Personal pet peeves. What's yours? |
|
People who (sometimes intentionally) misspell high profile people's names. I'm not going to mention any specifics, but if a person sees a name in the news ten billion times a day, one would think that person would spell the name correctly when referencing him/her.
So what's your pet peeve?

4. people who think in "black & white" terms |

and naive people. Oh and partisan purists and people who don't understand how hard it is keep a cat indoors for at least two weeks.

5. People who use "u" instead of "you" |

Actually, any kind of shorthand at all annoys the hell out of me.

7. Grocery store "in-etiquette" |
|
Far too many pet peeves on this subject to mention them all. But, here are a few:
* reckless and fast driving in the parking lot * unruly and unsupervised children (especially ones pushing those damned kiddie carts) * folks who jump in line at the meat / fish counter * people who obliviously clog the aisles with their carts while gossiping with a friend * kids who taste the "samples" and then toss their used toothpicks with the fresh ones. (I chided a child for doing this last week! The parent was nowhere in sight) * folks with colds or the flu who sneeze or cough while handling all of the produce. (I've seen this happen a lot!)

9. Simpletons who look at a group of |
|
brown-skinned people they've never met and label them as "AY-rabs" or "Mexicans."
They can honestly look at people and immediately tell where they're from? :eyes:

10. America's fascination with people who are considered famous |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 09:27 PM by lenidog
but really haven't done anything to be famous. Like why do I know that Nicky or Paris Hilton exist? Why is Ann Kournikova famous when she has never won a major tennis match in her life.
