So, I got bored and scoped out some "women's pet peeves" to see if they were anything I would agree with. Some of them I did within reason, and I am going to share them with you, and add my own commentary.
"When her boyfriend spends a lot of money on gadgets."
...This depends on what the gadgets are. If he's buying something that has a purpose and can be used for something, then that's fine. If he's buying something retarded that's just going to sit and collect dust, that really busts my hump.
"When her guy plays video games all night"
...Without me!
"When her man rolls his eyes after she says something, no matter how silly it is"
...I personally have never had this happen to me but it would really irritate me if it did. I don't think men roll their eyes, though. That seems like a more womanly trait.
"When someone tells her to shut up"
...Yeah. Especially if there's an argument going on and I'm trying really hard to be civil/rational about it. Which is ALWAYS the case.
"When a boyfriend complains about meeting her parents"
...I always end up meeting crazy relatives and never have an issue with it. I'll be damned if he doesn't want to subject himself to the insanity of my family members.
"When a lover says he never wants to get married"
...I'm not all for marriage (see first journal entry for details), but I don't think it's fair to expect that you'll NEVER want do something in your lifetime. Unless it involves gouging your eyes out with fossilized koala fetuses or something.
"When the women's line is longer than the men's line"
...And the owners of whatever establishment you are at get upset when you try to go in the men's restroom because you're about ready to piss yourself.
"Relatives who ask, "when are you getting married?""
...Just because I am with someone doesn't mean we're getting married. It doesn't mean we aren't, but Jesus, don't scare the poor lad off.
"Relatives who ask, when are you going to have a baby?"
...sigh.
"When a hairdresser gives her a bad style"
...This happens almost every time I go to get my haircut. Yet I always go back to the same place every time. Stupid me.
"Guys who think flowers are the perfect gift for any occassion"
...I think it's much sweeter if I mention something that I like and they surprise me with it, even if it's something really small. IE, Steve (the beau) surprised me with a bag of 16 Reece's peanut butter cups when I went to visit him. It was on sale for like, uhh, a dollar or something, but damn, a dozen roses that cost 100 dollars couldn't have made me happier.
"Men who assume all women want to get married and have babies."
...I'm sure a lot of women probably want that at some point in their lives, but not right away, and not when they first meet a guy, unless they are whacked out and obsessive, then they should just be hit in the head with a brick and left in an alley somewhere.
"girls who hate other girls"
...This makes me sad. A lot of girls used to hate me in middle/high school and I think it has a lot to do with my shyness around girls now, and my lack of female friends in general. Plus, I love girls. They're so beautiful and I am in awe of them every day when I come to this site.
"Disliking her cat"
...This is some serious shit right here. I can tell right away if a guy is "keeper" material based on how he treats my kitty. The more you like my kitty, the more I like you, end of story.
"When a guy talks too much about an ex"
...I've never had any issues with this I don't think, since the only information I get is when I'm stupid enough to ask. It does bother me if I only ask one simple question and it ends up leading to an entire history. Or if he's talking about something that doesn't make her look bad. That sounds really selfish, but I don't want to know that someone's ex did something right and now I have to compete with it.
I think that's about it. Anyone else have some petpeeves they'd like to share?
(A personal one of mine that I didn't find on the website is, I absolutely HATE IT when someone tells me a story, and then I have to hear them tell the same story to like 5 other people, so I hear the same story 5 times, and of course the story always becomes more grand with each telling. Okay. So only my parents do this. But it's really fucking annoying.)

i think animals have a much keener sense of people than we do.... they are not jaded by appearance/flash and get straight to the core.
