When people say "an history" (not really a big pet peeve, it just bugs me a little bit).
Like, history starts with an H and isn't really a vowel sound. I think "a history teacher" sounds better than "An history teacher." I know for words like "an hour" it makes sense. And this isn't aimed at the person who said "an history teacher" above. It just made me think of it. And people who have horrible grammar and say "I seen her." ACK! |

Like a few of you, I appear to have slight OCD.
-someone mentioned pens in rainbow order, I have to have mine in rainbow order too. -the volume on the TV has to be at a multiple of 5, or the solitary number 7 -I get annoyed if i hold something my fingers don't cup it in the triangular number 6 formation -When my jaw locks when I yawn. -Slow walkers on Oxford St. -People who stand on the left on escalators. -People who give their unwanted opinions -People with no Tact or Respect -The new generation of Teenagers that appear to be coming in... Believe me, there are LOTS more haha. Stephen x |

Me too, with both of these. But it has to be a multiple of five. And car locks on the inside- they all either have to be unlocked or locked. Not one locked and the rest unlocked. All of them even, all the time. It drives me nuts. No idea why. Here's something that bugs me. A conversation I had last night with a theatre friend, after finding out that our professional theatre is doing Wizard of Oz: ME: They need to do something with substance! HER: Well, they just did Beauty and the Beast! ME: Exactly. That's not substance. HER: What? It's a great story! ME: Nevermind. They need Sondheim! HER: What's that? Then we talked about famous people we want to meet. ME: I really need to meet Bernadette Peters. Like, I NEED to. HER: Who's that? ME: Come on! She originated the Witch in ITW and Dot in SitPWG? HER: What are those? ME: Nevermind... oh yeah, and I'd love to talk with Alan Menken. HER: Who's she? ME: What???????!!!!! |

Ohhhh dear I could go on and on about our section. The best was a facebook bitchfight between our first chair and our second-to-last chair. Second-to-last girl put in her facebook profile that she could "out-flute" anyone and first chair was very offended. We aren't very conceited as a section, but everyone thinks they're the best. (Well, I know I suck, but I also know that I am at least better than the people I sit in front of.) All of this gets even more amusing when Mr. Band Director announces there can only be two flutes in pit. |

I've seen worse cases where people don't even really interact with their "outdoor dogs" at all, so in comparison you aren't very bad people. I still think it's wrong though. No offense, but why would your family get a large dog if they knew it was too big to keep in the house? |

There is one flute player in our band who has been playing the flute since the first day of 5th grade, and still doesn't know how to play her instrument. She wont get private lessons either. And she cries whenever the teacher tells her to play a scale. You'd think she'd pick something up after 5 years, but no. So naturally, she's last chair, and naturally, it's me who has to sit next to her and get wrong notes and rhythms blown into my ears. And she doesn't brush her teeth either...so her flute smells bad. Basically, whenever it's a flute and oboe solo, it turns into an oboe solo because our flutes can never play it. And the flutes never understand that when they have a big long whole note, no one really cares about it cuz it's not the melody...but they blast it as loud as they can anyways -_-. That's another thing that bugs me; when people don't back off a little when they don't have the melody. |

When people ask questions that could be solved by THIRTY SECONDS WITH GOOGLE. Questions that don't even require boolean search strings or sifting past the first page of results. How hard is it, honestly?
People who drive at or below the speed limit in the left lane. Drive as slow as you want, buddy, just get out of my way. I don't actually mind too much when people forget to signal a turn, but an eternity in the fiery pit awaits anyone who changes lanes without signalling. With added pitchforks if they're weaving, traffic speed is over 60mph, or if they cut in less than half a carlength in front of you. Any male whose response to "I like girls" is "Oh great, I love lesbos, can I watch?" faces an eternity in the fiery pit--after dying from complications involving castration with a rusty butter knife. Customers who, in the same gesture, plonk a dozen things down on the counter and start impatiently waving a credit card in my face. Jesus, do you think the merchandise magically scans itself? Certain forms of homophone confusion. My eyes just skate right over their/they're/there mixups by now, but when it involves less common words it makes me want to beat the perpetrator over the head with the Compact Oxford English Dictionary while shouting, "If you know what an allusion is, you should damn well know that it's not an illusion or elusion!" Others in this category include discreet/discrete, faze/phase, flout/flaunt, and any others that don't get used often but are consistently mixed up when they do get used. (Also, any misuse of the noun form of "affect" or the verb form of "effect" deserves a reply with a "PRETENSION: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" macro.) Guys who drench themselves in Axe. It doesn't smell manly. It smells like essence of slimeball with undertones of insecure fifteen-year-old. |

When people act like Sondheim is the ONLY composer that has shows with substance.
For instance, Luc's post (which was funny and...almost unbelievable...that person needs a few lessons!)...I feel Beauty and the Beast definately has substance. It's not the same level of substance as something like a Sondheim show, but it is NOT The Wiggles or High School Musical. I think it's a great show. |
||||||||||||
| candymancan |
AGREED!!!! I hate when people act like Sondheim is the only good thing and that nothing is comparable. I guess Webber stuff isn't the best but at least it is Melodical for the most part. Sondheim is just an over all better lyricist But musically, it is harder to find his stuff Melodical. |

This widespread, "nothing is sacred" hatred of smoking. It's a personal choice if someone chooses not to, and those who do choose to should respect them. But that respect goes both ways. I'm really tired of these smear campaigns in the media that go beyond a public service announcement presenting the dangers of tobacco use and are just abusive. And lately, I've even been hearing people say things like, "I can't be your friend if you smoke." I've actually overheard a few different people say that sentence to people. And I don't think that says much about their attitude towards others. | ||||||||||||

Something else that really bugs me is when I'm watching a show and realise that, subconsciously, I've started critiquing it. I haven't just watched a show purely for enjoyment in the longest time, and I wish I could. But since I got into theatre myself, I seem to have become the worst nitpicker ever.
Also, people who don't get why Monty Python is funny. Not people who don't like their particular brand of humour, but people who flat out can't comprehend why some others find it hilarious. (In other words, my sisters. Who also don't understand The Princess Bride.) |

At our school, if you need the loo during a lesson, you need to get permission from your teacher, if they say yes, you must go allllllll the way to reception to get a key, sign your name down, then a senior member of staff must "aprove" of it and then you can use the loo, by this time you've probably peed yourself and missed half an hour of a lesson anyway. |

Wow, you guys have strict teachers. The only bad thing about going to the bathroom at my school is that our "hall passes" are bright yellow-green netted vests with the name of the teacher from whose class you left. Also some teachers give you a limited number of times you can leave per term, one teacher allots two passes and if you don't use them you get extra credit at the end, which is nice, although there are times when i really want to use the bathroom and I don't because I want the extra credit...But that doesn't really compare with some of the stuff above. | ||||||||||||

My School's policy is similar to Wickedboy's. Get a pass, go to the office (which can be an extremely long way given that my school is a quarter mile long) get another pass, go to the bathroom, come back to the office, go back to class. You basically have to devote an entire class period to using the bathroom. |

I am annoyed by...
people who get their phones out during a movie or play. Dammit, we can see you! Do you really think your dumb friend's text is more important than the film/play you paid money to see? And if it's a play, YES, the actors can see you too. kids here at uni who think they're sooo damn entitled to everything. Like, their mommies and daddies are paying for school, but they lie around and whine about how gross the food is in the dining hall. Bitch, I can't even afford a meal plan! Oh, how much I pity you, having to go eat (relatively) fresh food every day! Here, come share some Ramen with me, you spoiled asshat. people who walk on escalators. Especially if they walk up behind me and just stand there. Dude. These stairs are moving by themselves. Trust me. We'll get there. people who base their entire political view on one aspect of a campaign. Like, "What, you're a Democrat? So you support killing FETUSES?" What? No, stupid, I actually don't care what you do with your fetus. It's not my problem. Anyway, the current administration is republican--what are they doing to prevent abortion, huh? "OMG WUT BARAK OBAMA IS NOT A CHRISTIEN!!!1!!" Go die. customers who don't tip. I have an education to pay for, people! people who complain because movie tickets are so high. Great, it's expensive, we get it. Hey, guess what! I didn't set the price myself, you moron. And neither did my friend over there set the concessions prices. But yeah, you go on and bitch about paying $7 for a large popcorn and large drink while paying for it anyway. I'm sure that'll get you far in life. people who leave their trash from other places in the theatres. "What? This customer left a half-finished bag of Orville Redenbacher's under his chair? Egad! I have had an epiphany! We must be charging too much for our own concessions! I, as the poor slob who comes in to clean up after you, will now go change the prices based completely on your noble inability to carry a piece of garbage over to the trash can you are going to pass on your way out anyway!" Tila Tequila. She is self-centred and monstrously untalented. And bears more than a passing resemblance to E.T. when my roommate is talking on the phone to her boyfriend and speaks in a slow, high-pitched nasal voice in order to sound... flirty? Or something? And says "True, true." every two sentences. And then she verbally abuses this boyfriend. my roommate's BOSE alarm clock/radio/creepy robot thing that I'm convinced will somehow kill me in my sleep. Every time I turn off the light, the digital display on that thing gets magically brighter, and when I turn the light back on, it gets dimmer. It frightens me. learning German. It makes me feel like a Dummkopf. when people in French class say "je pense que..." instead of "je crois que..." when I start telling a story and realise no one around me cares. Ehh. (This is annoyance at myself, by the way, not the good people who don't care.) people who sit in the second-floor lounge and forbid anyone around them to make any noise while they "study"... and then get on facebook. Get on facebook in your own room, bitch! I want to watch Frasier. libertarians.

I hate having to share a step with people on the escalators. Dunno why.
Also, I'm seriously thinking about staging a campaign about the whole toilet business at my my school. There's never any soap in there, they smell of urine, you always end up finding a condom (once I found a used one) in the sink, if not they're blocked up with tissue, and then you have whole business of getting there (see a couple pages back). That is one of the reason I don't drink much water at school other than a Thursday (I have double music and singing lessons which both involve... singing,) because if not I'll be peeing all day and well... I just hate the school toilets. Another thing that bugs me... PE teachers. When they make you run cross country in the snow!

Hehe, may I should have said "That specific brand of college 'libertarians' who always know some obscure indy band or film that's better than anything you've ever heard, wear strange clothes just to get attention, and pretend that they have some sort of higher view of politics that only someone so smart could understand." But all they're really doing is proving they're too lazy to make an effort to follow politics, so they just pretend to hate the whole "system."
But... they move! By themselves! Why waste that? (I usually try to move aside, and YES, to the right so that those weird, weird walkers can pass me. Unless the escalator is too narrow, and then they just have to get over it. |

When we are 3 weeks out from show open, it bugs me when: 1. leads don't have their lines memorized yet and call "line" for every line in a scene 2. leads don't know their choreography yet, and don't care to practice 3. leads don't have their songs memorized 4. leads that didn't boter to write down their blocking and therefore run in to the people who did write it down and learn it. 5. leads feel free to rip on other cast members who have all of the previously mentioned items down cold. I am reaching my highest level of pisstivity. If this show doesn't kill me, I will be surprised. |

Oh yes. My sophomore year in high-school, everyone I hung out with subscribed to the neo-hippie "indie kid" formula, with the Woodstock-replica clothes and the pot smoking (some of them) and the "maaan, you have to listen to (fill in the blank neo-folk indie music). 'Cause it's deep and it'll change your life. And totally blow your mind." I tried all that, except for the pot smoking, until I realized that it all sort of pissed me off. Because while they were trying to make the case that they were "different" (the term "indie" itself implies an independent school of thought), they were all flower-child clones of each other, preaching the same anarchy and "deep thought." So yeah, I'm still friends with some of them. The nice ones. But I don't feel like I have to be like them anymore. |

Smokers who breathe in my face and don't ask if its OK to have a smoke. Sure I'll say its OK, its a free country, but if I had asthma or was allergic to cigarette smoke like my friend Jenni, then its better if you just wait. Its just common courtesy.
edit: I mean when people are all out together. If someone goeso utside of a pub to smoke and someone joins them, then the person who joins them has no right to say, "Hey, stub that out". Know what I mean? |

Poltitics. They confuse me.

I hate it when people stand right in front of the smoke-free campus signs and smoke. I think the uni should enact a law that we are allowed to smack said smokers in the head with said signs under these circumstances.
I don't hate people who smoke, either. I don't personally understand why they've made that choice, but I also don't understand why people go to tanning booths or sign up for higher-level maths classes. The difference is that smokers can actually irritate other people. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke as well, but I have friends who smoke. They're just the polite ones who go around to corner to do it. And I do hold my breath when I walk by smokers, but that's because I am allergic to their fumes. I don't try to make a big show out of it, either; it's just something I have to do. I am also annoyed by the fact that our campus cable system guide channel plays the James Bond theme over and over and over all the time. That's literally the only music they have, though in between run-throughs they have a recording of the bell-tower chiming... *sigh* Oh, and Joel Schumacher! And Carson Daly. And, more than anything else I've mentioned... I am profoundly annoyed by the existence of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408236/ |

non smokers have no business telling smokers to go outside and smoke. we can smoke inside a bar if we so chose. and no prissy little whiny snot is going to tell me not to. |

And why do they have no right? If you're smoking in a public place and it's annoying non-smokers, wouldn't the right thing to do be to not smoke them out? |

Second hand smoke is harmful. Period.
Stub it out and shut up. |

I said nothing about asthma. I just said it bothers people. And we could flip the situation around and say you knew there would be non-smokers in the establishment and you didn't have to go there. Why should people doing the annoying thing get the privelage? Btw, today is National Kick-Butt Day (smoking). |

I agree with Salome, if you go into a bar, you have to expect people to smoke. A lot of states have outlawed smoking in resteraunts...but it's still totally fine to smoke in bars.
If you come into my house and start smoking without asking, than we have a problem. |

In my area many places dont allow there to be smoking, so of course for the ones that do, there are going to be lots of smokers. A bar is a bar... people drink and smoke at a bar one should expect nothing less. If one is smoking in a public place then stay away from them obviously... it's a 'public place' therefore you don't have to be right next to them considering public places are generally large in area. It's like going to a classic rock concert (or a Lil Wayne concert for that matter)... tons of people are going to be smoking pot (aside from the fact that it's illegal). If I didn't want to be around it, I wouldn't go to such a concert. Sure, maybe it offends you but it's still a public place and where people are allowed to smoke, they should be allowed to. Some smokers are more courteous than others but probably most of them are not going to care about a stranger that's offended by their smoking. If I was smoking in a public place and some random person came up to me and told me to put it out because it was annoying, I would say to hell with them it's my right. Maybe that sounds selfish, but I'm not going to fret about annoying some random stranger with my smoke. Now, If a friend had health issues that was sitting next to me, I would not light one up next to them obviously. And also, I'd rather smoke in a public place than in my car honestly, because I don't like my car being filled with the smell of smoke (and I've burned a hole in my seat ugh). |

Ah, well, that would be apparent at this point. Other things that bug me include people who can't spell and poor grammar. And when it's 8 days before the curtain goes up and the director hasn't made time to actually watch the show yet. |

Good point.
...I take it you guys aren't big tippers, then?
Heh. Oh soprano. I know I've said it hundreds of times, but I love you. It's really easy to tell who on this forum is a smoker and who isn't, huh? ...grown women threatening high school kids, too. My favourite part is that the high school kids have the better typing skills. |

Thanks, m'dear, I love you too.
I just finished watching an episode of Frasier dealing in part with Niles' fear of bugs. I'm afraid of dead bugs. |
