D2's pet peeves
Feb. 27th, 2006 01:13 pm1. People who act stupid.
When I worked at a movie theater, the stupidity of people never ceased to amaze me.
Lady: Hi, I’d like a ticket to [insert popular movie opening today].
D2: I’m sorry, I’m afraid we’re sold out. Would you like a ticket to a different movie?
Lady: Are you sure you can’t sell me one ticket?
D2: Sorry, I’m afraid the computer won’t allow me to sell a ticket to a move that has sold out.
Lady: Just go ahead and sell me a ticket and I’ll sit on the stairs.
D2: …
Teen: I’d like two tickets to American Pie.
D2: Sure, can I see your ID?
Teen: Okay. Here it is.
D2: So you’re only 17?
Teen: Yes.
D2: You’re only allowed to buy one ticket to a rated R movie when you are 17. You must be at least 18 years old to buy two or more tickets.
Teen: Alright, here’s my girlfriend’s ID.
D2: Hmmm, she’s only 16.
Gf: I’m only three days away from turning 17!
D2: Sorry, I cannot sell you the ticket.
Gf: Why not?
D2: If you have a problem, you can speak to my manager who is standing right behind me.
Teen: Um, what are you doing standing in front of the theater to American Pie?
D2: I’m here because my manager wants me to check the IDs of people going into the movie theater. Could I see yours?
Teen: Uh, I left mine in my car.
D2: Well then, I’m sure it’s not a long walk back to get it for you and your girlfriend.
Teen: Yeah, I’ll be right back.

2. Going to see a movie in a movie theater.
This is related to pet peeve number one. I honestly do not like going to the movie theater because I was mentally scarred from working at the movie theater. Those bad memories are written down in one of my paper journals. I prefer not to mention them too often.
3. People who do not reply to important emails.
This applies to group projects and such. I hate group projects because too often I’ve had that one person who simply cannot be found or contacted when you need him. So annoying.
4. Repeating the same point in an argument, but LOUDER.
I quickly learned to hate my student senate for this reason. We would waste at least half an hour because some people would love to say the same thing over and over. Just because you say your point louder doesn’t make you are any more right.
5. People who hide their true thoughts and opinions.
They say that you often hate the things about yourself. I prefer to guard my true thoughts and opinions because I honestly don’t think most people can handle them.
6. Long, boring lectures.
Actually, I’m not so sure if this is a pet peeve as I sleep through most of them. But I’ll list it to be on the safe side.
7. People who say “I have a secret, but I can’t tell you.”
The same principle applies to somebody who laughs out loud but then doesn’t tell you what they are laughing about. I’d tell you why I hate these kinds of people, but I couldn't tell you.
