People spelling my online name (BoB) as Bob or bob or boob or b00b or BooB or something along those lines. It's not BoB for the reason of TyPiNg LiKe ThIs, it's BoB because that's how I write it (a lower case o between two capital B's) and it seperates me from my cat (Bob).

Stringers (the people who walk down a street/around town very slowly, side-by-side, so that you end up stuck behind them and have no way of getting through)

Voicemails that don't say the name of who you're calling. How do I know this person even realises they <i>have</i> a voicemail? What if they don't check it? What if this isn't their phone anymore? People change phones like they change their sheets, so I sure as hell can't be sure.

People who will only stop doing something if you tell them the very long story about why you don't like them doing it. For example, people calling me Danny Boy. I don't like it because of a certain person committing suicide. Do I have to go through with telling that kind of story just to get you to stop calling me a name that reminds me of this kind of thing? If I ask you to stop it, there's generally a reason.

People saying EoFF has gone to hell. No, EoFF hasn't gone to hell. Your opinion of EoFF has gone to hell, that's all. Craploads of people still like it, old and new. You don't. Spot the difference? The difference is you.

People thinking you don't love them anymore or something along those lines just because you don't talk to them as much. Sometimes you just don't feel like talking, and sometimes this can last for months. It happens. I don't love that person less. The same goes for people getting all unhappy because you don't reply to their IM's. If I don't reply, I'm either not there or I don't feel like talking. Those are the reasons. If I don't reply, then you can assume one of those reasons. I could not love you or like you at all and still be just as likely to reply (or not reply), you know. Me replying to your IM has nothing to do with how much I like you at all.

People who back out of commitments. If you never really intended on making the effort to meet me, don't say you'll meet me. Be honest with your reasons - I won't think any less of you. I'd rather you tell me "I just don't really feel like meeting you right now." then having you say "I can't wait to meet you, it'll be so exciting!" and then having you back out later on because you decided to do something else, or because you were scared/nervous/whatever. I can wait years to meet someone, just say the reason that year isn't now and I'm fine. I like to be able to trust/depend on people.

People who label other people hypocrites as if it's a bad, evil thing. Get over it! Everyone is a hypocrite in some way. Do as we say, not as we do. I'm a hypocrite. Just because I say you shouldn't do it doesn't mean I don't do it. Just because I do it doesn't mean I think I should do it. Maybe I do think I should be able to do it and you shouldn't. So I'm a hypocrite. But I'm sure that you're a hypocrite for calling me a hypocrite.

People who say they never lie. I don't know why this is a pet peeve of mine but it is. I think that if you know you don't lie, good for you, but nobody else can ever really know for sure but you, so it's useless to go around telling people that you never lie. How do we know? We don't. If you want me to trust you, ask me to trust you. Don't tell me that you never lie.
