What are your pet peeves?

For me, one of my biggest pet peeves is how many people can't spell "lose". It's so bad, it's like a typographical error epidemic has been loosed on the world.

that's like my sub-boss who to his superior said YOU BETCHA, about 100 times a day, drove me nearly insane. Was like hearing Palin in a fat old guy, disturbing x2

Non-words! Irregardless, Preventative, Aggressiveness(sportscasters use endlessly). Incorrect forms of to, two, too, and there, they're, their. Incorrect use of 'X and I' or 'X and me'. People on TV do that one a lot! Country music, the older I get the more I despise it.

I have always hated country music. I also hate sad songs. Why do they play them in stores? How stupid is that? Makes me want to leave. Shouldn't stores have upbeat, happy songs?

I agree with booklover -- country music is just bad!

Ohhh Steph! You're my hero! I can NOT stand country music. If I want to hear hillbillies twang and whine, I'll go to a Sarah Palin rally, or a county jail and listen to the local meth heads.

"Have a BLESSED day" I hate it when people say that, but especially when they seem to be pissed at the world.

Tell them to "Have a godLESS day." :) Or "I'll have a good day, instead."

As far as grammar and spelling I hate it when people use "to," too," and "two" incorrectly! I also hate "their" and "there." Oh yeah, and not knowing when to use "was" and "were." Example; "She is beautiful like you WAS at that age" instead of WERE. Also when "that" is used to describe a person instead of "who." Example: "He's a nice guy THAT helps a lot of people" instead of WHO helps a lot of people. But, all that being said anybody could slam me on my math skills ☺

I also just LOVE people who act like such "good" xians who would never drink alcohol and especially never get drunk when you've seen them slobbering drunk a few times. No, I am not talking about my sister-in-law ;)
