HUGE PET PEEVE
People who, like, put ‘like’s and ‘you know’s into, like, everything? And put question marks on the ends of, like, every sentence they, like, utter? You know?
This vid expresses it beautifully:

Offline People trying to run me down on pedestrian crossings. I just had a “close encounter of the annoying kind” and avoided becoming roadkill by about 6 inches.
The idiot was even slowing down for the speed bump on the crossing, stared straight at me and mouthed “sorry”.
This one is in a “shared precinct” with lots of warnings to keep an eye out for pedestrians, along with a reduced speed limit.
What the F do they think all those markings on the road are for? Though I do recall being told in Paris that the markings are there so the ambulance knows where to find the bodies.

Offline On talk radio:
1) When they say they will be taking calls after a commercial break. But when they return, host continue to yap on their own without taking calls. Or if they do, they have to cut caller short due to lack of time. Don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep.
2) When they have guests in studio (and after a lengthy interview), they start taking calls from listeners to ask guest a question. But again, host keeps interrupting and not letting caller talk.
3) Talk show host rants for a good 10-15 minutes about his opinion about a certain issue. When he finally takes calls, he keeps interrupting caller who wants to express his alternate viewpoint, especially if he disagrees. Then host pretty much repeats what he already said.

That one annoys me as well.
I also get annoyed if they don’t tell me what the song is, as II usually listen to radio to discover new music.

Offline I forgot about that. That’s another annoyance.
On the Beatles front, I’ve heard Strawberry Fields Forever played on the radio where they stop the song after the fade out so we don’t get to hear the “cranberry sauce” ending.

Now that we’re on the radio topic, it also annoys me when radio stations play the exact same songs, that are basically the main focus of their stations. The radio station I listen to in the car plays Revolution way too much. Don’t get me wrong, I love Revolution , but there’s a point where you don’t want to hear it on that radio station again. The only other Beatles songs I can recall being on the radio is Let It Be and Back In The USSR

Offline I had to listen to the same crap song on one of the TV music channels three times in an hour once.
I don’t listen to the radio for music as the current stations recycle the same playlists as each other and most of it I want to avoid. For the older stations I’d just rather play my iPod as I therefore don’t have to listen to the annoying prat of a DJ.

People exercising their ‘freedom of speech’ to introduce their offtopic religious views into a discussion, stating them as facts, who then get all up in arms when someone else uses *their* freedom of speech to question aforementioned religious views. The funniest part of that would be that the person this discussion was about, didn’t believe in said religious views either….
But other than that, I’m happy as a cat in a field of catnip

Offline Ooooh, radio peeves – here’s one of mine. During call-in talk shows, there’s that brief little exchange of pleasantries at the beginning of each call. More times than not, the caller is so gung-ho about getting their point across, they botch the exchange.
Host: Next up is Willie from Walla Walla, Washington. How are you doing today Willie?
Willie: Not much.
-or-
Host: Our next caller is Joe Blow from Idaho. What’s up, Joe?
Joe: Fine, thank you.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline Phone peeve: People who worship their “communication devices” and want to make sure you know exactly what you’re missing. I’ve always hated phones. Except for very rare times, most of my phone calls last a minute or less. Same with messages. Say, “Call me.” Don’t leave a message covering the last six months.
Beatles peeve from a long time ago til now: People that write off entire years or albums…as in my sis (and others). My sis said, “Everything after Help is just stupid, it doesn’t make any sense.” I’ve heard the opposite as well. “Nothing before (name the album) is worth listening to because they were just a boy band then.”
1. Leave my phone alone.
2. Don’t mess with my Beeattles, especially those years between ’60 and ’70 !
Love is all you need.
