1. People who merge s-l-o-w-l-y onto the high.
2. Driving SLOW in the left lane (s/b #1, actually).

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.

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???

Overuse, and improper use, of the word ‘like’.

Gosh, I guess that pretty much sums it up.

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

2. Driving SLOW in the left lane (s/b #1, actually).
Worth repeating.

People who cause traffic jams by gawking at an accident on the other side of the damn highway.

People who use the restaurant as the name of the food, i.e., “I had McDonald’s for lunch.”

Things that annoy, irritate, BUG me! And I run across this stuff all the time and it drives me crazy. What is bugging you? (Millee the article you posted wrapped it up really well ... generally, it’s people stepping all over other people with NO thought for anyone but themselves ... selfish, boorish, baseline idiots in other words!)

- people who spit in public all over the place and then I have to walk around their spit! It’s disgusting.

- used car commercials where the local owner does the whole commercial SCREAMING at you! I mute it or flip it, don’t they know that? Do they really think somebody is sitting through all that enthralled with his fantastic delivery?

- Networks that let you watch the first 1/2 hour of a movie uninterrupted and then increasingly add commercial breaks until you think you’ll go mad! Can’t even remember what movie you were watching by the last half hour. USA does this a lot.

- people who allow their children to run all over in public practicing their brat routine. (just in grocery store a few days ago and one family was just nightmarish! One child CRAWLING on the groceries on the shelf, the other one yelling ‘Gimmeeeeeeee!’ until daddy ‘gave’ him what he wanted ... unbelievable. I switched lanes.

- RUDE pickup truck drivers who feel they have the right to tailgate, or go screaming around you because you’re doing five over the speed limit and not 15!

- Advertising JUNK left in my yard and hanging on my door. One in particular is from a chip stone place and they leave a bag of the stuff with a note attached! What a waste and you can’t put it in recycling so in the kitchen trash it goes every month.

Ohhhhhh I’m sure I could go on and on but ... rant over for today.
