What's your pet peeve? — Page 3

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

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?!

when my roommate comes in at 4am turns on the overhead light, and turns on the tv.....

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!

ignorance

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 think it's fun to be mean.

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.
