Pet peeves?

[an anarchist]

What is/are your pet peeves?
I'll start.

People always tell me "hey you look like so and so!" Never "hey you look good!". When I had long hair and facial hair, people always told me I looked like Jesus/Charles Manson. Like literally called that hundred of times it feels. At my new work place I got it at least once a day.
Then I cut my hair but kept the mustache and now everyone tells me I look like a 80's porn star. Well the old guy at work tells me I look like a 60's porn star. They always give me names too. "Hey you look like so and so the 80's porn star!".

So that's my pet peeve. What's yours?

My oldest son always gets mad at my husband because he tells people that he looks like Dave Mustaine...


My pet peeve is when people say God without specifying which one when its totally relevant to know that information.

"God doesn't like that". Really? Which one? I can think of 5 that don't, but 6 that do... (just for example)

I'd ask your friends why they're so familiar with porn stars, either from the 60's or the 80's. Then you don't have to answer anything at all.

Yes, you will always find someone who doesn't like how you look. I can't count how many times someone wanted me to change my appearance for them. My final answer is my appearance is your problem, not mine. I don't have to look at myself. It's your problem to solve.

I really do not have pet peeves anymore. I just learn from the diversity of other people and their actions and choices.

If I had to pick something, it's waking me up in the middle of the night on something others might deem an emergency. I do not get angry. I just know I can not be at my best without a good night's sleep. Perhaps this is something we all have in common.

That's what I see. It's very clear!!

People who chew with their mouth open.
People who interrupt / butt in when you are taking or listening to someone else.
Liars. (Including politicians)
Creeps.
Atheist haters, yes believe it or not, they exist.

When the local fox s***s on my doorstep, which it often does in an attempt to show who's the boss. Bloody animal. I'd happily brain it with a shovel if I got the chance.

Believe me, I've thought about that.

You'll be able to tell from the following that I'm not a patient person and don't suffer fools gladly. Here are several:

• Nonstandard abbreviations. If someone uses an abbreviation that isn't widely known, like FBI, unless I'm curious, which is about 20% of the time, I scroll past. If it isn't worth his time to write it out, it's not worth mine to figure it out.

• People with an email account that don't check it. It's like having a telephone answering machine you never check.

• I get emails in a local group with links to articles and no discussion of what's in the article or why I should read it, so-called orphan links. I delete them unread unless I trust the source to know what's worth reading or the subject line of the email intrigues me.

• Here in our Mexican village of about 40,000, we depend on Facebook to communicate with other expats and for notices from Mexican entrepreneurs. These are often about restaurants, often new. I can't tell you how many of these posts don't include a restaurant name or its location, just a picture and a description of a meal. Same deal. I need to be pretty curious to hunt the data down using Google. I usually just scroll by.

• Restaurants that don't have the silverware and condiments on the table when the meal is served. If I have to wait five minutes before I can start while my food is cooling, I consider the restaurant inattentive to its customers and don't return.

• Restaurants that run out of items and don't indicate it on the chalk board at the entrance or notify the waiters. I recently tried a new-to-me pasta place with my wife and a friend that was treating us to dinner. I ordered the Italian sausage linguini. Fifteen minutes later, the waiter tells me they're out of Italian sausage - about the time the other orders are about to be served. Now what? Order again and wait another fifteen minutes as my table mates either finish or watch their food go cold waiting? Wait to get home and eat there later? The restaurant has carelessly disrupted our dining experience.

• Markets that move everything around so that you can't find anything any more in order to make you look at more and hopefully sell you more.

My pet peeve is people who want Sikhs to remove their dastaars and cut their kesh. If only these people knew how much Sikhs do for their communities and for other communities, and how they would be treated if they were to visit the Harmandir Sahib or any gurdwara.
