Peter Pettigrew

This is a character from Harry Potter who was one of the four Marauders and everyone hates him. His animagus form is a rat and he is a rat on the basis that he sold information on James and Lily and Harry Potter's hiding place to Voldemort in exchange for his own life. Then he, who we hate, framed Sirius, who we love, for murdering 13 people and lived as a rat for the 12 years that Sirius was in the hell hole of Azkaban prison. In conclusion, we hate Peter, and Sirius never died in OotP.
Remus Lupin:
"No Harry it wasnt him, somebody did betray your parents but it was somebody who up until quite recently i belived to be dead."
Harry Potter:
"Who was it then?"
Sirius Black:
"Peter Pettigrew!"

petite bourgeoisie

In a strict Marxist sense, the petite bourgeoisie represents the middle managers who are capable of purchasing the labor power of the proletariat (working class), but also do not wholly own the means of production. The key defining factor of this group involves the attitudes, values, and opinions they support and display. Members of this social group strive to mimic the behaviors and practices of the Haute Bourgeoisie (upper class, the one percent if you will), even though their own incomes are nowhere near the level of those they deify. They often have an aggressive disdain for the poor even though most of them are a single paycheck away from joining their ranks. Modernly, most of them purchase goods and services on credit, providing for the illusion that they have the same kind of purchasing power that the wealthy do. They use this artificial purchasing power to obtain nice clothes, cars, and jewelry (swag). Most of them are social/fiscal conservatives, Social Darwinists, Objectivists/Ayn Rand fans and/or libertarians. They also have nigh-psychotic delusions of grandeur, thinking that if they just "work hard enough" that they too will join the ranks of the economic elite someday.
"So my buddy only makes 30k a year, just bought a house, a BMW, a rolex, and has a full wardrobe of designer clothes. He also lectures me every day that he 'earned it' from 'working hard' and that anyone who doesn't have what he's got is somehow inferior to him."

Peter's Coffin

The opposite of Occam's Razor, it applies to situations where the most convoluted, elaborate explanation is the most likely to be true.

It's named in honor of Peter Coffin, who got famous for creating an incredibly complex labyrinth of lies in order to pretend he had lost his virginity. When some inconsistencies in his story became apparent, some people suggested bizarre explanations as a joke, but later the most ludicrous ones turned out to be true.
"Okay, so either Peter finally got a girlfriend, or he has dedicated the last few years of his life to the elaboration of a complex network of deception that involves a real size sex doll, thousands of dollars worth of girl's clothes, including custom made cosplay, dozens of sockpuppet accounts interacting with each other, several blogs and twitter accounts that he writes himself regularly, photo manipulation, stop motion animation, hiring a Scottish woman to record voice samples, dressing in drag, finding girls that looked like the doll and secretly taking pictures of them, stealing a baby, acquiring hospital equipment to use as props, and forging official documents, and he did all this despite he was caught years ago doing something similar and got publicly humiliated for it. Now seriously, what do you think is more likely?"

"By application of Peter's Coffin, the second hypothesis is the most likely."

A few days later...

"Oh my god! I can't believe it was all true! Peter's Coffin was right again!"

Pete Best

The drummer of the Beatles before he was replaced by Ringo Starr in 1962. There are a few debatable reasons as to why he was fired

1) Brian Epstein (the Beatles second manager) didn't like his drumming and asked the rest of the group to let him go

2) Pete wasn't that close to the rest of the group and thus made John, Paul and George feel uncomfortable around him.

and perhaps the most debatable reason of all...

3) John, Paul and George were jealous of Pete's good looks and were upset that he received more attention and praise from girls than the rest of the group.

Whatever the reason was, Pete Best was replaced by Ringo just as Brian Epstein began to transform the band into a sensation. It was reported that Pete tried to commit suicide years after he was fired, but a close relative managed to stop him. I do sympathize with him though because after all, how would you feel if you almost became one of the most famous musicians in the world?
