got tagged by Varsha. 20 pet peeves. here goes:
1) People without a sense of Humour. people who just don't get any sorta jokes! Sheesh!
2) Being stuck doing just one thing for real long periods of time. Can only do that with Quizzing/ TP with Friends. Otherwise, no subject can be interesting for so long!
3) People who are so interested in being esoteric for the sake of being esoteric. OK, so you listen to "Industrial" or something else - doesn't mean that there aren't other forms of music buddy!
4) Work, of any sort - Life should be legalized Hedonism!
5) People leaving the microwave on when it's done without hitting the "clear" button. Yeah, I know i'm nitpicking!
6) People telling me I should cut my hair - It's my frickin hair!!!!!
7) Harry potter movies - the only reason I watch them is to bitch about them constantly , and see how they've screwed it up this time!
8) People not knowing "Please", "Thank You" or "Excuse me". Man, how pathetic are you!!!!!
9) @#$%!*& who cut in front of the line at the ticket counter/ bus stop queue. They should be physically beaten in front of everyone! Seriously!
10) Shaving. Like someone pointed out, it's just a thankless job!
11) People pickin their noses on trains. Do I really need to elaborate?
12) People who come late!
13) People with total fraud accents, just to impress other people. I get that you may have to change your accent so some others can understand, or that sometimes you unconsciously change it, but just putting it on - damn annoying!
14) People wearing shoes inside the house (esp mine). I know it's personal choice, but it's just plain unhygenic.
15) Anyone pressuring me to drink. Listen bozo, take the hint, I don't want a pint!
16) The use of "loose" in place of "lose". Even TOI does it! Pathetic!
17) Any Arse-nal fan. No further explanation warranted, obviously!
18) Anyone (plaer/fan) giving up during a sports event. You just can't until the last play is over. Ever!
19) Lechers. Uggghhhh!!!!!!
20) Having to rack my brains to think up 20 pet peeves! Suddenly, I can't seem to recall any!

#5 - i do that to ppl. it's irritating to see someone's hair all over their eyes. u cant even see them while talking!
#6 Raaa! Raaa!
#9 Oh ya, i lo(o)se my temper there
#10- Just like cooking and cleaning. Whatever u do, it's a waste. Shave or clean and it just comes back like *snap* that. Cook, and the it just goes away like *snap* that although thats supposed to be a good thing...
#16- i think TOI itself is a pet peeve
#19- Ask any girl...
#20 - :D :D :D
hp movies - DEFINITELY. do NOT ruin a classic!! (classics in plural actually)
umm...hmm...i have a Canadian accent with my friends, but it's natural, not put on...
there are more i meant to comment on but apparently you can't view the entry you're commenting on. grr.
You have come up with a good list! I don't think I can get 20 of these...

1) Know my pain bro, know my pain
15) :))))
16) YEAH !
17) Check this out... http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/archives/2005/12/at_least_were_n_2.html
oh yeah, pt no 9 had me so wound up at one pt of time i ws gonna write a whole blog all about ppl looooosing their insanity! maybe it's just a phase of life...like adolescence....it has to end someday...as for pt no. 19, i actually did write a whole blog abt it!
grammatical errors are so criminal, the perpetrators should have their faces flushed down the loo's. (sic)
imagine someone coming up with "Learn English Quick DVD's"
TOI and its accomplice Mumbai Mirror, and that crap BT - all are a waste of money. but they must be bought because in the bushels of chaff there are a couple of grains of news. [ rem. gratiano ;) ]
oh, btw, mirror isn't complementary - you get it at a default price of Rs.4 (TOI+MM).
my brother had a classmate who went to the consulate to find out about the visa procedures and returned with an accent (not the car). no prizes for guessing that he was from a western indian state that shares a boundary with one of the neighbouring countries.
oh, you know this fun remedy to lechers? you should point at them conspicuously and say loudly what he was doing. try it, very rewarding. (e.g. some low life is staring at a girl from your group, or from a stranger sitting around. you say "excuse me, look there, that guy has been staring at you since 5 minutes now... do you know him?". lecher doesn't know where to look now... strange huh)
being esoteric - the essence of pseudism!
actually, isn't it an insult to your faculties of understanding when you confine your preferences to one or two genres of music, or a few selected bands? shows that you lack the openness to accept other forms; variety in general. not really the kind of impression you want to form!
no variety = no spice in life = bharat goes without sambhar's (great^5) grandfather.
ps. nice list
peoplee comin late..hmmm i hope it wasnt directed at a certain some1 eh? ;-)
for #8, you must read "Talk to the hand" by Lynne Truss...
for the peeve on punctuation and wrong spelling, you must pick up this book which i bought for myself yesterday - "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by the same author.
