Here's the place to post your pet peeves! Here are mine:
1. Liberals, lawyers, hypocrites, etc...wait, this list is getting redundant!
2. People who pronounce water as "wooter" and wash as "warsh", and strength/length as "strenth/lenth". So basically, people with Baltimore accents
3. Walking down a crowded hallway in school and the idiot in front of you stops and turns around
4. When people refer to the Czech Republic as just "Czech", or say "Slovakian" instead of the correct adjective, Slovak
5. Alarm clocks
6. People who whine. Oh wait, I already said liberals
7. Anti-war whackos, animal rights whackos, enviro-whackos...
8. School pictures
9. When my mom drags me off to visit her cousins and everyone always says "Oh, look how much you've grown!" Geez that is annoying...
10. Little dogs
AC/DC was good up until 1983...
19. People who say a number like 1103 as "one thousand one hundred AND three" instead of "one thousand one hundred three". There is no "and" unless there is a decimal point--15.2=fifteen AND two tenths. Same with years: 2006 is not "two thousand AND six", it's "two thousand six".
Hey, I live in Maryland and I've lived here for most of my life. I just can't stand the accent. I dunno why, it just sounds weird.
Don't start up on me. I'm feeling peevish.
Although, Laz hates restraining orders.
You don't piss me off.
Yet.
Restraining orders piss me off.
I'm 17, not 18
Hey Larry, I saw your page and, another pet peeve of mine is when people spell Kazakhstan without the h. I know it's spelled like that in Russian or Kazakh but not in English ;)
I could never decide where to put the H. :-)
But, add two more to your list:
1) Spelling police.
2) Useless H's in words.
Dang, I was gonna cut and paste something in Russian but the characters get all funky.
The lack of respect and courtesy in the younger generation.
Not everyone in Baltimore talks like that, just some people.
I love Dirty Jobs!
20. When people write 50 cents as .50 cents. It's kinda funny though.
