Pet peeves

The place to talk about anything just generally furry. If you have a furry-related thread that doesn't fit anywhere else, put it here! Just keep it clean.

Sorry, didn't mean to be passive-aggressive about it, but somebody had to point it out.

When a Funny-Money guy walks up to me on the streets, and I'm short on R200 notes; when my wallet is too small; when my gold cutlery bends, or when I go to a fuel station to fill up my G6, and the price of jet fuel has went up. #PetPeeves#YoungMoneyCashMoneyHollaDollaBiollinare

Hehe, imagine. :P

Impolite people, I can't stand bad manners, it must be because I am British. I seem to encounter them on a daily basis. Especially when they can't thank you for providing them with a favour. I don't expect praise but a thank you would be nice.

People that like to show that they can't sing, when they think they can. I can't, but I don't go screeching around proving it.

People who claim that they are professional artists, but make anything but that. Lack of humility.

I meant people who are like "Hey guys! I am a professional music producer, and here is all my stuff that you should spend tons of money on!".

And then it turns out their music is pretty bad, to be frank.

It seems to happen a lot with music, more-so than drawn-art. But you see it there too.

When the pic people use as their desktop background has black bars on the side,
More so if the black bar goes through the desktop icons

That bothers me too!

It reminded me of one of my own pet peeves. When people show me photos or videos on a tablet or phone but don't put in landscape mode. That's just wasting screen space and making what you're trying to show even smaller.

Bringing up an old thread, I dun care. As a photography enthusiast, it annoys the #$@* out of me when people consider any photo taken of oneself a 'selfie'. Seriously, there's a definition on Google and Wikipedia, use the word correctly. And for those who think I take too many 'selfies' (self portraits), guess what, it's not because I'm obsessed with myself, but because it actually helps for future portrait shoots, where I can learn which poses look good, and which don't.

If anyone's still confused, selfie = phone camera/webcam
Self portrait = DSLR, tripod, controlled lighting.

Get it right!! *rant over*

Um... are you sure it isn't, selfie = photograph of yourself taken by yourself. It's not a selfie if someone else uses a phone to take a picture of me, that's just a normal photo. And it's still a selfie even if the device I'm using is a proper camera.

You can argue that. But, and I quote from Wikipedia "Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer." So you could argue that selfie is a slang term for self portrait, but I distinguish between the two. Just me being me

The point is that you're trying to distance yourself from "them" in a sense. Those who indiscriminately take photos of themselves so that they can get attention and admiration from their extensive online social gathering. You want to take the photos to improve your capabilities as a professional artist and photographer.

As for my personal pet peeve, I despise those who look down on others. Who believe they're better simply because of their religious orientation, social status or some arbitrary reason.

Thank you ManicWuff, that's exactly what I was trying to say :) and regarding your pet peeve, those people are the worst. There's no other word to describe them

One thing that's really starting to annoy me: Every single night, my sis takes a pic of her food for her boyfriend. I understand if it's something presentable, like the time we made sushi, but every single night? Like "Look at my two minute noodles"... It's really starting to get to me...

Being distracted from something I'm intensely concentrating on. Students do this on a daily basis.

Students who pitch up for class in the last 30 minutes of a 2 hour lecture. People who don't know how time works and don't care about your planning. When I walk into someone's house and it's either filthy or overcrowded with junk. People who treats dogs as objects. When I'm sitting patiently in traffic and a fucker(Taxi) speeds passed me in the yellow lane. People who skip red lights, stop streets or have a general disregard for road rules. WHATSAPP. People who want to chat at 11pm. Facebook. Superstitious people who let their paranoia for the superstition run their life. People who believe in star signs. High School kids who envy your freedom so much they can't stop staring at your awesome beard or wavy hair.

When someone tells me I'm ''Misluk" I will lose it. When I get interrupted while studying. When someone tries to take over my personal space.

People who argue about irrelevant things that won't change anything important whatsoever. When people try to make their huge dilemmas my problem. When someone makes a mountain out of a mole hill. When students think it's the end of the world if they fail a mid semester test and end up leaving the university because they have no inhibitions to try and further educate themselves. Students who are at university because of a bursary which they didn't even earn and they waste that bursary by binge drinking right through the exams. Trying to study with kids in the house. Being held from studying with menial tasks that needs to be done the moment I need to study. YOLO SWAG type hip-hop Dr Dre and Jay Z wannabees blasting the Hip-Hop/Rap combination music from their pathetic little stock standard Polo vivo's wearing shirts that is longer than they are with their pants nearly touching the ground wearing Ray Ban's they bought next to the road.

I'm done... I have allot of pet peeves mainly because I rather dislike humanity and the idiots involved.

You are Yote, you have an affinity for small details.

The fact that you're an accountant has nothing to do with it.

(Pet Peeve) people who use stereotypes to attempt to justify their reasoning.

(e.g. I am an engineer I categorize all my issues, I am a lawyer - therefore I am a cynic, I am a metalhead - I am a deadbeat.)

Your past may influence what you are now but what you are studying towards or your current line of work only has so much to say for you. This may sound nitpicky, but this is the reason we don't get along. We just blanket statement everything.

Accept you for being you. Not some cursory thing you're doing.

Not upset about you, just that it irks me a little.

I see your point but please note that I take pride in what I study, I like to use myself in context to that as much as I can.
I'm not hiding from myself by using blanket statements I just take pride in what I do. Saying that I am an accountant just makes me more happy.
Also I joke allot in that sense because of the stupid stereotype that people have formed about the boring old bean counter accountant.
I respect your pet peeve :D
