    "Oh BG, you went to IHOP today?! Well, I used to work at IHOP sooooooo...." and they just trail off with the word sooooo...Leaving you to fill in the blanks with all the stuff they should have said but chose not to for whatever reason. For example:
    So I hate that place now.
    So I'm sick of their food.
    So I'm totally hooked on it.
    So I'm not even close to being jealous.
    So I think I'll go puke now.
    So I hate all acronyms now.

    I get annoyed when people continually over-use these phrases:

    1) "All I'm saying is..."

    2) "The long and short of it is..."

    3) "So, with that being said..."

    4) "You know what I'm saying?"

    I cant stand it when people tell you they will do something and give you a time they will do it, and dont do it. That happens to me all the time and I do shortly hate the people until they finally do it.



    Slow people on the road

    When people leave, they say " Have a good one" Have a good what? What if I go and die in a wreck, does that mean they just said ' Have a good wreck"?

    And when people wake me up by turning on the light to look for something in my room.

    Thats all :bow:

    People who say ignorant instead of rude.

    People who use the word minute for a long span of time.

    People who try and figure out what they want from the vending machine AFTER putting their money in, typically causing a large line of agitated people.

    -over-use of "ya know" in conversation (similar to Vypyrs post..)
    -people in the grocery store cutting you off with their shopping carts/pretending not to see you/YAMMERING on cell phones instead of paying attention
    -people who allow their cats to free-roam in busy areas. I see so many dead kitties.. :(

    This is because most people are "ignorant" to the true meaning of "ignorant".

    A "few"????:D You better get out the dictionary.:D:D

    #1. They're trying to tell you that you're boring.:D Or they're cheating on you...you pick.:D

    #6. BG loves these people, they're so easy to have fun with.:D

    #7. So this leaves out BG then, because he's full of "solutions"...all to his benefit of course.:D

    #8. People should be honored when Big Gunns does it.

    #17. It's just one of the things that BG has to deal with, but he understands.:D

    #21. Big Gunns doesn't do this anymore. Now he wear clothes that are way too tight.:D:D

    #23. BG is adhdddhdhhd...leave him alone.:taz::taz:

    #24. BG doesn't know any other way.:banana::banana:


    The last one with no number. Big Gunns 100% agrees. If you did BG wrong once, he's NEVER gonna completely trust you EVER again.:stab::stab::stab:

    Re: List your pet peeves.
    I'm going to list another that has had me VERY HOT for the past few days and might become a thread in itself. Outsourcing all our freaking jobs to India!!! I'm getting very sick of corporations' obsession with the bottom line getting to the point where they are outsourcing all non-management and non-client facing jobs overseas. That takes out a good chunk of our middle class and is not sustainable. Like I said, contemplating a thread on this alone. Just thinking about it with what our country is currently going through really gets me pissed off.

    Another pet peeve is people letting their dogs out in the morning and they bark nonstop for several hours. I work a rotating schedule and have to sleep during the day and all i hear is YAP! YAP! YAP! from the rat sized dogs down the street. I love all animals so i wont hurt them but the owners better watch their backs.:cool:

    I hate when I go into a store with my phone then go up to the clerk and tell my friend I'll be back in a second, and they keep talking while I'm checking out, as if I still have my phone near my face or plan on responding.

    as a chashier, when someone i ring up is on their cell phone chatting away and they dont pay attention to me and they talk and talk and slow my line down instead of hanging up or something. or when they're about to pay and say "i forgot my wallet/card in the car" argh!! or they cant find their money or card and take forever and slow down my line.

    I used to work at a gas station, I know the feeling. Hence always putting my phone down. Mind that I also engage the cashier in stimulating conversation, and tend to make them smile, honestly, before I go.

    BG has a new one. When a customer comes up to your table at a reptile show and some leeetle fellah with an internet reality show comes up...taps your million dollar customer on the shoulder.... and steers him back to his table to buy a snake from him instead.:rage::rage:

    Yeah...that leeetle fellah.:D:D

    ps. He was warned Big Gunns was gonna post this.:D:D He was nice enough to bring someone else back to buy something cheap that he didn't have though. BG decided to let him live.:D

    When someone states, or asks, something to do with gender when it should be sex.

    I.e. References to a snake's gender. It is impossible for a snake to have a gender...

    Gender is a social construct. One that is learned over time. Whereas your sex is what you are born with.

    Re: List your pet peeves.
    There are a lot of things that get on my nerves. A lot of them fall under one heading though:

    INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE

    If you do anything without taking into account how your actions may affect someone else, you're inconsiderate. Primarily this involves drivers, cell phones and smokers for me, but there are many others. Old people driving does fit into this category. If your mind is moving as slow as your body, you need to get your groceries delivered or have a family member that will take you.

    This is an awesome statement, but can't truely be appreciated unless the viewer is the same way. :rofl:

    ADD/ADHD diagnosises are somewhat a pet peeve. Chances are the patient is just interested in something different than the diagnoser (not a real word, but you get the point). This stems from a society who believes everyone should be the same and have the same interests.
