I have a pet peeve that when I'm riding down the street with the music loud and enjoying it bounce my balls in my boxers some nitwit will come by with a headache and expect me to turn it down.

• Those automated phone systems where you go through a myriad of different menus and messages, but none of them is what you need, and it's impossible to get a live person.
  
• People who walk their dogs outdoors, or let them run free, and don't clean up the messes they make.
  
• One of the following two:  I want to shop in privacy, but have a clerk coming around every few minutes to check if I need anything.  Or, I really do need help finding something, and there's no one around.  I think I can guess who's being paid on commission, LOL.
  
• Barking dogs left unattended to annoy the neighbors.
  
• People in crowded parking lots parking in a manner that takes up two spaces.
  
• Submissives or slaves who swear to Me that they are strictly submissive, have no desire to dominate or to switch, then I do a search and find a dominant profile for them (learned to do this routinely now due to being lied to so many times).
  
• The free daily papers that the local newspapers feel compelled to leave.  I don't subscribe to the newspaper because I don't read it, so these end up in the recycling bin untouched.  Also bad for people on vacation because they advertise that the people aren't home.  A friend of Mine travels for his work and has called the local paper at least six times to get this stopped.  They keep assuring him that he won't get any more unsolicited papers, yet the next time he turns around, there's another one.
  
• People who whistle or hum off-tune.  Hate it, it's SO irritating.
  
• People who allow their children to run around unattended in supermarkets so you have to be on the lookout so they don't smack into your cart and get hurt.

Dearest QGauge,

I decided to stop having pet peeves several years ago, I and I found that it has given me a new lease on life.  Instead of pet peeves, I now have Major Fisking Psychotic Hatreds. 

One of them is when an obese person decideds to inform ME that "smoking is bad for my health, didn't I know."  Well, you fat disgusting slob. . . I am not smoking for my health, I am doing it for YOUR health, because otherwise I would be stabbing you in the eye with one of those french fries that you are currently stuffing in your face and clogging your ateries with.  What is it with these people?  Do they think that I have been living in a cave somewhere and I just happened to miss the anti-smoking campaign?  That I just NEVER noticed ALL those fisking ads and warning lables?  Put the fork down, and when you can stop shopping at Omar the Tent Makers out of necessity for your clothing, THEN come and talk to me.  I will probably still tell you to fisk off though.

Another one is people that try to claim some sort of moral superiority for either A.  being a drug addict and then gfetting clean, or B.  having a job with a lack of education.  And many times, A & B seem to go togeather.  So, what you are saying to me is. . . you did drugs even though you knew is was a bad idea and people have been telling you since you were 3 days old that you will fisk up your life if you become an addict, but you did it anyway, cause you thought that you knew better?  And then ya dropped outta high school, after people, once again told you that it was a bads idea, but you did it anyway, cause you knew better.  And now, at age 38, you are finally gonna test for your GED, and you have stopped smoking pot, except occassionaly, and are flipping burgers at the local burger shop, living paycheck to paycheck, with children gawd knows how many children, not all of the same parentage. . . and I am suppose to think that you have made some sort of success out of your life, and should use you as a role model?  You are right, I do not know what the fisk I was thinking when I decided to not do drugs, stay in school, go to college and also serve in the military.  You are right, those were some bad choices. . . please tell me the right way to live, because I can see that you certainly DO have the answers.  Please teach me the fifteen diferent ways to make a crack pipe that you have learned. . . right before I CUT YOUR FACE WITH IT, YOU SELF-RIGHTOUS ARSEHOLE! 

Just my $.10.
