ReplyDeleteWe all have our own pet peeves. Each either lightly hated or strongly.But what really annoys me is the very common thing at cinemas, popcorn eating. Going to the cinema to watch a film is a time to relax after a long hard week of study or work, the screen enlarges as the barrage of trailers finally comes to an end and as you get comfy, then comes the pain you have to endure for the rest of the film.I mean, everyone wants to relax and a movie lasts about 2-3 hours so why chow down the popcorn as if someones going to take it off you. They should rename 'popcorn' to 'rocks' from the sounds some people make and you cannot say anything to them otherwise they would complain or call you rude.
Sure it's overpriced and you want to have fun but slow down because no-one's going to take it off you

ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is supermarket car parks, generally all car parks but mostly supermarket car parks. This is because whenever I go shopping with my family by car majority of the times there is literally no space to park. This gets me very frustrated as I don’t like going shopping and I want to get home as soon as possible. I just want it to be like a pit stop; go in, buy what you want then get in the car and go home.
What makes the matter worse is when people take what seems ages to move off from the already full car park. I often feel convinced that some people deliberately take longer to move off when they see other people waiting to park in their space.
Gym.No matter which gym it is or what time you go, one or more of the following stock characters will be there, waiting to vex you: The dude who GRUNTS! every time he lifts a big weight. The person with a dumbbell in one hand, and a cell phone in the other. The teenager whose music is so loud you can hear it through her ear buds. Or the sloppy, stinky runner who sweats all over the treadmill -- and doesn't clean up after himself.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting. why do it?
Don’t you all hate it when you enter a contest every day for six months and you hear of another person on a forum that won it but only entered once. I mean COME ON, seriously? I am happy for them but I guess it boils down to me not liking daily contests period. I enter and I am successful at them but it is not clear to me why a sponsor needs for us to visit their site daily. They should only want to get your information once. It’s not like after entering the contest on a daily basis you will actually go out and buy that flower scented room deodorizer.
ReplyDeleteWe all love going to the cinema, its a great time to relax, let all the pressure of the week just go, sure the ads r annoying, but once the movie starts you just cant wait. But then someone there is munching on there snack so load and talking; spliting out chunks of there food, just thinking about it makes you feel sick. This is it wat annoys me

ReplyDeleteRyehan, I have to delete this because of the swearing. Please repost without an profanities.
DeleteThis one is very commonly accepted as one of the worst things you can do at the dinner table. Do we really want to see your half chewed piece of poultries rolling around in your mouth? Maybe if your turned on by that sort of thing but most would rather you just shut your trap and keep the contents in your mouth a secret.
ReplyDeleteTalking with your mouth open generally follows the open mouth chewers as well. Most people don't want chunks of food spitting out of your mouth and possibly landing on us or on our food, it's disgusting. It’s the sort of thing that makes you want to hurl. If you are planning to accompany me to a restaurant, banquet, gathering etc. with that sort of disgusting habit then make sure you uninvited yourself :)
dont you hate it when your on facebook, twitter or playing games and the internet connection suddenly disconnects or is slow?
ReplyDeletewell i get very annoyed if my intenet connection is very slow or disconnects by itself. And then you have to call sky or virgin media to tell them the internet is not working. for me none of their advice works whenever i call they say it will be back to normal in 3 weeks lies! so theres no point in calling them and wasting 5 minutes taiking to a robot and then listen to a humans lecture for half an hour!

ReplyDeleteThe human giraffe of the cinema.
Don't you just hate it when your sitting in your seat relaxing untill the movie begin's when all of a sudden a big hefty person sits right in front of you. They make you want to ball your eyes out, you end up watching the back of their head for 3hours and not seeing any part of the film as the screen is covered by the giant in front of you.

ReplyDeleteHaving a bad hair day, is simply because you've woken up from the left or youve had a rough night. Thinking on how to get that perfect smooth slick back hair that everybody will compliment and wish they had the same...well on some mornings its the opposite; you get up looking like you've just had an electric shock more like a birds nest even worse is, looking like someones been pulling your hair all night. Oh that would be embarassing...I mean come on! who would want their hair to like a complete mess in the mornings i'd rather have a big wolly hat on even on summer days if i go looking like that.
Everyone Has A Pet Peeve, Well My One Is When You the first one at a party And You don't know what to do.You cant talk to anyone or you cant do nothing AT ALL.You just wish you could go back out, But that would be rude so you would have to stay or Have a friend with you. However it would look bad if you came late.

ReplyDeleteIt's a typical hot summers day, your on the bus on your way to school,work etc..listening to your music not caring how loud it is,thinking 'I'm gonna let everyone hear my banging tunes like a boss' but obviously they enjoy my music:).Bopping your head to the beat,tapping your feet and closing your eyes while relaxing; you decide to take a whiff of fresh air..and..BABAAM! The most horrible stench takes over the fresh air your trying to recieve,your stomach whirls around making you want to puke almost instantly. Looking around to see who's making that disgusting smell you realise the bus has gone packed while you were too busy enjoying your music;but than again how would you know the bus is packed when a fat man is right infront of you blocking your path,view and squashing you? No offense to fat people but you need to know that people like ME need need their personal space.
ReplyDeleteYou try moving and fail miserably then end up under a sweaty, hairy armpit dripping wet and smelling like it hasn't been washed or cleaned for years! You then realise that was the horrible smell that interrupted your music. Isn't it enough that the guy is already fat and sqashing me to the window? Then the large man decides to start talking on the phone,"Yeah, I'm going to get KFC as soon as it opens, then mans going Sams.." Does it look like I want to know what your going to eat? NO just NO! The dude then starts shouting and starts spluttering his nasty spit all over my poor face. It's already hard enough to breathe and now I can't even get my hand to move because I'm sqashed.
Your wandering when you will get to your destination..and when you get there you practically run out!
This is what I hate it takes the MICK OUT OF MY life
My Pet Peeve.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest i have many pet peeves but there is one that really,really,REALLY grind my gears.It is when people are talking to me and they are up in my face. It just pushes my buttons because i know i'm not partially blind so i can see you clearly and i would like some personal space. When someone does that to me it feels like
that person is ripping my heart out. You my think this is funny,weird,stupid or ect,but that is how i feel about people in my face while they are talking to me.
PS: But if it is a HOTSPICE thats a whole different thing.

I just hate it when watching a programme and the when interesting part of the programme comes the stupid, annoying and iratating adverts. It just takes for ever for it to finish which just get me angry.
ReplyDeleteIts ok to watch the advert ONCE,in this case its same advert which comes up by the time the programme comes back i would of forgoten what happened before (also i know the words of the advert by heart )
Many people have pet peeves which is a common thing to have..
ReplyDeleteWell mine is when people who spit on the ground and don't look first to see if anybody is around. Which is something that many others find annoying as well; which has happened to me various times as it always gets on my nerves.
When i'm usually walking home few people seem to walk past me and just spit on the ground right next to me as of they don't even notice that i was there.Even though i let it slide by it still really tends to get on my nerves!
Well done Year 10s.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that for the first two lessons after the half term you will be completing your last creative writing controlled assessment.
Formal Writing - What TV show do I love OR loathe. You cannot write about both.
Don't forget to use discourse markers and sequencing connectives.
Descriptive language is important. Don't get to build imagery.
