Ooooh, Diva. . .

I understand what you mean and I am in total agreement. :)

"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."

1. People talking or unwrapping candies during a show
2. Groups of people walking slowly next to one another on a busy road
3. Women wearing fur coats
4. Prejudices or people relying too much on hear-say.
5. People sucking up to other people because of who they are or what they own or who they might know.

Phew, just a few ones...

Dottie, that sounds really funny!

...So, if mocking a pet peeve takes on a life of its own, can it still be a pet peeve, or does it become a guilty pleasure?

GrownUpGroupie: Definitely guilty pleasure. I have had quite a few laughs just thinking about those tacky informercials. I also have to add in, Jennilee Harrison's botoxed lips. I don't even remember what product she was hawking either.

oh, she's SUPER creepy! Slightly robotic too. :)

I'm becoming my own pet peeve: when my ass fuses to the chair b/c I've been wasting too many hours on BWW!!

Buenas Noches, folks:)

I just noticed this recently on BWW - sorry if this includes you (sorry in a totally insincere way):

People who say "ect." to mean "et cetera". The abbreviation is "etc."!! SO STOP WRITING IT WRONG!!

Sorry. Why do I keep apologizing? My other pet peeve: passive-aggressive Canadians.

Getting off an escalator and just standing there blocking everyone else. (Especially at airports.)

Not saying please and thank you. Where have manners gone?

You know, Beav said that same thing to me just yesterday. So, Beav, who'll it be??

Going to the grocery store before work to pick up a single item, only to find out that there is only one register open and a person in line with a weeks worth of groceries!!! (and that's how my day began).

Pet Peeves: - When you're driving and you let someone in front of you and they don't give you the 'wave'.
- When you hold the door for someone and they just walk through without saying thank you.

When you go out to lunch during the week, and after you're all done, the wait person cleans the table, and then disappears for like 20 minutes. Then brings the check and disappears again. It's a work week... a work lunch, we only have an hour!
