Pet Peeves That Shouldn't Be Pet Peeves

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread, makes me feel a little less OCD and crazy.


I decided to add one as it just came up and it is partly a pet peeve, but more so something I just don't get:

Saying things like "oh my god", "jesus", or "jesus christ" as a swear or expression similar to "holy shit" like at the start of this thread: https://forums.beyond.ca/threads/406...-in-the-world!

Now it doesn't really bother me, but I don't see how it makes any sense. So if you believe in Jesus/God, I assume you would obey the commandment about not taking the lords name in vain in which case, you wouldn't say it in that context. And if you don't believe in God, then saying it makes no more sense than saying "unicorn that is crazy!". Do people say mohammed or alla in the same context (ie: "fucking mohammed that is crazy"). I doubt is since you can't draw a pic of mohammed without getting death treats lol. I just don't get why it is used so frequently, makes no sense.

FYI I am not offended if you use it, but because I find it pointless it is a bit of a pet peeve. I just am surprised it is so wide spread. Please tell me I am not the only one!

I was raised Christian and this bothers me too, plus I just find it obnoxious when I hear chicks in particular go "Jeeeesis."

I do say "Goddaammit" sometimes though but more as a word that fits my mood by how it sounds...

The amount of "different" types of toothpaste that exist. Like an entire fucking aisle in every drug store.

worse than that is that newer large cap design that never seems to stay shut and leaks toothpaste all over my drawer. I always search for the old school screw on cap.

I often can't figure out the difference between two differently packaged types of toothpaste from the same brand

Ones with whitening and ones with whitening duh

I just buy the two dollar tube of Colgate. Who gives a fuck about anything else?

Because trying to find one less than 100ml is super aggravating when looking at a wall of them.

One of my favorite things my GTI did was switch to L/hr when you are stopped to give you an idea of idle fuel burn.

Its all about Clinpro that you get from shoppers behind the counter or from your dentist - the tinpot skeptics probably worry that im being dumbed down by all the extra fluoride im consuming though.

My daughter is sick today and can't go to dayhome. So instead of binging Punisher season 2, I'll have to binge Grand Tour season 3.

Ha! That's funny.
Reminds me of the literally 8 coolers full of dog shit oven pizza in every grocery store. Foreigners must stand in awe in front of these ludicrous displays.

When someone says "This is true" instead of "That's true". While both are acceptable "This is true" just sounds incorrect (and pretentious) to me. I equate it to pointing at a pencil on a table across the room and saying "This pencil is mine" instead of "That pencil is mine".

I usually find "That's true" to be a one off statement, while "this is true" is usually followed with more information. But that might just be my recollection.

The more interesting part of your post, is that did you actually call yourself out on a pet peeve of your own that shouldn't be a pet peeve? I think that's a first in 10 pages!
