they like it when you hang up on them. i was a telemarketer once, out of desperation. and despite the good pay i walked out because of guilt. it wasn't me. i don't blame the telemarketers, they are usually desperate and it pays good. the company is not desparate tho. and most telemarketers drop out of it because of guilt. and the fact that they don't like it either!
so if you get a telemarketer call, don't play games with them, don't belittle them, don't do anything, but say no thanks and hang up. (unless making them laugh or smile or something
because, (i'm not sure about all places) but where i worked you are forced to make at least 3 'LOOOOONG scripted comebacks' (or your worthless so to speak). the whole while you know its not you, and you don't want to. if the person hangs up and says nothing, it works for everyone. (it would be better if the company didn't exist at all of course)
i was once reprimanded for being too kind to an old cancer patient.
i walked out.

I had to do that, too. We had to hear "no" three times before we could let it go.

And sometimes the computer would lag, and the person would answer the phone before the information popped up. You have to make stuff up before you know who youre talking to.

i told him i would fly to india, rip off his head, and **** down his neck.

Wtf JSD that is disgusting.
I just though of another pet peeve of mine: Dirty socks. I can't stand to wear them. I can just feel their greasy dirtiness on my feet inside my shoe and it makes me wanna shrivel up and barf. ._.

There is something else that bothers me.
People that say "fail" and "win"... Think about what youre ACTUALLY saying. That is how 5 year olds express themselves. It's like "cookie" or "up".
lol, brb, tmi, imho .... these are good, they are just abreviations... but Fail and Win ? Saying "fail" to someone is insulting and basically saying "what you said is lame"
Come one people, you're not 5. Use your words.
And I literally didn't know what OP meant until yesterday
That guy should be fired for that. If someone was yelling at us were are just supposed to hang up and say nothing.
I don't know how he could have even got your number...telemarketers just push a button and it calls a random person. We don't know what the phone numbers even are, it could lead to confidentiality issues.

oh ****, this thread is still going? lol, hmm...
1. brand name cereal that costs more, gives you less, and tastes like crap compared to the store brand, but you were forced to buy it because walmart burnt down.
2. dirty tubers that won't come clean. i hate the idea of eating dirt, but the occasional sour creamey and buttery baked potato is worth it, i think.
3. salsa that says mild, but is actually hot.
4. salsta that says hot, but is actually mild.
5. the fact that they call them "baby carrots", makes me feel like i'm committing an attrocity by eating them. i strongly suspect these are actually full-grown carrots whittled down to look like babies.
6. public restrooms with no locks. a man who doesn't say "i'm in here" when you knock, then stares at you, smiling, with his penis in his hand. that...was bizarre.
7. people who look at me over or around the gas pump. i'm having a bad day, i'll ******* spray you with gas if you don't stop staring at me.
8. cashiers who are too good for their jobs. guess you shoulda factored college into the equation somewhere to suit that ego. never too late to go back though and become someone entitled to be an *******, like a lawyer.
9. fast food.
10. fast food that looks like it has been sat on.
11. weak coffee, or as i call it "coffee-flavored tea" *shudders*
12. people who invade my 3-F box. that stands for "fight, ****, or fart". if you are that close to me, you are likely to encounter one of those three. if you are not interested, then back off. beano helps of course.
13. wet boots
14. frozen wet boots
15. sore feet
16. people who keep talking to me, even though my body language (and likely my facial expression as well) says "**** off and die".
17. CD-R's
18. trends
19. fads
20. people who like MTV
21. people that watch too many Lifetime Movies (all men are rapists or career criminals in these movies, or dying of cancer)
22. people that fight and put it on youtube
23. baby boomers
24. politicians that say "well, um, and I-uh" too much. learn to talk, it's what you do for a living.
25. nicolas cage's voice
26. the fact that it is 2010 and there are still cellphone deadspots (in the SAME spots) fifteen years later. wanna keep raising my fees? then raise some ******* towers.
27. foreign telemarketers and tech support people who say they are named "Brian, Steve, or Susan"
eh, twenty-seven is enough for now

I don't know if I really have pet peeves, I think things I don't like are simply reflections of things I don't like in myself for the most part.
Occasionally some guy will not be paying attention at the front of the left-turn lane with the advance left signal and that is kinda stupid...but it doesn't really bother me too much :S

I hate it when people give the wrong signal with their car. Like a right turn signal and then continuing straight ahead.
I do it sometimes by accident, though... so perhaps others are just as forgetful as me. Maybe I should be more forgiving.
But it's still damn annoying when I have to stop short because some ****** gave the wrong signal.

bjd, i used to have a trick i would pull on people riding my ass, it was pure evil, it was called (are you ready?
)"LEFT BLINKER / RIGHT TURN" bwahahahahahahaha
****** gets on my ass, i hit my left blinker about two blocks in advance, he wants to pass me, but he won't, i drive really really slowly, kind of speeding up and slowing down, like i am legitimately looking for my destination, but wait!, at the last minute, i made a sudden right turn!
love it

I bumped up my own thread because I was pissed at a giant pick-up that beeped at me at a red-light, but also because I just knew you were holding out on these 27 peeves the last time the thread passed through...
