u2roolz Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 So, if you're not hitting on her, you're just making small talk? Isn't small-talk a passive-aggressive way of flirting? Yeah. Sure why not? People talk. It is kind of flirting in a way if it's done in that certain way. Yeah if you take into account proximity, vocal inflection, eye contact, context, and body language. My point is that you can easily make small talk by having it come across as small talk and not flirting. Some people will get this and some people will still think that you're hitting on them.

jff Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Not pick a fight, but one of my biggies is having people without kids give me advice on how to raise mine. I can see how that would be a pet peeve. But having a pet peeve is not the same as giving advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 People not washing their hands after using the restroom. Since I'm a guy I can speak from visual experience. I don't want to be shaking your hands if you had them on your penis and you didn't even stop to use soap and water for under a minute. Not to mention where those hands will be for the rest of the night: a bag of chips, holding a glass, touching someone, pushing buttons on a jukebox, giving someone a wet willy (pun intended). Guys taking a dump and not washing your hands is in another level of miscreants in my book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 People who can't/won't deal with the recycling/compost/landfill system. Yes, there are four bins, and OK, maybe that's a bit overwhelming the first time you approach them. But no, it's really not all that hard to figure out what goes in which bin. Especially when there are illustrated signs posted directly over the bins, explaining exactly how it works. If you've got something questionable, whatever. But when there's a picture of a paper coffee cup being placed in the compost bin directly at eye level as you approach the bins, why would a person throw that exact item into the recycling? WHY???

Guest Speed Racer Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 People who can't/won't deal with the recycling/compost/landfill system. The other tenants in my building are like this. They stack recycling (so much so that we had a falcon rummaging though our recylcing last summer. A bird-of-mutherfucking-prey!) but don't sort it. So IF they take it to the curb (rather, both times they took it to the curb) it isn't picked up. I keep my bin locked in a storage unit so they can't stuff it with unsorted recycling, and I set it about one foot away from everyone else's at the curb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxiebean Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 People not washing their hands after using the restroom.I would also add people who talk on cell phones while in a public restroom. Makes me want to go right up next to them while they're on the phone and make loud rude bathroom noises. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me want to go right up next to them while they're on the phone and make loud rude bathroom noises. Yes! And people who talk on cell phones while they're running any type of errand. The worst are people in line to buy something and they keep chatting away and asking their friend on the phone "what should I get?" Coming in a close 2nd are people who try and use their cell phones on the subway. What fucking type of phone do you think you actually have? You're not MacGyver!

Moss Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Pretty much anything surrounding the use of cell phones is annoying to me. People chatting on them while paying for groceries at the store, people swerving all over the road while chatting obliviously, people texting while you are sitting there at a restaurant with them, those little hands free ear things...

u2roolz Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 How about friends of yours that have a hard time trying to even listen to or watch something that you really recommend? It's almost like they're acting childish because they want to have the feeling that they "discovered" it before you, so they won't watch it to spite you. A friend of mine LOVED Seinfeld and he would never watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. He finally started watching out of the blue a few months ago and now he loves it.

u2roolz Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Papa Gino's. I haven't seen one of those in decades. They are all over MA & NH. Honestly I'm not sitting here in the 80s. I wish that I was though. Things could have been different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
