Your Personal "Pet Peeves"....

[DCPatriot]

I'll get it started with two.

1) Drivers who don't accelerate to the speed limit (65 mph) by the time they reach the end of the access lanes.

2) The skin on Canadian Bacon slices that becomes hard and rubbery upon heating.

Liberalism!

Seriously, I'll add a few later.

LOL!  We're talking "pet" peeves.  Not ulcer-producing peeves.   

[mystery-ak]

I have OCD...my pet peeves are countless...

[Bigun]

Liberalism!

Mine is LIES and LIARS!  Which, come to think of it, is the same thing as Liberalism!

Certain common grammar mistakes drive me insane.  If I hear someone say, "should have went", I get a palpitation.  Then, there is the written choose/chose, lose/loose, their/they're/there.  A certain friend of mine will write "we could of won" instead of "we could've".  My twin will never get then/than sorted out.

I ain't no perfect grammar guy, but those things drive me batty.

I hear you. But I have both OCD and ADD.

I can't even remember the last damned thing I was obsessing about.

I'm the world's leading expert on that one! My brain goes about three times faster than my fingers can type!

I HATE hate it when some redneck in a big blinged-out pickup truck (and every other person in my neck of the woods has one) runs right up my ass at night and blinds me with his big honkin' headlights right in my rear window!

That causes road rage with me!

You owe me a cup of coffee and a roll of paper towels!  ROFL!

In years past I have been known to rig a switch on the dash of my vehicle that turns on the brake lights even if I had no intention of stopping or slowing down! Two or three applications of said switch usually convinced even the most determined tailgater to BACK OFF!

Originally from Buffalo, NY.  Everybody there uses "went".  The word "gone" is a foreign concept.

Maybe it's from watching the Cisco Kid as children....when Pancho would say at the end..."Let's went!" 

My ex-wife majored in English.  back in the 70's when I had slipped up a couple of time, she would feign fainting.  LOL!

Still 'love' that woman.  She gave me three wonderfully mannered and beautiful children.

PS:  you forgot the use of "to...too".

Good thing you don't live in Texas!

That's all I'm gonna say bout that!

Have a difficult time picturing you as being ADD, Andy.

Your posts exhibit complex thinking...not the staccato-like style of somebody having concentration or hyperactive issues.

I appreciate that very much. 

But I really do have ADD, as it turns out, late-diagnosed, and relatively low-impact. Sometimes my mind just races from thought to thought, and I have difficulty isolating on one task and then returning to another. The answer (at least for me) turned out to be a very low dose of a common amphetamine (effecting a frontal lobe stimulation).  It seems to shut out the noise without adversely impacting creative association.

ROFLMAO!  You should market that device - I would buy one!!!

I thought about installing...if only for a second or two...a rolling electronic script sign in the rear window.

One that could not only chastise tailgaters, but educate and/or entertain people in traffic jams.

Such as:

...if you voted for Obama in 2012, you're not only a moron...you're a traitor!

Oh, I LOVE that idea DC.......until they follow you home.

1.  people that crowd me from behind when I'm in line.
2.  People that yell to other people across a room rather then walk over
Yep, I went to Costco today
3.  Men (slobs) that wear shorts and/or wife beaters and flip flops while traveling by plane. (unless they are sitting next to other slobs rather than me)

1. is the "ugh". Everything is ugh. It is not an emergency, it is Ugh-mergency. it is not immediate, it is ugh-mediate. I hear this on the radio all the time. Every single word that starts with a vowel becomes 'ugh'. Drives me crazy. I actually applaud when I hear someone say the word right, which is very rare.
 
2. How about the guy who pulls into the Left land at a red stop light. So we all sit through the red light together until it turn green. And as soon as the light turns green, he puts on his left turn signal. What the hell is wrong with you? Couldn't you have let me know you were turning Left? Now I am stuck through another light waiting for this guy to turn because everyone with any sense is in the right lane, where I would have been had I known, and passing me. AAAAAAArrrgh!

Was in the grocery store a few weeks ago, and saw a somewhat plump 40 to 50ish woman dragging two kids with her. She was wearing neon pink polyester shorts with the word 'juicy' printed across her butt. I almost gagged.
