I hate, hate, HATE it when people use the word “defiantly” instead of “definitely.” I just read a Facebook status from one of my friends, saying she’d enjoyed her vacation and she’d “defiantly” visit that town again. It took all I had not to leave a snarky comment on the status asking why she would be so defiant about visiting.
I hate when people post every second of their vacation on Facebook
That’s the problem with an overreliance on spell-check.
I once ordered a guitar and guitar case from Amazon. My $600 guitar came in a single layer cardboard box. Damaged in shipping. The box, thankfully, not the guitar. The $80 case came in a double layered box with packing peanuts.
:smack:
Up here in the “Great White North” we are taught to leave enough space when stopped so that we can easily see the rear tires of the vehicle in front of us, about 6 to 8ft.
I was told by my instructor that this is to reduce multiple impacts from one rear collision in icy weather.
Companies that are making profits but laying off employees. Yes, I know you
want to save money so you can take over your competitor or raise your
profits from 17.25% to 17.26%. But do you have to do it now? Can’t it
wait until the unemployment rate drops to under 5%?
I was told to do this at red lights by my daughter, who was sixteen at the time and fresh out of driving school. She suggested all sorts of improvements to my driving, Bless her heart… :rolleyes:
I hate it when people use bad grammar or spelling and then get irritated when you point it out to them.
I also hate when people make political claims and then get bitchy when you prove to them that their claim is untrue.
People who are easily annoyed. They get me so riled up.
I definately agree.
Each link in my Bookmarks Toolbar has an icon. The bastards keep changing the icon, and every month or two, I see one I don’t recognize. Change for the sake of change.
So you solved that problem with the feathers and wax, then? Awesome. 
People whose job is to communicate, yet don’t know the rudiments of the English language. Like newscasters who say things like “she gave it to he and I” or “he paid myself for it” or “a greater amount of people.”
The same newscasters who precede a commercial with a “tease” like “you won’t want to miss this.”
Serving sizes. A can of cream-style corn: 90 calories? Oh, wait, there are 3.5 servings to a can, which means actually 315 calories for an entire can. Who the hell eats 1/3.5 of a can? And who the hell eats 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut or 1/4 cup of strawberries?
Ok, that’s definitely one of mine. But I have many, many, many. I’ll try to keep it to the worst of the worst.
WHY oh WHY can so few figure out when to use ‘it’s’ and when to use ‘its???’ It’s NOT HARD!! NO apostrophe unless the words, ‘it is’ can be substituted!!
“It’s raining,” = “It is raining.” WORKS!!
“It’s fur stuck out every which way.” “It is fur stuck out every which way.” See how that DOESN’T WORK??? “Its fur stuck out every which way,” is correct.
People who keep saying, “Seriously??”
People who misdial my number and then rudely demand to know who they’re talking to. Me: “Well, who did you CALL?”
People who line-butt.
That’ll do for a start. I’m hyperventilating now.
Oh!! Thought of another: People who eat “healthy” food. I’m glad your food is healthy. Mine is healthful.
I saw a woman using this technique with her Great Dane! The dog paid it even less heed than a child would.
My pet peeve - people at the pub who don’t take their glasses back to the bar.
Remember when blondes were something special?
I discovered a new peeve just yesterday: Where the heck is the plain, old unadulterated 2% milk? I just want a half gallon of 2% cow’s milk. But no. There’s “Lactose-Free.” There’s “Organic.” There’s “Lactose-Free Organic” (how do you do that?). :dubious: There’s “Super Calcium Enriched” (WTF?). Almond, soy, rice, hemp, enriched, de-lactosed, blah, blah, blah. Shelves and shelves of milk in Safeway that aren’t just cow’s milk with some fat removed. :mad:
And, as mentioned earlier, fat-free half-and-half isn’t a real food. I know that all food is made of chemicals – but I’m really only interested in eating the naturally-occuring, naturally combining ones.
It seems that most people never learned common courtesies when they were children. Example: when walking on the sidewalk and you have the unusual experience of meeting people coming the other way, both parties are supposed to scoot to the side to allow each other to pass.
Just because you are holding hands with your squeeze muffin doesn’t mean that I should have to step off the sidewalk to allow you to pass. And in fact, I won’t and don’t. This happened yesterday, and both they and I came to a complete halt, facing each other. The young woman finally made room so I could pass and muttered something like “I guess WE are supposed to move.” Yes, you rude piece of shit, you are.
Also, bicyclists belong on the goddamn street, not on the walk.
You’d have hated living, some sixty years ago, in the UK town where I was a child, back in those times. Several railway routes converged on the town’s station. Just south of the station, there was a level crossing where the railway tracks crossed one of the town’s principal streets: trains were forever coming and going over that crossing, both ways, on lines in four different directions; the level crossing’s gates spent more time closed to the road, than open. It sent road-vehicle drivers crazy.
Nowadays, there’s just one rail route remaining through the town, with trains running rather infrequently. Life there is much less fun now

Postings I get on facebook telling me I’ve been doing something “wrong”. No, the way you’re pushing is just different.
Postings on facebook telling me that if I watch this video, it’s going to amaze me, or change my life. No, it might be cute, or interesting, but stop with the hype.
