Your absolutely correct, and I apologize for that generalized statement as I also know people that Spanish (like Spaniard) that are blonde and blue eyed. What I meant was the blonde hair, blue eyed people that are of anglo-saxon backgrounds acting like they are hispanic.

And Pyraci, I know what you mean by saying that they are acting like a stereotype and I didn't mean it that way. I meant the people that act like they ARE Hispanic, not the stereotype, like they actually act like they are Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, etc. etc. They aren't acting the stereotype, they're falsely claiming they are of a ethnic group that they are obviously not apart of.

I understand what you're saying, and there is a certain degree of ignorance and need for acceptance that people have that try to be what they aren't.

But yeah, I'd say one of my "peeves" is the token "friend" that put up the façade of being a friend when it suits him/her or it's "convenient" - when it beneficial. The same ones that don't know you it isn't popular to.

Its all good I know what you meant.  No need to apologize.

 

Hopefully one day we our nation (USA) can get passed skin color. I think it would help a lot if they stopped doing stats on which race made what scores on test like SATs TAAS (Texans know this stupid test) or income ect ect. 

 

But back on topic

 

Current movies that rely on tons and tons of CGI only to have a stupid Movie.  Im looking at you Fantastic 4 part 1 and 2  Ghostrider and Handcock!

That's kind of a dialect issue. Try living in Tennessee.

I mean, it'd be kind of like saying people who speak a certain language are annoying.

People who are going straight on on a roundabout, but dont indicate. Not leaving enough time to pull out before the next car comes because I only realised they were turning off when they actually did!

Oh, and drivers that slam on the brakes for a traffic officer 4 by 4, or any vehicle that has a slight pattern on high visibility paint.

This happend to me today;

When i got home from my judo class i was very tired and decided to take a nice long nap. Im dead asleep, only to be awaken by my room mate...but get this he wakes me up by comming home, walking into my room and at the top of his lungs say,

"Hey man i some stuff from the store im whiped! Can you go down stairs and get it?"

While i was sleeping...at that point my mind went blank and just a white hot flash of fury came over me and i felt like punching him square in the nose, he saw that look on my face and walked out of my room so fast, and to this very moment we still havent talked. (2 hours later)

But people who wake me up when im sleeping has got to be a huge pet peeve of mine.

HAHAAHA I know what you mean. I think back to when I was that age and I thought I knew it all.   When I see  kids around that age now I just think man they got no clue whats coming.  The whole time I thought the light bill paid for itself and the milk in the fridge just auto filled up.
