Post your Pet Peeve

Negative suggestions

Don't do that... you'll hurt yourself!

You always misbehave!

Cannabis gives you a bad memory... my mum told me and she's a doctor.

Take your unpositive suggestions and stick them up your arse you fuckin prophets of doom!

uh...what?

[bhouncy]

uh...what?

Right. Hypnotists know that saying a negative statement such as "don't fall" has the suggestion "fall" in the statement. Just like "don't think of the colour of your front door". In order to understand the suggestion you have to have a representation of your door in your mind. Or in the case of "don't fall"... the representation of falling.

Telling someone they always do bad things is often not challenged by children. Telling a kid that they are bad and expect them to magically become good is left to chance. In a lot of cases the kid believes the suggestion and acts on it in future. The suggestion is then reinforced. Tell them how you want them to act and suggest a reward for such actions. Simples

Telling someone that herb makes their memory bad and backing it up with 'expert' testimony can be taken onboard by a suggestible person as reality. It can then gerneralize across to remembering all kinds of shit even when not stoned. Reality is that if you train your memory using the same simple techniques used by memory champions you will release your exeptional memory.

Love and peace

Bad drivers. I guess technically I'm a bad driver but that's irrelevant. I hate the people who stop in merging lanes for no reason. I hate old people that drive slow.. I mean your time is almost up you may as well giver tits on the road. I hate racism, but I also hate asian drivers. It's a scientific fact that people from Asia can't drive normally in North America. I don't know what happens on the flight over here but they just lose all fine motor control as soon as they take the wheel. And I hate the people that slam on their brakes while you're tailgating them.. like alright I realize that I'm an asshole for tailgating you but don't stoop down to my level. Nobody wins that way.

I wish I could drive around in like a '63 Buick with a bigass steel bumper and just t-bone every shitty driver I see. I'd be king of the road.

People who wear sunglasses on the top of their heads indoors even when the weather is dull and cloudy.
People who make that stupid "inverted commas" thing by snapping their fingers above their heads.
Not winning the lottery despite doing it every week really pisses me off as well.

my pet peeve, is growers with lack of patience ... lack of patience, and failure to adhere to established gardening methods, endangering plants with silly 'experiments' ... almost without fail, I see plant problems that would never have occurred, with a lighter hand on the fertilizer bottle, and more patience ... throwing more and more ferts and additives at a plant, in an effort to speed up growth, or 'improve it' ... as I'm fond of saying, " it's a WEED, keep it simple " ... :smokin:

[seattlesmoke247]

My pet peeves are people who think they're extremely knowledgeable when they really don't know shit... People who use others for personal benefit when the other person is under the impression that they're friends also piss me off. Sometimes I find myself getting heated at the stupidest things in life as well, for no reason... Gotta step back and say that's just the way it is.

People that won't mind their own business and could care less of the wake of their own vindictive behavior. A person with no heart! P/R :hippy:

Life is too short for pet peeves. I don't judge anyone. If you put everyone in here in a big room with lots of bud, I'm sure we would all get along. :bigsmoke:

During a smoke session, when people change the music in the middle of a song. Some even do it during a guitar solo. When I put on a song it stays on until it's done...my preference is to listen to albums all the way through, but I know that's an unreasonable request for our ADHD culture, so a whole song is my proposed compromise.

Plenty here have mentioned people who have inflated perceptions of their own intellect...I think this irritates everybody. Nothing worse than the guy who pedantically and condescendingly explains to you the way things are, based on a few half-remembered and half-true scraps of possibly true information. My father was one of the worst offenders for this.

It seems to be a habit of many people to choose a single insipid and usually monosyllabic adjective and then attach it to all things they like..."sick" or "kills", etc. (apparently "killer" has become too long to say). Nothing wrong with that in moderation, but I've been with people who literally use it every other sentence. I wonder if anyone here's experienced this....you use a word someone doesn't know, and they laugh at you for knowing it, like they're proud of their ignorance. I've only gotten this with people my own age (I'm 18), who probably comprise the most moronic generation of the last century, so the older people here probably can't identify. I was talking to a guy once and I mentioned feeling "stifled", to which he laughed and asked mockingly what the fuck that even meant. Truly tragic.

Yeah, basically the idiocy you see everywhere is what gets under my skin, but I try not to let it get to me too much too regularly. That's why I read, smoke pot and write me some poems.

I know, old thread, but kinda like it! :thumbsup:Anyway, was just reading and thought, I doubt we'd all get along if placed in the same room, especially if we ran out of pot! It is our differences that make everyone interesting!

About the only thing that gets me quick and fast is the trolls! On the road, I drive one way and when I drive back the same way a short time afterward and see an accident, I hope I did not cause it. Cause no one is perfect! We do dumb shit and aren't even aware of it. Most likely, we do the same things we hate. Except, for trolling! that is always on purpose and counter productive! :rasta: pr

O.K. must be bored to post on such old threads, but 1:57 AM what else you gonna do?
