ZSH Appending Weird Things From Pidof

Hi, I'm new to the forums but a long time linux user. With my switch to arch a couple of weeks ago I've been really liking it. discovering Awesome WM makes it even better. Recently I completed my ZSH shell customization along with LS_COLORS and themes. Everything was going swell, until I decided to use the pidof command to see what the id of mpd was. now every single pidof command I use appends to the beginning of the command line like this http://s2.postimg.org/r1ejrde7d/2015_03 … _scrot.png When it's supposed to look like this http://s11.postimg.org/bkf3es18v/2015_0 … _scrot.png. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. It's even like that in TTY and after every reboot. I've checked every log file and all the history/.zsh files, themes and searched for text like that system-wide in files. I have no idea why it's sticking like this. Here's another photo http://s13.postimg.org/w5i5goqnb/2015_0 … _scrot.png. It's only supposed to go up to the ~ obviously. And ofcourse it's not. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Using URxvt by the way. Idk I tried to remove pidof out of frustration. ( I knew it would fix nothing )

It might help to post your config files to a pastebin and link them.  Knowing exactly what you have done for customization will give you better overall chances of a solution.

Are you using Oh-my-zsh? Exporting a TERM variable? What is in your .zshrc?

Yes I am using Oh-my-zsh. And my exported $TERM is set as rxvt-unicode-256color. here is the pastebin for my .zshrc http://pastebin.ca/2953946 it's a bit messy, need to clean it up.

Oh-my-zsh is a steaming ratmangle of bad ideas that have been poorly executed. I am guessing if you remove it your issue will magically disappear...
