Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I shudder when I get text messages from my mom, or when I see my cousin has posted something to my Facebook wall, for this very reason. I know it's going to be bad.shafnutz05 wrote:Perusing Facebook threads, article comments, etc, there are plenty (and I mean plenty) of grammatical errors made by the yokels of Pennsyltucky and Yinzburgh.

Years and years ago, a plastic Santa Claus statue was stolen from the lawn of my friend's mother. She wrote a letter to the editor of the local newspaper and started it: "To whoever stoled our Santa Claus".

This one may very well be rational, but smokers in the winter. I understand, it's cold, I understand you don't want to go very far from the warmth, but get the f*** away from doors while you're smoking.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
100% agreed. Before I had a daughter, I never said anything, but if I walk outside a restaurant and they are huddled right next to the door, I've been guilty of saying things like "my infant daughter appreciates you poisoning the air right outside the door, ass hole". Now that she's old enough to repeat words, not so much, but I still give them the business.count2infinity wrote:This one may very well be rational, but smokers in the winter.

Unnecessary use of hazard lights such as travel through a school zone.

People that talk with their hands
there's a guy across from me on a headset who's standing up and he keeps moving his hands as if the person he's talking to is in front of him
it's really annoying

I'd gladly deal with hand wavers rather than the one who don't look you in the eye.
