I actually say stuff like "mmm hmm" when people say "excuse me". It isn't that I'm trying to say that they're in MY way, it's just that I'm too lazy to even give a full sentence response. In my case it's laziness, rather than an attempt at being a dick.
I've got too many pet peeves, but while we're on the subject of women, I'm going to with "lets be friends". In many cases I'd rather just not be friends with a female if she doesn't want to go out with me. This sounds heartless, but I can explain. First of all, I already have a ton of female friends, and about half of them are those women that I decided to be "just friends" with. It sucks if you continue to have feelings for them, but they go on and meet other guys or talk to you about the guys that they like and act as if you NEVER admitted interest in them or something. I don't get that.
In fact, I'll just say that the games that women play in general are a major pet peeve. No offense to the women of the board (all what...two, three of you?) but women are often times just....completely illogical.
And thats just pet peeves regarding women. I've got a ton, which I may post if this thread hangs around long enough.

I am in the same boat with you Catalyst. Whenever I invite girls to get some coffee they automatically think that I am in love with them or some shit like that. I got stood up so many times. Most recent one is when this one broad agreed to meet me there but when it comes to that day, she flakes out.
Bitch, I am just trying to get to know you. Do you really think that I am some sort of love starved Asian asshole? If anything I just wanna cum on your face.
THANK YOU! Same mind frequency! THANK YOU.
Oh I so got a story for you dude, it involves a bottle of 151... yeah that's about it. Anyways, there is this girl I like and trying to get with has been a bit of an awkward situation. So I set up a date with her since she is an extremely busy person give her two weeks in advance [events before then we share a bunch of stuff together so I am ready to take it to the next level]. So I get burned completely. Fine eff you, your missing out on the best thing that has ever happened to you.
One week later its a buddy's birthday and we are in the same circle of friends. I didn't expect her to show up but she did. Not even apologizing to me for completely burning me after I left a message, set the place, saved money all I get is a hello hug and then ignored for the rest of the night and blown off. Oh being a raging drunk that night never felt so good while being held back from friends to not cause a scene. Seriously, this all could of been avoided with a simple no and lets be friends... which leads me to Iron D's statement.

I am totally going to go on your end and slowly reach that point.

I use to drink 151 too. Not exactly over a girl but in order to get to sleep. That puts me out pretty fast. Would I ever go back to drinking that? Yes, yes, I would. Shit burns but for some odd reason I like it.

I hate bad service in restaurants or other service oriented stores.
If it's really busy, if they are polite and apologize if there was a problem with the service, that's OK. Things happen, people make mistakes.
I'm talking about the "I am giving you bad service and I don't give a shit, I hate my job and my life" people. Fake that you are happy, I don't care. You're at work. Be professional.
YES.
I used to work a really crappy job and I was 100% positive and polite every minute of every day. When the other employees would say "we don't do that" I would say "I'll see what I can do." I also make it an effort to be polite and friendly to people working jobs like this, because the last thing they need to deal with are crappy customers.
BUT...since I have that outlook, I get really irritated when people treat me like crap. Even if you have a bad job, show some dignity! It's not like acting like an ass is going to make your day any better...just the opposite, probably.
On the upside, exceptional customer service makes my day...especially since I see it so rarely.

Guys who act tough in front of their girls.
I was at this packed live within a small venue where it was an open floor and everyone was standing up. I was standing in the very front and then the alcohol forced me to take a piss. So in order for me to get to the restroom I had to fight my way there because everyone and their mother did not want to move. After I pissed, I forgot that I had to get back. I tapped people on the shoulder to let them know I wanted to get through. Some moved and some ignored me. For those who ignored me I slid through them even if I had to bump them. Well there was this one guy, Caucasian male, looked like a tweeker in his late 30's to mid 40's that did not want to move. So I bumped him and his girl. He did not like that I bumped his girl, remember, it is really packed and she probably shifted a few inches to the side.
He started pushing me in his girlfriend's honor and wanted to fight me. I started to laugh at him because he was acting tough. It made him even angrier because I was too busy laughing than fighting him. Eventually his friends grabbed him and told him to stop. So weird.
Here is my point: if you are willing to fight someone just do it. If you push someone, you better follow it up with a punch. And NEVER EVER fight over a girl.

Definitely agree with you there Polly. I had sales burnout from dealing with bad customers in order to make my commission. Now I am getting back in it and people really shouldn't unnecessarily need to be asses when the person is going all out of their way to make them happy.
Really rare to see good customer service now a days for sure.
I use to drink 151 too. Not exactly over a girl but in order to get to sleep. That puts me out pretty fast. Would I ever go back to drinking that? Yes, yes, I would. Shit burns but for some odd reason I like it.
Yeah seriously digital, I am not drinking over a girl ever again. I do not wish to wake up on my driveway wondering why I was missing a hubcap and throwup on the side of my door again. Funny evening though despite the bullshittery. Talk about quantum leap in the next dimension. 
Customer service in the human resource of the janitorial business that I am currently in blows. On my first day there, this disgruntle woman rolled her eyes at me while I was asking about a person's office. When she told me the room number of that person, I asked her in which direction would I go and she just repeated the room number again. At that point I just wanted to grab her with both hands and ask her "What the fuck is your problem? We are in this together!"
Catalyst: Maybe should drink together and look for women.
Iron D: While I was here we should have hung out and I would have the women coming to you.
Be fore warned: I am not at all shy about getting girls' attention and trying to talk to them.

Nah kofoguz, I getcha! Even as a smoker the smell of stale indoor smoke pisses me off, but it goes hand in hand with drinking, which is why the smoking bans in basically every city and/or state I visit kind of rub me the wrong way. Also ruined a lot of the late night diner experience! Drink pot after pot of coffee and smoke cigarettes til the early AM, leave a 200% tip.
The outdoor thing, though, that's all we got! Though the times, they are a-changin'... taxes get higher, lungs get shittier, and I think it's about time for me to hang it up. Making a lot of other positive life changes now so it's not the worst timing!
And Evenor, you ever take Chinatown busses anywhere? The last time I was on the Fung Wah from NYC back to Boston, a guy in the row in front of me had this little laptop-like mp3 player with pretty powerful speakers... he starts blasting cantopop so loud that my buddy and I could barely have a conversation. It's not surprising though, Chinatown bus patrons seem to take rudeness to levels unheard of in non-bus environments! It's really quite fascinating as they push and shove to get on the bus even though we all have tickets.

Every time I visit a big city, such as NY, I feel terrified about lighting up in the middle of the street.
It is time for me to quit already, but that won’t happen until I find something else to keep my dementia at bay. And I can’t seem to find any descent dojo here in Florida to keep me busy.
And even if I’m a smoker, I definitely HATE the smell of my clothes after two cigarettes.

I do, in fact, enjoy the odd rap and country song. I really do feel that I listen to nearly everything...cambodian 60s rock, afrobeat, black metal, modern thai pop, 40s country, noise, club music... I basically like specific groups within most arenas of music.

 PET PEEVE ALERT
I hate hate hate hate HATE when people say they listen to "everything but country and rap"! And that's not QUITE what you did but it's close enough to send me into a violent rage! Every time some obnoxious white college girl says it I want to kick her in the neck. ARRRRGH. I don't like it when people are willing to write off entire genres because of their poor representation on the radio.
I think that was sodium talking. I should drink more water.
Well as a recent college graduate I can safely say that I don't fall into the "White college girl" category. In fact, as a "Black college graduate" I'm almost the exact opposite.
And trust me, I don't write off entire genres based on radio representation. Hell, I barely listen to the radio anymore. For the most part, when I say I hate something, its because I have a fair amount of experience with it.
I also hate bad grammar; especially those who, as already mentioned, don't know the difference between there, their and they're (or to, two and too). I can definitely sympathize for those for whom English isn't their first language because, let's face it, English is a pretty arbitrary and oftentimes nonsensical language.

Uh oh, I thought I was going to make it through this thread without commenting, but this has reminded me: I cannot STAND seeing the possessive "its" mistakenly written as "it's." This kind of thing would make me doubt a person's literacy, yet I see it constantly. Not that hard when one notes that it's not "hi's" and "her's," for instance.
Even worse is that there appears to be a whole generation that does not understand that "if you have a question, please ask Jim or I" instead of "Jim or me" is a grammatical disaster. This grates on my ears like nothing else I have heard in the last decade (though the verbose and stupid use of "ask ___ or myself" is right up there). It appears to be a modern American abomination born out of the obessive correcting of children who colloquially say "Jim and me are going to the store" into "Jim and I." Unfortunately, it resulted in a bunch of insecure speakers who don't even understand when using "me" is correct. I want to suckerpunch these people, even when they're my friends....

I had a friend who worked at a record store, and over time he grew to really despise how all the customers consistently dressed to the style of music they listened to. Hip hop people dress hip hop, indie people dress indie, metal heads looked metal etc, everyone looked the part, and there were rarely any surprises. Day in and day out these patterns would bear down on him and slowly efface the very concepts of creativity and individual inclination.
As he was telling me this, a stranger overheard and decided to butt in saying "I think you're being small minded and stereotyping people too easily. I listen to hip hop but I also like Ween, can you tell that by looking at me?" My friend just flipped out and said "YES, you're a white man in his late 30s in the later stages of male pattern baldness wearing a printed T and snug blue jacket waiting in line to see a Miyazaki movie. You DO look like someone who feels entitled to interrupt me and tell me you like Ween AND rap music!"
That's not my pet Peeve, but I thought it was a fun one to share.
On a slightly related note this same friend was not one of those self important "i hate my job" types. He was always polite, and worked hard, and generally kept his disatisfaction in check with dignity (well, until that one guy inserted himself into our conversation).

Yet another pet peeve: those who continue to throw flames into the old school Final Fantasy vs. new school Final Fantasy debate (namely the 2d FFs vs. the 3d FFs). Why the hell can't I like both? Same goes for new school vs. old school Zelda debate.
I agree with you about the FF debate, it is pointless (even if FF VI is the best FF ever and FF XII is a piece of shit). But I disagree on the Zelda debate, since it is a legitimate one. 3D Zeldas are crap, souless, ugly bastardized versions of the 2D ones.
I agree that at some point the attempts to compare new games with their forebearers is meaningless. The changes in technology -and changes in players- means that what was done several years ago is probably not going to work now. While a player can judge how well a new game captures that nebulous "spirit" of the older games, at some point you have to view the new game as something unique unto itself.
This is true of all long running series except for Zelda. Those 3D Zeldas can go to hell.
Damn. I'd say it seems like I'm the only one that likes that 3d Zeldas, but that would be short-sighted since they're generally well looked upon, both by critics and consumers. However, I can't say that I have a general preference; it's all good to me. However, I am curious as to why it is that you guys in particular don't like the 3d Zeldas.
I WOULD say that the 2d Genesis Sonics are pretty much preferred over anything post-Knuckles Chaotix, though. This is pretty much true across the board.

Twilight Princess plays as well as something that evolved from a turd like OoT can, and I liked the look of the game (minus that one ugly baby-child) a lot. Unfortunately the need to continue shoving an uninteresting plot in my face kept me from finishing that one as well.
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I liked Zelda games much better when all you needed was a telepathic message to send you right into the action. No hours of boring tutorials, just enough plot to explain what's going on... yeah, that was ideal.

The stories for each weren't the greatest ever or anything, but I don't even recall ANY Zelda game really delivering in the story department.
You guys sure your not just being ruled by nostalgia? How do you feel about the more recent 2d Zeldas (Minish Cap, Oracles, etc.).

Wind Waker had a lot of fun to it! What I played of Twilight Princess had a decent amount (fighting on horseback was something I wanted since OoT), though not enough to hold me. Ocarina of Time? No. Never. Boring. I found it so dull that I went to get the Biggoron Sword, which was also dull, and when I had that damn thing there was nothing fun to do with it. The combat was clunky and bad, and while things are definitely better in Twilight Princess, they're still not great. They really need a new format for 3D Zeldas.
I don't know why people maintain that it was graphically acceptable at any time, either. Maybe for an N64 game, it looked good... but the N64's inability to display textures that didn't appear like they were covered in vaseline always revolted me. I would have taken chunky, jaggy Saturn 3D or the super PS1 3D over it any day. Also, keep in mind that the Dreamcast came out in Japan the week that Ocarina of Time did. Hell, if you had a PC, you were playing better looking games for a few years beforehand! That blurry shit didn't impress me back then, and people maintaining that it holds up today are completely and utterly delusional. I feel like the fans of this game have been experiencing some kind of decade-long mass hallucination and I'm really upset that I missed the dosing of whatever it is you guys got. I feel like I could have had a lot of fun.
My point regarding the story is that they shouldn't bother to give any kind of significant time in the game if it's going to be crap. It has been crap. They need to deliver adventure and fun! Cut down the major characters! That's part of what I like so much about the way Link to the Past did it. You can't argue that the game doesn't have a plot, because it does... but it's simple enough to be totally irrelevant to the action if you chose to ignore it. Does it matter that those are maidens of blah blah blah in those crystals? Not so much. You can tell from the menu screen that you need to get them and they're in the temples. If the story's going to shove gameplay flow aside, then chuck it. I wish they would. Fans trying to figure out some kind of chronology... no! Stop!
The music, though. I'll give you the music. Shit's consistently been great. Ocarina had some great tunes, so did everything else since.
While I haven't played Minish Cap or anything portable post-GBC, I can tell you that it's not nostalgia ruining things because plenty of Nintendo series have been good since the N64 era and onward. Loved Mario 64, kind of ehhh on Sunshine, Galaxy was absolutely fantastic. New Super Mario Bros, while offensive from a visual standpoint, was a lot of fun to play. I thought SSBB was great fanservice if nothing else. Both GBA Metroid titles were great, and though the Prime series felt like gross canon-fanfiction, the gameplay was quite good. I don't dislike Nintendo after the 16-bit era, not in the least. It's just 3D Zelda. They need work.
I have a very high sodium diet. I should work on this.

Well, I CAN agree with you on the graphics. I guess a better way to put my statement would have been, it looked good for a N64 game, because I too would rather be looking at the crap 3d os PS1 or even Saturn. BUT, I have to say that after going back and looking at the original N64 version, it doesn't look as bad now as I was expecting it too.
However, about OoT being boring...well to each their own. I didn't find it boring in the slightest, as it had a slow start but picked up pretty quickly. Then again, there aren't many adventure games that don't have a slow start.
Er.....
