What are they? everybody has at least one.

This is gonna sound stupid but i cant stand it when people chew with their mouths open. Young kids ok yeah i get that. Adults...eeeww lol, sorry but youre not 4 years old... lol.

Edited to add:
Another thing I can't stand is being left outta the loop in family stuff. That really bugs me lol.

[klockert]

I hate when people stand really close to me in line at a store and getting interrupted when talking.

[promises1]

I hate the chewing with mouth open too. I hate when people don't listen to what you are saying.
exp: last night we were out at DH's hockey game and went through the drive thru on the way home. I swear everytime I do through the drive thru they don't listen to your order and mess it up! I make sure to be very clear and they still get it wrong. Then I don't want to be awitch about it because I don't want them to spit in my food, lol.

Hmm.. I probably have quite a few.. more when I'm PMS'ing.

Big ones.. I hate it when I send a message (either email or text) to a group of friends with multiple questions or points of information for them (I'm often the organizer of group events for our group) and almost every single one of them only reads a small portion of the message.. then I get a ton of questions about things that I already told them. Or they only answer one question and not the rest.

I also get annoyed when people type "rouge" instead of "rogue", "quite" instead of "quiet", "to" instead of "too", "their" instead of "they're", etc. I don't say anything about it to them, though, because I don't want to be called one of those grammar nazis, but I'm worried that it's so hard for people to spell/use words correctly these days. lol! Naturally we all have bad days and typos, that's one thing.. but consistently getting it wrong worries me.

THIS!

I remember there was a girl trying to get attention on one of my old boards and she pretended I wrote her this nasty e-mail and all I said in response was "If you know me at all, you know that I would NEVER send an e-mail with all of those errors." lol

When someone tells me I am wrong when I know for a fact that I am not. Lol.

Exp: DF cousin (18) is 10 weeks preggo. She made this BIG announcement at a fathers day cookout (everyone already knew but never said anything) and so now everything is about her, her, her blah blah blah. Her mom texted me the other day and said OMG Gabby felt the baby kick!

I corrected her and told her that as exciting as it is to feel the baby kick, its gas. Then she got into this big argument with me that it was the baby and Gabby is a skinny girl so she will be able to feel the baby kick early yada yada. To which I just responded ok. And left it at that. I was fuming.

I get annoyed by grammar issues, too. Another one to add to that long list is 'would/could/should of. It's would/could/should HAVE people! lol

Meggin- Yeah no kidding! When I present all the facts and they're still like "...no..." Talk about being immature. It really shouldn't hurt anybody's pride that much to admit they're wrong! My gosh. (OK guilty here. I typed their instead of they're lol. Now that was a typo.. I really do know better lol)

It does scare me lots of people can't write a grammatically correct sentence. It's sad really. Even if what is said is really smart, the person's lack of good grammar just does the person a big disservice.

I have issues with poor grammar as well.

Right now a big pet peeve is customers not taking their carts with them when they leave after being cashed out. The carts are within less than a foot from the door they must go through to get to the parking lot. I especially hate it when they just leave them in the middle of the group of registers and other customers have to go around them if someone can't move it right away.

I have others but I can't think of them right now. But I will say that a funny one I've heard is from my ex (not FOB), he can't stand people saying PB&J or even reading PB&J.

That reminds me, I absolutely HATE it when people say sammich instead of sandwich. It reminds me of a guy who annoyed the crap out of me all of the time because he said it a lot. And for some odd reason it grosses me out

That reminds me of the people who say pitcher instead picture. Two totally different words there lol. Yeah.. ok I'm a grammar nazi. I'll admit lol.

Oh man, now I am going to be checking my sentences before posting ANYTHING in here. Another pet peeves, its "a lot" not "alot"...My fifth grade teacher DRILLED that into our brains.

Short Story on Grammar: Drove by the McDonald's today and the sign said "Stop in and try are Bacon Cheesburger"......Really? I guess they never learned the difference between our/are...Idiots. lol

That explains why they are working at Mcdonalds.

lol! See, it's that kind of thing that REALLY gets me. And I see it a lot in publications now too (mostly online of course.. but real newspapers/magazines that are online and those who say they're professional). It's that stuff that really bothers me. If you're going to put it out there to the world professionally, double-check.

Online casual talk in forums and whatnot.. while it can be annoying, can be way more forgivable than a professional publication (or sign) in my opinion.

I'm glad I'm not the only grammar nazi!! It also annoys me when people say "seen" when they should say "saw". Even some of the teachers I work with say it and that REALLY bugs me.

I can't stand to hear people chew. Period. Especially if the room is real quiet. I also can't stand when people pick at stuff. The noise annoys me.

I'm sure I'll think of more later
