Tories make me cringe. ;____; Sorry, but I can't afford to go to Uni anymore; I'm firmly Liberal. Especially since the new lady in charge of ~equality is a homophobic cow that I would personally like to curb stomp. And more than anything, I think Margaret's ~crimes were more blown up by the media because she was a woman. But as I said, there's a load of my post dedicated to why you shouldn't tar everybody with the same brush, and I don't. Not all men are "dirtbags", just like all women are "bitches" or "slags" or even "shopaholics". edit: spotted an infernal typo!

lolol sorry to make you 'cringe' I guess & stereotypes exist in day to day life, whether you agree with them or not is up to you but you shouldn't look down on people who hold different opinions to you, especially if something shaped that view in the first place for that person.

But when their view is something like homophobia, won't you look down on them? I look down on those who stereotype others, including "men haters" and "women haters" (though I see far less of the latter than I do the former). If everybody accepts stereotypes, then things won't change. I don't look down on people with opinions that AREN'T sexist, homophobic or racist. "Men hating feminists" are sexist. It's not even feminism. It's just sexism. We're supposed to be equal, none of this women are better than men or men are better than women deal. Again, I see far more "omg, all men are horrible, women are soooo much better!!" than I do "omg, all women are horrible, men are soooo much better!!".

If someone straight got like....abused by someone of the same sex (without going into detail) then yes, they'd have every right to be homophobic..
I wouldn't AGREE with them but I would understand/not look down on them for that opinion
I'd only get a cob on if their opinion was baseless and childish and just intended to hurt someone else...but then that's just an intolerance, not really an opinion!

oh ho ho i have a petzy one.
when people that know nothing about posing/can't pose their own dogz/cats open shows and judge them unfairly because they have NO IDEA what they're looking for in a pose and then the winner is some horrible posed dog/cat and it ends up getting points and the owner thinks that its pose is fantastic when really it's horrible.
hahaha.

That's why I don't host shows anymore LOL. Show standards changed since back in the day [/oldfart] and I am not interested enough to learn them. 8D That makes me a winner. Don't judge me.

^ Heh, I do that all the time, but only in my head since I don't want my IRL friends to know how much of a guttermind I have. I always want to be like brown chicken brown cow. D: It's a terrible peeve of mine when people walk their dog off the leash with the leash in their hand. I mean, really? What's the leash there for? It's not like it's going to help you if your dog takes off into the street after a squirrel, Sherlock. And since my two dogs are very aggressive towards other dogs, I'm now scared to walk them (my little Brownie has leaped on German Shepherds without fear). Even though our community rules state that all dogs must be kept on a leash, this one dog is allowed to wander freely all the time and will even come into your patio if she feels like it. Scares the hell out of me. :/

Petz Peeve
- Constant adopters: Please calm down and be happy with the ones you have now. I understand if you apply for them and know you're going to care of them, but adopting 1,000 petz on every adoption thread is just rude. -____-
- People who don't read rules: Okay, Honestly? I can understand not reading the rules the second you join a forum but before you apply/request something. For the love of all that is creamy and yummy, At least read the rules and use the form first.
This one kind of hits home for me, because I've had people request petz on my Hexing threads and It's obvious that they read NONE of my rules. -___- 6 rules, people. 6.
- People who join and before they make 5 post, Make hexing repuest...: Does this one need explaining? C'mon, really?
- Pushy people: I don't mind if you want a pet from me. Heck, I'm happy to give you one, but would a please or thank you burn your fingers during typing? I would prefer you say it to much rather than to little.
(Disclaimer: I know I've been guilt of a few of these before, But I've corrected many of my bad habits, I believe. As I've seen others do them I realized how upsetting it was and made an effort to keep a better hold on myself.)
RL peeves
- People who swear....constantly. Not gonna lie. I swear and I can say some nasty things if in a bad enough frame of mind. But for everyday things? For everything that I don't find pleaseant? What are we, 5th graders? You just sound under-educated and hotheaded. Ex: "I can't believe this ******* weather, I mean, **** *** **** is that about? ****" <------ Pick up a Thesaurus, good sir, and learn a few adjectives. THEY HELP.
- Rude people 'nuff said...
-Ranters I understand venting every once in awhile, but not everytime someone looks at you the wrong way or you drop your keys. Relax. Breathe. It will be okay, I promise. 0-0
- Friends/strangers that are 15 years old or younger claiming they're "in love...": You.are.not.in.love. Calm down. You've known this person for...what? For 6 months? 7? Maybe get to know them, find out their temperment, and how you both deal with the odd fight with each other? Pay bills, Go through hard times and spend sometime apart before eventually getting back together. THEN come and tell me you're in love.
It worse when this person who is "in love", Moons over half the boys/girls in the school at the same time. Uhh,...wut? You go through boy/girlfirend like paper towels. >> Get over yourself, please.

^ all of the petzy ones. <3
Also, on the love one... I saw two 14 year olds on the internet (and I am not joking here), say "I kno weve only bin togethr 4 one month but were really in love an i know were gonna be married darkwolf14, love whitepaw96" typos and all. JUST WHAT. You're in an internet relationship, you're 14 and you've been together a month. I have more chance of marrying Johnny Depp than you do of staying together!!

Slow walkers - because I walk relatively fast Turning on the lights without giving a warning - as well as turning them out Lateness - not when others are, but if I'm late for something it makes me feel awkward Dirty dishes - probably because our sink is always filled with them :b
