Pet Peeves.....Got any?

I will start.
My biggest "pet peeve" is being late. I HATE it. Nothing irritates me more than someone who is constantly late. My dad instilled in me from a young age, "it's better to be an hour early than one minute late."
I once told him, "better late than never". His reply was, "never late is better."

My pet peeve actually involves pets...I hate when people let their dogs use my front lawn as their potty, especially those who don't pick up after them.

BTW, G8rbryan, I would probably not be one of your favorite people. My whole life seems to be running 10 minutes behind. :-)

  What really bothers me are people who are 30 minutes late or more. I dated someone for a few months, I ended it because she ALWAYS an hour late or longer.

I'm not allowed pets by court order, not after the incident with the German shepard, the jam and the vacuum cleaner.

  Lol. I remember you at a bar-b-q and that little kid was driving you nuts because he was chewing like a cow. That was funny!

I hate packaging that is impossible to open without performing something akin to surgery. If I have a choice between products, and one is packaged in that hard to open clear plastic and the other has easy to open packaging, I will always buy the later, even if it costs more.

spelling "a lot" as "alot"
"I could care less"
"ect." instead of "etc."

people who chew gum (and food) with their mouths open
smokers who blow their smoke right at me
hats with flat rims
popped collars
cars that say the make/model name across the windshield

People who arrive early, LOL. Sorry bryan but it's true! Someone said they'd pick me up for a meeting at noon. So sure enough, 11:40 the idiot shows up at my door. Irritated the hell out of me especially since I was still drying my hair. Noon means noon! Or 12:15. I'm good with lateness.

I've got none, either online or in real life. I am equanimity personified.

Stupid people.

And I don't mean ignorant. I mean people who are purposely ignorant, who have no natural curiosity or desire to learn.

They're also usually afraid to travel.

Loud people.

Those people above, also tend to be just that.

Hmm, I think that's it.

Use of the non-existent word "conversate" in ANY context. From where did it come? Normally, not prone to violence, I would like to hunt the person down who first started using this..., this..., this...oh, words escape me! - Nards

  arg, I just saw that it is listed in some dictionaries (as slang). I suppose like a lot of slang it will wither away into obscurity in some dusty dictionary of slang.
  
  the only pet peeve I can this minute think of (if you can call it that) is when I see thread after thread after thread about threads and what people should or shouldn't say or rules, etc. Then again in order to avoid feeling peeved I just SKIP them and move on.

wait, yes, I do have a pet peeve. People who don't read the instructions and I have to keep explaining that the painting for the gallery HAS to fit the parameters set for the space, 23" x 36" x 3/4". I seem to have this one person who has twice now brought her work and they are either the wrong size or wrong dimension! Aaaaaaaaaarg!
