What are your pet hates?

Here 4 of Mine. To Start it off.

Boring & just plain weird customers. They seamed to be a lot in this town for some reason. where I live. Also a lot of em, Are nice but really Boring.

Tec Tv's Info Ads, boy they really get my goat, during every advert break. you see the same ones over and over again. ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Short Games. I find any game thats short really annoying. anything less the 15 hrs is too blood short. even 20 Hrs.

Puplic Loos. I hate when you go into public loo. and the toilet Is stool stained. Lots of pebbles dashing.

I can't think of lots more. But maybe its because I'm a Grouchy old Bastard that s why.

I was thinking about this the other day, not sure why though but when you are trying to get plastic wrapping off and a tiny little but tears off, annoys me for some reason.

Answering machines that record the message and then, once the caller has hung up, say: "Thank you for calling!" What's the point of that? THERE'S NO-ONE THERE!

People who register on the same forum twice under different user names, claiming to be from different places though miraculously posting messages from the same computer.

Inconsiderateness, all aspects. People parking their cars as if they're alone in town, co-workers whistling in the office hall at full volume, talking and phones ringing in the cinema, etc etc.

Sloppy use of language in writing.

Retail store "services".

Smoking.

Rabid nailbiters.

"Dieting" and discussion thereof.

edit: And lots more. I have a headache. Thinking hurts today.

I used to hate short games, then i played PoP:Sot and realised it was far better value then most longer games.
Â£/Hour a 10 hour game is still better value then a DVD movie...as long as its consistantly good gameplay.
---
My pet hates:

1. Mobile Phone Adverts
2. Mobile Phones
3. People who constantly "show off" their mobile phone
4. Mobile phone ringtones
5...well, lets just skip a few...
20. Sonys Hype Machine.
21. Girls that says "What eVER" with the ver really long and americanish voice.
22. Garden Gnomes.
23. People that believe hype.
24. People that think Mature means Gory.
25. Creationists. (or at least, those that think Evolution says man came from monkeys)
26. "easy open" packets
27. DVD Region system.
28. Unnesscerly exaggerations (for example, the lastest EDGE cover..)

29. When you think your getting some cool, only to find out its crap. And then you feel foolish for believing the cool thing was possible...
(For example, the recent Nintendo magazines free gift)

30. PI
31. When you you are checking your mail, and you get an email title that your 99% sure is spam, but you have to check it anyway, because you know a few people who are stupid enough to title something "Hi!" and they are constantly changeing their emails. Later you feel stupid for even thinking their was a possibility it was not spam....

I got hundreds more, but i better stop their

Wildly incorrect usage of "apostrophe s".

Worst example I've ever seen was on a bus from Nottingham to Newcastle, where they were selling "Mar's Bar's".

Did I fume about it all the way home? Yes I did.

My pet (Taz the cat) hates dogs

Tossers in suits who say "Moving forward...................."

Vending machines that decide your 50 pence piece is in fact a rogue piece of scrap metal and spits it back out. Over and over again. Then suddenly accepts it.

Opening a tub of butter/marg to find crumbs of toast wiped all around the edges.

People in bank queues doing transactions involving two or more cards in one go. If I were in charge, they'd be back to the end of the line after using each card. (I'm a petty man, aren't I)

And finally - and I'm sure I'm not the only one here - tangled joypad cables.

wires in general, evil things

region coding on dvds and region coding on games is also evil

The over-use of the word 'absolutely'.

Loan adverts - most people are in enough debt as it is thank you very much!

Dust. It's only purpose it to show how long it's been since you last dusted!

Abbreviations, particularly of game titles. I never know what the hell people are on about and feel all left out.

Note that this only applies when i don't know the meaning of the abbreviation
