    People from other countries talking in their own language...kind of annoying cause they talk loud too...

    seriously? or are you just being satirical? i live in a city where people were genuinely angry about that for a fairly long time, is why i'm unsure.

    i used to be bothered by the text/mobile thing. then i remembered how many people resent it that i read so much, and how intrusive their resentment usually feels. different medium, same psychological dynamic, i think.

    I don't hate the people per se, but just their actions:

    You just need to try harder.

    women who dribble pee all over public toilet seats . . . . AND JUST LEAVE.

    this one causes me actual corrosive rage, so it's better i don't even start trying to try to say some of the things that i think about it.

    people who own dogs annoy me when they go around with that expectant smirk on like they haven't realized yet some people just don't give a damn about them. i didn't even act like that when i had a kid. and my kid was adorable :p

    People using pacific and specific wrongly and saying expresso instead of esspresso lol

    "persay". i know it's precious of me to know that it's really the latin expression 'per se', but i do know it and this spelling embarrasses me on the person's behalf, every time.

    I completely agree on per se.
    Also when people say 'mute' point instead of 'moot' point.

    yes, i'm serious. I live in the Los Angeles area. I take public transportation to work everyday. The phone conversations are loud, sometimes I can understand what's being said but mostly it's annoying especially in the morning cause most commuters at that time are quiet, reading, listening to their music with working earphones, and most are in a contemplative mode. I'm like, why do we need to hear your conversation? We are boxed in for a period of time but cannot escape your conversation..

    I don't hate people per se, i hate that fact that it is illegal to stop their thought processes... permanently.

    ah okay. that's just unnecessary loudness then. personally, i find it easier to blank a conversation i don't understand than one that i do, but neither one is exactly easy.

    i just never understood the monoglot weirdos around here who'd be all 'speak english!' at new canadians like it was something a person could just push a button and do if the yeller just got aggressive enough. usually people who had years in an organized education system to learn french themselves, and can't say much more than 'tabernac' and maybe the voulez-vous thing. like, the illogic of it used to tie me in knots.

    When people alienate, their allies! Don't burn, that bridge & then hope, I'll send; a boat!

    My pet peeve isn't abhorrently incorrect punctuation. And also when people in the left lane drive right next to a car in the right lane at the same speed.

    My pet peeve is when someone, means to type "is" but mistakenly types "isn't" instead, all while judging me for my grammar; eyes on your own keyboard! Lol you can't make, this stuff up!

    "then" for "than"
    "dinning" room for "dining" room
    "axe" for "ask"

    Mrs. Dash does that also! Does the temperature, rapidly change extremely; where you store it? I am unable to keep that or bread in my kitchen because it becomes soggy/moldy, in half the time; between when I buy it & it's suppose to expire, if I do!

    I have The Boxcar Children book set & the word "queer", in it; isn't concerning sexuality but it's meaning within it, might confuse; modern children.

    I am always prepared with, irrefutable documentation because otherwise, my word's just an opinion!

    So if you keep bread in the refrigerator it lasts for weeks longer. For salt, if you add uncooked regular rice, it absorbs the moister and stops it from clumping.

    I just carry around a little gavel. And when I'm done stating my opinion/argument etc. I just pound the gavel. Plus, if somebody wants to continue to argue with me I can always pound them in the head with it... ;)
    I'm a magistrate so i often get to use a gavel, power corrupts! when men/ boys come into the courtroom with hats on and or low slung pants... $100 fine for contempt and if they whine a night in county as well, (we have warning signs) i would prefer sending them to the chair though but that is out of my purview. not a sexist policy we fine for exposed underwear as well.
