Pet peeves, let's hear them...
Last night I went to see Man of Steel, might post a review of it later. Anyway we were barely in time to the theatre and had to sit close to the front but I was just glad we got in. We sat down while the trailers were playing and immediately I noticed that the row behind me was filled with yappy teens. So long as it's just during the trailers I'll leave it be, I said to myself. But no, as soon as the movie started I hear them yapping away. The film starts with a scene of a women giving birth, in pain. And I hear some guy snicker "really they have one of those scenes" with some other guys next to him laugh. So completely out of character, I turn around and say in a pissed off tone "if you guys don't shut up I'm going to go and get you kicked out of the theatre". That shut them up for most of the rest of the film. It's not like me to say that kind of thing but talking in a theatre is one of my pet peeves.
Would you have said something similar?
I surprised myself at saying this, felt a bit guilty almost. Think I was too harsh?
What are your pet peeves.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the locust primitive said that, to a couple of burly snickering guys behind him.
Sure, sure.

1. That line that dumb-dumbs like to yell out of car windows.
"Get A Job"!
I can't stand to hear it.
It was yelled at me so many times...
Now when I hear it, I just can't stand it!

2. You mean yelled at pan handlers and street people?...
Yes I can't stand that either. I want to punch those shit heads in the face.

7. I got to hear it a lot.
When I was on the streets, not a day went by without at least 1 person saying it.
Some days I heard it 4 to 5 times.
Now, when I hear it being yelled at someone, my blood boils.

4. The idiots going 30 mph who automatically drift to the left hand passing lane.
Really guys, that lane is to be used to pass slow pokes like you.
Talking in the theatre, too.

9. movie theaters
good luck getting them thrown out. I was threatened a few years ago when I didn't want to give up my seat to latecomers. There were no ushers. I never went back to that movie theater and I'm happy to report they went out of business not long afterward.
pet peeve: televisions in doctors' waiting rooms and other public places, always with idiots like Kathy Lee on them.

10. Too many headlights....
Really, people? Does your ****ing penismobile, er......truck really need to look like the spaceship from Close Encounters?
<<<pet peeve is people who don't mind their manners.

Don't remember anybody ever yelling "get a job" at me. I suppose that's because of personal grooming and such.

What are your pet peeves.
This DUmmie couldn't really think up a bouncy, but it really wanted to show the other DUmmies that it was sophisticated by spelling 'theater' as 'theatre'. It probably had Grey Poupon on its air-popped, organically grown maize while it was at the theatre.

My pet peeve is liberals.

So now wait just a minute.
This locust DUmmy had a cyst as big as a cantaloupe cut out of his ass yesterday, then last night went and sat through a two-and-a-half-hour movie?
I thought the DUmp Terms Of Service required absolute honesty.

One of franksolich’s pet peeves happened last night, Saturday night into Sunday morning.
There’d been a party here, fourteen other people, seven of one and seven of the other. I don’t drink, and being deaf, I’m not fond of partying, but this place way out here is a great place to party, and as other people do me favors, I don’t mind allowing them to party here.
But it lasted s-o-o-o-o long that I finally went to bed right after midnight, when there were still seven out on the back porch, three guys and four chicks. I knew the guys and two of the women, and figured they’d be the last ones to leave.
About 2:00 a.m., I had to get up and empty the bladder. Since the house and back porch were now dark, I figured everybody’s gone, and after a quick trip to the bathroom, I decided to step out on the back porch to see if any mess had been left, for me to clean up in the morning, and to have a cigarette.
There was no mess; these people are always very good about cleaning up after themselves.
So I stood out there in the darkness, smoking and looking towards the river (no campers this weekend). It was a warm night; overcast, but temperatures in the mid-60s and very humid, making it seem hotter than that.
Suddenly the light on the back porch flicked on.
Oh damn, I thought.
It’s stupid to try to run and hide, because what’s been seen can’t be unseen. One just silently goes, “Oh, fu---,†and nonchalantly continues on as if nothing’s out of the ordinary.
Fortunately I’m no Fat Che, with a big belly sticking out and sagging down as if an apron, or no LynneSin primitive, with more water inside of me than’s in Chesapeake Bay. My avatar’s me, so one can see I’m just average, not grotesque.
So while I may startle in my night-time non-attire, having no bloat or sagging, I don’t disgust (at least that’s what I’ve been assured). And no ancient person, respectable woman, or child has ever seen me this way, because those sorts of people are in bed at home, not running around in the middle of the night.
It was the two chicks I didn’t know, standing at the door from the kitchen to the back porch. I’d thought them coarser than the normal run of womanhood in this area, and felt relieved they probably weren’t seeing anything they hadn’t already seen hundreds of times before.
But still, seeing me as I was, they might think I had intentions I most certainly didn’t have.
They’d left, but then came back because one of them had left her purse here.
It takes nerves of steel to deal with a stranger, in this case two of them, when one‘s utterly exposed. Aplomb and nonchalance also helps. Too, eye-contact that’s so strong, so intense, that sometimes I can even get away without the stranger realizing I’ve got no clothes on.
I needn’t have worried; both of them were sordidly drunk, and after finding the missing purse, while they saw me standing there and thanked me, they left never having noticed at all.

A caller to a local radio show said the movie was awesome, and he said it hasn't been getting the best reviews, he concluded the reviews are because of the movie being patriotic with religious overtones hence the liberal critics not liking the movie.

I can't stand to hear it.
It was yelled at me so many times...
This probably happened right before the get-a-job primitive decided it was going to walk from Springfield, MO to Washington state. So I'm guessing this happened in Springfield.
What I can't figure out is that the get-a-job primitive was crowing to the other primitives how blue and progressive Springfield was at the time. I wonder how she reconciles the two apparently conflicting statements.

Ahh, Grasshopper, one must apply franksolich's First Rule Of The DUmp:
"DUmmies lie. All the time, DUmmies lie."
Apply that, and things fall into place.

I went back to this campfire to see if the primitives had added anything new; their pet peeves seem rather boring, they mentioning only driving nuisances, which I'm omitting here.

I hate that shit
Tom Kitten (5,826 posts) Sat Jun 15, 2013, 09:28 PM
19. Patronizing and/or condescending people who think they know it all but are actually incompetent
case in point, without going into detail, my former newly assigned agents at my former car insurance agency, State Farm...

33. People who fail to reciprocate.
That thing {redacted name of person} enjoyed, isn't much fun for me and now my jaw aches...but return the favor?
"I don't do that." she says.
"I hope we can do this again soon." she says later.
"hmmm" I say as I'm walking away and deleting her from my phone.
<<<waiting for the subway cat to reciprocate for all the dollars I've been taxed to support her indolent being.

40. People who talk on the phone in public.
With the exception of emergencies, I can't think of anything that I need to say to someone that is so important that it can't wait until I get to a private place.

41. Music being played, everywhere you go.
In stores.
In restaurants.
Everywhere.
I do not need or want to hear music every last place I go. When I want to listen to music, I like to choose it, not have someone else's choice forced into MY EARS. I consider it to be a form of assault.
And my current biggest object of hate... the ****ing TV screens on top of the gas pumps at the Sunoco.
Jesus I just want the world to SHUT THE **** UP already. What is wrong with a little peace and quiet?
^^^imagines that's a problem, but has no experience with it.

45. Stickers on produce.
Especially if the sticker proudly proclaims "organic". Somehow the application of a sticker to organic produce that requires a quart of Goof Off to remove doesn't seem all that organic to me.
And this is the wrong place to advertise. Do they really think I'm going to notice what some frigging sticker the size of my thumbnail says (unless I'm trying to remove it with like a tenacious booger, which makes the advertising counter productive), much less take the time to drive across town to patronize the supplier of the produce when it is indistinguishable from any other produce. Hey, it's a frigging apple. Any grower that uses that kind of advertising is just another blood sucking, worker abusing, landscape defiling corporation anyway.

47. Women who "hover"...
Nothing "pisses me off" more than a woman who hovers over a toilet seat and sprays urine.
Do you think you're going to get some kind of BUTT GERM?
Stop it!
^^^hmmmm; haven't ever thought of that phenomenon, probably because never've seen it.
It must be a femme primitive ritual.
<<<if going into a restroom, and sees a primitive coming out of it, turns around and goes outside to spray in the bushes.

50. Buttholes who let their dogs run off leash everywhere!
Gah! My dog is a little skittish and does not love all other dogs.
Also, when my students dick around on their phones in class. You are not that important. Stay off the ******* phone for 50 minutes!

51. smokers who toss their butts on the ground or out the car window
i smoke but try to be considerate about it. if there's no ashtray, i field strip the butt and stick in my back pocket until i can throw it away.
i know a lot of newer cars don't even have ashtrays, but keep a can in the car for the love of the gods.

You know, right now is happening one of franksolich's pet peeves, a pet peeve in real life and on the internet both, and in this case it's here in the DUmpster, on conservativecave.
People who know the answer to a question, but refuse to answer it.
That really pisses me off.
<<am not the brightest bulb in the room, and don't know everything, so always has questions.

I thought I responded to you "Maybe none of us knows the answer :???:" But that response seems to be lost in the unknown innertubes.
But, on second thought, I guess it'd be pretty hard to do it yourself on your own rear, and too embarrassing to ask a friend to help, so off to the doctor sounds reasonable to me.
