New pet peeve...

Anyone on Facebook who insists on using all caps when referring to god. It just looks extra pushy.

"Sending prayers for you. GOD loves you and HIS grace will wash over you, oh praise HIM"

*shudder*

Pretend they're initials. George Oscar Davidson loves you and Harry Isaac Salters' grace will wash over you, oh praise Hannah Irene Masterson.
 
Unless it's YHWH, title caps is the only gramatically correct version. Anything else is probably just someone being a twat. And they deserve a smack upside the head at a minimum.

You know, I've never really given a shit what people post on their own page about God (or god or GOD or "god") with one exception.

A few years ago someone posted a response to ME on MY page about how I could say something negative about god or religion. So I went on HIS page and pasted the EXACT SAME WORDS to a pro-god post he made asking why he would post such a thing. He railed at me, then blocked me and defriended me.

Still gives me a chuckle.

Gnaaarrraghhaaaaagh. Right now everything is a pet peeve. I hate everything. PMS is very real for me. I'm good at internalizing all this aggravation (or finding outlets so I don't ruin anyone's day), but I hate that right before my period starts, everyone turns into a monster that lays obnoxiousness eggs that hatch all over my day. There are peeping peeves everywhere. I want to throw one of the more bratty pre-k kids across the soccer field.
 
When you ask to try something I'm making and I scrape some onto a spoon and hand it out to you, TAKE THE FUCKING SPOON AND PUT IT IN YOUR OWN MOUTH, do not grab my hand holding the spoon and physically force me to spoon feed you, it's just gaaaaaah this is so creepy why are you doing this

Every time this salesperson introduces somebody to me she says ".. he's the engineer around here. He makes everything work!"

I'M NOT AN ENGINEER.
I DON'T HAVE A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING.
I DON'T MESS WITH THE TRANSMITTER OR THE WIRING OR THAT STUFF.
I WILL NEVER CLIMB THE TOWER FOR ANY REASON.
I AM I.T.
INFORMATION. TECHNOLOGY.
I FIX THE COMPUTERS.
I ADMINISTRATE THE NETWORK.
THAT IS NOT ENGINEERING.
THE ACTUAL ENGINEER WHO WORKS HERE DIES A LITTLE INSIDE EVERY TIME YOU DO THAT.
 
Being the last person at the table to get food, and resisting every urge to ask if I can have one of their fries because I know that I'm getting food but I'm HUNGRY!

If it makes you feel any better, actual engineers die a little inside everyday anyway.
 
Due to winter and all the bad weather we have been getting down here, my major pet peeve is people that drive in flat/low light conditions with out their headlights on. Sure you can see "OK" with your lights off, but nobody can see you. I feel like if they strike another car they should be brought up on attempted murder charges. There have been so many times lately that I have started to pull out because I could not see the car, but I could see the motion...(I hope that makes sense.)

Really, my peeve is just people who don't realize that headlights are at least as much so others can see you as you can see out.
 
On electronic devices, especially computer, when people write "(sp?)" or "(not sure of the spelling...) or something like that. You're on the internet, right now, you could look it up, n'est-ce pas?
 
My son is skinny as all heck, and I get sick of my mom asking me if I'm feeding him.

"No mom, I'm starving him because I think he looks better as a skeleton."

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
 
I think all grandparents ask that, I am a hefty 220 lbs at the moment on a 5'10 frame. My grandparents still try to force feed me.

I was skinny all my life (I'm still thin), and constantly got asked if I ate enough, or if I was hungry, or asked why I don't eat more. "I can count your ribs through your shirt!" No, you can't, and I eat until I am not hungry, thank you, shut up, no, I know it's been five minutes but I still don't want a sandwich, no I'm good, it's not that I wanted something else instead, though that muffin looks great, I just don't want to eat and OH MY GOD NO I DON'T WANT PASTA, I DON'T WANT TO EAT, I AM NOT HUNGRY

...Uhm

Where was I?
 
my grandfather made a pasta hot dish one night I asked him if I could have a small plate of it, he gave me a heaping 12 inch dinner plate. Thanks gramps, this is why I am fat. :3
 
Gah, Facebook beatniks, "Chemical" is not a synonym for "Poison". NOTHING is "chemical free", because water IS A CHEMICAL.
