Pet Peeves

ppl who type like they txt. I mean srsly?

I don't even abbreviate while texting. It bothers me and because I'm a grammar nazi, I can't send it that way.

Me either. It takes a bit more time but at least you can read and understand what I'm saying. Sometimes I'll type "IDK" but that's only when I"m seriously lazy.

I was watching one of those murder p*rn shows and this woman killed her husband and pretended like he was still alive by texting friends and family. They knew something was off because he used the short versions of texting and she was using full-on sentences.

Dishes in the sink and using more than one glass at a time

Glad we're not friends - new cup every time I go to the kitchen! Sorry Not Sorry

When you're talking to someone face to face and they're texting on their phones. Well, I'll go and enjoy the rest of my day then!

Right!

Here's one that's common on this site: lose vs. loose.

Once we lose weight, our clothes become loose.

lose = /looz/ to fail to keep or hold

loose = /loos/ not tightly fastened, attached, or held; not pulled or stretched tight

According to the merriam-webster.com site, those /oo/ should actually be a u with two dots on top, but I don't know how to do that.

Has anyone ever told you that you are their pet peeve? I start conversations about how I wonder what non-Christians feel when wished "Merry Christmas", or how many people might be deeply offended by the term "grammar Nazi". No one else is curious about these things when I bring them up. I've been told repeatedly to stop over-analyzing things and that it's annoying.

ETA: the spacing was weird with the link and it was irritating to look at

ghetto speak :noway: It seems to be "popular" right now where I live to sound as stupid/ignorant as possible. We can throw Ebonics in there too if you want. I used to have a foster daughter who I swear to you could not speak proper English if her life depended on it because that was what her mother taught her. :noway: (I could rant about this at length but I won't)

General stupidity - this explains why I hate Walmart so much... :laugh:

My upstairs neighbor smoking in his bathroom and turning the fan on so that it all rolls down into my apartment so that my asthmatic self can suck cancer :smokin: If I wanted to smoke I wouldn't have quit 3 years ago, thanks! :grumble:

When my husband leaves his dirty laundry on the floor or worse, throws it AT the basket but it misses and he doesn't put it in the basket!! OMG what are you 2 years old?! Pick it up you lazy bum! :explode:

and with that I'll leave it be, if I told you everything about my husband that is a pet peeve... well I might break the server. :laugh:

People dont get the drift you dont like them

:laugh: this! ^
I take a more direct approach of telling people I don't like them, subtly has it's place but not when you're annoying the hell out of me. :grumble:

Country style decorating that includes stuffed animals wearing clothes.

How can you not like stuffed animals wearing clothes?

People who want to LOOSE weight and people who want to know how to deal with LOSE skin....

omg I was just complaining about this to my husband yesterday when reading my emails. lol My other one is people who ask me what my "secret" is and when I say just eating good food at a deficit and being more active and their eyes start to gloss over and they quickly respond with oh I could never do that, or I guess that works for you or some other diet "tip" they heard on dr oz or the o channel. uggg That annoys the crap out of me so I avoid these types of conversations like the plague unless I know that they are really serious about doing the work it takes.

I have a few pet peeves but my biggest...

food related noises!!! Open mouth chewing, the sound of cutlery against plates, crunching, slurping. It's not even a typical pet peeve, I've have stopped talking to people and on one or to occasions either snapped and gone off on someone or smacked them. It's pretty bad, it even causes a twitch, so I warn people.
