What's your biggest Pet Peeve?

Just wondering what truly annoys freepers or drives you nuts?

Besides Democrats, Trolls and Idiots.

[trisham]

Stupid young waiters and waitresses saying "you guys" in every sentence: "How is everything for you guys?"

***********

Ahhhhh. Exactly. That drives me bonkers.

[Pharmboy]

Newsreaders who say "Ne go see a shun" for negotiation. "Ti" is never pronounced "see."

[Clemenza]

Stupid people "working" at fast-food joints, invariably messing up your order.

As I told my grandfather when he complained about a check out clerk not being able to make change: "do you REALLY expect intelligence if this job is the best they can get?"

[Charles Henrickson]

Ending exclamatory and/or interrogative sentences with multiple exclamation/question marks.

I HATE that!!!!!

[laney]

The Biggest one is!
Trying to get to a real person on the telephone after you have to press about 10 keys on the phone and STILL no one answers!!
Press 1 if you are calling about service or a technical problem, press 2 if you are calling customer service press 3 if you are calling billing YEEGADS!

[Clemenza]

Its also "Nu-clear," NOT "Nu-cu-ler."

[atomicpossum]

That'd be me.

Is that you, Oprah?

[johnny7]

I'm sure he's a nice guy and I hope you're happy together.

[Clemenza]

"Were sorry, we don't understand your answer. Press 1 for..."

[HitmanLV]

Very true. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago I pointed the nauseous/nausea ed/nauseating thing to a friend a couple of weeks ago.

[RouxStir]

"See my tagline..."

But it is sooo much fun to see someone fall into the sar-casm.

[atomicpossum]

The word 'orientated.'

It's oriented.

[Charles Henrickson]

And another thing--exaggeration!!! If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, people who exaggerate should be taken out and SHOT!!!!!

[Cecily]

I think it makes the elevator door close if you push any floor button, even if it is already lit.

[laney]

And if we cannot understand you, we will now hang up! LOL..

[ex-snook]

Newscasters reading scripts and tell us who they are.

[FOG724]

Only one is necessary in either case.

We have one well liked person on the CA threads who does it a lot. He got called on it by one of the kool aide drinkers. Now a bunch of us do it in support.

[RouxStir]

"What about commas separating a compound predicate of only two parts, when not needed for dramatic pause?"

Gawd, I hat that. Just makes me want to shove a boot up their semicolon.

[Cecily]

Phony baloney TV preachers who mostly never get busted for their heresy, blasphemy, and schemes to bilk the gullible. Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul warned us these types would come along, but many of us refuse to listen.

[Charles Henrickson]

People who leave a long phone message and then speed up right at the very end when they leave their phone number--too fast to catch it, so you have to replay the long message three times to get it.
