Main > Easter Eggs > What Are Joel's Pet Peeves?
I have pet peeves. We all do. Here are some of mine.

People who try to hide when a camera comes out. They use their hands or other inanimate objects. People who are that insecure are extremely annoying. I mean, look, does it look at ALL intelligent? As a photographer, these people also just waste your film.
I think everyone should have some direction or plan in their life. I like to see people thinking about their careers and moving up into the world. The ones who just want to sit around and let life happen to them really grate on my nerves. You probably know someone like that.
I hate typos in printed or official documents. Argh! It's all so nice, except for the mistakes!
Whenever pushy people try to get their way, it just gets my hackles up. My mom is kinda pushy, and I think that's where it comes from.
I hate to see things wasted. Things like money, time, effort, you name it. I start to obsesess about it, and wondering how much one would be ahead if they hadn't wasted their money on something, or had made a left turn instead of right, etc. I mean, I really obsess about it.

I think we have the responsibility to keep God's green Earth in good shape. That means we don't destroy natural habitats of animals, we don't continue urban sprawl, and nature is kept pristine. So when I see complete jerks just throw things on the ground for someone else to pick up, or find out how more habitats are being destroyed in for pursuit of progress, I get really sad and irritated.
You ever go to put your cafeteria tray and dishes onto the conveyor belt, and catch a wafting breeze from where they do the dishes? You get that pungent, moldy, funky smell? Yeah, that one. I can't stand it! I would sooner put a bullet in my head than have to work in that room. I feel really sorry for the people who do, because I don't know how they do it, and for minimum wage, no doubt. I also can't stand the smell of urine (all those years of the cat misbehaving), the smell of lamb (food, not the animal), etc. I guess I just don't like pungent smells. I pride myself on my sense of smell.

Picture this:
You're on the elevator, waiting for the elevator to go, because you need to get somewhere -- a meeting, to get your stuff, etc. If only the door would close, and the elevator would get started! Wait! The door is finally closing, almost there, almost closed, and then some jerk sticks their big, stupid hand into the tiniest crack of the elevator door. The elevator shudders, the door opens, some jerk walks in with a smug face, all happy because he "caught the elevator".
Now, you have to start all over again.

People who are afraid of trying new foods, an activity they've never tried, etc.
Someone in the group suggests a restaurant, a place, an activity, and then you have to listen to the whiners start to whine... "Aaaaah, I don't know. I don't think I would like Chinese food. I don't think I'd like sushi. I don't think I'd like being beaten by a midget in a clown costume."
Whatever it is, they haven't tried it, and they're not sure they'd like it.
"It's important that, in order to shift the paradigm, we need to step up to the plate, think outside of the box, use some elbow grease, and leverage our core compentencies proactively."
Shut the hell up. Here are more.
They're similar to the "Pushy People" mentioned earlier. These people take what they want, because they want to. Argh.
