We all have little things thst drive us batsh*t crazy, right. What are some things you detest?

I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi. I was raised by an English teacher, so I tend to correct others when they aren't grammatically correct (it's a sickness. I know). One of the things that makes me want to scream is:

I could care less

COULD? Could means that there's a possibility that your level of concern is elevated above zero. Therefore, it's possible for you to care less. The correct phraseology is :

I COULDN'T care less.
COULDN'T means that it is impossible for you to have any less concern than you have currently. Zero fks given, if you will.


Am I just a sicko, or are there other nit-pickers afoot?

    Young women who post "I'm stalled. What am I doing wrong?" Then you click their profile and see that they weigh 112.
    I couldn't care less that they are not loosing weight.

    Trainers that blindly believe caliper readings and tell their clients dumb **** like they just gained 10kg of muscle while losing 10kg of fat.

    I cannot stand blatant ignorance. I'm not asking you to be a rocket scientist, but goodness gracious, stop being an idiot.

    Ummm I have a lot, but my big one that really controls my life is my intolerance to a lot of noises. especially food related noises like chewing or crunching. I get so mad at myself everytime I get annoyed with someone when they are eating with me, but I swear I can't help it. Noises just bother me so much!

    I hate when I buy things and the price tag doesn't come off easily. Irks me no end.

    Continuous beeping noises.

    People who cough in public and don't cover their mouths.

    Loud talkers on otherwise quiet trains.

    Oh so many!

    People who refuse to listen to reason.
    Folks who are bombastic (although saying bombastic is almost bombastic!)
    People who chew with their mouths open. Please Please keep the food in there, it makes me stare to see how much falls out.
    Finally

    People who laugh at others when they try to workout. :( At least we are trying you can piss off. *grumble*

    Here's some more:

    Muscle weighs more than fat.
    Spam.
    Fishing for compliments.
    The word "try". Indicates zero commitment. In the words of Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try."
    Using texting slang or abbreviations.
