    Latest Peeves:

    - Going to the gym stinking like hot rotten garbage. Sure there's no point showering right before going, but at least baby-wipe those pits or something, dude!
    - You know that lane merges into this one up ahead. I know that lane merges to this one up ahead. There are signs saying so. So why are you matching my speed in that lane up until the very last second? Wish this didn't happen as often as it does!
    - People who think speeding is simply 'risking a ticket' instead of risking an accident that may kill them or others.

    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?

    "Thst," is improperly spelled. Proper spelling would be, "that."

    Consider your nit picked.
    lol. Typos aren't grammatical errors. Their tyeping missteaks. Theirs a big diffurance

    The first that comes to mind is:

    When people say axe when they mean ask.

    When someone asks me to spell my last name more than twice and then ask if I'm sure it's pronounced how I said it.

    When people use the wrong your or you're and there, their or they're.

    People who lie about stupid *kitten*.

    When people try and start talking to a sales clerk when they're busy helping someone else.

    When people assume that my "real" name is Elizabeth when I tell them it's Beth.

    I could go on...but rambling also irritates me.

    I hate it when I go pee in toilet, I always have to lift the lid. Why can't the last person who use the toilet lift the lid so i don't have to.

    People who eat/chew loudly to the point that it's downright smacking and just flat out noisy. It's especially horrible when at work.

    That's why you work out in the middle of the night.

    When I buy things and the labels don't come off easily.

    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.

    The coughing thing. Especially with TB being rife

    Spitting in public, its disgusting and unnecessary. Even thinking about it is making me feel ill!
