Pet Peeves. Seriously.
Mod
My pets don't have any peeves. Peeveless. Like sleeveless. Y U NO BELIEVE ME?
Tim Tebow.It's not really him that peeves me, it's other people's reactions to him.
SMART-PHONE ADDICTION! Look around any location-- the parking lot, the gym, the supermarket. 75% of the people are either on the phone or playing with their phone. Cars weave across the highway while drivers tweet. Pedestrians wander like zombies in front of speeding vehicles. Intense, sensitive, personal information is spilled willy-nilly for strangers to chuckle over. It's an epidemic. And it's not about being "social." It's about being self-absorbed.I know that Steve Jobs was a genius. Was he responsible for the Smart-phone? If so, thanks for nothin.

"Y U NO" Guy
People who don't smash boxes before putting them in the trash.People who don't rinse their dishes off when they put them in the sink.......and forget getting them to bend slightly to the right and actually put them in the dishwasher.
People who smack while eating. GRRRRRRR
People who make a mess, never have a thought about cleaning it up, and then when you finally get pissed and do it yourself, they always say, "I was about to do that." Oh, really? The shit's been sitting here for 2 days and you were suddenly "about to do it"?
People who are driving slow and when you go to pass them they speed up.

Neither of these addictions is difficult to acquire.
I haven't had a smart phone for over a week. This has been a remarkably peaceful week. I should get a phone in case my car breaks down, though.

People that scrape their teeth on their fork when they eat. Gives me the shivers...And gum smacking
And not chewing with their mouth closed
Just a lack of table manners, I guess!
Parents that let their (short) little children trail after them in parking lots with cars backing up.
It bugs me when people use the wrong pronouns.Example: "Here is a picture of John and I."
or "Me and her don't want no pie." (Notice the double negative in the 2nd example. Another pet peeve.)
Not to say I'm always grammatically correct, God knows I'm not - but damn!
Unfortunately, I fall back on the exclamation point as my punctuation of choice, so I'm sure many people hate it when I post or comment. I say stuff like: "What a beautiful day outside! I love pie!!!": or "I was just thinking of you! You're my favorite facist pig EVER!"
Most of all, I effing loathe L - O - MOTHEREFFING - L! When I see lol, I feel rage. White hot burning rage.
Marissa is feisty. Welcome to TC, Marissa.
I don't have any pet peeves. Have a nice day!

I like peanut clusters in milk chocolate. Dots what I like.
Welcome to TC Marissa, thanks for jumping in.

I don't like it when people try to tell me what the topic of the thread is supposed to be.
Old people that drive 45 pr 55 mph in the middle lane. For one thing, the minimum speed on the expressway is 55. If you don't feel comfortable driving any faster, either use the right lane or the side streets.Men at my college who ask me for my number, then get mad when I either ignore them or say no. I don't know you, I'M NOT GIVING YOU MY NUMBER!
People who don't park within the lines. I might not always park the best, but I will re-park if it's too bad.
When people say milk as "melk". It doesn't have an "e" in it!

Yesterday I was waiting at a railroad crossing. Some guy in sweats was waiting next to me on his scooter. When a car drove up to the railroad crossing, blasting hiphop, he said something about the people in the car having an IQ below 40. I hate when people are prejudiced like that.
It bugs me when people pronounce words starting with "im" as if they started with "uhm."If you watch "Survivor" you hear it all the time, as Jeff Probst encourages people to fight for "uhmmunity."
Speaking of reality tv hosts: when I see Heidi Klum I hear her say Pwaject Wunway.
I hate when people are so self-centered that they have no regard for anyone else. Like Beyonce and Jay-Z, who booked a large amount of the delivery area at one of the hospitals in NYC. The hospital went to great lengths to make sure their child wasn't photographed. What about the other babies at that hospital? Do they not matter? The security cameras were covered with tape. What if something happened there, and they needed video footage?
I hate it when some one opens their car door and dents my less than 900 mile vehicle.
I hate it when I am unable to pick myself up and start on my huge to-do list.
Mod
If that is true (the security cameras being disabled, in particular) it may be because they wanted to hide the baby being born to a surrogate mother. The gossip sites have been saying this for awhile and I think it's entirely possible.
Either way, it's a terrible inconvenience to not only the staff of the hospital, but the mothers/fathers/family members of the other infants there. Also, that seems like a huge safety concern to me.

Yes. It's not like babies have never been stolen from hospitals before.

!@#$%
One: People who stop and talk in the middle of an extremely high traffic area.
Two: I'm driving steadily at the speed limit of 60km/h, speed demon behind me decides to pass & cut in front but then drives slower than the speed limit. (Y U NO KEEP CONSTANT SPEED?!)
Three: ... KEEP.TO.THE.RIGHT.
Four: White socks & black dress shoes.
Five: Litterbugs. Dislike. Dislike. Dislike.
Six: People Who Annoy You
What are your pet peeves?
