1)I bought a dvd, and I put it in the dvd player. Great, except that one of those incredibly annoying and endless piracy ads ('you wouldn't steal a handbag, you wouldn't steal a television, you wouldn't steal a movie. Download films is AGAINST THE LAW'), followed by an equally annoying warning (against attempting to copy the dvd) came onto the screen, and it's impossible to skip them! Granted, it doesn't happen with all dvds (or even most), but I still hate it. I bought the dvd, and I don't want to watch those darn piracy warnings every time I watch the dvd. I hate to sound like an 80 year-old grand father ('back in my day, I walked to school for 2 hours every day even when it was snowing') but, say what you want about VHS, but at least with VHS, you can fast-forward to the movie.
Anyway, I have another peeve about dvds, and it's in relation to certain' dvds which, when I click onto a category (such as special features, or audio) it take forever to load, as the producers want to impress you with how fancy the menu looks. The problem is that the fancier it is, it often takes more time to load. An example is Die Hard 2, which, whilst the menu looks great, it takes impossible to load which page (is that the right word?) I want to go onto.
2)Today I was on the train to Uni. It's a 20 minute trip, and I was using the time to read some notes. A couple of guys came into the train, one started a conversation with someone else, and the other sat down in front of me. I looked over and I saw that he had a nametag on and it mentioned that he was a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. I was a little curious, however I continued reading. This is where my peeve kicks in. He noticed that I looked, and immediately started a conversation with me. It became quickly obvious that his role was to convert other people, and so he asked about my religious beliefs, I mentioned that I was Jewish and he asked me some questions; yet he overlooked the fact that I was obviously reading notes. I do have an interest in religion and religious discussions, but if I see someone reading a book or reading what is obviously Uni work or really doing anything else that indicates they don't actually want a conversation, I'm not going to engage them in a discussion. I take pride in being polite, but there's a point where you have to say 'enough is enough!' 'I enquired about your nametag out of politeness, but please, let me get back to getting ready for my lecture!'
Oh, and at the end of it, he gave me a panthlet even though I had mentioned that I had no interest in converting. The truly annoying thing is that this wasn't the first time, and it probably won't be the last.

Here's a peeve inspired by an experience of about an hour ago: people who stay at the ATM forever. Cripes, I know these machines allow you to do time-consuming things like make deposits, but do you have to check and re-check your balance, fish around for your card, put it carefully back in your wallet, put away your cash and your receipt, etc., etc., all while people are waiting behind you? My complaint goes double when it's a drive-up ATM.
And on that subject: banks that provide only one ATM--especially only a drive-up ATM--so you have to wait on the sufferance of the people ahead of you.
And still on that subject: people who say "ATM machine." What you're saying is "automated teller machine machine." It doesn't make sense!

8-) I had a similar experience the other day when a lady was reorganizing her handbag in extent by staying in front of the ATM with a long queue behind her...
But it was not, that she was searching for her card, it was after she picked up the cash and her card...

Also, on ATMS, what about if your bank only has ATMs in specific places, and some of those ATMs only give out a $50 note (rather than a $20)? It can be quite annoying.

Moonie, I think you should start a blog, "Moonie's Rant of the Day". You are such a good writer, people would check in to see what's peeving you today. Especially since we all can relate so much.
The same thing happened to me today with the door! I held it open for an older man that was in a much better angle to hold it open for me, and he slid through without a thanks, a nod, or a smile, let alone reciprocating as so many lovely and polite guys do. Jerk.
And sorry if that guy at your service station was American..kinda sounds like he was. That's my peeve, ill mannered tourists representing the US and making people hate us. Stay home!
Oh wait one more....lazy people who leave shopping carts in parking spaces!!! Grrr. Really? How hard is it to put it back in the MANY corrals conveniently located all over parking lots?? It's especially infuriating when the damn thing rolls into the car next to it, leaving a nice gash.
Not done yet...this is cathartic! I'm also with Moonie on the new AJB..I've had lots of problems with it lately, I still just can't get used to it. Does anyone else see these perforated lines right across the middle of people's posts? I also miss a lot of the old features that don't seem like they are returning.

I post as peeves happen. I can't stand people who are nice enough to stop so you can back out of your parking space. But, the second you start to back out, they start to creep toward you. WTF? You stopped to let me back out, then decide to go? Make up your mind. You might want my parking spot, but if someone else jumps in ahead of you I'm sure there's another parking spot in the huge parking lot.
Also, pedestrians. Yes you have the right of way in crosswalks when your light is green (and at stop signs). But it makes me mad when I see people cross in the middle of the street without any regard to traffic. It pisses me off more when people cross in the middle of the street holding a small child. Way to teach your kid a lesson. Traffic isn't always going to stop for you, lets hope you and your kid don't have to learn this the hard way.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
2. Plenty of empty stalls to choose from, he picks the one right next to yours. It could have been Senator Larry Craig for all I know.
3. The group who stand around and hold a conversation in and around the toilets. WTF is that all about!?
4. All I want to do is take a quick pee, and somebody's in there gutting a deer. I walk into the restroom and immediately feel like vomiting my guts out!

You get that too huh? I've been coming across this more and more: people just blindly (and lazily) walking across the street, looking straight ahead or down at the ground, without any interest whatsoever in their surroundings, almost daring you to hit them.
My other pet peeve for the day is people who don't abide by the dividing lines in parking lots and just park their cars willy nilly without any regard for anyone else. A few days ago I went to have some lunch with my brother at a restaurant we frequent and some a**hole literally took 4 spots, and it wasn't even a big car or SUV, just a little Honda Civic strategically placed right in the middle of 4 adjacent parking spaces. He deserved a good keying...not that I'd ever do something like that.
i was parked in a car park last night, waiting for me missus, and i'd parked just about smack on central inside a parking bay. there was a slot empty next to me, and then a van parked up, but the van's wheels were on the line.
anyways, this old bag comes in, in her focus convertable and takes 5 attempts to get in the slot, as its a bit tight due to the van's bad parking.
so because the weather's nice, i've got the window down, and this old hag gets out, and says "its a good job i'm slim" "yeah, its a bit tight aint it?" i replied, to which she gobs off "well its like what i say to my husband when he says i can't park properly, i say its not my bad parking, its the ARSEHOLE whos parked next to me"
now i'm not sure if she intended on making out i'm an arsehole, or whether she was meaning the person who'd parked the van, but i got very close to telling the old bitch to feck off.
she shuffled off in a quick manner anyways, but i mean, ffs, you cheeky old cow.
Right now? Being Scottish. Being halted at lunchtime while a police motorcade of 6 bikes, 4 cars and a van sped past carrying a convicted mass murderer, who showed no compassion or remorse, to his freedom.
Wonder what Ronnie Biggs thinks about it? All he did in comparison was rob a mail train.
"Scots are defined by their humanity" says Mr MacAskill. Well, this one would have let him die in his prison cell 11 miles from where I type.

Thank you for that post, I wanted to mention how annoyed I was by that news, but was worried I would start a big political fight. When I saw they released him for compassionate reasons I couldn't believe it. Using the word compassion in the same breath with a terrorists name seems completly wrong.

Damn, Alex, that's the biggest laugh I've had in ages! Yeah, I know exactly what you mean!
Anyway, here's one inspired by last night at the cheap showing of Terminator: Salvation: kids who text during a movie. Hey, morons, you might as well bring a floodlight into the auditorium! And why pay money--even if it is only $1.50--to text, when you can do it at home for free and without the distraction of the movie? And what's so important that you have to disturb everyone around you to write? "im @ the movie lol," "asian lookin chick iz hot lol," etc., etc. Yeah, the great age of communications, making us dumber--and more inconsiderate--by the minute!

Not to fan flames, but I agree...what's the point of having a 'life' sentence, when it's void if it turns out your going to die in prison? Isn't that the point?
Do you mean someone who literally whistles? Or is this an expression I haven't heard before? :v )

What I find appalling too is the welcome he received after landing in Libya. Cheering crowds holding flags and banners for a murderer of what...almost 300 innocent people? Unbelievable.

Pennies make no sense. Round up, round down, it's not that hard. Why do I have to wait behind someone while they try to find three cents to give to the cashier? And why doesn't the cashier just tell the person to forget about the pennies. X-( X-( X-(
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
... - Those who cruise through a door held open for them, or flashed to come forward past an obstruction on their side of the road while you wait, only to stare right past you as if you were invisible. Sometimes, just sometimes, I'm quick enough to let that door go or move the car forward in time to remind them it's not being held open by magic.
My reaction to the ignorant sods that walk through doors without acknowledging me is to say "Pardon?" - their response is usually something along the lines of "I didn't say anything" leaving themselves wide open (especially if there are others about) to my replying "Oh, I thought I heard you say something like thank you".

Another pet pevee of mine is animal owners. I love animals as much as the next person, but please leave your animals at home when you go shopping. Animals don't belong in grocery stores, malls, movie theaters, restaurants etc....... So please, next time you go out leave FoFo and FiFi at home. Thank you!
*Disclaimer. Service animals are the exception to this rule. Why? Because service animals are better behaved than some humans.

Pennies make no sense. Round up, round down, it's not that hard. (
plus, pennies are disgusting little things. they make me cringe every time I see them.
1) when someone assumes that I'm a freshmen, just 'cause I'm wandering aimlessly around my Uni. No, I don't want to go to FRESHMEN NIGHT. NO, I DO NOT NEED DIRECTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY CENTER. ps. I'm probably older than you...please go away.
The fact that they continue to spout things I already know even AFTER I've told them my year irks me even more.
AUGH.
2) Boys who wear their pants lower than their butt. who do you think you're impressing? you WADDLE for eff's sake. Waddling is not sexy, I'm sorry.
Teenaged vampires. As if being subjected to the whole Twilight fad wasn't bad enough, now I also have to suffer thru ads for all these sappy vampire relationship shows: True Blood, Vampire Diaries, etc., etc., etc. As a fan of the genre it pisses me off no end to see it dragged down to the level of a CW teen angst high school melodrama. Whatever happened to the good old days of Christopher Lee, old gothic castles, bloodshot eyes, flowing red capes, well-endowed helpless damsels baring their necks, and a good old-fashioned staking thru the heart?

Amen to that! I want my vampires mythic, feral, and monstrous. Give me blood drinking fiends in gothic atmospheres not misunderstood teenagers raving at the club.
The other day my co-worker was telling me his wife has every single book from the Twilight series. It was all I could do to be polite. I hate Twilight.
1) I now work in Jessops where I live and one thing that really gets me is when customers come in to have films developed and when I ask if they would like the next-day service they reply, "Does that mean tomorrow?".
2) Customers who think that just because they come in a few times a month that they own the place and expect me to know exactly what they want everytime they come in, and then have the nerve to get pi*sy with me because I ask how I can help.
3) People in nightclub bathrooms trying to sell me soap and sprays of disgusting aftershave.
4) People who stand in pub/nightclub toilets pretending to use the condom machine in some vein (and quite weird) attempt to impress people, or people who do actually buy them but make a big song and dance about it, as in pretend to be really impatient as if they have queues of women waiting for them.
5) People who have one too many drinks than they can handle and then give me cheek outside in the smoking area thus leading to them following me back inside giving me more cheek then resulting in him trying to swing for my younger brother Aaron, who dodges the attack then hits him square in the jaw sending him flying over, then the really big headed bouncer who likes to throw his weight around telling us to leave.

PIN's and Passwords - At work more and more of our programs are web based and as such they all have to have a unique PIN and pasword to get in. I just counted on my little password cheat sheet and I have 11 different programs that require a PIN and password before gaining entry. No way anyone can remember all of them, especially since some require a new password every month and some require one letter to be captilized with at least one number and one symbol. The IT folks sends us bulletins all the time telling us not to write down our PIN and passwords, which is pretty funny since I don't have a computer data base in my head and could never remember even half of them. Sometimes I think all this technology is not a benefit.

Yet another Pevee. Motorcycles and the loud pipes. Why do you need to put pipes on your motorcycle to make it loud? I swear sometimes I can hear motorcycles coming from a half mile away. I'm glad San Francisco is cracking down on the loud motorcycles. There's no need for that kind of noise.
