View Full Version : Pet Peeves ?
What are some of your pet peeves. Something that annoys you to no end.
Mine are:
People who wear bright clothing. I am talking about the ones that you can see three blocks down the road.
Over weight people riding those motorized chairs. I can understand if they have a medical problem. But common how hard is it to eat less if you dont have a medical issue.
Parents who dress there girls like sluts with whore make-up. I hope you know what i mean
People coming up to you when your waiting for some one or a buss. And they start to relate there life and the weather
There is alot more but i wont bore you too much ;)

The word Pet Peeve. :angry:
I didnt know what other word grouping that could generalize the subject at hand.
Women who like to let 3/4ths of their breasts hang out over the top of her collar
Women who like to show half their ass cracks and their t-bag when they sit down.
People who chat non-stop in lecture halls with really good acoustics.
People who don't turn their phones off before a movie/meeting etc.
People who don't iron their shirts.
Hair that looks like it hasn't been washed for a week.
People who do that thing where they constantly move their leg(s) when they're sitting. *It's so annnoying esp when the floor is none-too stable, and moves along with him making everyone else sitting on the flat not moving with the beat dizzy. *This happens the most in study halls...
Obese people in general... unless it's obviously hereditary. *Obese people eating fatty food/drinking pop.
People under 35 who smoke... have they no MINDS?
Okay I'll stop there.
It's the J in me, I can't help it.
Yeah nothings worse then seeing some ones but crack when the sit down. Or over weight woman who think its ok'ay to wear tight clothing.
Yeah nothings worse then seeing some ones but crack when the sit down. Or over weight woman who think its ok'ay to wear tight clothing.
Where you see every single crease in their fat and t-shirts riding up their sides, revealing their spare tire hanging out over the top of their pants?
It makes me cringe every time i see that. How can you have respect for your self when you wear something like that.I wish we had gay superhero that would come down and dress those people right.

Oh boy, fun!
- People who talk incessantly
- People who are arrogant, but dumb as bricks
- Crooked pictures/badly placed pictures
- People who assume that all fat people sit around eating twinkies all day
- People who don't teach their children how to behave in public and let them run amok in stores, restaurants, etc.
- People who use the word "gay" to mean "stupid"
- People who don't realize they have excessively bad B.O. or that they smell like a poopy ass.
- When a roll of toilet paper is installed with the paper against the wall...people who take the toilet paper out, pull off some to use, and then don't bother installing it on the roller even though it takes less than 10 seconds.
- People who do the same process every day, but don't do it the same way every time.
- When my cat whines to be let out of my room, then wants to come back in 30 seconds later after I've closed the door because the world wasn't exciting as he thought it was out in the hall.
Many sounds:
The sound of people eating.
Loud talking.
The sound of paper or plastic bags being handled.
The sound of rap music.
The sound of loud cars.
The sound of someone talking incessantly.
The sound of music or television playing while I'm concentrating.
Music being played in an office setting.
Little girls dressed like whores.
Intelligent people who think they're more intelligent than they are.
Stupid people who are proud of being stupid.
People who swear just because they can.
Country decor.
Oh boy, fun!

Those are good ones too. *It's just as bad when people blow up at their kids in public... or if they don't seem to realize their kids are running amok.
My sister yelled at me once for not replacing the toilet paper when there were still some on the roll... when I'd actually thought ahead and placed an extra roll on the back of the toilet. And the once she didn't replace the roll even though it was empty, and when I complained she denied it. *But the two of us are the only ones who use that washroom, so unless I was delirious, or it was her.

Good thread aude- thought I was chilled but agree with some above!
A unifying theme for me is anything superficial:
- breast implants
- pimped up cars
- bright coloured clothing (why say 'look at me!'?)
- arrogance- invariably covering up a deficiency
- people who go to the fitness gym for a 'sculptured body' (it's not a 'fitness gym' since most of the members couldn't swim a mile/ run 10 miles/ cycle 40 miles... it's a 'narcissus gym')
- salesman on big commission... don't INTJs just find we can see right through their spiel? The good salesman (who can read people well) recognise it within a minute.
Otherwise I'm easy going. ;)
people who go to the fitness gym for a 'sculptured body' (it's not a 'fitness gym' since most of the members couldn't swim a mile/ run 10 miles/ cycle 40 miles... it's a 'narcissus gym')
Whats wrong with that, i attend a gym. Not to look good and all but to be healthier. I couldnt care about my look. Since i dress in a monochromatic way(all black). But i do agree that there is alot of narcissistic people in the gym staring at that mirror.

Umm what do you mean by 'blow up there kids' comment. To me that just sounded a little bit creepy. And weird thoughts just raced through my head. None of them any good

I think he meant people who go to a fitness gym to weight train and get big annoying and ugly bulging muscles
[hr]
I meant those parents who go into this emotional rush and start yelling at their kids, and then go to the edges of their memory and remember other 'bad' things the kids did and yell about that too... right there in public.

Sure aude- I'm perhaps narrowly considering my peer group of 30 something males.
Yep they're the ones Rei.
Equally, some salesman are excellent and genuinely want to help us make a right purchase, but the majority don't.

Yeah that i understand about the gym, some people just go over board in that kind of situation.
--------------
Ahh those types of parents, there fun to watch but annoying none the less.
I feel soooo sorry for the kids.
Imagine every day of your life like that.
It'd be a miracle if they ever turned out well. Either emotionally messed up, or trying to stay away from home as much as possible and or leave home at an early age. Some people can pull it off, but I'd say that most don't =/
Makes you wonder if thats why there is so many school shootings. All thought i do believe in spare the rod spoil the child type mentality but not to that extent where you verbally abuse the child in a public area. Parents like that should be treated like how they treated there child.

It's entierly possible that that's how the parents were treated.
Afterall, how your parents taught you is the first reference you have as to how to teach your own kids.
Thats true, history has a way of repeating one self. Some parents need to do a self check to see if there really fit to be parents. Cause there seems to me more and more parents doing half-assed version of upbringing. All thats doing is rising kids with no morals at all.

I think so too. I personally don't trust myself as a parent who can provide everything a kid needs; I'm probably not going to have kids if my husband is likewise incompetent. Of course that's considering I ever get married in the first place :D

Oh yeah... though I've learned to keep quiet about this. I've had people take serious offence to me correcting their grammar. Plus, I can't complain because my spelling is horrible. But I definately cringe every time I see it.
Mixed up simple homophones like your and you're, their, they're and there.
People who complain about how other people live their lives.

I used to live with a salesman-type of guy as a roommate...he was one of the few people I blew up at more than once..
I hate salespeople. I grill the hell out of them, they come up short, and then get written off. It's funny because there are other INTJs at work, and they write off salespeople just as quickly as I do.

Yeah, salespeople can be particularly annoying, which is why I almost always prank the telemarketers until they stop calling me all together.
My biggest peeve is most definitely repetition, I cannot stand doing the same thing over and over, nor can I tolerate hearing the same story more than... oh I don't know, three times. Anything repetitive immediately is branded with my mark of disapproval.

This is gonna be fun!
People that profess total knowledge of a subject but are just opinionated bastards
People that think that lots of words equals depth of thought
Women and men in age-inappropriate clothing (no, grandma, you don't look good in that halter top)
People that can't drive their own pace on the highway (i.e. they speed up when you speed up, and slow down when you slow down)
People that run red lights early in the morning (yes, the law still applies at 5AM)
Not putting dirty dishes in the empty dishwasher or not taking clean dishes out of a clean, full dishwasher
Using my tools and not putting them back where you got them from
Cleaning my workspace and yours is a mess
Trying to make me follow YOUR diet plan
Dogs in little outfits
Too much perfume/cologne
ESPN Sportscenter
Starr Jones
Hoochies, hood rats, pimps, and gangstas
Too-loud rap music at 3AM outside my bedroom window
Grown children with keys to my house
…don't get me started!
People who get in my way when I'm trying to get somewhere.
3 Cases:
Case 1: People who walk slowly, and you have no way of passing them as it is a narrow path
Case 2: People who pass you, and then stop to talk to some person who passes by, and isn't smart enough to move to the side of the path before they continue talking.
Case 3: People who are walking at a perpendicular direction to you, and is not paying attention to where they are going, resulting in either I standing there waiting for them to slowly meander by, or they crash into me as I cross in front of them.
Poor drivers which includes but is not limited to people who turn slowly, break too often and for no reason, people who pay more attention to their cell phones than traffic, people who leave too much space between them and the car in front of them, slow drivers, people driving in the left lane that drive slow, slow girly Canadian speed limits (when in Canada), Vancouver drivers(when in Vancouver), people who don't use their turn signals, broken break lights, poorly designed street signs, summer road construction, paying unfair tollway tolls.
That's all I can think of right now.

Those are all good ones. I really hate when people change lanes slowly... or drive really slowly by while you're trying to change lanes.
LOL! Slow girly Canadian speed limits. Not like anyone really pays attention to them anyway. My mother consistantly drives at 130 on a 100 freeway.
One of my more interesting one is when people mix there foods together. I cant fathom the idea of eating every thing together, i prefer eating one item at a time.
People who smell like alcohol, especially in the morning

Oh gosh, I'm not the only one with that habit? I eat all my food seperately even if they're on the same dish. At most I alternate between the carbs and the side dish.
How about:
People who smell like they've been soaked in tobacco non-stop for 5 years.

Yeah its a weird habit, heck even something like soup i have to eat each piece one at a time.
Tobacco i can handle to some degree but whats worse is those elderly woman(sometimes males) wear enough perfume that it almost smells like they bathed in it. Especially in tight confined spaces like elevators, buses or any other place.

my idiosyncracies
1. people talking to me very early in the morning - when i wake up is the time i recollect my thoughts (unfinished businesses.. ideas.. trying to remember dreams.. or just to catch one thought). i HATE distraction coz it breaks my chain of ideas. my sister has realized this already so she never talks to me until 11 am however my mom doesn't. i have told her this a million times already then she's gonna ask me why i'm irrate in the morning?
2. ringing phones - mobile and landline especially when you are watching a movie or in an important meeting. fyi, i always put vibrator mode on (still distracts me especially if i put the phone on the table) and i unplug the phone cord when i am alone at home. however, if it's that important, i control myself from flipping like crazy. if someone wants to call, i always tell my friends or whoever to send me a text message first and the time they are going to call so i won't freak out.
3. *life insurance salesperson - makes you always feel you're a sickly person.
4. when people cruelly crush toothpaste tubes as if they were stress balls - don't they know how to save? always from bottom of the tube for crying out loud and do it neat!
5. people being too generous and putting a lot of food on your plate even if you don't want to eat anymore
6. people with reversed brains - when you tell them to do something they do it otherwise for no particular reason... i love reverse psychology but if it gets to be a routine already, it sucks

10-04-2007, 11:42 PM
1. Early morning and people who enjoy them. I may get up at 7:30 more often then not, but that doesn't mean I like it.
2. People who can't shut up, especially about themselves.
3. People who need help with every little thing.
More but I'm lazy and these are the highest by far.

In the words of George Carlin "I don't have pet peeves I have major psychotic f!@#ing hatreds"
Though I would like to get a bull dog and name him peeve that way I can warn people a about him.
But honestly I would have to say people that pull up to an intersection and leave like two or three car spaces open in front of them. Even when your driving you should give a car length for every 10 miles per hour you are driving but since your speed is zero the space should be less than one. Not 2 not 3 or 4. What are these people doing driven behind Wonder Woman's invisible car or something?

Salespeople are a peeve of mine as well. The problem is twofold:
Salespeople are in place to get as much money from you as possible. You're there to get the best value for your dollar. You may have to work together, but you're not on the same team.
The bigger issue (for INTJs) is that salespeople are trained to manipulate people emotionally. When you tug non-NTs heart strings, you can often pull their purse strings as well. INTJs are relatively immune to emotional manipulation, fiercely value their independence, and have no tolerance for lines of B.S.
This means that within a minute, most salepeople have:
1) Tried too hard to work an emotional angle on me - being too aggressive, trying too hard to sniff out whether there's a sale in here for them or not.
2) Tried to steer me toward what they think is good. I usually know what I'm looking for. If I want their opinion, I will ask.
3) Tried to impress me with some line of B.S. to make themseleves look knowledgable and trustworthy. This has precisely the opposite effect.
To generalize, they've barely opened their mouths before establishing that they're greedy, not interested in my needs, don't know as much as I do, and aren't to be trusted further than they can be thrown. Is it any wonder INTJs hate salespeople?
I've had some good experiences with ones that say hi, then shut up and find prompt answers to my technical questions. Those salespeople get my business. :)

People who are very intelligent and well versed when it comes to one side of an argument, but don't bother to learn about the other side of an argument. For an example, I have an incredibly narrow-minded conservative Christian girl in a medieval history class that I'm taking, who doesn't understand anything about the Catholic church. She proceeds to make an ass of herself by disregarding people's beliefs when she could just as easily read a book, or talk to someone.
People who come up to you and say, "Wow! You're so smart...You're way smarter than I am. Are you some sort of genius."
Yes, I am intelligent...Yes, I know you're a moron...Don't tell me, spend some time learning something.

I can definitely identify with some of these...I will probably repeat some that others have mentioned...
Including the grammar one though my grammar's not impeccable at least online, it annoys me, especially double negatives.
Chat speak. God I hate it. Write out the words! It seriously doesn't take that long!
Definately. It's definitely with an I. It's kind of an odd one. But I cringe when I see it.
Incessant talkers, especially the ones that like to talk about themselves.
People who think they know everything about everything and they're really morons who know nothing about everything.
closed minds. I don't care if you're a Republican, just please, have an open mind. "An Open Mind is a Terrible Thing to Lose"
People who talk LOUDLY so that you can hear every single freaking word even if they're talking to SOMEONE ELSE on the PHONE NEAR you. And when you're around them it's just headache central....
Perfume/cologne,
Really fake people - For example: The Barbies of the world. That speak like they have no brain. And probably don't have a brain anyway.
People who organize my shit. I can't find shit once it's "organized" by that person.
People who waste my time.
People who argue for the sake of arguing.
People who just completely ignore you no matter how right you are and how much proof you have for your statement and think they're so right...
Morning people.
People who interrupt my naps or wake me up in the morning with a phone call. Gosh I hate that. Especially when it's a sales call when I'm at home...
People who interrupt me when I'm actually in the mood working, have a great train of thought and they just interrupt it. It's not cool.
People who say something and don't back it up in an argument. OK you have this statement but it's not backed up. How am I supposed to believe it? And be told that I'm wrong because of it? You have no basis a) for your argument and b) for me to be wrong since it is you who are debating me on a point.
The whole ass crack, cleavage, underwear hanging out thing. I don't need to see it. Otherwise I don't really care.
pretty much all - I suppose thankfully I don't complain? I really don't complain. I have a high tolerance for things outwardly. Inwardly they might annoy me but I won't complain and I'll use my INTJness to get it to not annoy me for a long period of time if one of those happens.... though unfortunately I have family members that display a lot of those traits....and we're around them so much when I'm not in school :(

I went through a phase where I wore bright colors and dyed my hair bright purple. I realized that I probably did that because I used to work in a very SJ setting, having to conform to the strict dress code, so I needed to get it out of my system. Anyway, the INTJ I dated saw the change in appearance, and of course he hated it, LOL.

So you can say another pet peeve would be conforming to a set standard of attire to suit a certain situation, unless you like that :)

Hmm... actually, now I remember that he would ask me why I changed my hair color and why I choose to wear some things, but I could only reply with "because I can"... I guess that was not a good enough reason to him.
Thats weird most intjs wont care if some one changes. COuld been a bad day for him :)

1: People who are constantly laughing at every little thing... Yes, that witty line about the cute boy might've been funny (not) and that line about the roommate equally (not) funny but you don't need to giggle at high screeching decibels 5 seconds apart.
2: People who know I'm busy, see I'm busy, and still interrupt me with mindless chit chat like the weather or seeing the sports game last night.
3: My mother constantly harping on points everytime we meet (my C range grades in science/history) and me giving her the same answer in return. Never fails to change and yet, she's insistent that "You need to just study harder" like that wasn't obvious to me at all before. Gee, thanks. I never thought of that!
4: Loud fellow students out in the hallway stumbling around at 12-1 AM shouting as loud as they can and banging on walls.
5: Driving on a sunny day. I like the sun. I dislike the sun's glare and the fact that my Toyota Celica's so low that the sun can sometimes skirt the blocker anyway. The last thing I need is to be blinded (I already have total peripherary vision in my left eye) and end up crashing.
6: Tying into #5, people who tailgate... in the SLOW lane... then don't turn off at the exit we just passed. Also the reverse with people slowing down to 50 coming up on an exit, NOT getting off, and forcing me to pass them.

People who are very intelligent and well versed when it comes to one side of an argument, but don't bother to learn about the other side of an argument. *For an example, I have an incredibly narrow-minded conservative Christian girl in a medieval history class that I'm taking, who doesn't understand anything about the Catholic church. *She proceeds to make an ass of herself by disregarding people's beliefs when she could just as easily read a book, or talk to someone.
People who come up to you and say, "Wow! *You're so smart...You're way smarter than I am. *Are you some sort of genius."
Yes, I am intelligent...Yes, I know you're a moron...Don't tell me, spend some time learning something.
Nice one, we INTJ's want the big picture that means 2 sides, ok I lied their is 3 sides; if you wanted 3rd person [that would be you]. Great summary, I do see this from time to time; hey at least you don't have to worry the spotlight is toward you.

I can definitely identify with some of these...I will probably repeat some that others have mentioned...
Including the grammar one though my grammar's not impeccable at least online, it annoys me, especially double negatives.
Chat speak. *God I hate it. Write out the words! It seriously doesn't take that long!
Definately. *It's definitely with an I. *It's kind of an odd one. But I cringe when I see it.
Incessant talkers, especially the ones that like to talk about themselves. *
People who think they know everything about everything and they're really morons who know nothing about everything.
closed minds. *I don't care if you're a Republican, just please, have an open mind. *"An Open Mind is a Terrible Thing to Lose"
People who talk LOUDLY so that you can hear every single freaking word even if they're talking to SOMEONE ELSE on the PHONE NEAR you. *And when you're around them it's just headache central....
Perfume/cologne,
Really fake people - For example: The Barbies of the world. *That speak like they have no brain. *And probably don't have a brain anyway.
People who organize my shit. *I can't find shit once it's "organized" by that person. *
People who waste my time.
People who argue for the sake of arguing.
People who just completely ignore you no matter how right you are and how much proof you have for your statement and think they're so right...
Morning people. *
People who interrupt my naps or wake me up in the morning with a phone call. *Gosh I hate that. Especially when it's a sales call when I'm at home...People who interrupt me when I'm actually in the mood working, have a great train of thought and they just interrupt it. *It's not cool.
People who say something and don't back it up in an argument. *OK you have this statement but it's not backed up. How am I supposed to believe it? And be told that I'm wrong because of it? *You have no basis a) for your argument and b) for me to be wrong since it is you who are debating me on a point.
The whole ass crack, cleavage, underwear hanging out thing. *I don't need to see it. * Otherwise I don't really care.
pretty much all - I suppose thankfully I don't complain? I really don't complain. *I have a high tolerance for things outwardly. *Inwardly they might annoy me but I won't complain and I'll use my INTJness to get it to not annoy me for a long period of time if one of those happens.... though unfortunately I have family members that display a lot of those traits....and we're around them so much when I'm not in school :( *
Alright I'm stopping haha.
I can really related to that, actually the sales calls are mostly from Overseas, like in China and India. Please speak English, if your gonna make a sale use English, the native language does not work in the States. When you speak in another language the chances making a sell is less to none. This does not means, I dislike Asians, sort of speak. But it kinda does make a whole alot of sense. Alot of people in the US, speaks English, right? Last time I checked, unless I'm in the wrong country.
Oh yeah, as for the annonances, lets say I was in your class. Of course, you don't know I'm an INTJ. Would that make you feel alittle better and exchange the frustration chats? Then laugh it off, definitely we will make more noise then the loud one's, but its all in INTJ code. No one have a clue what your talking about; the chances we're talking about space or something.

Another one for me is after eating when people put napkins on their plates when there's still food on it... especially wet food. *:yuck: personal peeve.
- When you're in a class, and someone thinks it's funny to ask dumb 'what if' questions, thus slowing the class down.
- When I'm accused of being a homophobe for saying something critical about someone who just happens to be gay.
- The sounds of people eating, the radio, and people's voices in general.
- When girls insist on being treated like equals and demand rights, yet portray themselves as objects and victims.
- When a fly buzzes around my head for god knows how long, and when I finally leave and come back with a fly swatter, it's gone.
- How some animal rescue groups will spend hundreds of dollars to save one sick or injured animal, but euthanize hundreds of healthy animals because there is not enough money to pay for more housing and staff.
- Animal rights activists.
- The words Chat, Veggie, Foods, Meal, Yummy, Tasty, Belly, Bunny, Tummy, Fats, Minerals, Supper, Sodium, Grain, Chow, Sample, and Slurp.
- When the first words you hear from someone is 'Im bored.'
- When people say "Deal.'
- When people say 'You were a baby once too, you know.' in reaction to me claiming I dislike babies. Just because I was a baby once doesn't mean I like them. I'm sure everyone has been something th at they didn't like before.

Just happened to me today...
Burning my mouth on hot items!! Granted, this case was self induced but still...
We have this swank hot chocolate machine in the college cafe so just before class I wanted one 'cause it's cold out anyway. I fill it up about 3/4ths and deem this good mentally. I literally went, "This is great" and then pushed my luck :-/ I decided that it couldn't hurt for another second. Thing with this machine is you press the button and it takes a second for it to push the hot chocolate out. Low and behold, I have it suddenly at the brim! It's at that point of, I can't put anything in it and if I dare to move it it'll all spill over so I take several sips and my poor tongue paid for it :-X
This annoy anybody else? (Maybe it's the fact I became mentally moronic for a second that's really bugging me...)

I hate salespeople. *I grill the hell out of them, they come up short, and then get written off. *It's funny because there are other INTJs at work, and they write off salespeople just as quickly as I do.
Not to pick on you specifically, but this one especially caught my eye. I used to sell cars. I was *not* your typical salesperson. I actually do not like the stereotypical salesperson. While I love a challenge and all, I will never, ever again be a salesperson. I did it for several years. I knew more about the product than anyone except the techs (I sold cars), and used that knowledge to help customers and coworkers. Customers rarely appreciated this. Coworkers tried to abuse it (I wouldn't let them). It makes me angry to hear salespeople degraded, even though I understand why. It makes me angry, because most people don't stop to think that the salesperson is actually a person with a life and bills and humanity. What makes me the most upset is that people think car salespeople make tons of money (heck, the dealerships encourage prospective salespeople to think the same thing), but it's not true. Even the top salesperson in the dealership made little more than "just enough" for him to get by -- and he was selling a lot of cars. Most new car sales earn a salesperson $100-$200 dollars...that's it. Compare that many IT positions make about $40-$50 an hour, but it takes several hours of work (maybe over days) for the salesperson to finally sell the car. It's just not worth it. And that is why bitching about salespeople irks me. It's also why I don't sell anymore. And, lastly, it's why good people don't stay in sales.
*steps off soapbox :-/
I can't stand people who walk/drive slow. Get out of the fast lane, I'm driving efficiently here.

INTJ: The outside contractor
...
RECREATION: INTJs are often baffled by the strange and incomprehensible recreational rituals of other people, such as going to parties, watching television, and having sex. Instead, they prefer to spend their leisure time installing twin missile launchers in their cars to deter tailgaters and playing chess with megalomaniac CEOs of the Tyrell corporation.
COMPATIBILITY: Silly person, INTJs don't have relationships! They may, however build their own friends.
Famous INTJs include J. F. Sebastian and Sgt. Apone.
Hmmm...coincidence? I think not. There clearly seems to be a correlation between INTJ-ness and loathing tailgating.

Nearly everything can serve to piss me off if I'm moody enough.
The usual culprits are loud open-mouth chewing, excessive talking that is fast and choppy, being tapped repeatedly, having my name called repeatedly, or people being too close to my territory/room when I am stressed out (having a closed door just isn't enough sometimes- people failing to respect this rare need of mine for extreme autonomy can send me into a manic-depressive state).
~Oh, and I almost forgot to add:
When people bitch about my friends.
People that are always quick to criticize or correct every single thing I say or do, and therefore force me to be on emotional guard in which I have to remind myself to control my temper around them, 24/7.
People who can always find something to bitch about.
People who give a shit about everything.

How many of us share similar pet peeves?
Mine are mostly about accuracy. Here are four:
1) People say "pick a number between 1 and 10." But, what they actually mean is "pick a number from 1 through 10." If I assume they mean integers only, the first statement includes 2 through 9, the second 1 through 10.
2) People saying something like "increased 200%." Let's say the topic is the maximum speed of a car. If it was 100mph before, we use the word "increase" to mean it's more now. So, an increase of 1% would mean it's 101mph now. Thus, a 200% increase would result in 300mph. But, many people would say "increased 200%" and actually mean "increased 100%," or "it is 200% as fast," which would be 200mph.
3) Poor logical grammar. If I say "I do not believe [x]," many people take me to mean that the antithesis of [x]. For example, if I say "I do not believe it is true," many people think I mean "I believe it is false." They forget the alternative of "I do not have a belief." Agnosticism lies in that alternative :-)
4) People who cannot tolerate uncertainty. For example, during the OJ trial, my friends wanted to know my take: "Is he Guilty or Innocent?" I said I didn't know. They each seemed to have a deep need to settle one way or the other, and wanted me to as well, whereas I did not. For me, certainty is hard won, and I tend to be "in the middle" a lot.
Anybody else?

So 10 minute delay - unless that person informs me that he/she is going to be late, or has some viable excuse such as "The train was stuck in a tunnel" - I'll probably in an extremely bad mood.
Oh, and when people SUDDENLY change their plans and decides to tell me a minute before the moment when the plan goes into action. How am I supposed to organize my day if you suddenly change your mind and I base my schedule on that thing I was supposed to do with you? Argh.

I like to plan--if only hastily and in my head--how things will unfold, what I'll do and/or get done.

Ignorant people, the stupid masses I have to live all to close to on a daily basis. The mindless consistency of their pitiful and ultimately meaningless lives barks at me like so many annoying little chiwawas.
People are my peeve, they disgust me. They get up everyday thinking they are making some difference in life when they are not, with their short sighted and small perspective on the picture.
I’ am talking about those people who get obsessed with “Who slept with who?” and “He/She did what?!” It’s so monotonous, if I could just shut these people up the world would be oh so much quieter.
Irrational, emotional, inefficient people who see not the forest for the trees but the trees as toilet paper for their asses. These people I consider my enemies, people who conform so well to the constraints of religions, culture, and society.

It drives me crazy when someone says goodbye, or otherwise indicates they're going to leave, then stands around talking for a few more minutes. Bonus peeve if they keep saying goodbye and then keep standing there talking.
It's like when they say they're leaving, my "closure" procedure is triggered, and then it's left hanging when they don't leave. It puts me on edge.

Actually... doors.
When the hinge of the inside door is on the same side as the handle of the outer door (ie. doors open in opposite directions). So lets say you're heading out with a backpack, purse, another bag, and a travel mug of tea. You have to essentially squeeze all of that into the <90 angle of the inner door (the inner door banging open and denting the wall) just to get to the handle of the outer door. Open the outer door all the way, reaching back and stretching your rotater cuff to grad the inner handle and close the inner door.
How hard is it to hang doors so that they open on the same side?

Salespeople are a peeve of mine as well. The problem is twofold:
Salespeople are in place to get as much money from you as possible. You're there to get the best value for your dollar. You may have to work together, but you're not on the same team.
The bigger issue (for INTJs) is that salespeople are trained to manipulate people emotionally. When you tug non-NTs heart strings, you can often pull their purse strings as well. INTJs are relatively immune to emotional manipulation, fiercely value their independence, and have no tolerance for lines of B.S.
This means that within a minute, most salepeople have:
1) Tried too hard to work an emotional angle on me - being too aggressive, trying too hard to sniff out whether there's a sale in here for them or not.
2) Tried to steer me toward what they think is good. I usually know what I'm looking for. If I want their opinion, I will ask.
3) Tried to impress me with some line of B.S. to make themseleves look knowledgable and trustworthy. This has precisely the opposite effect.
To generalize, they've barely opened their mouths before establishing that they're greedy, not interested in my needs, don't know as much as I do, and aren't to be trusted further than they can be thrown. Is it any wonder INTJs hate salespeople?
I've had some good experiences with ones that say hi, then shut up and find prompt answers to my technical questions. Those salespeople get my business. :)
hahahah I am a buyer...I love it.

People saying "Do (a noun)." Sometimes it makes sense, but in general it makes no grammatical sense (and often no practical sense) to "do" a noun.
What do you mean to do that has something to do with that noun?! The noun itself in no way defines the action.

When people preface whatever they're going to say with "uhhh" or "ummm," particularly on on a subject they seem to know a lot about. It makes them seem arrogant. It's even more annoying if they add a "well" in front of the "uhhh" or "ummm." They need to either shut their fly trap or get to the point.

Salespeople are a peeve of mine as well. The problem is twofold:
Salespeople are in place to get as much money from you as possible. You're there to get the best value for your dollar. You may have to work together, but you're not on the same team.
The bigger issue (for INTJs) is that salespeople are trained to manipulate people emotionally. When you tug non-NTs heart strings, you can often pull their purse strings as well. INTJs are relatively immune to emotional manipulation, fiercely value their independence, and have no tolerance for lines of B.S.
This means that within a minute, most salepeople have:
1) Tried too hard to work an emotional angle on me - being too aggressive, trying too hard to sniff out whether there's a sale in here for them or not.
2) Tried to steer me toward what they think is good. I usually know what I'm looking for. If I want their opinion, I will ask.
3) Tried to impress me with some line of B.S. to make themseleves look knowledgable and trustworthy. This has precisely the opposite effect.
To generalize, they've barely opened their mouths before establishing that they're greedy, not interested in my needs, don't know as much as I do, and aren't to be trusted further than they can be thrown. Is it any wonder INTJs hate salespeople?
I've had some good experiences with ones that say hi, then shut up and find prompt answers to my technical questions. Those salespeople get my business. :)
Yeah, that sounds really familiar. It gets even worse when they try to insult you if you don`t want to buy their product: "How can you not see that this contract is only advantageous for you? Only a really <insert insult here> person wouldn`t see that".
With that angle you will get NOTHING from me, except maybe some well-deserved sarcasm.
Something else that annoys me to no end:
When you call a service hotline because of technical problems and you
(a) are connected a reeaally annoying computer voice which emphasizes the words all wrong,
(b) you have to talk to that computer voice for ten minutes before you get anywhere,
(c) when the computer on the other end of the line finally connects you to an actual persons phone, you have to listen to cheap computerised so-called classical music for another five minutes before anyone answers the phone (get decent music which doesn`t start repeating itself every 20 seconds, please!) and
(d) when s.o. finally answers, it turns out, he/she can`t help you at all but gives you another number, so that you not only
(e) paid the 1,99€/min while talking to the technician in vain, but also have to
(f) go through the same procedure again elsewhere.
So at that point I have probably wasted at least half an hour of my life and 10-15€ on phone bills and gotten nowhere.
That always makes me :irked::shout::furious:

2. creating excessive drama out of a simple situation that has a clear solution
3. repeatedly making the same mistakes or repetition of something that has already been stated

I hate it when somebody tries to direct/beckon me with hand gestures.
Weak people who only rude to customer service people especially waiters because they know they can't retaliate
People who say "i'll let you go" at the end of a phone call
The word "selfish"
The word "coincidence" I prefer co-incidence

-When people talk nonstop during class when the teacher has told them every day more than five times to shut up. Especially when you sit right in front of them
-People who ask me the answers for every thing
-Smiley faces without noses
-Hannah Montana/The Jonas Brothers/The Twilight Series
-Teachers that don't understand that you are paying attention,but you don't have anything to say because you already know it all
-Point systems associated with participation. It's worse when you sit behind the teacher
-People who look at you, and gives you a look that says:No way am I talking to you.
-People who pay attention to you a little bit, and then just stop paying attention
-My French class
-Pe0Pl3 Woh rwite lke tis
-Popular morons
That's all I can think of for now...
And I agree with almost everything else on this (ohhh...I just forgot what it's called)list-post thingy.(I hope that works)
Hasway added to this post, 3 minutes and 18 seconds later...
I hate when I say "excuse me," and the person blocking my path just stands and looks at me like a dumb ass.
It's worse in school. All the people talk in huge groups, and clog up the halls. I gave up on saying "excuse me" a while ago, and now I just push my way through.

I'm not sure if someone has posted something similar to this one or not (as I did not take time to read the 7 pages of responses), but a pet peeve that really annoys me is:
The media explaining that Senator Bill Frist was succeeded by Harry Reid. Senator Frist was succeeded by Senator Corker! Majority Leader Frist was succeeded by Majority Leader Harry Reid. Get it right folks, Harry Reid has absolutely nothing to do with Tennessee and therefore cannot succeed our senator.

People who think they are cool when they're being foolish.
Immaturity.
Repetitive noises.
People eating with their mouths open.
Incessant sniffing of the nose.
People who can't stop when asked to stop.
Rap.
People who are obsess with things to the point of not shutting up about how bloody awesome it is (Twilight).
People who don't brush their teeth.
People who stand too close to me.
People who yell in my ear, step on the back of my shoes, constantly interrupt me when I'm working.
People?
