Nothing is more annoying than someone sending their first picture to me as a full length naked frontal shot. Or requesting me sign on to their web cam before they have even said "hello". Especially when the web cam is only a crotch shot. I don't use a cam and I don't have a current picture for these reasons. It isn't important. If we get to know each other I won't drop in on someone's doorstep without having the opportunity to at least give the person a chance to bow out gracefully. I work on a "need to know basis" and there are just some things that most people don't need to know.
I have tried using a mic, but I can't seem to find one that works right. I have at least hopes for that with those already established friends, not those individuals that are introducing themselves to me for the first time.
I really detest vulgar language. Oh some swearing is excusable, but not the steady rude, crude and lude stuff that some use. I try to conduct myself as a lady and I appreciate being treated as such. I am perfectly capable of cussing up a storm, but why, what's the point? I was told once that "vulgarity is the vocabulary of the ignorant" and that stuck with me. If you have a vocabulary then why not use it properly and if you don't�go out and get one.
Since this is about pet peeves I guess I should add in stuff like leaving the seat cover up on the toilet, or removing the toilet paper roll from the dispenser to roll all over the floor. Oh and not flushing or not turning the fan on when you've been in there with a magazine forever. Hey and would it hurt you guys to clean out the tub after you bath or wash the little whiskers off the sink when you shave? Sucking your teeth continually will get on my nerves and forget chewing chaw. One little pinch in your cheek will turn my stomach no matter how much I like the smell of wintergreen. You won't need to eat spinach to have green stuck to your teeth. Getting to the theatre late or sitting in the very front row of seats. Or not turning the light off when you leave a room. Dripping clothing through the house as you walk is a good one. So is putting your feet up on the table or cutting your toenails there.
Don't feed your pet off your plate or let it take what it wants for itself. Don't kiss your pet on its mouth and think that mug is getting anywhere near me. I know what they do in their leasure time. Yah and don't sleep with your dog and then expect me to crawl in bed with you. Wet dog smell is not a turn on. Don't let the cat in the kitchen, on the counters, in my underwear drawer or on the couch unless you have her in your lap...just be glad I let you sit there.
So what is it about wearing socks until there are holes in them and the weave has been pressed so tight that it resembles plastic that is so appealing? You know they sell these great little insoles for shoes that make the step softer and double as deodorants. And teatree oil products can get rid of most itchy feet and those fungus among us. And what part of I really hate football is so hard to understand? I did my time in the most uncomfortable uniforms playing the flute in the rain at live football games. I don't need to dredge up those memories. So get over it. I have no problem with you going over to a friend's to watch football during super bowl week as long as I don't have to hear about it.
I believe that people are supposed to take care of each other and be thoughtful. I may have some habits of being concerned with your well being, like wearing warm enough clothing or getting a balanced diet or enough sleep, which may appear to be annoying maternal tendendies and just because I date younger men, don't think you can call me "Mom" ever...even jokingly. You won't have time to take another breath before I "Edipus Rex" your ass right out of the house. I am not looking to adopt.
Oh and that brings up another pet peeve that I really twang on. I would think that a time frame or place where there is no "game speak" is reasonable. I know how some of you live and breathe one kind of game or another. Either there are video games with all their stats or role playing dice games with a variety of gaming systems each with its own jargon and terminology. I would make a million if I designed blouses for video widows with keyboards and joysticks printed on them with the caption, "press this button". Or table top where you can spend a quarter of your pay check on mecha, landscaping, counters and every Saturday and Sunday of the month. Or LARP live action role playing where there are just as many systems, but you have the politics and a thousand different attributes to discuss continually for hours and hours and hours. Come on, there isn't a one of these that you don't spend hours at then after you are finished you have to discuss everything you have just done with everyone else, re-inacting it all over again. And when that is done then you have to speculate on what new attributes will do what before you even attempt to play them. Enough already, I have played dungeons and dragons and gamma world and I have a general idea how all this works, but good godz man, get a life and visit the real world every now and then.
