Pet peeves?

[Chad32]

My pet peeve are people who's pet peeve is grammer and spelling.

*Groan*

Did Drich make two grammar mistakes and one spelling mistake in that sentence on purpose? "My pet peeve is people whose pet peeve is grammar and spelling.

I'm not much of a grammar nazi, though. I also need to proofread my own stuff more. Nobody's perfect. English was one of my better classes in school, though, up until sophomore or junior year in high school.

People who say "pronounciation" instead of pronunciation (seriously if there is one word you're going to get right...)

Also, pacifically instead of specifically.

Mommy I want some pasgetti.

People who shove all in with 8 9 off suit against pocket 9s and hit their straights. Then shove again A Q vs A Q and hit a 4 card flush for their Ace. Then hit a flush again with 2 3 suited against my Q 9 suited. All in the same round.

Standard.

It's the runner-runner beats that drive me nuts.

My peeve: people who don't understand that such beats are long term positive equity and good for the game.

The dumb people who can SEE me and still ask "Are you blind ?"




It makes me want say "No this is just my walloping stick."

She bought a walking stick, but she doesn't know how to use it. Poor lady.

I was speaking to my receptionist this morning and she was like "you have a cancellation" and I was like "can I have some tea then please" and she was like "we have no milk"

NO. You were not "like". You said. Also I seriously doubt that when people talk about how someone turned around and said something I doubt it to be the case unless they were pirouetting like ballarenas!

DERP!

supposably --> supposedly
duck tape --> duct tape
doggy dog world --> dog eat dog world
make ends meat --> make ends meet (more a written annoyance as meat and meet are pronounced the same)
checker block --> chock-a-block
questadilla --> quesadilla

Off topic, but nice dress! The fit is perfect, i don't think I even own anything that fits me that well.


One of my biggest peeve is people who let their kids do whatever they want in public. You may be used to the noise and the rudeness but the public isn't and shouldn't have to tolerate it. I hate it so much. I've seen parents who continue to have their conversations as if nothing is happening when their kid is annoying everyone in the same space. No one is going to be comfortable telling a kid off when their parents are right there.

Also middle aged men who start conversations with me on the subway or the bus. What the fuck do you think is going to happen? In my mind, you are at best a creepy dude and at worst a possible rapist/stalker. I'm usually friendly with strangers who talk to me but don't approach me at a place where it's impossible for me to get away.

Hair dryers. It's loud and oh my god so annoying. At least close the door when you use it.

Oh and people who don't use headphones while watching things on computers. What the hell?

When people interrupt. Uuuuuggh.
