Pet Peeves?

Question

Those who don't know the difference between then and than...using an aphostropy incorrectly such as " look at my pic's"...or "Free Gift" a gift IS free or else it wouldn't be a gift, right?
What are some of your peeves?

Answer 1

Spelling errors, misuse of the English language, people who don't care (about work, others, the world, etc.) People who talk on the phone while I'm trying to wait on them, people who think they can talk and drive but really can't, drivers going slower than the limit, people who leave their turn signal on after they've turned, people who drive with their foot on the brake. Wow, I have a lot...Undisciplined children, parents who think that because they are in public, their kids will be watched by "someone," which usually means me - the underpaid waitress who is waiting on them (with no tip) and tells them not to eat the piece of food they just picked up off the floor. Parents who party all the time, people who don't respect me for doing my job, people who don't understand the words "bank policy," which means my hands are tied, and they are not the exception to the rule. Rich people, homeless people who refuse to help themselves, drug addicts with kids, people who blame their lot in life on their parents instead of making their lives better for themselves and then looking back and saying "wow rags to riches!" It also bugs me when people say "you" when they don't mean me, or people who dial the wrong number and hang up when I answer the phone. I hate when sprint text messages me stupid things like "Get NFL scores on your phone anytime" when I'm a girl and I hate football, and I have no desire to see the same scores for 10 cents when I can watch the news or ESPN if I really cared for free. I hate businesses that use the same letters in every word to seem catchy but are really stupid like "Kathy's Kitty Korner" and then I have to explain to my children that whoever named the business doesn't know how to spell, and if he spells it that way, he'll get it wrong on the spelling test at school. I hate people who ding the bell at the drive up all the time, and people who say "I want..." and then don't say please. I especially detest people with bad manners in general - please and thank you take 2 seconds to say, smiling at me won't kill you, and neither will saying "excuse me miss" instead of whistling, snapping your fingers, or saying "hey waitress." What I hate the most in this world is cashing welfare checks at the bank for people who drive better cars than I do, and have 10 kids in the car and not a single one of them is wearing a seatbelt because the parents are completely ghetto.

Answer 2

Affirmative Action, No Child Left Behind. Ebonics. Haven't all these wonderful ideas been great?

The president of France speaks better English than does the president of the United States, who drops his gees and can't seem to pronounce the word 'nuclear'.

The late Rodney Dangerfield got more respect...

Answer 3

I hate it when car dealers use their sales jargon in commercials to trick you into believing you're getting something special, like...

"All credit applications will be accepted!"

This is ignorant, of course they'll 'accept' your application, that doesn't mean it will be approved! Or they'll guarantee approval if you come up with a minimum down payment. There isn't a lender in the world that won't lend you money if you've got 30% down payment! And...

"We'll pay off your current car loan, no matter how much you owe!"

Again, they do this for ALL customers. When you trade in your car, the dealer pays off your existing loan. After they give you credit for the value of the trade, they apply the difference back to your new loan. You still pay the difference!

Injustice. People who are rude for no reason. People who make a fool out of themselves and then blame others. Hats worn side-ways. Taking my bloody bookmark out of my book. Intolerance. Tire Debris on the High Way. Garbage in my parking lot...

I work in a hospital and when I get report on my patients there is this nurse who doesn't say "oriented" right.. as in " the patient is alert and oriented".. she says "orientated".. why that bothers me so much, I'm sure I don't know... and there are others... there is this one lady who calls the patients "puppies"... I'm thinking.. what is this a kennel or pound or something..? there are many, many others but, sadly, it would take much too long to type them out...
