*angry

That's ridiculious Black Silk. Tearing out the last page of the book? Are you insane? Seriously, that's the all time stupidest thing I've ever, ever heard of. My face is actually red right now.

people who don't understand the line weight system in autocad, and then make a pen table with a thousand colors, all indiscernable when printed

Black-Silk

In the movie 'When Harry Met Sally,' Harry says to Sally that he reads the last page of every novel so that if he dies before he finishes the novel, he knows how it ends.

Obviously different outcome but still thought you might find it interesteing.

Hey Black Silk, I read this post of yours earlier and it put me in a real bad mood all day. I'm not trying to lambast you my friend, but as a person who is a writer and has written a few published short stories and is working on a 300+ page mystery novel set in 22nd Century Greenwich Village, I must say you really offend me. And you're also offensive to an untold number of people who have taken the pen up to write something with the hopes of giving people something to enjoy. What would The Great Gatsby, or The Thornbirds be like without the last page? Or Lord of the Flies?
What you did is totally idiotic.

F you.

WELL SOME ONE GOT A LITTLE UPITTY ABOUT BOOKS , I THINK THAT WAS HILARIOUS SILKY

PEACE

MY PET PEEVES ARE HEARING PEOPLE EATING 2. WHEN PEOLE MAKE NOISES WITH THEIR NOSES CONSTANTLY. PLAY THEIR DESK LIKE THEY ARE LARS EFFING ULRICH THE DRUMMER FROM METALICA , BUT HEY THE WORLD AINT PERFECT . I PROBABLY DO A MILLION THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE COULD GO OFF ON

PEACE AGAIN

peeve:
being handed a fork and spoon by the same girl at the same dim sum house i've been going to for over a year and having to say everytime, 'no thankyou. chop sticks please'.


idiosyncrasy:
i have a left foot and a right foot, therefore i have left socks and right socks. no-one i know seems to understand this simple fact.
i have to look through the drawer until i have found a left sock and a right sock.

one of my idiosyncracies:
i just HATE eating off metal silverware. for me sticking something metal in my mouth is like that whole nails down a chalkboard is to some people. so i tend to eat with chopsticks, plastic utensils or fingers most of the time. explaining why i need a fucking plastic fork at restaurants gets so old...

I do the sock thing too. They don't fit right otherwise. It really throws me off my game on the days when I must wear two left/right socks...

I can't touch cotton balls with cringing. I hate the feeling of cotton balls. I can't even think about, it grosses me out.

pet peeve: the fucking boss who not only thinks that the peanuts he pays you now are too much but somehow deep inside he has this feeling that you almost owe him for employing you and that perhaps you should be paying him for all the "experience"...."EXPERIENCE" my nuts in your mouth fucker
Oh I also can't stand people that are half undressed and almost fucking in public places...there is a line between showing affection with a kiss and looking like pre-pubescent teenagers that just discovered a boner

I can't pee in urinals and especially not troughs. Even when no one is around.

i used to have that problem....i told a friend about it and he said to pretend i'm peeing on a chick....believe it or not it actually works. it isn't a hundred percent, but 9 out of 10 times i can pee in troughs/public now. i've also tried imagining people i don't like laying in there, and that works too.

I can't stand cotton balls either.

It's really rough at Cubs games after a few beers...

i'm tellin' ya dude....your ex is laying in that trough--and (s)he's cold

pencrush - Really?! I thought I was the only one. It's good to know there are others out there...

yep makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it..

bossman - That's kinda weird.

she.

I hate people who talk on cellphones all the time. I hate people who drive while talking on their phones, I hate people who have to check their cellphones when the Q train crosses the Manhattan Bridge - people, get a grip!!!!!!! You're not so important that you can't wait ten more minutes to get home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
friggin pathetic!

I hate people who still wear trucker hats and think they are all dat....get over it Ashton K wannabes!!

cotton is bad. hair is worse.

all of my cd's have to be in alphabetical order. always.
i also have left and right socks.
refrigerator magnets must be lined up.
mechanical pencil lead must always be 3 clicks out.
i think architecture has caused me to be borderline ocd.
does anyone else think that architecture has made them, well, a little crazy?

i have a lot of pet peeves... i could open a kennel

1.) when people draw every thing without snap on
2.) when people dimension stuff, then edit the dimension, then forget to change the actual element's dimension
3.)when people dont compress or audit drawings and just leave a bunch of trash around to slow down the file
4.) when the client expect's due diligence for free because "the contractors estimate is free, why should your initial documentation be free?"
5.) when a coworker who has a degree, has only worked in an office a couple years makes 2-3 times as much as you (you, who doesn't have a degree (but close)and has several years experience) fucks up on all of his projects, sits at his desk and talks to the secrataries all day, doesnt have a license and doesn't plan on it, GAH thats annoying when I'm sweating a bunch of work and jobs and people coming at me from every direction...
6.) when people cut out articles about FOG and give them to me
7.) when people save articles about architects and it turns out its about software architect's. GAH!
8.) when people play their music real loud in studio
9.) piled up dirty dishes or even worse: dirty pots and pans on the stove
10.) the war

i hate wet loose pieces of hair that's spaying all over the bathroom sink or bathtub. if it's on the the floor, it actually doesn't matter to me. but all over the sink and it's all wet and it sticks to everything. if you're my roommate, you must know this when you move in.

man me too... especially when it is beard hair or tiny flecks of hair from shaving all over the sink and the counter... GROW UP!

anatomical gift,
you might be me! You're in Chicago too.

I also hate pulling cotton balls apart. It's awful. Worse than fingers on a chalkboard.
I also WILL NEVER use stand up urinals to go #1. Even at work, anywhere.

I have certain words I won't say: belly button, flip-flops, smoothie, onesie, God there are so many more.

pet peeve:
1. i just hate the sound of lawnmowers...if i got to be the mayor, i would not allow a single lawnmover to trepass my county line-let the lawns overgrow, or burn them out..but please no (loud) lawnmowers please!!!
2. a-holes that use a hands-free phone are really annoying when it seems they are talking to you, but actually talking on the hands free phone


idosyncracy:
1. always always give indicator signals when turning, even if its 4:00 am, no one around and in the parking lot - but i have to say its a 'good' idiosyncracy
2.almost continually monitor the cpu usage on my computer
3.always smell my shoes before i wear them

I like to have sex with stupid people.
It releases the theroephile in me, the beast-within...

a theriophile paraphiliac :/

i wont say funny titles of foods at cheap resturaunts. i just point to what i want on the menu, and say, "one of these."

I hate when people use numbers for words, like: hey, i 8 this gr8 cheese burger today 4 only like a min. then i was off 2 my friends house."

when people dont draw their leaders straight off of the callouts in acad, and when you zoom in/out you can see they are a bit off.

and the WORST:

running out of good beer!! terrible!

Manteno_Montenegro - Maybe there's a certain personality trait that links all of these idiosyncracies together. Maybe people who can't use urinals are also compelled to live in Chicago for some deep seeded subconcious issue. Maybe the cotton ball thing is tied in too (I get sick just thinking about it). Where's Freud?

at the urinal.

saying, "kudos" and "i'll second that".

I hate the word 'rightsizing'

Most buzz-words grate:

Pro-active (what's wrong with just active)
Amenity (when meaning a vague sense of niceness)
Sustainable
Imagineering
calling a theme a Fetish when you don't happen to like it
In character/keeping
Appropriate

and all similar words frequently used by people who are unable to explain what they mean, but want to add bogus gravity to their personal opinion.

1. I can't eat all white vegetables(the color white all the way through the vegetable)..it's just not right. Most vegetable/fruits have at least parts that are green, red, yellow, orange, etc. but white..they are like the albino carneys of that food group.
Examples: califlower & hominy(starts with corn and boils it making it white all the way through-shiver)
Yes I eat all white onions, but those kind of weird me out too..i would choose chives or those purple onions over the white ones.
2. Close talkers...I really want to yell "just get the f**k back already"
3. People that don't hold the elevator when they see you walking up to the door...I really can't stand that type of crap.
4.when people make slurping sounds as they are drinking coffee(or other beverages from a glass)

i know i'm a certifiable whack job, but hey, this is the place to vent that out right?

and no, i don't eat white rice

speaker phone. I detest it.

cotton balls at the top of a bottle of aspirin are the worst type of cotton balls. I don't know if it's the sound of the fibers or what. but it freaks me out, too.

and people that bite ice cream instead of licking it.

I hate annoying loud ignorant talk show hosts,
Signed,
Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony, Jim Rome, and fatty Rush Limbaugh

1. hate the dust that settles on peoples screen when they OBVIOUSLY see it and choose not to clean it as if it were a part of the monitor.

2. fingerprints on your monitor. raise ya hands if this makes you have to meditate so as to not maim the perpetrator

3. the "talk too much" people in the office that by happenstance catch you in the coffee room with "hey- guess what i did last night!"

4. those men who are too shy to take a sh*t in the bathroom as if they were going to be prosecuted for doing so

I:

-must never have direct contact with cold surfaces, regardless of how hot I am

- will never EVER touch a pole in a public place, especially the nyc subways

-must always find the source of an extremely bad or adversely an extremely good scent or odor. or i'll go insane.


-must always convert ALL text to Mtext.

1. dust is what happens when a pixel dies

2. when everyone leaves i try to eat as much nutella out of the tub with each finger before performing a five point palm monitor degauze

3. what *did* you do last night?

4. once prosecuted you often find a little brown companion appears in the cell the next day with the defendant. those bastards will shit anywhere.

I was on a flight the other day and the woman sitting 2 seats from me was eating very crunchy popcorn out of her little baggie she brought along. Not only did it stink up the place, but she was crunching with her mouth open so LOUD, I was about ready to reach over and grab that thing right out of her hand and smack 'er. I almost threw up.....

That, and snapping gum.....oy.

Idiosyncracy - cannot STAND to touch CARDBOARD! UGHHHHHHHH! Or Kraft paper.................

one of my pet peeves is when other people's pet peeves have to do with how people use AUTOcad.

1. when people touch my monitor and leave finger prints.
2. people who bring dogs into stores, especially restaurants
3. mouth breathers
4. people who have dirty car interiors
5. when porn sites say 'teen', yet the models are clearly in their 30's

you dirty nicotine fiends that flick your cig butts into the street. especially the ones that won't put it out in their own car but discreetly drop it out the window while they drive.

Peeves
1) People who spit in public with an attitude like it's somehow attractive or tough.
2) When food is referred to as "chow." Makes me lose my appetite entirely.
3) People who wear an entire bottle of cologne and then go out in public.
4) The feeling of being dusty from walking through or touching sand and pea gravel.

Idosyncrasies
1) Profound terror of heights, to the extent that I have difficulty enjoying roof parties and have "issues" visiting apartments and offices that are above the 10th floor.
2) I feel sick every day until I eat a raw fruit or have fruit juice. No other food works.

Peeves:

1. People who crouch in public, e.g on the side of the street - you cant trust them - unless they are of Asian descent...
2. People who refer to ones profession/career/job as a ‘game’ e.g. “What do you for a living? Oh, I’m in the carpet game”.
3. Television commercials which feature babies or toddlers supposedly talking with adult voices
4. Architects who seem to have the same taste in music as your average Jo Consumer.
5. Non-maximised windows
6. People who use the speaker phone to call people, but when the person picks up, they make a clumsy scramble to pick it up and then proceed to talk through the handset anyway.
7. The annoying fascination people have with seafood/shellfish, like it is the most amazing delicacy in the world.

Idiosyncrasies:

1. I can read words backwards as fast as I can read them normally - dont ask me why or how, but I have read novels in this way - usually ones I have read before.
2. I smell pretty much anything I can - objects, food - just another source of information
3. I have little or no concept of time, particularly how long normal everyday activities take to do, or how long it takes to get somewhere.
4. Every night, weather permitting, I go for my pre-sleep wizz outside. Its very settling.

To clarify "Asian descent", I mean that when you walk into Chinatown, the Vietnamese quarter etc, etc, there seems to be a whole lot of crouching going on - obviously a cultural phenomena and nothing sinister...

I can't stand people with 'tude at the entry of a nightclub. Take your trashy shitty self and step off, you're not that important....

I simply detest the non ribbed part of a napkin passing across my lips. It's like fine, ultrafine arch model sandpaper. It is sick!
