That tv trope where one spouse gets angry when they find out the other spouse had other relationships before them

Currently watching an episode of Good Luck Charlie. PJ says that a girl he’s dating told him that her mom used to know his dad. PJ tells his parents this and Bob says she was the last girl he dated before Amy. Amy gets upset for absolutely no accountable reason. He hasn’t been talking to this woman or even thinking about her, much less doing anything romantic with her. How dare he have dated other girls before Amy. How dare he not have just waited around for her his whole life. How dare the women he dated not retroactively disappear from existence. To be fair this is Amy Duncan, the irrational drama queen. Sidenote, I’m pretty sure the actress is MAGA and currently does conservative kids shows.

Sure but maybe we should learn from somewhere else than tv shows mixed with advertisements.

  Sounds reasonable. But that is probably the problem with your take. 😉

Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome.

Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you’re going off topic and get people mad at you.

Well, don’t do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve!

Rules are simple

1: Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain’t power tripping bastards, we aren’t here to judge users or mods, we’re here to vent a little spleen about the minor annoyances of life.

2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already said, this isn’t about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it’s about us having a peeve.

3: Wheaton’s law is in effect. Don’t be a dick. It ain’t cool, and it won’t be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the call as to what is and isn’t dickish. Complaining about it won’t get you anywhere. If it’s a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was.

4: If it isn’t obvious, bigotry is inherently dickish. Doesn’t matter if it’s blatant or dog whistles, don’t do it, you’ll get immediately banned.

5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an individual as a motherfucker, that’s not likely to end in a friendly way. You dig, motherfuckers?

Post guidelines

Try to remember that any pet peeve you have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about other people, there’s already communities for that kind of thing.

Example: Turn signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don’t know if they’re really signaling to turn, if it’s something they didn’t know they did, etc, so now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and navigation.

Don’t just complain about how stupid the people must be, how inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself.

Feel free to refer folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that’s part of why we’re here :)
