When people say that the 666 is the number of the devil. They are NOT sixes – they are UPSIDE-DOWN NINES. They only LOOK like sixes, but an upside-down five is only an upside-down five, so why would an upside-down nine magically transform into a six? It is still a nine and will always stay so. Just because it looks like a six doesn’t mean it is.
Also when people dress their kids up like Santa (even worse when they have their kids dressed like santa to SIT ON SANTAS LAP). No child should ever dress up like Santa unless it’s for Halloween, and in that case, it would be hella adorable. I’ve been trying to convince my baby sister that Mrs. Claus would be a super cool Halloween costume for the past two years, but she’s not having it.

Offline There was a thing about 666 being the number of the devil on QI years back and they said it was a typo down when translating it from Hebrew, San script or whatever it is. So supposedly its all a nonsense.
Folk who spend 10 minutes at cashpoints endlessly pressing buttons. What on earth are they doing, rewriting code?

They actually don’t have ANY number in the Bible – it’s just a later interpretation.

Well that works as its then added in before its altered.
I have no idea but here’s the QI clip where they say the number was 616 until someone changed it.

People that overreact to anything. Today, I was having lunch with a few of my friends, and we were talking about ring fingers and middle fingers (for educational reasons, of course) and my friend noticed a bump on my ring finger. She literally freaked the hell out, and basically started screaming “What the hell is that on your finger? That’s disgusting!”. And why do I have a bump on my finger, you ask? Because I hold my pencil between my middle and ring fingers, and it just randomly did that (it’s totally healthy, I’ve had it for a few years by now). I simply replied with “That’s the area I hold my pencil. I’m pretty sure most people have them, except most peoples are smaller than mine.”
I swear, the girl basically started havin’ a heart attack. My other two friends weren’t talking much ’bout it.

She should see the massive scar I have on my right hand’s ring finger. I got it when I was scuba-diving and I must have cut it on rope or something- I tell people I got bitten by a small shark, sounds much cooler 
I showed it to my mam and she said “you should have gotten stitches for that” (I was alone in France when I cut it) but I just stuck a plaster on it and went on my day as it bled a ton. A lot of people get freaked out when they notice it because it looks so bloody weird- although as it ages (it’s 1.5 years old now), it’s getting smaller and less noticeable which is fine by me.

Offline Shave my head and you’ll probably find a number of scars, i’ve split my head open a number of times – the result of growing up with older brothers. One involved getting hit by a stone thrown by one of them whilst standing a good distance behind him, he wasn’t even looking in my direction. Total accident.
I’ve also run into the back of a parked lorry; up the hospital I went.

I love messing with people when they ask about any injury or scars. I try to make up a different story for each person, then wait to see if they compare notes.
Some you could use for your finger’s scar:
I was walking down the road when I heard a crying baby. The poor thing crawled under a car and got stuck. I sliced my finger on the bumper of the car when I lifted it off the baby…
I was stuck in a lift with an older man who suffered from claustrophobia. It got so bad, he was having a heart attack. I had to climb out the hatch door at the top of the car and sliced my finger while shimmying up the cable to the next floor…
While climbing Mount Everest…let’s see..was it the second or third time? Anyway, when my guide slipped and fell…

When younger I sliced my knee opened on a broken Fisher Price toy. The scar is there for all to see.
How times have changed. Back then it was your parents sticking a plaster on it and telling you to sit still for 5 minutes and wondering if they could fix the toy. If done 20 years later we could have sued the toy company hoping to be awarded a fortune, and had my face all over the news whilst showing the damage to my knee and claiming I may never walk again.

That’s another Pet Peeve of mine, the Compo culture Ireland is getting. We’re very close to becoming like the US (no offence meant to any of our American forum members here), where the second you fall over- you’re looking to sue someone. It’s a joke, the second you trip/fall on the ground, you sue- even if you it was your own clumsy fault and then you get in the tens of thousands of compensation.

Eagleland Osmosis is very strong. People all over the world when they call for emergencies call 911 despite their county not using 911 and people in France asking for their Miranda rights plus people calling the judge “your honor”. I wonder if this trend will continue or another country will dominate.

Offline ^ That’s why I’ll always ring 112 if I ever need to ring the emergency number- my mind would probably be confused with whether it was 911 or 999 that I’d have to call whereas I know 112 is the right number. I wonder if you ring 911 here does it redirect to 999 >.>

Offline Having a very dry sore throat that the more horizontal you are the more you need to cough.
And all these home remedies that consist of ingredients you’ve never heard of never mind don’t have lying around the house for such eventualities. Just swallow the shavings of the Albanian Dranchard mushrooms twice a day for two days and you’ll be fully healthy.

Offline I don’t like it when people bring friends to what should be a family-only gathering. Particularly when the friends are seen practically every day and the relatives are seen about once a year (despite the fact that they live less than half an hour away from the relatives in question, and we live seven hours away, we see them more than they do– admittedly, only twice a year, but still— don’t even get me started on that 
)

Offline When people show up at your house invited- in particular my cousins (I’ve mentioned them before). They will literally show up at 8pm any day and expect us to have biscuits or whatever for them when our family never has junk-food except for Christmas. That and they never bring stuff for us to eat together- cake, sweets whatever, they just expect us to have everything >.>
Have they not heard of the wonderful device that is the telephone?
That and the majority of time I’m in my pyjamas when they come over so I have to get dressed again 
It’s just plain rude, so it is.

Offline When people invite themselves is very annoying in general, had it last week with two friends. They were like ”let’s hang out, let’s go to your place. We’ll be there at 2”, but I had nothing to give them, not even a biscuit, plus I don’t like having people over in general.

Offline This isn’t a Pet Peeve as much as it is something that I find very odd.
Places that have “memorial” in the name without specifying what they’re in memorial of.
I used to live in a town called Arlington Heights. The library in that town is called the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. What?

I agree……….Not sure what’s being memorial’d……..555
But Arlington Cemetery is The US’s most hallowed ground ………..Robert E Lee and Washington’s connection……But it’s not clear what the Library thing is on about unless it’s not to forget the Civil War??
My similar peeve is lack of imagination…….Mexico’s capital city being called Mexico City for instance…….Or naming a child ‘Efram Zimbalist Junior III’
