What makes you nuts? When people type in all caps? Overuse of emoticons? Cell phone junkies?

My biggest pet peeve is when people have those magnetic ribbons on the back of their car and they have them turned side ways. I guess they do this so I can read what it says...but guess what? I KNOW what it says. If it is yellow or rw&blue, it probably says support our troops, if it pink-breast cancer. I can figure it out.

Okay, now I feel better.

People who think "your" and "you're" are interchangeable and people who leave a brand new roll of toilet paper resting on top of the empty one while it's still in the holder!

Arrrrrgghhh!

You hit a MAJOR pet peeve of mine. People who work in this industry pronounce it wrong. Drive me completely NUTS.

(Trying not to use too many camps of emoticons - re other pet peeves )

Other pet peeve -
Whiners - you know people who always complain about something

There's more, but I'm drawing a blank...

Actually, I would think it was cool if someone thought my son was my brother

I'm with you on the rest of them.

Here is my 4th of July pet peeve: 11 o'clock news, they ALWAYS have to say something about "nature's own fireworks" if there was a storm on the 4th. It drives me bonkers!! I live in FL, so there is a storm every year and I hear them say this every year. It's a pet peeve, it's supposed to be stupid.
My other one is people wearing sweatpants in public (the really awful ones with elastic at the waist and ankles). Nobody looks good in those.

I've got LOTS of these... (of course, that probably puts me in the "whiner" category, so I've now become a pet peeve of someone else... )

Bikers who can't be bothered to yell "On your left!" when passing.

People who don't use turn signals.

Smokers who throw their cigarette butts out their car window.

1 - "surprises" in public restrooms
2 - vending machines that won't take my dollar bill
3 - cigarette butts out the car window (already said) - the world is not an ash tray!
4 - people who compare their dogs to my kids (don't ask)
5 - passing my bike in a car 1 foot buffer, driver talking on a cell phone, traveling 55 MPH
6 - fresh oil and rock chips along favorite bike route
7 - bike snobs
8 - people who don't shower before getting in a public pool
9 - able people with handicapped parking permits
10 - armchair quarterbacks and people who second guess everything
11 - anal retentive people who are bothered when top 10 lists have 11 items

Driving:

  1. People who don't use their turn signals. I especially get ticked off at the people in the left lane they don't have their blinker on, so you think it's okay to be behind them, and then they turn it on, and you're already stuck there.
  2. People who throw cigarette butts, or anything else out their window.
  3. People talking on cell phones while driving.
  4. Car stereos that shake your car because they're so loud.

Fashion:

  1. Seeing underwear showing above the waist of pants.
  2. Butt cracks showing.
  3. Clothing on people who have no business showing up in public dressed like that.

In general:

  1. Cracking gum.
  2. Music so loud you hear it from person's headphones even with your own music on.
  3. People hogging two seats on a crowded train, and shooting you dirty looks when you ask them to please let you sit.

Triathlon:

  1. People who show up late, and take your rack space while you're warming up on the bike.
  2. People who mess with your stuff in transition area.
  3. Brazen drafters.
  4. Porta-pollies that run out of TP before the race starts.

I'll probably think of more, but that's a good start.

I hate when people say " well, that's what it's like in (fill in a city), just wait 5 minutes, the weather will change"!!!! Arggghhhh. It's weather, it changes.....EVERYWHERE. The only place I have ever lived where this actually really applies is Colorado.

Everyone's answers are great-I have never looked like such a dork laughing and talking to my computer.

Liars and cheats.

Polluters and litterbugs (HEY, IT'S YOUR COUNTRY, DON'T TRASH IT UP!!)

Serial hyperbole abusers.

Anyone who starts a sentence with "You liberals..." or "You conservatives..." as if that somehow discredits the other person's POV or argument.

Negative people who suck the joy out of a room.

Fox News and other ranting, theatrical infotainment programs.

Dogma and political rhetoric.

People who don't want to hear or understand any viewpoint but their own.

Narrow-minded people who can't see that there's room enough in this country for all kinds of different opinions, worldviews and ways of life.
