    By far my biggest Internet pet peeve is idiots who repost or share political propaganda/rumors/news that is not factual. It drives me crazy & will correct you every time you do it. Stop spreading ignorance!

    Non Internet pet peeves
    Constant clearing of the throat
    clipping your nails in public...freaking guy in cubicle behind me does in all the time.... disgusting!
    pushing your opinions on others & not listening to logic!

    People who are overly cheery and post about it a zillion times a day on Facebook. "Life is grand", "I wake up every morning smiling because my life is just that good"

    People who quote themselves. I have one on my FB feed today. How obnoxious can you get?

    People who wear socks with sandals, People who won't merge until the very last freaking minute then get pissy when you won't let them in. People who fart in public then laugh hysterically. Grow up.
    Farting isn't funny for the people who have to walk through and smell it.
    But I will be honest, I find it hilarious when I'm the one farting and leaving it in a public place. I can't help it! :laugh:

    I hate these people. I have unsubscribed from SO MANY people on my facebook account for this very reason.

    My life is that good. I just don't post it everywhere because it appears to be false bravado. However people who know me also know my charmed life. I tell them my positive attitude causes it.

    CAPS LOCK!!!!
    50 Shades of Gray Threads
    Bacon Threads
    Zombie Threads

    How can you not appreciate a good Zombie thread?! =P


    My serious pet peeve? People who will agree with whatever you say (even if it's the "sky is yellow" and it's blue as can be)

    Lol I think she meant that she's adding sexism to her pet peeves and that she separately agrees with you, too :P

    When a very large woman tells me I'm not feminine enough because I lack her curves and tells me she is the REAL woman... it definitely annoys me. Hey, I think you're beautiful. I don't need to compare myself to you and put you down to make myself feel validated. Why must you?

    People who take EVERYTHING personally. Just because I said I don't like something that you like doesn't mean I'm attacking you. :huh:

    DOTs ask that you use both lanes then alternate when you get to the closure. It's safer and faster for all involved. Additionally, it helps prevent gridlock caused by people lining up in one lane then getting stuck in the intersection when the light changes.

    But can we agree to dislike the people who get to the bottom of the highway ramp. turn on their signal, and....STOP? That is not how you were taught to merge in driver's ed.

    Starting a sentence with "Not to be rude but..." or "No offence but..." - you are guaranteed to be rude or offensive.

    People who "vaguebook" - a vague FB status to get attention.

    Self portraits with outstreched arm. Once in awhile - I get it. Posting them everyday? no.

    I have a son with autism and, no thank you - but I don't need advise on how to raise him.
    I don't need to know what your brothers sisters cousin is doing with his autistic kid. I know people are trying to be helpful, but they're not.

    Also: "totes", "gorj", "adorbs" and "srsly"

    When people hint at things for about 10 minutes when they could tell you in 20 seconds.

    I'm pretty sure the guys that gun it trying to beat everyone in traffic isn't concerned with DOT's preferences. It's all about being first LOL
    LOL @ the highway ramp thing....I can't remember...its been so long since I've been on a highway! I don't think anyone would want me on one seeing as how I don't think I remember the highway rules :bigsmile:
  • The word fine. I HATE it. I think of it as a passive agreesive on-word.

    That or the word SURE...same meaning in my book!!

    I have the same problem. I haven't drank alcohol for MANY years, and people act like it is some kind of crime if you don't drink. I'm sorry, but I am perfectly capable of having a good time without alcohol, and I like to be able to remember what I did to have fun!

    I have so many, where do I start?

    Shopping carts left in the middle of parking lots. Take them to the cart return that's SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR CAR, or take them back in the store. It's not that hard.

    People that stand and talk in the middle of the aisles at the grocery store so that no one can get through.

    People that mispronouce words, but think they're a genius. For example, a lady I work with thinks she's the smartest person in the world, but she can't pronounce October. She calls it Op-tober. Really? I've never noticed Optober on my calendar.

    Toilet paper and paper towels that go under. Everyone knows the paper is supposed to go over, otherwise the print is upside down. Sheesh!

    and the constant use of the word "flap" in the media all the sudden.

    PEOPLE NOT USING TURN SIGNALS!! They are lucky I'm not a jedi because their car would be thrown off the road into a ditch!

    This! Or forgetting to turn off their turn signals when they change their mind.

    People who drive the speed limit or below in the fast lane.

    [I have road rage. It's a problem lol!]

    Business contacts not returning phone calls within 24 hours.

    I was coming in to post the shopping cart thing, it drives me crazy.

    And I love when you say excuse me and ask to pass through they look at you like you are the crazy one.

    I am so with you on that !!

    Add to that people who can not traverse a roundabout in one lane ...driving across in the middle of both lanes is not on !

    People who drive an inch behind my bumper ..my poor car is on its third rear end thanks to these idiots !

    People who turn right on a roundabout in the left lane and cut me up.. it happens almost daily.

    People who charge across roundabouts without looking .. your are supposed to give way to traffic on your right damn you !

    People who drive at 38mph regardless of whether they are in a 30,40 or 60 zone

    I hate driving because there are so many idiots on the roads I want a magic carpet :grumble:
