    I agree with all of your peeves, OP -- even though some of them I have never noticed until you pointed them out.

    My biggest ones are just misspelled words. Chipotle as 'chipolte' is probably my biggest spelling peeve because I hate the way it sounds when mispronounced and I hear that in my head when I read the misspelled version.

    I also cannot stand misspellings like "high heals", "sandles", "protien", "cloths" (instead of clothes), "purposal", "anziety", "tatoo", "exzercize", "and so on. I think maybe tatoo is an acceptable alternative spelling but it still drives me crazy.

    I fully admit that I can be overly picky about proper spelling, especially when it is a very common word/term or if you say something like "Sileane Deonn is my favorite singer" I bristle at that, because really...she's your favorite singer and you can't spell Celine Dion after seeing it on the dozens of album covers that are undoubtedly part of your longtime collection?

    ;-)

    I was hoping to see 'loose weight' in this list...

    I actually see "loose wait" a lot.
    She's also the girl that interchanges they're/their/there, your/you're, ect.

    4. Pictures of you sweating after a workout. We get it, you worked out hard and congrats on the hard work ! But sometimes, those sweaty pics just aint the business.or you as well. But "-36lbs in 6 weeks!" captions ? Enough said.

    "ain't" ain't a word:)

    I hate pets. . .except fish. . . I like fish. .they don't poop on the rug.

    This is why I have tile throughout.
    So my fish don't poop on it.

    This is just so sad...most fish are easily paper-trained. The key is consistency.

    What irks me is this blaming others aka the infamous "sabotage" theory. Lol..

    I tried toilet training my fish...... it didn't work out as well as hoped.

    I think have a new pet peeve or two: people complaining about all of the negativity on MFP forums and whining about topics being posted under the wrong categories.

    I'm not saying those people are wrong, but it's not very interesting to read.

    OK, I have to explain this.. can't stand ignorance whether intentional or not.

    In North America, lbs are used. But, that's not the only continent in the world on MFP.

    In the UK you'll often see Stone.

    Pretty much anywhere else is metric and will use kg and/or pds (an actual 500 gram pound).

    Now maybe you won't be so irked anymore.

    As for the rest of your rant: whatever.

    *Edited to add "only"

    My pet peeve is people who write pointless threads about how other people annoy them and believe it's motivational.











    Oops. I just meant to think that.

    Women who come on here to starve themselves to death! They ask, "Do you all think I'll look good at 5 foot 10 and 95lbs? If I stop eating for a month or so I should look great!" Everyone answers, "No, you'll look like a dead corpse". Then the go on and on about "haters" who are actually kind of freaked out at an obvious suicide plan. It makes me crazy.

    BTW, have you ever seen a shark take a dump...epic... and yellow grossness. I just thought I'd put that out there. As not too many big sharks will fit in household tanks.

    do you feed them something special for the consistency?

    Fine fine - another pet peeve is punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. Seriously though, it's not that hard to use periods...or know that "i" should be "I".

    I didn't take the OP as being disrespectful, at least not any more than any list of peeves necessarily would be.

    I hadn't really ever thought of any of the peeves in the OP, so I guess they would not be pet peeves for me. Misspellings don't bother me either, as going by my own personal posts I tend to assume they are as much poor typing skills as poor spelling.

    My personal pet peeve re: health and exercise is saying any type of exercise is useless. Be it cardio, bodyweight, light weights @ high reps, walking, running, whatever.

    Yes, but can they be paper trained? I'd be interested in a Hammerhead, as long as they can be trained to use Pee Pad for when I'm away at work.....
