I don't know how great of a topic this is or if it has been before; but today when I was checking out the new releases of music for Tuesday I was a little irked by one of my pet peeves. We all have things in life that bother us or irritate us on a small level so I was wondering what other people's pet peeves were.

So to get the thread started here is one of my many pet peeves, it involves music, specifically one-hit wonder groups who after ten years try to release a greatest hits album. This week brings two such albums Third Eye Blinds: A Collection and The Rembrandts: Greatest Hits both groups had one popular song maybe two that made waves. Therefore I am sure that anyone who wanted to hear I'll Be there for You, more than 12,000 times has the song already, Same goes for Semi-charmed life or How's it Gonna Be, those who liked it then bought it nobody was busting down the doors of the music industry demanding these albums must be made, so why make yourself look retarded.

Cosigned!

You don't release a "greatest hits" unless damn near every song on there is something in the public consciousness. If you have cool rare stuff you want to expose people to, put it on an additional disc to complement the greatest hits collection(s).

My pet peeve this morning involves people who can't read emails so they need a conference call where I essentially recite the email to them.

Along the same vein - groups who put brand-new songs on their greatest hits albums.

I'll never forgive Journey for omitting "Still They Ride" in favor of "Be Good To Yourself" on their greatest hits album.

"Be Good To Yourself" was a hit single from the Raised on Radio album that came out two years before their Greatest Hits album. It wasn't brand-new.

I took a stab. I think they released a new one on that album, but I can't remember the name. Either way, Be Good To Yourself should've never, ever trumped Still They Ride. No fucking way.

i cant stand people fidgeting or tapping or whatever near me. some examples: if my gf and i are on the couch or bed, and she is bouncing her foot or fidgeting in some way, it drives me crazy. if my cat is near me, or even in my peripheral vision, i cant stand when she cleans herself. the first time i ever punched someone, was in 2nd or 3rd grade when this kid next to me kept tapping his pencil and knew it was bothering me so wouldnt stop. first i asked the teacher to make him stop, she told me to deal with it, so i did and punched him in the eye, and he stopped... i guess i won lol.

basically any repetitive motion that i can feel, or see, will cause problems. i know im a little OCD about it, but it really drives me that crazy.

I had two weird things that police might be able to tie together for me that happened at the supermarket but I dont have the forensics to do myself. 1, the bag boy put every single item in its own plastic bag (weird), even a 12-pack of pop. 2, one item/bag was a large bottle of lighter fluid for the grill. Somehow before I got home the cap got knocked off the bottle and a good portion spilled in my trunk, and the majority of it in my kitchen. He must have thrown it in the cart, and it hit the side and knocked the cap off... thats all I can think of. My kitchen stunk like lighter fluid all day and night and my car still stinks.

In the spirit of the 'hit it or not to hit it' thread I'll add one. Psycho people who want/love you even though its not happening. Move on, don't latch on in the first place, etc. I've had the same gf for almost three years now, get a clue.

You'd see people grooving at the park, on the sidewalk, in the record stores to the music they played overhead...it was dope, and it was a sign of a healthy society. Now people just sit at home and play WoW.

The old people are the only ones that know how to dance too. At almost every wedding/dinner club, etc the old ones are out there cutting rug and the other people are just trying to look like they are not the worst dancers out there. I guess parents just don't teach their kids and they never learn the rythm. Of course there are good young dancers to hip hop music, but I'm talking ball room style.

Big Swami
08-20-2007, 10:24 AM
When our parents were growing up, learning how to dance was a rite of passage that pretty much went hand in hand with not embarrassing yourself in front of the opposite sex. Every school and community center had tons of dances. Hell, sometimes even the churches had them. It was easy to learn how to dance, because everyone was dancing all the time. As a kid, you'd learn the cool dances from your peers, and every adult (ask someone over 50 right now) can perform a routine of all the fad dances that were popular when they were growing up. WTFchris, you're totally right that every wedding I've ever been to, the old folks are tearing it up on the dance floor all night long and the 20-30 somethings are just staring at them in amazement. As long as none of us knows how to dance, the old folks are going to continue to be cooler than we are.

I kind of got to thinking about this more and more because of a news report I heard about "civic disengagement." Basically, what's happening now is that people are bowling, but they're not joining bowling leagues. Men and women dance in their kitchens but they stand around at the dance clubs drinking and talking. People don't mind eating outside, but when's the last time someone you know organized a big neighborhood picnic, just to have a good time?

And I'm one of those kids who grew up playing Nintendo, and never learned how to dance, and I really regret that. My ideal life is one where everyone has the cultural graces of 1964, but without the racism. I want a life where people actually are not afraid to socially engage one another. I think I was just born in the wrong decade.

WTFchris
08-20-2007, 10:29 AM
I didn't learn how to dance until a couple months before our wedding when her parents taught us. And even then we only learned 3 types (Waltz, Rumba and Fox Trot). I couldn't tell you what dance goes what which song if I hear a big band song, but I tell you what...everyone was delighted at our first dance out there. They didn't know that we only knew a few steps. It was 1,000 times better than your standard slow dancing you see now.

I only wish I really knew it well enough to dance in public more. Especially since my wife would really love it. I encourage every person getting married (or even if you aren't) to take some basic lessons. She'll be really impressed and so will the guests. Plus it makes you feel good out there, and not like you hope nobody is really paying attention (which they are).

Big Swami
08-20-2007, 10:41 AM
You're basically telling my story, dude. I did the exact same thing - went to some classes before the wedding, learned some moves to show off, ended up looking pretty good at the first dance of the reception. But it sparked a lot of fights and frustrations.

How you dance will actually tell you a lot about the character of your relationship.

^I actually sort the stuff myself when I put it on the belt (you are there forever) so I don't have to wait for those idtiots to sort the shit into 5,000 bags. It also saves me time putting the crap in the fridge when I get home.

My supermarket pet pieve is how slow those damn cashiers are. I know they get paid hourly, but come on. They spend enough time on each item to read the nutrition label. it's not that complicated. I know because I did that for 3 years. After about a week you get good enough to fly through the orders. You might not know the PLU's for produce, but %90 of them have stickers anyway.

I think they should have a meter under each checkout number sign saying items per minute (like typing), so you can see how fast each cashier is going. I always pick the worst line. I learned the key to picking the best line is not the size of the carts waiting in line, but how dumb the cashier is. You have to size them up, which is hard to do without actually being in the line for a few minutes (which is long enough for all the other lines to fill up and you are trapped).

The only pre-sorting I do on the belt is heavy shit first (milk, 12 pack of pop, etc.). I learned the hard way that if you put the bread products first, they get flattened at the bottom of the cart due to the FOFI system (first on, first in).

Back in the day when I was a bagger we did a stellar job of packing that shit. We used paper mostly (it packs WAY better), and actually had baggers. Now the cashiers just do it, which slows them down. Saves Meijer money, and makes everyone wait. Instead of rolling that bagger money into an extra couple cashiers, we all suffer.

I stopped going to the Hardings closer to me a year ago, only ever used the bakery at the one in your town, but the Village Market where i live is 10X worse than either that or Meijers.

I was at lunch a while back and I was watching a table full of women eat lunch. It was amazing. The four would all start talking at the same time then all stop at the same time, but they actually understood each other I think. They would all talk, then all laugh, then all eat. This went on for the entire lunch.

In my circles, we generally listen (or pretend too) while the other person is talking, then reply while they listen.

I honestly think women have talents that haven't been discovered yet.

Big Swami
08-24-2007, 02:21 PM
One of the things that's so amazing and also so frustrating about women is that they are not strongly tied to their senses. They may be talking or other women may be talking, but they're not paying attention to what's being said. They're paying attention to the interpersonal subtext. Advantage: it allows them to deeply know and understand someone else's psyche in a short period of time, and it gives them a level of enjoyment with their friends that we can never fully appreciate. Disadvantage: it makes them, at times, profoundly and hilariously unaware of their surroundings.

OK, I'm taking it back to my frustration about bathrooms again.

I work in a building where all the restrooms are communal - two urinals, two toilets, and a row of sinks. Today I really had to go to the bathroom - thank you Diet Coke and Thai food - and I am not exaggerating when I say that I just barely made it.

Now, let me say something here: I know I'm weird. I like privacy when I use the bathroom. I prefer to be the only one using it. But today, there was someone else in the bathroom with me. He was someone who appeared to be using the bathroom sinks to wash every container he had ever used to carry his lunch to work. And it took him about 7 minutes to finish it. Every time he turned off the water, and I thought he was going to be done, he would turn it back on again.

Now, keep in mind, I am about to lay down the kind of explosive turd that only Diet Coke and Thai food can really deliver, so I don't necessarily want an apparently homeless co-worker sitting right outside my stall, using the filthy bathroom faucets as a dishwasher, for 7 minutes while I seethe and clench and do my best mental impression of the Amityville house ("GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT"). There are just some things you don't do in a communal bathroom.

I figure that no one has ever really laid down the rules for good restroom etiquette. I thought I would try to come up with some.

The bathroom is for pissing, shitting, and washing your hands. If you're not doing one of those things, get the fuck out.
By the way, wash your hands before you leave, you goddamn sleaze. This is why I don't like shaking hands.
The bathroom is a silent place. If you want to chat, do it somewhere else. If you want to talk on your cell phone (I can't believe anyone would want to), do it somewhere else. If you want to make small talk with you co-workers, do it in the lunchroom. My dick is hanging out of my pants, and that just doesn't make me feel social.
I'm going to wish death on the next person who stands just outside the bathroom holding a cell phone conversation. Just because you're not technically in the bathroom doesn't mean that the person who is in the bathroom isn't praying that you get super-AIDS.
If there are 5 stalls, and I'm in the one on the end, guess which one you use? That's right, the one on the other end, fuckface. Not the one right next to me, you fucking cruiser.


And that's about all I could come up with.

I concur. I go downstairs to a set of bathrooms that barely anybody uses to do #2. I don't want people to hear me drop the bomb. BTW, the ones that are in there washing their dishes are the same people that wan't to carry on a 5 minute discussion about the weather as well.

Like you said, if you want to talk to me then why not stop by and chat.

Something else I've always wondered...why do they call it the restroom? I don't take naps in there. There are no couches in there. Call it a damn bathroom. Washroom, sure, I suppose. Lavatory, if you must. it's not a restroom. In fact sometimes #2 is very far from a "rest" at all.

Frankly, the ideal situation is one where the bathroom is shared amongst less than 10 people, and it has a single toilet and a single sink and you close the door when you use it.

At my last job, there were no such toilets. I worked at Visteon Village in Van Buren Twp. and because I had an IT badge that would get me in anywhere, I would actually go across campus to the top floor of the executive office building and use their toilets. Them fuckers never showed up to work.

My personal favorite is "have a blessed day" and other similar ways that people try to work the word "blessed" into normal colloquial conversation. I'd like it better if people would just say "Jesus loves you" but they know Kroger will fire them from the checkout register if they do.

The word "blessed" is like a code word that basically says "I am a devout Christian but I can't be more verbal about it because of the religious intimidation policy in my workplace." I actually like talking to people about their religions and discussing Jesus, but people gotta know there is a time and a place.

If a lane is merging, and everyone has been warned about it well in advance, there are two rules I live by:

* If I am in the lane that is ending, I'm going to be one of those jerks who rides the lane divider, preventing everyone from zipping ahead of me to merge. Sorry, but that's the policy. All you assholes who zip up to the end of the lane to merge are the ones who are holding up all the goddamn traffic.

* If I am in the lane that other people are trying to merge into, you're not getting into shit unless you use a turn signal. I'll happily sit there and wait for you to merge ahead of me if you're using your turn signal, but if you don't bother to use it, you can sit and wonder "hmmm, what am I doing wrong?" And you know what? It takes them forever to figure it out!

No no no - I swear to you, this is a universal law and I am never wrong:

BEWARE OF DRIVERS WEARING HATS.

You should be concerned whenever someone is wearing a hat in their car. The bigger and stranger the hat, the more worried you should be. There is not a reason in the world someone needs to wear a hat inside their car, and this should be a tip to you that you are dealing with someone with poor decision-making skills. My dad told me this ages ago and he has never been wrong about this. He has proven his wisdom on this issue over the years.

I never let people through that don't have turn signals on. I hate it when people sit at the end of a driveway or business without a signal. If you can't tell me where you are going, then I'm not going to attempt to accomidate you at all.

I also hate the people who zip up ahead on those merges. Like you have more important places to be than me? My policy is that if I was there first, you're waiting. If we've both been waiting pretty close to the same amount, I'll let people in. My favorite is when a person zips by when I am almost to the merge, then I catch them at the point they are forced to merge...they sit there with their signal on and I don't let them in and motion "to the end of the line" for them.

Exactly. There are plenty of other reasons someone might be a bad driver - for instance, if you live in Oakland County. But the hat thing has rarely proven wrong in my experience.

I hate when parents take their kid to the allergist/asthma doctor and wonder how to make things better, but yet they smoke like fucking chimneys around them.

I hate when doctors burp and make weird noises when they are dictating shit and never say excuse me or run it back a little to cover that shit up.

I hate that insurance companies force doctors to change a prescription because it is not on the formulary due to them changing it a few weeks prior. Insurance companies are running your medical care not doctors.

I hate all these fucking doctors who said whelp instead of welt. Whelp are a litter of puppies. Even my favorite doctor, the allergist says that, even after we had a talk about what the difference between a whelp and welt is.

Okay off that rant now on to stores.

I hate that Wal-Mart and places like that have electric carts, but refuse to make their aisles wider.

I hate people who stand in the middle of a fucking aisle to talk to someone else or when they park their cart in the middle of the aisle and go get something. I ram their shit out of the way and glare at them, daring them to say a fucking word to me.

On to the foster care system.

It pisses me off that you have to lock up any alcohol you might have, but they don't give a shit that you are smoking 2 packs a day.

It pisses me off to see these disabled people becoming foster parents. They are deemed unable to work, but yet they can take care of 3-5 kids every day....what?!?

I hate the fact that foster workers are always in meetings /trainingand expect the foster parents to work around their schedule or the schedule of the parents.

Why do parents who get their kids taken away think they have the right to criticize those who have been given the responsibility of raising your kids while you get your shit cleaned up. If they were such good parents, I wouldn't have your kids.

Why is smoking while pregnant not a crime. Almost nothing pisses me off worse than going to pick up work at the doctors office and seeing these fucking pregnant woman putting out a cigarette before they go see their GYN doctor.

FWIW, no I don't have food allergies, but I wholeheartedly agree with the "living without" crowd on a few things:

1) If "as comfortable and safe as they can be" translates to "documenting what the fuck is in the food so you know what's going in your body", I'm all for that! That benefits everyone, not just folks with allergies. How much melamine-laced Chinese gluten or genetic frankenfood have you had lately?

2) Women with such allergies are less likely to be able to procreate. They're more likely to have challenged reproductive systems owing to past allergic reaction. They're more likely to be allergic to their man's sperm if he ingests peanut oil. Natural selection is actually on your side here. Unfortunately...

3) ...peanut and food allergy is less of a freaky thing all the time, at far as incidence within the population. What's freaky in this case is that there's countries like China who historically ingest as much peanuts as we do, if not more so, and -don't- have high peanut allergies. The operating theory with peanuts in particular is that we roast them, while most other cultures tend to fry or boil them, and the roasting of the peanuts fucks their proteins up in a way that's more likely to fuck us up. The dogma is that pre-processing of food proteins, and the narrowing of food proteins consumed, are at the heart of a lot of food allergies. "Our society eats peanut products now" might be more rightly conveyed as "Our society eats less other products, and fucks up the products we have", in ways we're just starting to understand. Do you tell people to "adapt" to eating undercooked meat or do you tell them to fucking cook the meat right?

Big Swami

Good question, especially now that I'm a vegetarian. I do understand that our biological ecosystem is at great risk in part because of the specialization of our diet. We consume so many products derived from corn that our whole society would collapse in the case of a critical problem in the corn supply. That's why I try to eat a wide variety of foods, even if none of it is meat.

Now that we've discussed Chinese fried peanuts, I must now eat some Szechuan food.

Is that crazy, or what? These guys with huge smiles on their face, singing away. Maybe at the break they show each other their woodies. "Look guys, since i started using cialis, I've got a 3 incher. Woo Hoo"

When those cocksuckers on ESPN make things out to be way bigger than they are. For instance: the Bears-Eagles game last week, Brian Griese leads the team down to win the game and the Bears move to 3-4...the drive now dubbed as "the season saver". Shit like that...any other examples anyone else can think of?

I love ESPN because it's the only channel that has sports coverage 24/7. Even FSN goes to infomercials.

However, I hate ESPN almost as much as I love it. They have so much bias and they overemphasize everything. Obviously the New York bias comes in hand, but find something new to talk about. I know that the Pats are great, and so are the Colts, but talk about other things as well. Do you remember when they had a "Is USC the best team ever?" vote for 25 straight days, and USC didn't even win the National Championship that year?

I can't handle their propaganda from time to time. Not to mention how often they contradict themselves with stupid ass opinions. I guess that's what happens when you hire too many jocks and not enough intelligent people to do shows.

Timone

I don't have a problem with ESPN really, but their NFL analysis pisses me off the most. EVERY YEAR when a team is undefeated by like week 6 they talk about the possibility of that team going 16-0.

I love ESPN too, don't get me wrong...it's on 24/7 for me.

Networks that have a sporting event and don't even come close (don't even try) to schedule the ending of the game at the right time. Do they really think the a WS game is going to take 2 hours? I don't start my Tivo for the half hour pregame show, but for the WS game itself (according to the guide). Then it doesn't start for 45 minutes after the programing start so its not even close to being the ending time. And it screws up my TIVO.

According to my digital guide (DTV) I'm watching Family Guy and its only the 6th inning of the game.

I've been told they do this to get rating for their later programs. They all do it.
