<p>People who comment on other people’s “grammer” – spelled that way.</p>
<p>heck yeah! I swear, just because I don’t place a comma in the right place doesn’t mean I’ve never spoken english before</p>
<p>Actually I fully support the editors. It’s the spelling of grammar that I object to. </p>
<p>Or if you want to be pedantic, “to which I object”. ;)</p>
<p>Ec cetera instead of et cetera. I hate that.</p>
<p>I hate the phrase “at this point in time,” or, to make it even worse, “at this particular point in time.” How about just using the word “now”?</p>
<p>The use of “myself” in place of “me” to try and sound more intelligent. Or have the rules changed? Because it’s becoming much more common.</p>
<p>The use of “I” in place of “me” is bad, too. (“They told my sister and I…”)</p>
<p>I never gave much thought to pet peeves until reading this thread. I find myself nodding in agreement with everyone, so I guess I must have many. Except for maybe the making out one in front of lockers. Too old to relate to that one ;)</p>
<p>My D can’t stand loud chewers, my H can’t stand when the commercials on tv are louder than the programs or that the commercials are all on at the same time, and my other D can’t stand it when reallly tall people sit in front rows!!!</p>
<p>People who whine, about something they have control over -</p>
<p>and a week (or more :eek: ) later are still whining about the same thing, having taken not one single step to improve the situation or resolve the issue. Hmpphh!</p>
<p>People who take a swig of drink while they’re still chewing their food (swallow food, then drink please!)</p>
<p>The myself/me/I one really gets to me, too.</p>
<p>Also, how about people who, just as they get to the end of an escalator, come to a dead stop as they try to decide which way to go. I’m left frantically running in place to avoid a major collision.</p>
<p>People who talk with half-chewed food in their mouth. </p>
<p>My mom does it all the time, but when I ask her nicely to please swallow before speaking she goes into a tirade about my supposed attitude problem and how she’d gladly hear me through half-masticated food once in a while if it meant that I talked more. :eek:</p>
<p>Does she go into the tirades with food in her mouth? That must be a huge peeve.</p>
<p>Thankfully she swallowed beforehand–but why she’d berate me for knowing proper etiquette is beyond me.</p>
<p>People who use scented dryer sheets. I can smell that sickly sweet smell a mile away. And body heat brings out the smell even more. Yuk!</p>
<p>I know, just call me Martha.</p>
<p>Drivers who think it’s sinful to use their turn signals.</p>
<p>my pet peeve is definitely definately haha
people spell it incorrectly all the time on this forum as well and these are like kids that got accepted into harvard and stuff
i “definately” hate it</p>
<p>People who recline their airplane seats ALL the way back during a 3+ hr flight on a cramped aircraft in coach seating. Have a little empathy, people!</p>
<p>Making cancer patients wait hours to see a doctor, then wait 2 more hours to draw blood, then two more hours for a bandage change, only to have to pay $11 or more for parking. Why don’t they hire more people???</p>
