Teens and young folk who regularly use profanity in everyday speech like it was nothing.

People who can't pick up on any social cues drive me nuts.

First of all, let me say that I support the rights of people to smoke, businesses to allow smoker to smoke whenever and wherever they choose, etc., and I oppose sin taxes on all legal products.

 

However...if you choose to smoke, do not make a fool out of yourself by spending money on gym memberships and explaining to me all of the healthy benefits of a gluten-free, low fat diet, or Asian ginseng, or any of the other chic health crazes.

 

If you smoke and do not blow smoke in my face, I will support your right to engage in legal, self-destructive behavior 100% but, as you slowly kill yourself, understand this...nothing that you do healthwise can make up for making one of life's worst possible decisions.

There is nothing admirable about that at all.

Like my fat cousin's fat wife who drops f-bombs at the dinner table in front of my grandma. I hate you. You're gross and fat.:puke:

Ah yes. It's that time of year. Family reunion time. :lol2:

When people make things plural by adding an apostrophe before the s.

 

When people don't add an s to words that end in -st when making them plural.

 

Evidently I have plurality issues.

People who use dominate as a noun. The word you are looking for is dominant and I am getting tired of correcting you! :lol2:

When your drivers license and address has a city on it, only to learn that your address is maintained by the county, not the city. Therefore you have to pay the "nonresident" rate for city attractions.

 

So frustrating!!!!!!

I hate disorganized, amibiguous cues. These just lead to inconsiderate people taking advantage of the courteous (and sometimes the unassertive) to play stupid and jump in front to the next open station. Examples: McDonalds registers, Kroger's and Walmart's auto checkout.

 

My recommendation...do it like Wendy's have one line where the next person goes to the next open register.

 

Also add to that the stupid person behind the register who lets people cut line and doesn't have the sense to call them on it, or at least ask "who is next"!

 

This grinds my gears too. I work at an ice cream place in Louisville, and we get people who think they are above the line all the time.

My pet peeve would be threads about pet peeves.

As an avid drinker of sweet tea... I hate waitresses (or waiters) who feel giving me refills of un-sweetened tea, thinking it's the "same difference" (even though they ask me what I'm drinking 60 seconds earlier).

"Rollin' coal"

I'm not some over the top environmentalist, but this irks me.

Give em a ticket.

The poor apostrophe. Seems like it's always misused. That is also one of my pet peeves. I'll bet you already knew that.
