gum smacking.
beating your kids and yelling at them in the supermarket.
ignoring your obnoxious kids in the supermarket.
not hiring a sitter when your kids are in a mood and you have to go to the supermarket.
the sound of a spoon scraping in a bowl followed by a slurping sound.
(my most ridiculous peeve as i obviously do this myself)
bass that you can hear forever when a car passes.
people who think you owe them respect when they dont offer it to others.
looking at my list...noise must be my biggest pet peeve. lol
(though i live just fine within it when i live in the city)
what's yours?
-
Kids that wear their pants around their knees and then try to look cool walking...
Left lane campers....
Wives that find a list of things for you to do when you have time off during Christmas...
People that wear Raider gear for the image, not the team...
Bears fans that suddenly forget how badly they've sucked since 1986 and suddenly believe their team has been a dominent NFC team for 2 decades...
People that hold a grudge...
French Software Engineers...
Middle Eastern men who are so choked with pride that they cannot admit to a mistake in a public forum... (work related for me..)
Indian men who can't loosen up for 5 minutes and say a few swear words....
People who have difficulty multi-tasking.
Parents that call their kids "Stupid" or "Dumb".
Procrastination, I have no tolerance of any who procrastinates, including myself...
-
David Letterman slobbering all over his fingers and inundating every piece of paper he handles (I've e-mailed him about it but not holding my breath).
-
People that hit the brakes and slow down when changing lanes.
People talking on cell phones when driving.
People that walk down the middle of the street.
Chicks that don't put out after the third date.
-
ya. not a big fan of people who can't admit their mistakes either. wherever they are from.
-
Off the top of my head: left lane campers.. or four lane wide barrages of cars for no reason at all is one of the few things that irritated me to no end when I was in the US.
One of these days I'll have to film some french parents berating their kids. Sometimes you wouldn't believe it without seeing it.
-
Using the word "One" as a pronoun. It's a moral struggle every time I hear it as to whether or not I will get up and just start punching the person in the face.
-
bit-chey receptionists.
-
Parents don't beat their children enough in the grocery store. I can't stand to see kids running wild thru the store while Mom acts like she is on vacation. If the little devils saw other kids getting beaten for acting like wild dogs, they would stop it themselves.
Note to parents: The grocery store is not Six Flags, Chuck E. Cheese or the McDonald's playground. The store manager is not a ride operator, babysitter or surrogate parent.
-
i covered that stuff in the following peeves.
right with you on that one. in fact, i think that the grocery store should become a right of passage at say, 12 or 13.

One who looks at me funny when I beat my kids in the supermarket.
One who turns their nose up because I wear Raider gear and pants down to my knees.
When all of the cars around me speed up in unison every time I switch lanes.
One who thinks that I’ve ever been wrong.
One who tailgates me as I cruise in the left lane of the freeway at 62 mph.

appearantly our peeves have just been eskimo all this time.

Everything you guys have posted so far and those freaks on the road ( highway or other) that make a left hand turn from the right hand turn land crossing 3 lanes of traffic, and then hit their brakes half way through their stupidity movement.
Oh had to edit I forgot this, the world is made up of 90% stupid drivers, and 10% that have to deal with the stupid ones.

political correctness
politicians
a kitchen full of dirty dishes (which the majority are from a lazy bellybutton roommate) and an empty dishwasher.

people that park in the fire land because "the're just going in for a minute".

White People.

Door slammers, stompers, screamers (condo neighbors :mad: )
"Nucular" and "intergrate" spoken by newscasters and experts.

Hehehe my friends and I have been known to team up on the highway to do that to "cowboys" as we call them up here. (Extremely Reckless drivers)
One of these days we'll probably get shot.
At the same time though, my pet peeve is definately people going 35 or slower in a 65, making it incredibly dangerous to switch lanes yourself, and making you cringe every time a car is in your rear view mirror.
Oh, and people who've been calling my work for the past SIX YEARS since immigrating and STILL haven't learned to say "hello, is so and so there?" I'm sorry, but that just screams of extreme laziness, or sheer stupidity.

People who can't sing the National Anthem like it was written, but seem to think they need to change it and run all over the octave range to show what a talented singer they are. (Mariah Carey wannabees)
Mariah Carey
Liberals :rofl
People who state their opinion as the "definitive fact" and can't bring themselves to admit it is just their opinion, no matter how much they believe it.
Rap music
Those who live with a sense of entitlement and don't think they should have to actually hold down a job like the rest of us.
Kids who live like little freaking kings at their parents expense, while insulting their parents whenever they get a chance.
Adam Sandler and the crappy movies he makes.
long toe nails
#1 on this list is still my #1 pet peeve

purposeful punishing rudeness.

Tell them you're pagan. Christmas is a holiday created by the church which coincided (ironically) with the Roman feast holiday of Saturnalia (Dec. 17-Dec.23) and from the reign of Emporer Aurelian on Dec. 25th 321CE erected a temple to Sol Invictus due to a greater interest of the Roman Empire in solar worship.
In addition the Nativity during those times was celebrated, traditionally, on January 6th-7th which was changed to the 25th of Dec. to usurp the old pagan Roman holiday.

OK Filth cover your ears.....
Hey guys did you hear that Filth broke into a couple of houses to get the uber Christmas presents his kids wanted?? They are so spoiled. He "told" me the reason he did it was because his mayor said it was OK to steal because he did it all the time....dirty politician. Don't tell Fith I told you all this, I want him to still think that I think he's an OK guy.
You can uncover your ears now Filth o'le buddy!!!:D

To spot the irony I would have to have knowledge of the racial makeup of the original poster. A bit of knowledge that can not be gained through the reading of a website forum.

People who stupidly misunderstand what I post on a BB and then attack me for what I didn't say.
People who completely understand what I post and then attack me for what I did say, thus making me feel stupid.
In traffic, driving too slowly and not getting out of the way. Then flashing their lights at me when I do get past as if I had done something wrong.

My top ten pet peeves:
1. Procrastinators
2.
-
My pet peeve is the incorrect usage of the English language so predominant just about anywhere you see or hear it. I am speaking of it's use in posts, on the radio channels ingame, spoken by those around you at work or in other public places.
It just takes a little practice for someone to improve their language skills. All one needs to do is make a habit of trying to improve it. To each thier own I suppose.

I'm sure you meant-
My pet peeve is improper use of the English language. Just about anywhere you see or hear it - in posts, on the in-game radio channels, at work or public places...
It only takes a little practice for someone to inprove their language skills. All one needs to do is make a habit of trying to improve it.
To each their own I suppose...
My pet peeve is people who constantly think they need to correct my spelling and grammar.

Hehe Hornet, thank goodness I have no kids!
Oh I forgot one other thing that irks me. When a woman starts to cry, and she takes her finger tip and touches the tearduct, hauling out the tear and looks at it, and rubs it between thumb and forefinger like its oily.
I dont know why..it just irks me.

That certainly is a different way to put it and I did note where I could have worded it better. Of course I knew full well that I was setting myself up for corrections of my own use of the language. :D

Among many grammar errors I often see, the use of "then" in the place of "than" totally eats me up.
Example: Coca-Cola is better then Pepsi.
Gawd...I freakin' hate that.

"It's" means "it is."

Edited for proper usage/structure:
My pet peeve is the predominance of improper English, spoken or written, just about anywhere English is common. I am speaking of its use in posts, on the radio channels ingame and in speech by those around you, at work or in other public places.

A while back there was a thread posted here titled "should of just killed him".
I think only like two people here noticed.
I don't have a problem with incorrect english unless it's so bad that the person is saying something that means something different or even opposite of what they are intending to communicate. Oh and redundant punctuation, why don't people understand that no matter how many you stack the value is still 1?
Oh yeah, I got a chuckle out of "Anybody tried parachuting?".

I don't know that only two people noticed, it's more likely that only two people said something. Bad grammar abounds these days. I have well-educated co-workers who write like 6th grade remedial English students. I just don't get it.
In fact, I'm not even going to point out the errors in your post. :) I'd rather fly.
