What are the little things you guys just can't stand? I have tons because I'm a mean-spirited jerk who hates everything, but here are a few to get the ball rolling:

People who say "irregardless" instead of "regardless"
When someone says "I seen it" instead of "I saw it"
When a person gives a URL and then feels the need to mention that it's "all one word" as if everyone shouldn't already know that.
And come to think of it, I also don't like it when people pronounce the acronym URL as a word (like the name "Earl").

...It's kinda sad that that's barely a fraction of the ones I can remember. Well, now it's your turn.

Overly-negative threads.

People who say what I was going to say before I can say it.

*shudders* Yeah, that one. Or "I done that"

I hate it when peoples tee-shirt sleeve hems have folded up in the corner. (Jim once opened the door to my closet and turned up the sleeve of EVERY SINGLE shirt)

I HATE the word 'sammich' and it greatly annoys me that so many people around here use it!

Every commercial that Hardees has put out for the past few years.

When I'm eating and Jim wants some of my food; he doesn't actually ask for any, but leans forward and stares at it. Actually, when it comes right down to it...a LOT of stuff (not everything, but almost) he does really bugs me and makes me want to beat him senseless...I guess that Jim himself is a pet peeve of mine.

...And I'm sure that there are others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

A bitchy comment with a smiley at the end. We all know you're being a bitch, don't piss us off more with " ". C'mon.

"thugs"

hip hop artists that use violins in their songs to seem more deep.

And girls who wear really short shorts or skirts, knowing that they can't sit down or bend over.

Poor grammar, even in casual conversation (you can't "borrow" someone a video game, Vort!)

Poor puns (duh).

People who talk on their cellphones while driving.

People who walk slowly in the middle of the hallway/sidewalk.

People who don't clean up after themselves at a cafeteria or lounge.

In fact, people in general annoy me. I think I'll just live like a hermit for the rest of my life.

What the hell, Kat? Just what the hell? There, I finally said it! What the hell!

People who drag their relationship problems into public areas.





Also drunk sluts.

Misspelling the word "ROGUE"! In a video game! Where you see your character's class (which is rogue!) every time you load up the game and yet still somehow manage to misspell the word when you log in!

Also the fact that no one seems to know how to spell "tongue" properly. Hint: It is NOT spelled "tounge"

There is a company called Colorama that provides annual flowering plants to the store at which I work and they have spelled "tomorrow" with two Ms on the side of their truck.

"a lot" is two words, not one.

I have other, non-literary pet peeves, but I can't think of them right now.



Also, Kat: put a lid on it.

Saying, "nine times out of ten," "ninety percent of the time," "ninety-nine percent of the time," and "ninety-nine point nine percent of the time" all piss me off. You don't know that! Stop making shit up and say, "a lot of the time," "often," or something similar.

Edit: I wanna be a drunk slut.

The Culture of Nice.

Hmmm.

Hypocracy

Being brushed off

Being interrupted

Thick Jersey accents (irrational, I know, but it grates on my ears!)

Oh! Fine! You quote me and Rock and not Zwuh!? I SEE HOW IT IS.

*glares*

I have so many pet peeves that I can't actually list them here, because one of the peeves are walls of text.

That's . . . not really clearing things up much. Is it the stuff she said about me, perhaps? I actually helped her compile that list, FYI, by reminding her of a few of the things I do that bug her. This isn't any "relationship problem" thing. Everybody in a relationship has small things that bug their partner and things their partner does that bugs them that don't actually constitute an actual problem.

So chill the fuck out.

Horribly weak excuses.
Hair in my mouth.
Seriously, drunk sluts.
Obvious jokes.

WTF STAY ON TOPIC

Then start shaving in there!

Pardon me. BUT:
I am not the only person who has started to notice that the only thing Kat ever seems to say entails some variation on THIS

HONESTLY. It catches me on a visceral level to be CONSTANTLY hearing this sort of thing.

People don't want to hear about your marital complications. They're for you and not for us. I'm sure Kat has friends that she can bemoan your evils to, but the rest of us are just sick of it.

And I will chill the fuck out when I damn well please.

JTorch wrote: People who say "irregardless" instead of "regardless"

People who make a fuss about the difference between irregardless and regardless. They're both in the dictionary and they both mean the same thing.

Can I understand you? Do your words make sense? Then I don't care which individual words you chose.


Hrm, other pet peeves... Poorly constructed research projects! I did this supposed research survey the other day which asked, among other things, various health-related questions, but not once did it inquire about pregnancy. Now come on, I'm 8 months pregnant, do you think that's going to do some funky abnormal stuff to my health? Of course I pee a lot, have gained a lot of weight in the past year, and don't sleep for long stretches. But not because I'm sick.

And then there's the shoddy reporting which goes along with so much of research... "Study finds that X percent of Americans blah blah blah!" (You know, I think we're actually not as stupid as we think we are.)
