Pet Peeves

I cannot stand water on the floor. My poor kids struggle with this and have yet to figure out how much more peaceful and harmonious life will be if they just stand on the bath mat to dry off, don't splash water across the whole bathroom and/or clean up the floor when they are done.
I also cannot ride in a car with someone who doesn't use their windshield wipers with proper timing. I can admit that I'm a bit of a control freak about this one.0 -
People with oddly specific grammatical pet peeves who think they're ~*special snowflakes*~ for policing everyday interactions drive me batty. Seriously. I get it; I do my best with the English language. I use "Johnny and me" and "Johnny and I" correctly, I don't use the word "irregardless", I know my their/they're/there differences. But flipping a lid because someone on a message board used the wrong spelling of a word is so tacky and pointless. Did you understand what they were trying to say? HURRAH, the English language triumphs again, errors be damned!
The only time I point out someone else's grammatical mistakes is when they're being a **** about grammar, but making mistakes anyway.0 -
Those stupid Indian astrology spam posts " black magic love advice varashnikanwhatever" that crop up every few days no matter how often the moderators take that junk down. You'd think the poster would get the idea that such nonsense is not allowed here.
OMG, QFT. :explode:
oh yeah...so weird0 -

I'm not sure if I can limit my list, but I'll name a few things that irk me.
- drivers who pull out in front and make no effort to accelerate to the speed limit, so instead I have to slow way down or rear-end them.
- misuses of "who" and "that."
- misuses of "eager" and "anxious."
- people who look at their phones during a movie at a movie theater.
- people who willfully disregard the "X items or less" signs at stores.
- Wal*Mart.0 -
When folks complain about others writing sytles when their style is worse......hehe.
not that it matters, but just for the record: i wasnt complaining about writing styles at all, couldnt care less. it was purely about grammar.
oh and something else: people who seem to go through forums all day just to find random strangers they can pick a fight with and take the tiniest thing as a reason to do so.0 -
People saying something is the "most unique" - it's either unique or it's not!
Newspapers that continue a story to another page but break with a hyphenated word - why should I have to go to another page to finish the WORD?
Petty should be my middle name.0 -
gramer nasis
:laugh: so write0 -
Empty containers being put back in the pantry/fridge.
OMG!!!!!! My Adult Husband does this!!!! Drives me NUTS especially when it is something I'm looking forward to. One of these days, I'm going to stoop to his level and get him back Unfortunately, it probably won't bother him one bit :noway:0 -
I hate people.

People that think Darrius Rucker is Hootie
Let's go back further to people who think Jethro Tull was the lead singer in a band:grumble:
And by the way, which one is Pink?0 -

Coming to work sick. If you are not feeling 100%; I should not have to pay you at 100%, let alone the chance of making others sick.
When you try to call in sick (for a legitimate illness) and your manager tells you to suck it up and get your butt into work, or else...0 -

My pet peeve is with people who get annoyed with people with specific grammatical pet peeves who are annoyed with people who misuse grammar.

Well she really does go by the name Pink
Unless you are talking about Pink Floyd0 -
People who "hashtag" everything.
And while we're at it, # is the flipping number sign or the pound sign! I can just see the confusion on kids faces when they come across a sign that says "We're #1!"
Grammar Nazi's who pick apart things on places like Facebook, Twitter and even here. I can understand if you're reading a book because yes you expect there to not be any grammatical errors (drives me bonkers when I catch those in books) but on Facebook or MFP? Give it a rest.
People who go to any length just to prove that they were right about something. News flash: I don't really care. By time you come back to me with all your facts I've pretty much forgotten the conversation.
To name a few:laugh:0 -
