People who call others "retarded" is my total pet peeve. So many times I hear this word being thrown around by people who completely disregard its connotations to those who do, in fact, suffer from this affliction, and it's really frustrating to me, as the sister of a beautiful girl with Down Syndrome and the friend of other "mentally challenged" people. Believe me, just because someone may be born with supposedly "lower" intellectual capacity doesn't mean that they are worth any less as a person. In fact, most of these people have wonderful personalities and offer a lot to us to learn in terms of empathy, compassion, and love.
Please please please, if you are reading this, stop yourself the next time you are about to throw the word "retarded" out of your mouth, using it as though it was the word "like" or "cool". It may be said so often, but if you stop and think for a minute, that is something that you really don't want to wish on anybody.

Drivers that think the hammer lane is their own personal lane. If you can't drive, take the bus.
By the way, for any snowbirds, etc. Florida is getting ready to make it a $500 fine for riding in the fast lane: Impeding the flow of traffic

Anyone who chews gum like a cow. I hate seeing food/gum being slopped around in their mouth with their tounge!! I personally think it's the grossest thing in the world.

People that don't know how to do laundry. You never wash your towels with other clothes and always add the detergent first.
