38: tell us about your pet peeves!JFC, I don't have all night to go over all that stuff! It's almost easier to put down what I'm OKAY with. A small sampling of my pet peeves: people who smack their gum and/or food, when the animals lick themselves in that really "wet" way, pen clickers, people who don't use their blinkers when driving, people who

I hate when people slooowly take out their money and credit card because they're more focused on chatting. And yeah, when cashiers all but enable it.

Although I did feel bad one time, because I was far enough not to hear everything, and I shot the woman a few "are you fucking kidding me?" glances. Then I realized she was actually having a problem with her food stamps, so had an actual reason for the delay. But she was laughing and joking (maybe she felt awkward?) so I just assumed. :( I really hope she didn't notice my "are you kidding me?" look and think I was judging her. (I would never judge someone for that. I would judge them for holding people up, but not if there were an actual reason!)

Sorry for all the edits, I tried that quick edit thing and pressing enter sends the comment.

I hate when a good lunch gets ruined! :( I've done that before. One time I accidentally cooked something for ten minutes instead of one minute, and ran out so I didn't notice. Oops.

I've had the same reactions you mentioned before but in the past couple years I've gotten better about tempering my responses. As long as the person in line is not being overly slow and they're not purposely engaging the cashier so they can't continue their job I can usually keep things inside. But as soon as the cashier gets chatty with friends or beyond basic customer service I get piiiiiiiiissed.

I love self-checkout but I hate that I love it because I know the more popular it becomes the fewer jobs there are for real people. :\

I'm also very apprehensive about IT.

I know that many have been waiting for an actual film adaptation, since we only have the television miniseries which, while good in its own right, was quite restrictive on what it could do. I do hold a fondness for the miniseries because despite its limitations it actually was good at creating a creepy atmosphere, and also Tim Curry as Pennywise will always be iconic. With any new adaptation that is coming out in recent years it's always a gamble. Will it be good, decent, or just flashy with no real substance?

The trailer does look good, I will say that. And you are right, the editing is absolutely spectacular to make it so, but there are many trailers out there that are well done when the actual movie itself is really mediocre at best. So there is no way of telling.

I've never really gotten Tim Curry's appeal so I don't have any attachment to his Pennywise. I liked him in Home Alone but he's never really stood out to me and I'm not a "fan", I guess. I was a bit surprised at who's playing PW for this version but he looks sorta creepy out of makeup so it might translate.

I'm impressed by the trailer so far, but like you say, it's hard to tell sometimes from that. I'm hoping it will be a good adaption though, SK liked it a lot which is a good sign

[marishna]

I have high hopes for it and Stephen King has even tweeted that so many things based on his books that are coming out look good. I think that bodes well, as long as no one gets too ambitious during final editing.

AHAHAHAHA! It JUST occurred to me who SK is in your comment. I thought you were referring to your partner or something, not the author. *facepalm*

I have the same pet peeves, especially with hashtags, people who don't use their blinkers, people sniffling or coughing, chatty Cathy's, and when YouTube lags, just ugh DX

[marishna]

I screamed at so many people today for not using their blinkers. Unfortunately it's getting to the season when everyone has their windows down so I have to be a bit more careful about when I yell at other drivers. :\

Fucking hell, I HATE the word "Bae". Just no.

[marishna]

I never understand the purpose when I see it written out. I don't think anyone in my life actually uses it. I hope not, anyway...
