I also hate passive-aggressive mindgames. :evil:

It happens to me at least twice a month, if not twice a week. And the people I'm talking about know I need to be told when I'm bothering them, because I have difficulty reading them.

Ugh. I hate it when people are passive-aggressive. I tend to cut those people out of my life. I have all the drama I need already. ;)

My current pet peeve is indecision. :evil:

My current pet peeve is people who do not understand that there are more options than "I'm Right and You're Wrong" and "You're Right and I'm Wrong," because God forbid the world exist in shades of Grey and we can both be right, and GOD dammit, but I can't stand people who automatically assume an argument is about being right. Maybe I'm just arguing with you because it amuses me to watch you overreact like a little child. Maybe the fact that you're an idiot who says things like, "I don't know why I argue with you," or, better yet, "I'm done arguing with you," and then continue to do so! If you don't want to argue with me, you have two choices. One, you can just, I dunno. STOP ARGUING WITH ME. Two, you can stop presenting your own god damn opinion as objective fact. Also, when you do so, and your fiance agrees with me, we're not 'siding against you.' You are WRONG. PERIOD. He and I argue all the God Damned time, and you know what? WHEN WE ARE WRONG WE ADMIT IT, AND WHEN IT'S PROVEN WE ARE WRONG WE DON'T THROUGH A GOD DAMNED HISSY FIT. JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BRING SOMEONE UP THINKING THAT THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS AND TEACH A LITTLE GIRL THAT CRYING GETS HERE WHAT SHE WA-

I think I'm gonna have to move out. And considering that I think they're on the rocks as it is, well.

As a corollary to this, someone I know apparently told a mutual friend that we had a "tiff" - and I didn't even know about it! First I heard was when the mutual friend mentioned it, after I remarked that so-and-so had been behaving strangely toward me. And, yeah, she's doing the whole passive-aggressive thing. Conversations with a couple more mutual friends have revealed that she's done the same thing to other of our friends.

Gah! We are not in summer camp or elementary school. We are mature adults! :-x

My biggest Peeve has to be people that violate my personal space. There is nothing wrong with my hearing, but some people find it neccessary to actually breathe on you when they are speaking, or put there hands on you to draw you in closer, as if proximity will further reinforce whatever point it is they are trying to make. It gets worse when alcohol is added. It seems like every time I go out I run into that one drunk who doesnt think that I have enough spit in my eye.

My current pet peeve is when the storm sirens go off, and you can't figure out for your life what it's about. I checked the tv, and it just has a thunderstorm and flash flood warning. :?

I hate it when people get angry with me and get all quiet and sulky instead of arguing with me. I'm ready for a good argument, so bring it on! :D
