Pet Peeves
Sorry, I cannot get past the name WaffleCheese....please how can anyone who looks like you name yourself after some really strange (albeit delicious) sandwich? Why not just name yourself delicious, no I guess you would believe people would think you presumptious....
Ok I need a few minutes to adjust my mind...when I call you wafflecheese I'll have to think of blueberry waffles to include those eyes staring out of the computer...
my pet peeves, Wafflecheese, are....uh! Gorgeous young men with disturbing names....sorry...I just cannot help myself! You could be poetic, or inspired, or deeply sentimental, but what your name reflects is food, which could be ok in certain circumstances, but your name is the wrong kind of food for poetry...it's one of those pet peeves that no one can do anything about....I guess I'll call you WC, would that be ok with you?
Apathy. Drives me nuts
People who ask "how are you?" ,then go on to talk about themselves forever
Lazy people who leave/throw trash around when the bin is right there!! what the hell is with that ...this morning I watched my neighbor (nice guy) get out of car, place his empty fizzy can on the kerb ,then walk in his house??? wouldnt it have taken the same amount of energy to bend an place it in his rubbish bin in the house???
Lazy poophead!
But the more I looked ,the more I saw it , just lazy..
Rude people.
Dogs left to roam streets ( oh but they gotta be free..)
Shop assistants who look over the heads of children to serve adults...grrrrr
Ok sorry , I need coffee...
Uh EK, we have lots of dogs roaming the streets here. You might not want to go to my country because of this.
Pet peeve - uhhhmmm, late people (although they say it's the culture here), not being able to eat on time (gets me really cranky), not drinking my coffee in the morning, uhm, people who go to church then, after mass, start gossiping with other people (gggrrrrrr).

0Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. So don't copy me then.
Eating noises are big pet peeves of mine. The gum-chewing/snapping thing is enough to make me want to kill too. Big band music, "real" jazz music (at least most of it), a whole lot of country western music, and music that is nothing but a couple of notes - all things that make me want to kill, as well.
As for emoticons....
....I kind of think they're cute.Deborah-Lynn, if you go to any site that lets you have codes for "smileys"/emoticons "for your website or forums" you can add whichever ones you like. These come from www.planetsmilies.net (where you select from a category, click on the one you like, and copy the code). On that site there are two codes. You would want the one "for forums" (the one has [img] in it twice. In order to put them on here you need to copy the first [img] (including the brackets), and everything between the first [img] and the last one (again, including the brackets). You then can paste what you've copied, preview your post here (to make sure you got all the characters and no extras), and there you go. I added a couple of basic smileys from the ones you get if you click on "formatting tips", just under the window where you type your forum post on HubPages.
If you paste the codes in on one line the pictures will be in a horizontal row. If you do "carriage return"/"enter" your pictures will be on their own lines. You can add spaces (or whatever) to get them to look the way you want them to look. (The partiers came, I think, from the "party" category, if I recall correctly. The band came from "music". I don't know where the smokers came from, but there's nothing like smoking smiley faces. (sending you a quick message through your profile in case you don't return to this thread...)Lisa, thank you! I have been trying to put an emoticon on this sight all night but when I press [copy] under the image, it does not copy...I'll use your instuctions and see if I get better results. Your great to get back to me like this, I'll check my profile messages as well...

Why can't we all be just like when we were born? Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. Are you naked?

Bad table manners.
People who tap on aquariums.
People who don't train their dogs (or kids
) and then say they're bad when they misbehave.
Bad liars. If you're going to lie to me, at least have the decency to be convincing about it.
People who think they should be first in everyone else's life.
People who think they have a right to try to control or change someone else.- Fountain of Infoposted 14 years ago0
Man, you guys scare me! Remind me to sit there quietly with my arms folded if we ever meet in person. I wouldn't want to inadvertently speak, chew, or move in a way that might offend. In all future correspondence, I'll try my best to refrain from the frivolous use of slang, non-words, and (gasp) emoticons.
But then, I'm sure someone will be annoyed by my silence or grammatical correctness.
What to do?? I just can't win with you people!! <---Sorry Mr. Cheese.

Hub-Hopping: pet peeves?
Every time I spend time hub-hopping, I come here in hopes of finding a pet peeves topic...so I'm starting one. My pet peeve is in trying to rank or flag hubs with almost-but-not-quite decent use of grammar, spelling and punctuation. I've hopped this type more often than the high quality type...
