    My main pet peeve is when people draw fanart of shipping that doesn't even make sense. It's just so dumb.

    Well even something like Rarity and Rainbow Dash would tick me off. I'm very picky with my ships lol.

    Ha. Well I wouldn't say it completely ticks me off. It mainly just makes me ask "Why?" followed by either face palming or just shaking my head in disappointment. :derpe: But if the extreme ship is funny, then I let it slide, because it's funny.

    Now anthro ponies, I completely despise. I don't really know why to be honest.

    The idea came into my head when I read a DA page where the person had a poll for their story to ship Dash and Luna. I googled for some art of the 2, I didn't find that much. Then I had my idea. Which will stay secret till I draw it.

    My biggest pet peeve is being spoken down to as if I were a child, especially in my workplace. I also can't stand when people drive around blasting their sub-woofers in there car and causing my whole car to shake or driving in my neighborhood late at night blasting them.

    The characters of the show are not classified as furries.

    I must say, randomly jumping into a clop discussion JUST because someone is a brony is very distasteful.

    Some random ships are good, but I agree that some can be really off the wall. One popular one--Fluttershy x Big Mac--seems unusual to me. But ones like the mentioned AJxCelestia are just too far out there for me.

    Pet Peeves? Wow, um..... I consider pet peeves to be little things, so the larger stuff that I don't like will be omitted here.

    People who walk in without knocking.
    Radio Stations that play the same song twice in a row just because it was requested.
    People texting during a movie in a theatre.
    People who get angry about the definition of a song genre.
    People who make fun of other people for listening to certain music.

    Also, people who don't understand the concept of "casual fan" make the list. Honestly, I don't have to commit my life to something in order to like it.

    I'm sure there are other things.

    You're preaching for the choir there, they're also some of my biggest pet peeves.
    Also, when it comes to ponies, I know everyone has an opinion and all, but it's when people sometimes go a bit too over the top, if you know what I mean? For example, the whole "best pony" concept is very irritating because you get people spamming their favourite pony everywhere, usually Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in particular. :angry:

    Pony-Related:
    Mostly just butthurt bronies who can't possibly understand why the whole world doesn't adore the show. It's a cartoon aimed at small children, based on a not-very-good 80s cartoon/toy line. Yes, it's improved a lot. People aren't obliged to "give it a chance". There are plenty of TV shows that I have no interest in looking into, simply because if I watched a few episodes of every TV show ever just to see if they were any good, I'd have no time to do anything else.

    Also, people who act like bronies are this persecuted group just because someone at school once took the piss out of them for liking the show. Real life is not Equestria. You will meet plenty of people who make fun of you for liking a show aimed at little girls. Who cares what they think? Just ignore them and stop wallowing in your self-designed victim mentality.

    Oh, and people who get horribly offended by the mere existence of R34/Clop/Whatever. Just don't read it, and if an image pops up on Tumblr or whatever that you don't like, scroll past it and get on with your life. I'm not a fan of it (I find it more funny than anything), but stop being so precious, they're fictional characters.

    Non-Pony-Related:
    I agree with the poster who mentioned attention-seeking facebook posts.
    "wah sooooo angry dnt no wot 2 do nemore"
    "wots up hunni?"
    "dnt wana talk bout it, PMd u"
    If I don't want to talk about something, I generally don't try to draw attention to it.

    The American thing of saying "I could care less" when they mean that they COULDN'T possibly give less of a crap about something.

    The whole attitude that "Justin Bieber is the musical antichrist, he's the worst thing ever to happen to music". OK, his songs aren't great. They're pretty bland, unremarkable, pop/RnB songs by numbers. But I'm sure there are much worse artists out there than some harmless little boy who looks like this girl I once slept with.
    Like Nickleback. Urgh. Just go away already.

    Fake pockets. Like, when you buy a coat or something, go to put your hands in the pockets, and find that they're just stitched to make it LOOK like you have pockets. Where the hell am I meant to keep my goddamn keys/phone/mp3 player/spare change? The most annoying part is that, sometimes, you'll unpick the stitching and see that there are actually pockets under there. Are clothes shops trolling us?

    Packaging that is way too difficult to get into. Take note, the packet of sausages I tried to get into earlier. >:-(

    The phrase "om nom nom". If you say "om nom nom" around me, I shall feed you to a lion, who shall say "om nom nom". And then I'll feed that lion to another lion. And the cycle continues. I hope you're happy.

    People who claim to like dancing in the rain. Stop trying to sound quirky, dancing in the rain is rubbish. It's cold, wet, uncomfortable, and makes you look like a tool.

    Families who insist on making grocery shopping a massive outing; you have Mum, Dad, some aunts and uncles, the grandparents, and about ten kids. Can't one of the adults stay home and keep an eye on the kids? What possible reason could you have for bringing every single member of your extended family with you? All you're doing is getting in the way. I just want to buy cheap vodka and bacon, get out of my bloody way.

    On that note, parents in the supermarket who let their toddlers run around on their own. When I'm carrying a basket, it's at just the right height to concuss your little bratling if they run into it, which they inevitably will, because toddlers are idiots. I would know, I used to be one. So don't blame me when your kid gets a bump on the head from my basket when you were supposed to be keeping an eye on it.

    People who constantly interrupt you when you're trying to tell them something.

    Well, I apoligize for having a alicorn OC.
    :Trollestia:
    In my defense I say Prince Darkmoon is far from a Gary Stue character as his level of arrogance makes Rainbow Dash seem modest and being socially isolated is probably a huge drawback in Equestria. Not to mention him not being able to do a thing one of the mane 6 can't do better.

    I don't really have any pony pet peeves, I even tolerate rule 34. I have plenty for pony haters though.
    1. People who thinks MLP makes you gay
    2. People who thinks Bronies are pedophiles
    3. People who hate on the show without even watching any of it

    None pony peeves.
    1.People who block the walking side of an escalator by just standing.
    2. Political correctness.
    3. Religious people with no respect of other people's faith in another religion. Also applies to political ideologies.
    4. People who thinks animals have no souls and hurting them needlessly with that justification.
    5. People who bullies others because a difference in intrests
    6. People who thinks the god of love hating some people is not a contradiction.
    7. People who thinks the world is 5000 years old.
    8. Society's obsession with sexuality, including the churches obsession with anti-sex and virginity.
    9. Society's obsession outward appearance and weight.
    10. People who denies that humanity is inheritary selfish and cruel

    I could continue long still, bu you get the point.

    Exactly everything you said. The rule 34 thing is spot on; it's not hurting anyone, if you don't like it then don't look at it but don't take it away from people who enjoy it (they're cartoons for gods sake *rolls eyes*) Kids in general tick me off, I may not be to old but I never behaved as bad as some of the kids I see in stores and restaurants. My mother would have beat my butt if I ran around the store screaming. Also families shopping- like what you said.

    Living with a few of my uncle's kids would probably cause people to take up cutting as a method to cope.

    Service Dog Peeve

    I know this is a big of a rant but it needs to be said...

    I think people who bother my service dog are the biggest peeve. People who claim they are "animal lovers" and wont f-ing leave me and my service dog alone and keep trying to pet him because they say "It's so hard not to pet him, I love dogs so much" F-K OFF!! I DON'T CARE; you're like the 56th person to approach me that day. I counted one weekend I was doing errands and 200 people stopped me about my service animal.
    Also, I don't give a crap if you're 2nd cousins, best friends, aunt "trains service dogs" (Which 90% of the time don't, they're therapy dogs- totally different) I had some jackass pull his truck up and block my driveway right as I was late and getting ready to leave to go to a doctors appt (to find out if I had stomach cancer FYI) and proceeded to spend 30 min chatting about his cousin in laws service dog training organization and the guy wouldn't let me pull out of my driveway. He was talking about how his cousin-in-law trains dogs and takes them into nursing homes and libraries to visit with people. I finally had to yell at him and correct him that the sort of training his cousin in law did was not service dog training and to move out of my way. He then started cursing at me, calling me c--t, bi-- and threatening to kill my dog and he still wouldn't move out of the way. It wasn't until the neighbor guy next door came over to help me that scared the guy off (my neighbor is a big guy).
    People bothing me and my service dog at the store it a problem. Had some guy run my dogs tail over with a cart because he was upset I had him in the store. Another lady cursed me out in a store and the cops had to be called because she threatened to kill me and that doesn't even begin to address the overly friendly people. All I want to do it grab my groceries, go home and watch tv (and forum chat on Everypony) and not be stopped by the 50th person that day who thinks they need to bond with me and my dog and try and "be supportive". What I really hate is when people talk to my dog instead of me and they'll ask "Well how are you doing" and I tell them "If he answers you I'll be surprised". Remember people, if you see a service dog with it's handler in public like while your shopping or eating at a restraunt- leave them alone! If you talk to them and they seem grouchy it's because you're probably like the 75th person to bother them that day. Service dogs are not like pets and don't like being bothered by strangers while working. Keep your hands and kids hands away from the person and dog and If your in customer service- talk to them and not the dog.

    People expect disabled people with service dogs to be all friendly and to educate as well as answer everyone's questions and are surprised at how growly, sarcastic and *squee!*y a lot of us get. We're people, not side shows. We're not here to educate and entertain you, you need to educate yourself (and no, we're not going to show you what "tricks" our dog does). Also, we're tired just like you after a long day-however, unlike you, we probably hurt or don't feel well so you're asking questions is even more of an irritant. Go away!

    Well, this links to another one of my peeves where people think that being a brony or furry automatically means you want to rape a horse or fox or something. Not every furry is into that, and not every furry faps, etc.

    My biggest pet peeve is when people misuse the words 'their' and 'there'. It's actually in this thread a couple times. :sigh:

    Their differences are there and they're different!

    For pony related pet peeves, I don't like art or memes with the troll face. And when I see, yes, I just scroll on by.
