    I know there was a thread about stuff that everyone else that you hate, but what are your general pet peeves - stuff that you hate no matter what?

    Here are mine:

    • People who are too lazy to Google. For example, if I post something in my Facebook status, like about a band or something, and someone comments "Who are Band of Horses?" If you have the time to type that comment out, you've got the time to Google it. I usually direct them to Let Me Google That For You.
    • Email forwards. I can't believe that, in this day and age, people still forward crap. My mom does it ALL THE TIME.
    • Poor grammar, spelling, punctuation. I also hate "text speak." It takes like point two seconds longer to type "you" instead of "u."
    • When people pronounce words wrong. Like "supposably," "Valentime," etc.
    • People who insist on taking forever to back into a parking space. Just pull in like a normal person.
    • People who talk on their cell phones too loudly in enclosed places. Like an elevator, train, bus, etc. I don't need to know every detail of your conversation. Also, are you a doctor? If not, then no conversation is so important that you have to have it RIGHT NOW.
    • Also, people who spend all of their time texting when they're hanging out with you. I know way too many people like this.
    • Corporate buzzwords. I hear them all the time at work. Whenever someone says something like "corporate identity," "leverage our resources" or "core competencies," I roll my eyes so hard I get a headache.

    I also hate bigotry, ignorance, racism, homophobia, and cruelty to animals. But I wouldn't consider them "pet peeves." It's way deeper than that.

    When someone sends me a text msg and I call them right after reading it, yet they don't answer their phone.

     

    "ummm....didn't you just use your phone to text me?"

    people on the bus that insist on pushing you out of the way just so they can stand a tiny bit closer to the door.  I call it the "2 foot shuffle", and it irritates me like none other. It's not like that extra 2 feet are going to get you to your destination any quicker, but I guess people just get antsy or something.

    Oh, grammar is a big one of mine too.  I hate the misuse of your/you're and there/their/they're.

    I also can't stand to listen to people eat.  I used to think it was just smackers and people who chew with their mouths open, but I've learned I just really can't stand being around anyone eating when there's no other noise.

    I have a lot of driving pet peeves too, like not using turn signals and blocking business entrances in stopped traffic.

    I have too many.  Easily irritated.

    Right now the one that comes to mind is when people don't turn off their engines in the border line up.  Dude.  There is no need to idle for like THIRTY MINUTES.  Turn off the engine!
