Pet Peeves....

[Wag]

It's worse on TV - UK and Australian Soap Operas change the actors often without the character being absent. In one episode it can be one actor, and in the next a completely different one.


I also hate DVD releases of franchises and TV series where the packaging and/or its graphics format change so they are not uniform.

And DVD box-sets that are released before a series ends (for example, a box set of series 1-3 of Battlestar Galactica released whilst series 4 is being released)

Oh, I don't know about that.
They recently changed the actress who played Libby in Neighbours because she got sick. But she is commin' back !

[Wag]

That happened with Selene in Home and Away too - she was a really attractive blonde for about three weeks, then the original, somewhat less attractive Selene came back.

Maybe they they don't do it as often now - it's been a while since I watched Neighbours and Home and Away but they did it quite often. It's happened in Corronation Street and Emmerdale too that I can remember.

People on the IMDB who say "the worst film I've ever seen".

They should watch the stuff I see, then they'll know what bad really is.

That's the truth. Sometimes people just feel the need to make a point in their comments, as if their opinion really matters. Look through any place where people can submit their opinion (imdb, netflix, newegg, allrecipes all come to mind), and a little browsing shows that some people have submitted 100s of comments, and EVERY one of them was either the worst experience of their life or the best experience of their life. Some people just need to get over themselves.

On that note, don't you just love the comments and reviews done where a person slams whatever they are reviewing, and polish off their 3-paragraph review with "I'm glad I never bought one" or "I'm not going to try it", showing they are reviewing something they've never dealt with. Sometimes they spend the whole review talking about how good ANOTHER product of the same function is. It's just f-ing stupid.

Also, don't you just love it when someone reviews something and not only points out that they don't like it, but also go on to the "condition to insult", like "anyone that likes (insert movie/show/game title) is (insert insult here)". One step beyond that is the people that hate something like a movie, show, game, whatever and speak of how it should have never been made. If you don't like it, fine, , but geez, get over wishing to force your tastes on others. I understand people saying off the cuff remarks about how something is a waste, we've all disliked something to a point of thinking it's creation was a waste of resources, but when it turns into a lifelong goal, a person should seek help.

People who show up late for movies, concerts, sporting events, etc., and make a whole row of people stand up so they can walk in front of them to get to their seats.  These are the same people who usually need to get in and out of the row 5 or 6 times to go to the bathroom and the concession stand.  And they NEVER seem to have seats at the end of the row . . . they're always somewhere in the middle.

The people on IMDB have no clue what is a bad movie or what is a good one.
And doggett is right, they haven't seen a really bad film. I'm sure people on this board have seen stuff that would make their tiny heads explode.

It's true, some people just can't differentiate between "worst movie ever made" and "something that does not suit my taste".

It's when they say stuff like "The Godfather pt. 3 is the worst film ever made", or The Hulk or something....
Watch Dracula AD 1972, then get back to me !

Is that one of the Hammer Studio Dracula films or made by someone else?

Another pet peeve of mine is when people double park their cars.
Especially at my apartment complex.
Parking here is extremely limited and if you don't get a spot in time, you have to park way away from the building.
There are two idiots at my apartment complex who always feel the need to double park.  They'll pull up next to a car, but leave 10 feet of clearance between their car and the one next to them, effectively taking up two spots. (the ideal clearance should be about 3-5 feet between cars)
It's gotten to the point where I'm considering leaving a nasty anonymous note under their wiper blade telling them that if they do it again, their tires will be slashed.
Of course, I would never actually do that, but a nasty note just might be a successful deterrant.

I also dislike it when people turn into a parking spot and don't bother to straighten their car out.  Their car will be parked at an angle in the parking space.
It takes 10 seconds to put it in reverse and straighten the car out in the parking spot.  But these people are just too lazy to be bothered.
One of my neighbors drives one of those huge Ford F150 trucks and he does that crap all the time.

People who hate ST Voyager !!!

People who want to debate the religion and the whole does God exist issue on a forum board. Why can't people accept that no one is going to change another's mind about their religion or view on if God exist or not through a forum board. All it ever does is cause people to get into a flame war.

People who argue over the internet.

People who drive the wrong way in a parking lot. If the lane has arrows and spaces pointing in the opposite direction than you are going then you shouldn't go that way.

Reality Television and calling people who are on it celebrities. Personally I think the creators of all these shows, the idiots at the various networks which air them, and anyone who appear on these shows need to be gassed.

Chihuahua, or as I call them Tribble Dogs. If there ever was a breed of dog that needed euthanised in mass it's the Chihuahua. These yapping little walking crap factories need to be eradicated from the face of the Earth.
