    Pet peeves, it's those little things that generally don't bother most people but you just can't stand it. And when you think about it, most of them are pretty funny to everyone but the peeved individual. So what are your pet peeves?

    I'll start with a few of mine:

    People who drive too close to my rear bumper

    People who knew about random book/movie/band before it was cool

    Skips in cds

    Shirts with sayings on them

    Reality television

    Bumper stickers

    Basically all of those that I bolded, I honestly can't think of any original ones though. None of these really make me mad, just kinda annoy me.

    I would say all of those except the CD thing, I haven't listened to music off a disc in probably 10 years.

    The biggest one for me would have to be people who purposely get into the wrong lane right before that merges then drive really fast up to the point where it merges to get in ahead of everyone who actually went into the right line. I have to deal with this every freaking day on my way to work.

    [​IMG]

    Another one would be the endless cycle of film remakes and reboots going on right now or any time traditional special effects are replaced with CGI in a reboot or later in the same series. Does the world really need a new Planet of the Apes, Total Recall or Footloose? I would say no, those movies are fine the way they are and don't need to be messed with.

    Yes.

    In any case, if you want a couple of quick laughs, change the channel to the GOP "debates" at night.

    People who are obsessed with celebrity culture/get starstruck.

    Actors who play soldiers but don't salute correctly.

    Necessary IAP on paid games.

    Windows Vista not being capable of playing old games.

    I'll make it apple related otherwise I'd list way to many

    Not being able to lock versions of apps and preventing them updating .

    Paid for full games suddenly updating and turning IAP crazy.

    On the same subject I don't mind when IAP is something worthwhile like real expansions (GOF2, Sentinel 3 as examples I've happily bought myself) but I find the idea of being charged to change a number in a game offensive.

    Itunes and it's many bugs

    The dodgy battery indicator that claims I'm at 20% way to often

    I'll stop there.

    That's OK, I'm not a huge fan of relig ether. It's that weird green stuff people sometimes put on sandwiches, right?

    Wait, I might be thinking of relish..

    People who litter because they think it makes them look cool. Especially when there's a bloody bin right next to them!

    People who constantly swear unnecessarily.

    Ahhh, I'll think of more...
