Widukinds Top Ten Pet Peeves. OF ALL TIME!

I'm a happy person, but some things make me >:(. Tune in soon for my counter list of things that make me <('_'<) ^('_')^ (>'_')>. Also, please add your own.

10) Whenever a baseball crowd boos an opposing pitcher for making a fake pick-off attempt because they think he balked. Either know the game, admit you don't know what constitutes a balk (me), or admit you know nothing. Just don't pretend to know what you're doing.
9) People who pretend to know what they're doing. This really fucks shit up sometimes. Like when I had to fill up one of my boss' cars with gas, and by the time I got to the gas station I realized I had no idea how to open her gas tank. It could also be something like pretending to know how to operate a firearm before blowing your friends face off. This one covers a lot of ground.
8) If someone gets asked to "speak up", and then they just stop talking and restart talking at the same volume.
7) While you're sitting at a computer and someone comes to the cabinet next to you to get some files out and profusely apologizes for annoying you the whole time they're there, when in fact you wouldn't notice their presence in the first place. I'm trying to write a blog post, damnit. (OK seriously this just happened to me again after finishing that paragraph. Also, thank you for reading my "Roadkill Cafe" shirt out loud. I was not aware I was wearing such humorous apparel. I need to do some laundry.)
6) People who invite all of their friends on TheFacebook.com to go see their crappy high school band preform somewhere, or ex-JV lacrosse coaches who invite you to go watch them DJ in New York City.
5) Getting asked to do something for someone, doing it, and then receiving complaints about how you handled going through with the favor. Like when someone gets told to "buy some 40s", and when they come back with the merchandise, a certain special someone throws their head back and goes "ugghhghgnhgnghgngn...I hate OE!"
4) Drivers who do this:

I have a sunroof and they're driving a pink car!!1one1! lulz...

3) Wikipedia haters. Saying one should distrust Wikipedia because "anyone can edit it" is about on par with "don't smoke weed because it makes you lazy" in the world of terrible arguments. I'm sorry, but if I come across an article about a high school in which "Penis McPenistein" is listed among their alumni, I'm pretty sure I can figure out that it's fake (alright, UHS!). Don't be so fucking paranoid and stubborn to adapt to new times. Smoke some weed. Research Hellfire missiles and the FARC and giant squid on Wikipedia. There, I just planned your next date.
2) Asking for help and then totally rejecting the help. The cabinet bandit at my office does this shit, too. One time she complained that her files weren't writing to a CD at home (how am I supposed to help here?), and asked for alternatives. I told her to get a flash drive. She said those were too expensive. I told her to email it to herself. She said that she doesn't want anyone to read it, and she wanted an easy way to store a lot of files. So I told her to get a flash drive, again. Then she said she likes floppy disks and walked away. Thank you cabinet bandit for that titillating conversation.
1) Sideline reporters.

Another good one is when someone gets really upset and you tell them to "relax" or "stop yelling", and they just respond "you relax" or "you're yelling". CoughNamesakeCough...

Hahaha, that last one you mentioned is my favorite. "YOU relax!" Haha, does Tall Can really say that? What a rook bitch.

My main pet peeve isn't very funny. It's when people don't use their turn signal. Christ, all you have to do is move your left arm about one inch and it saves everyone so much trouble. Fucking belligerent assholes.

Good post, old boy!
