1. People who merge s-l-o-w-l-y onto the high.
2. Driving SLOW in the left lane (s/b #1, actually).
3. People who chew with their mouth open.
I could go on all day. ;o)

Wearing a Bluetooth and talking on it while in public.
Chewing gum while dancing (students KNOW what I’ll do to them!)
Over cooked shrimp.

1. People who talk/leave phone on during a movie.
2. People who think that just because their dog is little, it’s ok to let it run around the neighborhood unchecked.
3. Senior citizens that think their age gives them the right to cut in line ALL THE TIME like noone else is even standing there.

What is one of my strongest pet peeves? People who ask their own questions and answer them.
Why does this bother me so much? I do not know but it really, really does.
Do I have plenty of other petty pet peeves? You bet I do but as I read this thread this is the first one I thought of.
Do I have anything other to do today rather than sit at the computer? No, not much.

Do I think your respone is funny? Yes, I pretty much do.

Pet peeves include being annoyed by things such as people who use improper grammar, being cut off on the freeway.
My pet peeve is people who carp about improper grammar and then commit a grammar faux pas. See if you can spot it.

OMG, audible chewing is disgusting. I have hung up on people who eat while they’re on the phone with me. Politely, of course - I say, “It sounds like you’re busy, so why don’t I call you back after lunch? Thanks!” and hang up.

Being forced to use only one square of toilet paper is pretty nasty, would become a “pet peeve” of a good many, and thus has the potential, IMO, to turn the nation into one gigantic war zone. And this ban on incandescent light bulbs - what’s up with that???
To: Millee
Overuse, and improper use, of the word ‘like’.

“Senior citizens that think their age gives them the right to cut in line ALL THE TIME like noone else is even standing there.”
One of mine is people using “noone” instead of “no one”. Guess I missed the memo on that becoming acceptable.

Good one! I really needed a chuckle this morning...
Didn’t mean to attack you specifically, but that drives me crazy every time I see it, and it seems to be an “internet thing”. The only “noone” I know was the singer for Herman’s Hermits!

As George Carlin once said: “I don’t have pet peeves. I have psychotic f#$*ing hatred.”

Not quite! But you do get points for actually remembering that term.
