When late night shows have "animal experts" as guests.
when people write 08' to symbolize "2008"
...'08....
people who over-pronounce the 't' in "often"
people who are too lazy to vote but bitch about politics
people who talk on their goddamn cell phones while you're trying to have a conversation with them ("texting" applies as well)
the sound of someone else or myself accidentally biting a fork or any other silverware
when people confuse you're and your or there, their, they're
formulaic and overrated sitcoms or crime-related series
gossip
when you buy some tylenol, and you have to open the box, then take off the shrink wrap on the bottle, then open the bottle, then take out that wad of cotton
when people say "two thousand six" (or insert any other number) for the year instead of "twenty O 6". I mean did you call 1999 "one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine"? huh, didya?
i say two thousand six, but i see what you mean
i also hate it when people talk on cell phones on the train
Pen lids.
People who wear sunglasses indoors.
Over-usage of cell phones.
people saying "you and me" when its "you and i"
or when people say seen when its supposed to be saw
when your watching a movie, and someone quotes what is just about to be said. or when something funny is said then someone asks if i "seen that" then re-tells the joke or action.
obnoxious eaters.
Quotepeople saying "you and me" when its "you and i"
agreed, but I think it's even worse to say 'you and I' when it should be 'you and me', because it's pretentious.
haha, i knew a family who were good friends of a girl i dated who said "shauna and I" or "andrew and I" no matter if it should've been "..and me" or "...and I". And I know what you guys mean. That one actually is more of a bother, because it's not just inattentiveness to grammar, but over-agressive correction.
Actually, now that I think about it, I think the kids just corrected the girl I dated so many times on (and I think they were normally right) that the started just substituting "...and I" for everything in order to never be wrong.
Frustrating.
Even though I'm an English major, I'm generally not bothered by that, but sheesh.
When people think a Yellow light means FLOOR IT, while talking on a cell phone and putting on make-up at the same time.
Only 2 squares left on the toilet paper roll. and no backup roll. ( hello sock :)).
Wet Band-Aid on a pool deck! >:(
OH i thought of another one!
when you're in a carful of people or just in a very populated place and music comes on and someone sings along to the music and is either tone deaf or doesn't know the words, hanging on to last syllables of each.

when folks substitute "loose" for "lose".
when people say "hode" or "code" when they mean "hold" or "cold".
When people pronounce the "L" in ideal.
When people say their phone number that has a zero in it and call it an "O". (no disrespect MMJ fanatic, I just can't stand it)
Cars that don't come with turn signals, using them is fucking law, it doesn't matter if you're in a turning lane or no one's around. Fucking use it.

really loud arbitrary tones from my stereo which has ribbon tweeters in it that also happened to blow last year and I'm thinking it was from really loud arbitrary tones.
Quotepeople who think liberals are open minded
I'm gonna have to call you on this one.
While I agree that there is a notion out there that you must "conform" to the singular-open-mindedness of so-called liberals (just ask any Louisville liberal about 8664, for example), I would argue that in general, American liberals are certainly more open to ideas than say the neo-con movement that's in the ashes of defeat right now. The touchstone issues for them that are associated with the far religious right, which isn't open for any new ideas (just witness what happened to the conservative preacher who wanted global warming to be part of his church's mission), or just mention "Iraq" and you get the standard party line-stay the course, don't cut and run, etc.
How would you disagree? (as I know you do)
Would that be the same conservative preacher that was buying crack from his male masseuse? no shotgun finsh for your buddy :o.
nah, the guy who was removed for even asking for environmentalism to be discussed as part of the church's mission statement.
disregard the "YOUR" in my previous post. Should be " You".
Maybe we should rethink the tax exemption status for all churches? if they want to get into politics and try to shape public policy to reflect only the values of there religon not excepted by many. Churches should give the money they give to politicians and lobbiests to the needy.
Sorry to go tangent.
Back on topic, I forgot a pet peeve.
Drug abusing preachers who enjoy Rub & tugs and hugging trees.
when people use internet lingo in real life.
that's just nto riight

what sense does that make?

I simply made the statement,
people who think liberals are open minded. No more, no less, no comparisons, no longitudinal studies, no more nothing than that statement. That's one of
my pet peeves.
(pwn't)
getting stuck behind tall people at gigs you 1. paid a lot of money to go to and 2. REALLY want to see where 3. the taller people do not give a shit and 4. talk the whole way through
another pet peeve is that my brother is 6'6" and i'm only 5'7...
being tall and worrying about short people.
actually, I'm kidding sort of. it doesn't bother me like a pet peeve, but i do always feel very guilty in a crowd at shows, because i'm definitely 6'3" and I need to make sure no one's getting dwarfed. not a pet peeve at all, but i do feel very responsible for making sure the people behind me can see.
serious pet peeve, men (namely "men" - probably more accurately "boys" - somewhere right around my age) who don't respect girls our age. Or women at all. The kind who don't see anything wrong with pornography, and don't feel ashamed to talk about it, or act crudely in mixed company. Not that it'd even be alright with just guys, but in the company of women, completely out of line.

At least you care! Many people have blocked my view and never looked back once. I'm 5'5", it's rough out there. ;)
about three years ago, when i was twelve ish, i went to see the white stripes with my brother and people felt bad for me 'cos i was so little and young looking that they let me move ahead of them.
i wish i was still in that situation...
Tom took good care of me, back in Nashville... Being 5'5, I'm livin' up the Ewok thing.

I don't see pornography as degrading to women, maybe a little though. The way I see it is that both men and women are taking part in it and both obviously have no morals. Maybe its degrading to our culture as a whole or something.
Or mabey it's just AWESOME!!
I guess I don't have friends that do this anymore. But i used to hate when people would be eating something greasy like potatoe chips and then proceed to use my tv remote or video game conrollers without wiping there hands off and get the controller all greasy.
QuoteOr mabey it's just AWESOME!!
Yes, that too.......Who doesn't love girl on girl action?

when people ask if I am going to be a teacher because I am 3 days away from graduating Penn St. with an English degree.
The biting of forks and spoons drives me nuts, as well.
Chewing gum or food with mouth open. My God does that drive me crazy.
People who listen to "country" music on the radio, or people who come from a small town like myself (damascus,MD) and feel that they live the lives of those "country" songs because cows are in the town. That is tedious pop music with the same studio band for what seems like 90% of the "country" stars.
Joe Paterno preaching that no one single person is bigger than Penn St. University, yet look at what he has done to the program. Don't tell me I don't respect him either. I have been going to the games since I was 6, and I am 23 now. And countless family members have gone to PSU, so I know my history!!!!! ;D
I'll throw it out there and will get yelled at-- most Nirvana fans.
Parents who don't even attempt to control their kids, especially in public!
and that teeth on silverware sound, I think thats been mentioned.

Thanks! That's awesome. I could never handle being a teacher. I respect what they do, but could never have the motivation or courage to be one.
people who won't take "no" for an answer or who can't be alone for even 5 minutes. i am in the middle of an annoying episode dealing with one of those types. aarrgh.
crackberry addicts- i think someone else mentioned this. my brother is the worst with this. always texting or playing games on the thing. one of these days i am gonna yank it away from him and crush it.
i also can't stand eating with little forks, it just makes food taste wrong.
When the only way to find out about a news story on a website is to 'watch the video'.........maybe I just want to READ it and not wait for the stupid video to load!

I know! I hate when people do that. I just wanna gank it away and yell, "Damn! What's so hard about face-to-face interaction?"
But then they'd just pick it up and send someone a text message about what a bitch I am.

I think it's often about intimacy issues. Once I was out to eat with my brother and he was texting away, and I started getting upset with him telling him how emotionally unavailable he was, blah, blah, blah. All the while he kept texting, and i was like, are you even listening to me? And he said, yeah, i'm typing myself a memo of what you're saying because it's really helpful. We never made eye contact during that whole exchange. Bizarre. :-/

what's up with people talking like they would if they were sending text messages? i called my younger brother to ask him about some weekend plans, and instead of saying "i dont know" he said "i d k."
one of my interns says "OMG" instead of "oh my god." i showed him something funny the other say, and he SAID "lol." he laughed, and in the midst of laughing out loud, told me he was laughing out loud.
:-/
i am too old (not really, but...) to get all those internet little lol, omg, wtf things down. i think those might be the only abbreviations i know. it takes me forever to send a text. i don't do it unless i have to, like at a show.
my #1 pet peeve
people who are passive aggressive. just say what you mean. you'll feel a whole lot better. i don't say anything behind anyone's back i wouldn't say to their face. some people can't handle that. they want to talk trash and not air out the dirty laundry. i am too upfront and don't like to waste time thinking about how someone did something....i just tell them...hey man, you know, i felt bad when you said ____ or did ____.
Eating off of pewter plates, bowls, etc. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

My #1 pet peeve: people calling things "weird." Especially music. You listen to all of Kid A in its glory, the new Akron/Family, and the best selections of Animal Collecive, and all you have to say about it is "weird"??? That totally strips the music of everything it means.
