A lot of the most irritating peeves are repeated. a-hard-days-night-john-6 

Great minds (and Necko) think alike.

Here’s a new one:

When companies abuse the phrase “Since [X year.]” I saw a commercial today that said “we’ve been serving you since 2008.” 2008? Give me a break! If I ran the world (and thank God I don’t), I would ban any company that’s been around for less than forty years from using the phrase.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

Mentioning Ringo in the past tense as if he no longer plays drums. He still. Plays. Drums. Also he is still living, so present tense is kind of appreciated. Christ. >.<

The whole Paul is Dead thing. Well, I just might not be as much in the know as some,  but Paul is not dead and I just don’t have any interest in stuff like that. Not that I’m knocking anyone who does though. Paul is Paul 😀

But there is so much proof that Paul is dead.

Look at these pictures of the same exact person at a different age.  They may look like they’re both Paul, but one of the pictures says “Faul” in the bottom corner so it must mean there is a difference between the two.  Only a blind man would believe that Paul isn’t dead after this concrete evidence.a-hard-days-night-john-1

‘Bugsy Malone’ is the one actual musical (if it is a real musical) I really enjoy watching but the end seriously bugs me. The whole film consists of people being splurged to death yet at the finale when everyone but Bugsy and Blousey get splurged they all have a huge singsong. They should be dead!!! 

May not have been a family ending, everyone being dead, but would have made a lot more sense – and people die, get used to it kids.

(One of my major pet peeves.)

 When people say, “oh you can’t drink that, it has sugar in it. The diet is that way.” 

 Just because I’m a diabetic doesn’t mean I can’t have sugar. You’re making yourself sound very stupid. All credibility for you is gone in my eyes. 

(Also diet soda is disgusting!)

I don’t ever do this beacause I figure people know what they can can’t eat.  But I legitly didn’t know that diabetics could have sugar.  Isn’t sugar free stuff made for diabetics?

quote from here about that.

Diabetic and “dietetic” foods generally offer no special benefit. Most of them still raise blood glucose levels, are usually more expensive and can also have a laxative effect if they contain sugar alcohols.

I also didn’t know about that, learn something new everyday.

Many of my works policies and procedures. All day long my fellow worker colleagues can explain why they are in place but doesn’t mean they aren’t stupid policies and procedures.

Let me guess; “because we’ve always done it that way.” Am I close?

That is definitely a peeve of mine as well. Just because something has “always been done that way” doesn’t mean it’s right or still relevant.

Its generally a variation of “that’s how we’ve been trained, didn’t you attend?”.

Some of the things that are picked up on v some of the things that are ignored are incredible. Nothing major life or death, more in a ranking list of serious misdemeanors as outlined in trained v who gives a s**t, the former you’d think would be a bigger issue.

 

Official Beatles watches £975 or nothing. Every time i think Apple are incompetent i find they are way below my lowest expectations. Want an official limited edition Beatles Salt and pepper set? -> no problem? want a watch that doesn’t involve you selling your own and your partner’s body parts online? – not a chance.

They sound like a modern day version of The Stepford Wives.

 

I don’t know If I’ve listed this one before, but one of my peeves is those annoying little oval magnets people stick on the backs of their vehicles. For those outside the US who may not be subjected to these inane symbols of nothingness, they are oval shaped magnets that adorn cars driven by misguided folk who are under the impression that the rest of the world gives a s**t about what they have done or where they have been. For example:

Translation: I ran a marathon (26.2 miles).

Translation: I’ve been to Vermont.

Was on a bus tonight and i had to get off at an earlier stop as the bus driver said folk had complained about the stops going on further!! Who on earth complains about a bus stopping at two further stops which are on the feckin’ route??!! Lying b*****d. At least just be honest and admit you want a 10 minute break to smoke and check your phone.

If IDGAF about where someone has been or what they’ve done, that would be me being honest. I’d make Abe Lincoln seem like a pathological liar in comparison.

I kind of have the same feeling about those stick figure family stickers. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re actually cute when used responsibly. And the geeky ones can be hilarious (Star Wars/zombies/whatever).

qid=1471012014&sr=8-13&keywords=stick+family

It just gets to be a bit overkill when you’ve got like five kids, three dogs, two cats and a hamster or whatever all lined up. Imagine if they had those for pet fish. Haha….I’ll be happy with just an Abbey Road silhouette on my window, please. Or maybe, a combination of Abbey Road AND zombies. =D

Maybe they should make one that’s just the Abbey Road zebra crossing, and then you can buy custom family stickers that walk across the road.
