My list of pet peeves is lengthy but I'm trying to pare them down a bit.
My current ones are:
People who eat loudly. Smacking gums, slurping noises, chewing and the dreaded scraping of the teeth across the fork all drive me batty.
People who "don't swear" but then use durn and fracking. If you are going to swear...then swear. If you aren't going to swear, then don't swear. But don't say you don't swear and try to look cool by saying "fookin" or some other retarded variation. If you sign on to not swearing you sign on to using other adjectives.
People who make the simplest task as complex as possible. Some folks just have a knack for making a 5 minute job into 4 hours, 100 phone calls, a trip to the store and several new website memberships.
People who run trite internet statements into the ground. "You owe me a new keyboard" is no longer original, cute or witty. "I see what you did there" is also worn out. It's akin to putting on a shitty Jerry Seinfeld accent and saying "why do people wear socks?" It's not cutting edge comedy and neither is typing "shit just got real".
Yours?
