Don't mind me. I just felt like bitching about something, and this was the kind of thing that came to mind. :)
Things that pass from pet peeve territory into the "FISTS OF RAGE" arena with me:
1. Guys whose idea of asking me out includes the phrase, "When are we going out on a date?" You'll notice it's phrased so that I'm not being allowed to say no to that, inevitably by someone to whom NO would be my first answer.
2. My parents have a corner to their kitchen counter on which the coffeemaker and the dishwasher is on the right and the garbage can is in a drawer on the left. My father will pour himself coffee in the mornings, stir it with a spoon, then leave the dirty spoon on a napkin right on the counter in between the garbage can and the dishwasher. It's a tiny thing that drives me absolutely INSANE.
3. People who have an opinion on everything you say, and always think what they're saying is hopelessly witty, and seem to be spurred on when their "witty repartee" isn't constantly responded to with a BWAHAHAHA or the real-life equivalent of "*dies giggling* Metaquoted!". (That's what bugged me so much about Captain Asshat.)
4. Being expected to just know something I can only know if I'm told it by someone else. As much as I might like to read minds, I can't.
5. Cancellation of good TV shows. Firefly, Jake 2.0, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, possibly Arrested Development ... fuck you, television networks.
6. The fact that there's not more apocalyptic fiction. ARGH. Need more mass extinction, damn it.
7. My grandmother feeling like she has the right to behave like a spoiled kid deserving of our attention when she does things like not call me or my brother on our birthdays and skip out on my parents's 25th wedding anniversary party. Yeah, try again.
