Peeve... When someone posts all their personal info online (forum, social site etc...) and then can not handle it when others give their opinion or advice.
Don't post your personal info on a public site if you don't want input.
Another thing that really bothers me is the ones that breed 2 cats or dogs together knowing there is a genetic problem but they try anyway hoping that at least a few 'good' ones come out in the litter to sell. That is just wrong.
My daughter met someone that was trying to make a 'new' breed with cats. One was a Rag-doll, the other a Norwegian something..anyways, there is a chance that the babies could come out blind in one eye from one of the parents, but they still take the chance to breed them hoping to sell the kittens that come out OK. That is wrong, wrong, wrong!

Back years ago, if 2 dogs 'get together' with the result of new puppies, they were called 'mutts' and actually difficult to give away.
Now, people are breeding 2 different breeds together, calling them made up 'designer' names and pegging a big price tag on them.
Get real. Even tho the dogs may come out 'cute' they are still mixed breed (mutts). lol
We laugh about the mutts all the time. I think it all started with the poodles and all the dorky names they come up with.
I would never pay big bucks for a designer breed or a pure bred. I just don't believe in paying that much money for something that lives for such a short time. I'll take a mutt from the humane society instead. My cousin paid $900 for a golden retriever pup. I thought that way too expensive.

Are they posting it for a critique? Otherwise if they don't ask for one, people shouldn't be giving one. I know this from my design forum. If you want a critique you have to ask for it. Also, a critique should be constructive and offering ways to improve. If someone just says it sucks or it's stupid that isn't helping anyone.
Usually the ones that say something sucks can't even do better. That goes for a lot of things. Those types just like to get under other's skin.
I also think that if someone asks for an opinion and then argues with everyone who is truly trying to help then why bother asking. I've seen that, too.

It's in a thread such as the chit chat thread here...
example (actual post)
Quote:
Poster 1: I can not decide whether i want to take my husband (who everyone knows) with me to my high school reunion or my boyfriend, so that i can show him off because he is a sexy body builder.
Poster 2: why do you have a bf & husband???
Poster 1: because my husband & i are seperated & only live together for the kids! dopnt judge me, you have no idea the misery my husband has put me through over the years!
poster 1 & others:
-why would you live with him, even for the kids if he makes you miserable?
-does the bf know you live with your hubby?
-sounds like you like the bf to show him off, if he isn't someone you truly care about maybe you shouldn't take him to something as important as a class reunion.
Poster 1: i wasn't asking for advice, just making a comment, you all need to mind your business!!!
IMO if you post your business on a public forum it is up for discussion, however IF you don't want it discussed then don't post it on a "discussion" forum.

I think a forum about something specific like that (design forum) it would be different & have different rules of thumb (so to speak).
All the forums that i am part of are open discussion forums, none specific.

Ah, yes, I see what you mean. Maybe she should take both to the reunion. That should give her all the attention she needs when a fight breaks out.
LOL LOL I just read the post about the b/f, or husband thing. I for one can understand the need for living with the husband for the kids blah, blah, could be a financial thing or health insurance thing or whatever, and having a b/f cuz she is separated etc. to some extent. There can be reasons there that no one that doesn't live there could understand...but lol why post it and then gripe when curious people want to know?
It's what makes the world go around and keeps everyone in awe. lol
Like I figure. Don't air your dirty laundry out for everyone to see if you can't stand it if someone points out the skid marks. lol

LOL That is so funny Patti! I have never heard that saying before. I will have to remember it so I can use it some time!
lol It just popped in my head as I was rambling on. lol
Have no idea if I heard it somewhere or just thought it up... just what I figured at the time I was writing.
lol
Maybe they will make a wall sign with it on sometime. lol I'll put it in my laundry room.

Which is my point exactly... don't post anything on a "PUBLIC" forum that you don't want made "PUBLIC"! How hard a concept is that to grasp, seriously?!!?
People will judge you & question you all they want & that is their right, since you posted it. Like a celeb who's life is in the public eye, you too are posting your life to the public eye in posting it online... she did not get that & ended up leaving the group lol see ya!
I have a pet peeve or 2 or 8. Not sure if I mentioned this one before, but there is a couple in town where I live that have to write these super long letters to the editor all the time. They are very opinionated and often political. They will argue with anyone and always have to get the last word. They aren't very popular as you can guess. They come off as know-it-alls and try to top everyone else. Most people have gotten to the point where they just ignore this couple and don't even bother anymore knowing that they will get blasted by them no matter what is said.
Of course, whenever I see them around town or go by their house that is all I can think of. What a way for people to remember you by. I'd rather not be hated like that. Whether I agree with their views or not, I certainly wouldn't want to converse with them just because they know all.
All my adult life I've gotten bugged by people that feel they should tell me to have children. Some have even gotten angry with me for not having any. They then list all the reasons I should have kids that I don't even want. They feel the need to run my life for me. I can't believe the things people say sometimes. They just can't handle it that I don't want kids and won't leave it alone at that. I've had to defend my decision so many times.
I've gotten to the point that I've told people that I can't have kids just to keep from having to listen to them lecture me. I've even had people make fun of that like making fun of people that can't have kids is funny.
I can't win no matter what.
One of my former friends used to have people ask her why she only had one kid.

JUST SAY NO! lol
who cares what they think, they shouldn't care if you have kids or not, it a matter of choice & you choose not to, good for you! Why bring kids into this messed up world right now anyway!
I love my kids & wouldn't turn back the hands of time & do anything different, but i hate that they are living in this bad economy & suffering right along with the rest of us. For some reason after raising mine and now that they are adults i truly dislike being around kids, which is why i'm having doubts about the new man in my life, he has a kid & i just prefer to date someone who has a much much older kid if at all, having been a single mom u might call me selfish, but oh well he asked me to meet his daughter at the end of this month when she comes to stay a week with him... ugh i'm thinking i'd rather stab myself with a pointy object.

I have 4 kids, grand kids, the whole nine yards. It's who I am. It is what I always wanted to be. A Mom.
But that doesn't mean I would push that on anyone else. Everyone has to do what is best for them. I really feel sorry for those that have children or get married, or whatever because that is what 'everyone' thinks they should do. Then you aren't happy, the kids will feel something isn't right, your whole life is a fake.
Be who you are and what you know you need to be. If kids aren't what you want in life. Great. Be happy that you know yourself well enough to say, hey, no way.
Same with those that choose not to marry. If you are single and love it, what is wrong I ask? You have just one life, if that is how you choose to live it, don't make excuses or let people tell you different. Just tell them until their life is perfect than they should be looking into theirs and not yours.
I think most people that make a big deal out of it are not only rude, but have a life that they aren't happy with. Maybe they are sorry they had kids, or got married or whatever.
So guess that is my pet peeve..people that can't let others be what they want when it comes to children or marriage.

I have a pet peeve. Sale people that disrespect when a young adult is trying to ask a question.
I had my teen son, high school student, as tall as I am, go up to the sales lady to ask if we could get some help on something I was looking at. She continued to help others adults around him, and they in turn pushed him aside. He was getting no where.
I had to go up to the lady and within a minute had her attention and got her to not only answer me, but get the manager for further assistance. My son just looked at me and said, well, so that's how it's done. He then wanted to know if businesses could get in trouble for child discrimination.
He felt that way because at the same store, (store going out of business, everything marked way down), he asked the same sales lady earlier if they would take a lower price on something I was looking at. She told him no. That was that. When I asked the same sales lady she right away told me a maybe and when talking to the manager she sent over he offered to take the half price off down to much less.
That was just wrong.

Pet peeve: When someone starts a sentence with, "No offense, but..." and you know that is exactly what they will do next. "No offense, but I'm going to offend you."

Oh I agree with that.
I hate when people take their time getting to a point when they have something to ask you or tell you too. Just spit it out and tell me! lol But then I'm that way actually, I totally hate to ask for something and it's hard for me to say something that I think may hurt someone too.

That is a peeve of mine as well... If you mean no offense, but have something to say that will offend me, Please just don't say it! However if you choose to say it anyway, be prepared to take it when i return the favor.
Peeve: When people assume stuff... example - Yesterday in the Georgia airport we sit down to eat & the waitress was very nice. We had our Aunt with us (brought her back from Mexico with us to visit us for couple wks) & she speaks only spanish, so of course during our entire dinner we spoke Spanish.
As we prepare to pay the bill & leave the waitress says "You guys have a safe trip back to Puerto Rico or wherever you come from"... Ummmm what??? That's straight up rude IMO & i let her know it!

That just shows the ignorance of the waitress.
Sometimes we have fun by getting my daughter to speak Spanish or even switch and throw a little bit of Chinese or French in the conversation (as if we I know what she is saying) lol But I know people wonder where she is from since she is such a 'white' girl. lol
But what makes me so mad is when she went into her high school (after being in a duo language school since Kinder) and some of the kids totally insisted she was Mexican because she could speak Spanish. They actually said, she HAD to be Mexican IF she could speak so well. They couldn't understand how she could not be if she spoke the language. lol
Sometimes people can be so dumb.
