When people assume you are "clueless/naive" about certain things, when in reality, you know exactly what's going on.

I hate it when people talk in a movie theatre. It's so annoying. I don't think I've ever been in a theatre where people have thrown things, but that would probably annoy me too lol.

i have SO many pet peeves.

ok here are my top three

1. when people talk through movies- and i mean TALK, not whisper. my best friend talks non stop, and i have to actually hit her to make her stop. and then she does it again. oy

2. for rehersals for plays and other things, i bring plenty of water becuase i dehydrate very easily, WELL, people think its ok to drink an ENTIRE bottle while i'm gone, because i have another one sitting in my bag. oy, it pisses me off. i mean, i go through one an hour and if it's a 4 hour rehersal, do the math. uh, that's a huge pet peeve.

3. when people sing off key and think they are not. i discovered this pet peeve when i did a duet with one of my friends for a show. it was hard to tell her, but she was going so flat, it through me off key. and she just kept denying it, and calling me mean. oy, people, just accept help from other people, don't get offensive.

oh i came up with another one.

when people say something like, "i want to go so bad" you have to say "badLY" that one can make me cringe like no other.

I have a question about that. The bad/badly thing is a pet peeve of mine as well, but what is the correct way to say "I feel bad(ly)?"

I have heard that badly is the correct way to say it, but isn't that saying that you are bad at feeling? As opposed to saying that bad is HOW you are feeling?

DottieD'Luscia I hate that too!!!! I'm seriously a very innocent person so most people seem to assume they can speak in 'code' around me and I won't know what their talking about. I have heard some rather interesting things though.

The second pet peeve of mine is grammar freaks. It's not a big deal; just calm down and count to ten. Not everyone is a grammar master and I'd rather not waste valuable time becoming one to make your day better. I do believe in basic sentence structure.

Good point! Anyone who wants to use incorrect grammar should be able to do so if they wish without being castigated. Let's hear it for bad grammar!

I completely agree with whoever it was that said their pet peeve was watching people in cars flick their cigarretes out of their car windows. The world is not your ashtray.

Also...somewhere, an Indian is crying. Remember those commercials?

Ahh yes, I had forgotten about using cell phones in checkout aisles. I HATE when someone I'm ringing up is talking on their cell phone because we have questions we're supposed to ask (like asking about batteries, gift receipts, etc.) and I can't talk to the person when they're on their phone. And then if they forget about their coupons or about a gift receipt then it's my fault. Going off of that, I also hate when I ask someone if they need a gift receipt (gift receipts are big issues, apparently), they say no, then when the transaction is over they say, "Wait, don't I get a gift receipt?" and get irritated when I tell them that they can't get one anymore.

My main pet peeve is when people automatically assume they have been through more sh*t than you have and seriously compete for the fact to say their life sucks more than yours (yes, this may bring about Avenue Q references). I seriously can't stand it when I'm like, "oh, I had such a bad day" and the person you're talking to is like, "well, there is no possible way it can have been worse than mine!" eghhhh!!!!!!!!!

My other one is in movies and TV shows where all the phone numbers use 555-blah blah blah blah!! It simply screams, "let's break the realism factor here for everyone watching!" seriously! you do not NEED to show the phone number, so just don't! It makes me sooooo mad!

Also, stage mothers who tell you what to do, wicked freaks, and people who are jerks to you until you are the center of attention!

When people talk during the overture and enter'acte of a musical for me it is part of the show and when they don't shut up it pisses the hell out of me. Also when people arrive late to live performances; I mean come on! We all pay up to $100 to see Broadway shows, why the hell do you come late?!

I wasn't saying that we should get away with everything ,but I'm saying If I were to say "should get away with everything but, I'm" that a grammar freak wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

When people talk during the overture and enter'acte of a musical

Ugh. I was once a church pianist, and it really ticked me off when the congregation would talk during the preludes and offertories. If I got louder, they'd get louder.

My mother is an organist and had the same problem. She once stopped playing her prelude and just glared at the congregation as they waited for the choir to enter and the service to start.

I've got another one. This might only apply to NY, but let's see-people who walk down the sidewalk towards you and leave you no room to walk in the opposite direction, and don't make any effort to move over a little to let you pass, and they crash into you (it seems almost on purpose) and never say excuse me. Sometimes it really hurts, too!

"1. when people talk through movies- and i mean TALK, not whisper. my best friend talks non stop, and i have to actually hit her to make her stop. and then she does it again. oy"

I hate when I go to the movies with this girl named jessica and I talk really quietly and she hits me and then when she talks and I say "shhhh" she gets mad at me..

So what movie are we seein tonight jess?

I have friends who bring their cell phones into movies. They do not turn them on silent, and let them ring during the movie. Then they answer them and proceed to have a conversation. Or even better...they CALL someone in the middle of a movie and have a conversation, and then when they are done, turn to me confused as to what is happening in the movie. I just give them an "are you kidding me look".

That seriously bugs me, and another one of my pet peeves is when people don't use proper spelling and grammar online. You wouldn't write that way at school, don't do it online.

People who don't walk straight gets on my nerves.

People who think it's fun to be mean.

[chrrymn]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 10:25am

People who slide their feet when they walk.

This sentence:

"Do you want to come with" OR "Want to come with" OR "I'm going with."

You DO NOT end a sentence on a preposition like that. Do you want to come with . . . .who? Me? Him? Her? Your dog? Your pimp? End the freakin' sentence.

[Princeton78]

1. People who do not return phonecalls.

2. The sentence "I could care less." When said correctly, it's "I COULDN'T care less."
