3/3/08 Pet Peeves

[Calena]

Everyone always getting a parking space at once. I'm in the process of rewatching SPN season 1 and everywhere Dean goes there is a parking space for the Impala, which isn't the smallest of cars, big enough to drive right into - no need for reverse parking.

Okay.... this might sound a tad bit of a personal swipe at the world..... but as I am fairly new to the world of SPN Season1.... It irritates the hell out of me that in each ep so far.... all the girlies ... who.... either their brothers are missing and the boys are looking for them.... OR indeed the boys own female friends are all just the prettiest girls you could ever meet.... 99% all have blonde hair... are stick thin and go all googly eyed each time they set eyes on the SHO.....
Just for once..... just once .... I would like them to run into one of their really close fat and dumpy female friends.... who absolutely has no interest at all in Dean..... That's what I'd like to see..... yes... surely so.... Yep!!!

And yes... the pop wanabees who make that stupid phone number call thing with their fingers also do my head in....

And when someone says.... [and I am not looking at any SPN character in particular here...... ] ... but when he says to SLHO/Sam.... ''It's 600 miles from where we want to go.... have to turn car around....'' ....... and then they arrive there 3 seconds later.... that also peeves me off a bit.... I mean... why not make an odd comment or two like.... '' Oh that journey... was a killer.... I felt dead with the tireness about the 400 mile mark.... '' Or '' Shouldn't have stopped for that burrito at the 300th mile mark.... cause I have awful wind now''.... etc...etc...etc.... you know something along those lines... just to show the rest of us they simply just didn't teleport there in a tardis!!!

And the thing that peeves me off even more..... is when they go into really dark building with the weakest torches ever.... they can't even see right in front of them, let alone way in front of them..... and then when the batteries just cut out.... without warning.... when they are in total darkness!!!
Didn't any of them ever hear or think of the damn light switch over on the wall....????

Oh don't get me started on these grievances.... I'll just run and run for an age with them.....

Speaking of light, I hate it when people go home and they don't turn on the light. Their apartments are always so dark, and yet they're surprised if they find people hiding in them. :P

I totally agree with the goregous women Dean and Sam always seem to run into. It makes me laugh. I mean its not so much Supernatural's fault as the network pushing for romances and stuff like that so sexual tension with the hot girl of the week is about the best the show can do without nailing Sam and Dean down with girlfriends, but its still a little ridiculous the run into the prettiest girls everywhere LOL.

Being a hot blonde definitely improves your chances of being saved by the Winchester boys!

[meimei42]

Why can't I be blonde and hot!!?? Though I will say, there were some pretty brunettes to be fair.

Oh I have so many pet peeves:

when people are in school, once everyone settles down into class, they do stuff for about 2 minutes, and then the bell rings. Aren't classes supposed to be like 40 minutes long?

Someone mentioned this already, but when adults try to play high schoolers. especially like super hot cheerleaders. yes, there's usually a few good looking cheerleaders in every school, but in all high school tv shows/movies they entire team is ALL super ridiciously good looking, super skinny, big breasted, perfect hair, skin, etc. what happened to those normal-looking girls?

and I hate it when there's a shootout, the bad guys all go down with one shot, but the good guy takes like 50 shots to go down (and then cue the sad music), or one really dramatic bullet to the chest. in real life, most people do not just die with one gunshot wound, it usually takes a couple bullets to take the life out of a person, unless that one bullet was aimed perfectly.

and along the lines of people always being able to find parking spots, how come there's never any traffic jams or collisions on the roads on TV?

[smileyone]

Talking of shootouts..... I particularly love the shootouts involving snipers and supposingly well armed shot practised people of either goodie or baddie kind... ie.. hitman etc... all shooting it out.... at least 100 bullets whizz right by them in either direction... yet not one of these supposedly sharpshooters can hit anyone!! and there is always without fail the one cop that walks out of it with the smallest handgun that holds about 50 rounds in one hand and a small flesh like bullet wound that has just grazed skin in other hand... usually up near the shoulder..... Oh Lordy... I could write these scripts myself.... LOL!!!

A bit related to the aforementioned shootings: When people go down after being hitten just once, and not particularly forceful. Now if a guy gets hit in his private parts I could probably understand that he might be incapacitated for a little while but every time a normal sized person gets one hit somewhere on his (or her) upper body and is then knocked-out/unconscious I wanna roll my eyes in annoyment. It usually takes a bit longer to beat a person.
