<p>Whaaaaat? I thought obnoxious had purely negative connotations, and when I looked it up each definition confirmed that (sorry to bring the dictionary into this, but I was completely confused by what I saw). </p>
<p>So why would girls like guys that act obnoxious sometimes? I imagine you’re thinking of guys that act way too self-confident sometimes. But generally I think those are good-looking guys who act that way because their ego has been stroked too much. As soon as you realize a hot guy acts like that it’s a turn-off. Some girls, like the aforementioned ditzy airheads, are willing to put up with the off-putting attitude for the good looks that created it.</p>
<p>I hate:
-smart girls who flirt with pretty bad (habit wise) guys (the girls deserve better)
-FINANCIAL AID (I am considered international student, so I get no freaking aid even though I have lived in the US for 10 years… damn gc come to meh already)
-people who diss death metal without ever listening to it
-people who make stereotypes blindly
-people who pretend to be something they are not
-people who smoke or drink just because they think its cool (its really bad… play guitar instead and shred)</p>
<p>I don’t really hate anyone by the way… I just used the word hate because I feel strongly about those issues. </p>
<p>My issues:
-I am too nice to people. Even if someone acts like a dick to me, I won’t act the same way to him/her.
-I let people take advantage of me. I know that sounds really stupid, but I just can’t be mean lol.
-I don’t talk a lot. In groups I’m the quiet one, but I really don’t have anything mindblowing to talk about. I don’t drink/smoke, so I can’t really join in those little conversations about how wasted I was… and nobody likes death metal, so I can’t really be like “I finally got down my Necrophagist solo BOO YEAH!!!”</p>

I’m guilty of:
Being WAY too emotional
Having VERY little self-confidence (I’m getting better)
Having NO sense of volume control…when I get excited or mention that someone was talking loudly my level of voice raises.
I forget things half way through a sentence…repeat myself about three times, then stop and move onto a different topic of conversation. (I’m not ditzy, it’s just in my head, it’s already been said and we can move on to a different conversation. My brain works WAY too fast. Thanks ADHD and Bipolar II)
I complain a lot.
I interrupt people sometimes, without even meaning to. I just don’t <em>notice</em> that they weren’t finished their conversation, even if I was following the conversation closely.
Apologising for EVERYTHING, even when it’s not needed.
My grammar is atrocious at times, as well as my spelling.</p>
<p>WOW. I have a lot more pet peeves than I thought.
P.S. I have a whole separate list for cleanliness.</p>
<p>You know, before this thread, I used to think that I didn’t have a major pet peeve. Now after reading part of this thread, I now have made up my mind: it’s people. Thanks a lot CCers :3</p>
<p>No seriously, I love you guys. But with all of these pet peeves, how do you guys function day to day?</p>
<p>People who text message on a date. I have no problem with text messaging in social settings; it’s understandable that everyone has to. However, if I am on a date, I expect my date to be paying full attention to me, as I do to her. I was on a first date with a girl who was consistently text messaging other people, even after I requested her to stop a couple of times. Guess who I didn’t call back.</p>
<p>People who wear clothes that don’t fit them. This applies to both people who wear excessively baggy clothes and tramps who wear tops that are three sizes too small. (And don’t forget obese people squeezing into normal-sized clothes.) I don’t think that any further explanation is needed.</p>
<p>Mouth breathers. I’m sorry, but this is disgusting, loud, and unhealthy.</p>
<p>The person who consistently forgets their textbook. No, champ, I’m not going to let you look off of me for the in-class assignment. I let you do it for the past four classes, and you annoyed the **** out of me by mouth-breathing over my shoulder.</p>
<p>**People who make quotes of and allusions to the most overused clich</p>
<p>-Rude drivers (Ie: All the kids at my school who almost hit other cars just to get out of the parking lot first…)
-Embarrassing people (Cause then I feel embarrased for them and no one likes that feeling. )
-People who all look the same because they obviously shop at the same stores and follow trends (I know this is dumb but I can’t help and gag when the fifth gladiator shoe and belted skirt walks by.)
-Stupid people (Which means people who are rude to people-including teachers- in class, or in public)
-Disrespectful people
-People who don’t understand that people have different opinions
-Extremists (Liberals, Conservatives, or even non-political stuff… all of 'em)
-People who use the word people too much (oops…)</p>
<p>What I probably do:
-A little ditzy sometimes
-Don’t like to party and have some same lame excuse like “I don’t do stuff I don’t wanna do”
-I’m a grammar nazi sometimes :(</p>
