  • Not me, but a woman from Paris said:  "It drives me crazy when American spew curses and vulgarity and then say, 'Pardon my French'."

  • People that message me at work with greetings like "hi" or "hello" and then wait for me to respond before asking their question. I get they are trying to be polite, but I don't need the pleasantries.

  • That's why I think it would be better to use a cartogram that represents each state's number of votes rather than its physical size and shape. There are a couple of different visual styles that could

buckeye, I agree we need to add more neighborhoods on our Hanna site however, you must have clicked on the Cleveland -Old Brooklyn tab because I just checked and when I asked for Cleveland region and Cleveland city, the first page had homes listed in 44113,44102, 44111 and 44106.  Besides Old Brooklyn as a separate category, I saw Ohio City. I didn't check to see if there are more but I will make the suggestion that all the neighborhoods be added in. 

 

You can also hit the advanced search button right on front page and type in streets, zip codes, styles of homes, etc.  Not trying to sound like a company person because up to a year or so ago I would have agreed with you. We were just voted however one of the top ten websites in the country for real estate by some company called 1000watts. 

 

Ok my advertisement is over.

 

Pet peeve? Bad radio, whether it's satelite or fm. I would love to support the local stations but they play the same songs/artists over and over again.  Even Internet radio sucks although I have found a few stations to listen to. Yeah I know iPod but it would be nice to be able to turn on a car radio once in a while.  Baldwin Wallace station is the only one I can listen to.

 

 

Gum chomping with an attitude. 

 

This gets on my nerves as well.  Every so often, someone sitting next to me at a meeting or in a movie theater is chewing gum very loudly.  I don't know why it bugs me so much.

Ok I have one-those giant SUV strollers. They may work in exurban malls and grocery stores, but they DO NOT on a SATURDAY at the westside market and other tight urban spaces. I am not opposed to regular, utilitarian strollers to push wee ones along, but those huge ones drive me crazy. And the parents are always obnoxious as hell, barging through the crowd expecting it to part for their over indulged spawn.

I can't stand it when i'm at the theater trying to enjoy a movie and the next thing i know i'm surrounded by people chomping popcorn with their mouths open. It completely drowns out the movie no matter how loud it is. I just wanna grab the bag out of their hands and throw it in their faces.

I hate when I lose something and someone asks me what I'm looking for, I tell them, then they say "where's the last place you saw it at".

is that a pet peeve b/c they ended the sentence with "at"?  :lol:

I hate when its obvious someone loses something, they are all stressed out and clearly not thinking right, then get upset because I try to help the refocus by placing a suggestive thought in the heads which will lead to the newly found object. ;)

Dude, asking me where I had it last is not going to do any good. I appreciate you trying to help but 'where i saw it last' is something that has already crossed my mind, and I've already looked there- if I even remembered where I last saw it :)

criticize all you want, but the truth is, the object usually is the last place you saw it.

 

 

 

URGHH

People who stand in doorways or other obvious choke points and hold conversations.

 

Being late.

 

Another one I even admit is off the wall:  when a radio ad repeats a phone number more than twice.  I will always turn ot off or change the channel.  I also hate ads trying to simulate the program, either by being read by the normal announcer or other means.

people who complain that they can't eat food containing small seeds (raspberries, poppy seed bagels, etc.) because "they get stuck" in their teeth. That's why they invented the toothbrush and dental floss, you idiots!!

I'll do you one better...I hate it when I go to the movies in a largely empty theater, sit down, and inevitably...INEVITABLY...some yokel plops him/herself either directly in front of me, or right next to me. Good god, man, you have the whole theater. You couldn't even give me a row???

 

I also hate it when people insist on unwrapping their hard candies during a movie. I mean, come on, Grandpa. You shouldn't be eating that stuff anyway. Didn't you hear Wilford Brimley? That stuff will give you the diabe-tiss.

I'm sorry if i've interrupted your movie going experience.

I always knew you were an old timer. But then I understand, the popcorn kernels can get stuck in the dentures. chickendance.gif

My nephew and I are the worst at the movie.  We have popcorn, chips and cheddar cheese, soda and candy.  All you hear is "crunch...crunch...crunch".  My 8 year old niece refuses to sit in the same row as us.  She'll sit two/three rows ahead.

 

During the movie, she'll turn around and roll her eyes every time I bite into a chip.  I try to be as quiet as possible.  :oops:

When people just rinse their hands after using the bathroom instead of taking the extra few seconds to wash them with soap, your hands are already under the faucet just use the d@mn soap!!

Another one is when theres more than 2 or more men waiting to board an elevator, i know its polite to let the women get on first, but once they get on why is it always some kind of a contest to see who can be the LAST man on the elevator. They all just stand there with their arms out insisting the other get on before they do!! Cracks me up and pisses me off at the same time every time i see it.

Also, hold the door open from the outside, dont stand inside the door blocking half the door just so you can say you held the door for someone when you were actually doing more harm than good by blocking the door!

^I fully admit that I'm a "ladies first" on the elevator kind of guy but I stay well out of the doorway.

 

As to the other point, there's never been a "contest" because I think a lot of the guys in my building were raised by wolves. I get a sick pleasure out of holding the door for the ladies, and when some ogre barges in before everybody and I happily announce "Ladies first!" - the women alternately scowl at the pig and say "aw, what a gentleman!" to me. :-D

People that drive slow in the left lane on the highway, people that drive the same exact speed as the person next to them on the highway, people that don't know to stop at an intersection when a street light is out...AND...people that think the words THEN and THAN are interchangable!!!

to heck with you, THAN!  :lol:

Oh if we're going THAT route...

 

shinny instead of shiny

quite instead of quiet

intensive purposes instead of intents and purposes

 

And the ever popular:

 

Unnecessary apostrophe and 's', usually found on printed handwritten signage.

Unnecessary prepositions - probably the most common grammatical mistake on the forum (i.e. "where is that AT?")

when people spell "definitely" as definately or definatley....

OK we have gone there. For some reason I do not like "firstly", "secondly", and "thirdly" when making a point. Why not "first", "second" and "third"?

 

I don't think "irregardless" is a word either.

Er, you might have missed this; what happened in the straight world is that men decided to stop doing those kinds of niceties when a lot of women started dressing sloppy/like guys, getting bad haircuts, gaining a bunch of weight and started with that "princess" BS.

"when a lot of women started dressing sloppy/like guys, getting bad haircuts, gaining a bunch of weight..."

 

Okay, you've just named another pet peeve of mine ;-) Actually, my biggest pet peeves with that are the gals who let themselves go, don't wear makeup, don't do anything with their hair, don't accessorize, and have the unmitigated gall to complain that guys don't approach them. And same goes for guys, I guess!

 

The "princess" BS... well, I say if the gal takes decent care of herself, she's entitled to a reasonable amount of 'tude. :-)

I dont want to come off sounding like a barbarian in my last post, but i do let the ladies on first and will hold the doors at every chance i get, but after the ladies are on the elevator im usually right behind them while everyone else fights to be the last one on.

I hate the use of "loose" when someone means "lose"

 

It makes me loose my mind!

People who pronounce jewelry as jew-le-ry. One hears this from 99 out of 100 New Yorkers! Enough already: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?jewelr01.wav=jewelry

 

That being said, I am not perfect (hard to believe). It was only a few years ago that I learned that the word restaurateur did not have an “n”—as in the common mistake restauranteur. Now, of course, I point out everybody else’s error (only for their own good).

 

Oh you mean like re-la-tor instead of real-tor?

People who refer to realtors as "rea-li-tors".

 

See, now I didn't even know that about restaurateur vs. restauranteur. The more you know....

owe me a coke

D'OH!

people who ask, "Can I ask you a question."  Like fireants running underneath my skin

 

Also, when you're talking in class and people sitting in front of you start twisting their necks and giving you the fish eye.  Are they trying to read my lips or something???  T

Biggest pet peeves:  High pre-sale benchmarks for condo projects.

Whistling!  Foot tapping!  Pen clicking!  Finger tapping!  Gah!!

Can i ask you a question?  Did you say something stupid?  If yes, then they're reading you!

When people don't bring a towel to the gym, they sweat all over the place then leave it on the equipment.
