Pet Peeve LIF

Beat me to it.

Your pet peeve is the word "pet peeve."

 

Parents who take their small children to movies which are not appropriate for their age/attention span and all the things that result (kids crying, asking questions, having to go to the restroom 10 times through the movie and they sat in the middle of the row).

 

when you buy a deli sandwich and then discover that when they cut it in half they only went 98% of the way through, so then you have to pull the two haves apart, which usualy results in the sandwhich getting all messed up....and forget about if it's a bagel, especially with a soft filling inside - it's like squeezing a toothpaste tube

i dont event want to win, that just annoys me

 

People who type in all caps

 

thread shitting.

 

Line cutters

 

My guess for your pet peeve is: restrictions. All of the special clauses excluding certain groups. Which reminds me of a pet peeve I had when looking at the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp competition a few years ago. There was a restriction that no CA resident could receive any compensation for travel, so everyone else could get their flight paid for...except CA residents for who knows why.

My pet peeve, especially during this weekend, is driving slower than the flow of traffic while in the far left lane or car pool lane. Just got back from a trip to San Fransisco and cannot verbalize my frustration with the slow carpool lane drivers

 

People who scrape their knife and/or fork on their plate?!

 

People who drag the back of their shoes when they walk.

Good LIF!

 

Contests that exclude nearly everyone.

 

People who use the word "literally" to mean either "literally" or "figuratively".

My head LITERALLY exploded when I tried King Henry it was sofaking good.

 

Air quotes....I dont need a visual descriptor to know when you are attempting to be funny or sarcastic, especially when I already know that you are not funny. The only human being who was allowed to use these is no longer among us.

 

I'm going to guess nepotism. Not just when a boss hires the family, but when anyone with an inside advantage benefits over those with merit

 

Legal jargon, including, but not limited to, the term "Void where prohibited."

 

This used to frustrate me a lot.

When nobody gets me what I ACTUALLY want for holidays. I mean, I asked for an iPhone 5, not an iPhone 4S refurb, nomsayin?

 

People who drive while talking or texting on a cell phone...

Thanks!

 

When you're wife criticises you for the amount of money you spend on beer yet can't decide what Coach purse to use that day.

Thanks!!!

 

im changing my answer to "this thread"....my head it starting to hurt

 

People who cluster together on the freeway so you can't drive past.
