Little things that annoy you....

[PrincessFiona]

We all have our triggers. What are some of the little things that annoy you?


When people write loose instead of lose or your instead of you're. I don't know why it's such a pet peeve but it is ... and occasionally, I've found myself making the same error lately. Gah!
When people gulp drinks. It's like nails on the chalkboard for me!
Teenagers who wear their pants down and you can see their underwear.

Generally, I have to say I'm pretty tolerant though.

Anything grammar-related. One that realllllly grates on me is when people use "advice" and "advise" incorrectly. You give and ask for advice, not advise. It drives me bonkers. Oh, and of course, the rampant misuse of "your." Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

So, inappropriate grammar doesn't bother me that much. It used to bother me more than it does; however, my MIL attacks when anyone uses improper grammar in writing or speech, and THAT bothers me. "Shut your mouth, you arrogant, petty, bitch!" Now, my kids and I have lots of fun verbing nouns (see what I did there), and performing other such grammar atrocities just to piss her off.

Ahhhhh.

People. People, in general, bother me. (Present company excluded.)

Arrogance bothers me. Meanness. Mommier-than-thou shit. Self-righteous behavior. Selfishness. Bigotry.

I guess those aren't little things though.

Little things? "They" keep discontinuing my favorite products! Seriously, I can kill a brand like nobody's business.

Ooh, good one. This bothers me as well.

The use of "a couple" when people are describing more than 2 things. It's the dumbest thing - I'm aware of that!

When my husband Empties the dishwasher but can't bother to put the valves back in to damn sippy cups. Not that hard

A couple can be more than two things! I had this argument with my DH and won!

From Mirriam-Webster:

4 : an indefinite small number : few <a couple of days ago>

But it makes no sense!

Yes Yes Yes. Its rainy and I am one cranky preggo lady today.


-people who walk too slowly
-people who walk too quickly.
-People that don't leave clear and precise voicemail messages so that you have to listen to them three times to understand their name and another three to understand the
-phone number they left at the speed of light or swallowed sounds.
-People who eat in inappropriate places (library, during a test...)
-People who just don't follow the rules. If it clearly states on a sign or billboard, DO NOT DO.... Then dont do it. It doesnt mean, everyone else and you are the exception. Follow the damn rules.

OK... taking my cranky ass away from this thread....

This one drives me bonkers, too. Whenever someone writes "HIPPA" instead of HIPAA, I want to scratch my eyeballs out.
