People always mispronounce "err," too. It should rhyme with "fur," not "fair."

I don't like it when people whistle while I am in a bad mood. It's just so unnerving.

I don't like ending my sentences with prepositions. A classic example from TV:

"Where ya'll from?"

"We're from a place where we don't end our sentences with a preposition."

"Oh, okay. Where ya'll from....bitch?"

Ehh, I don't know. Is a straight girl kissing another straight girl really that different from a straight girl kissing a guy she's not into? Sometimes when people are drunk they're just feeling affectionate. And kissing doesn't hurt anyone. Some people just like to kiss- be they straight, bi or gay.

"peggyandvelma, are you serious?"

Uh, yeah. I am. I don't care who the couple consists of (guy-guy, girl-guy, monkey-girl) I don't want you kissing in my face.

Alot of stuff can get on my nerves, but the most...stereotypes.

My current pet peeve is with my graduating class. These neanderthilic arseburgers actually got kicked out of NASA space center yesterday ('Twas the senior trip. I did not go because I had better things to spend $35 on.) for destroying a $700 table, unraveling a flag, running around like wild heathens, and just acting like the immature s that they are. How the hell you get kicked out of NASA Space Center when you're approaching college age just boggles the mind.

And now I hear that certain people are planning to generally f*** up during graduation, such as like dancing across stage and falling over and yelling out crap. If this actually happens, words will not convey how pissed I will be. I may even have to create a new language just so I can invent new expletives that will shoot out of my throat.

Hurrah for Texas public schools, indeed.

Well, Cruel, I really hope that doesn't happen to you. Somehow, my graduation went smoothly. The best part was the beginning when the superintendent got 'boo-ed'. That's another pet peeve: the public school system. Do we not give money to the arts programs anymore? I'm really sorry I'm not the next Galileo, public school system.

Gum.

'Nuff said.

I love to chew gum, but there is this one girl in my French class who drives me absolutley insane. She smacks her gum SO much that I can hardly hear the teacher when I'm anywhere near her. Plus she has a really horrible fake accent. Haha maybe it's just the two factors together that make is so annoying.

Also, you know when you've been with one of your friends or someone for a lot longer than you usually spend with them? For example, I had to stay at my friends house for a week once when my parents were out of town, and by the end of the week the sound of her just brushing her teeth literally drove me insane. I don't know why, I just can't handle being with just one person for a really long period of time.

That's exactly what I hate about gum. People seem to be incapable of chewing it quietly, and there's nothing worse than the sound of someone chewing.

I mean, I can't make that much noise ON PURPOSE when I chew gum!

DOn't blame the school systems - blame the government for not funding them properly or giving support to good teachers. Blame society for being too stupid to realize that without good schools we're basically going to fall apart as society. The people who work in schools (and sorry if I take a moment to semi-brag) are the last bastion of intelligence and hope for this country -- put the blame where it BELONGS (think this might be a pet peeve of mine?)

Jason, I have to jump on to your peeve there and add that it really bothers me that parents no longer support teachers. Parents are all too ready to take their child's side and assert that their little angel couldn't possibly have misbehaved and that the teacher is wrong and we should apologize to their child for correcting them.

Mothers who speak loudly about the bodily functions of their children way too enthusiastically in public. No one cares.

ALSO: Mothers who are CONVINCED their child is the cutest thing on the planet and that if ti screams and claps and squeals EVERYONE will be delighted and fawn over him/her. Especially on an early rush hour train.

People who blame the wrong person for something gone wrong. For example, yelling at the conductor of the train because of a delayed train due to a medical emergency or something else out of hand, ranting to the hostess or cashier about your cold food at a restaurant,etc.

The phrase "Can we just drop it?" No, we can't. Why, do you have a problem with a little bit of a debate that actually makes you think?

My biggest most weirdest pet peeve is when A man and a woman are in a car and the woman is driving the man is in the passenger seat. Especially when it's older people! I hate that!!

This reminds me of my friend who was working at the movie theater. It was his last day and he was ready to get out of there. When someone said to him "Why are the ticket prices so high?", he replied "It's because you're white."

Oh, I HATE it when people say "gay" as a synonym for wierd or stupid. Or when they say "faggot" as a synonym for asshole. I check my friends everytime they say it. Most of them go "oops" or something. But my one friend. Ergh! She's all "Are you gay? Then why do you care?".

Oh, that reminds me of a message board related peeve. I hate when people have words misspelled in their sig lines. I can understand missing a typo in an individual post, but the sig comes up every single time you post. How dense can you be to not notice?

Another one: when a good friend calls you and has nothing to tell you so no one speaks and you go about your business until you come up with a way to get off. UGH!

The sound of people brushing their teeth makes me nauseous.

Especially when it's a teacher who apparently has a dentist appointment half an hour after school. Okay. Can you not stay two minutes after the bell rings to brush your teeth rather than doing it five minutes after seventh period begins?

Actually, scratch all that. That teacher is my pet peeve.
