- Turkish adverts. (they have them all over the screen when programmes/football is on...sometimes you can hardly see what you're watching!)

- Turkish shop assistants that follow you around the shop. (I think they work on commision, but jeez please stop being my shadow)

- People that jump queues or push in. I don't like queuing as much as the next person, but at least I wait my turn.

- When you stand there holding open a door for someone, only for them to totally ignore you..no thanks..no recognition..nothing, not even a smile.

- Children who should still be playing/being children - that are smoking, drinking and acting like they are teenagers already.

- Spamming Emails advertising crap, like viagra ect

- People who are late. If you say you'll be there at X 'o clock, then be there.

- When you walk past a building site and you get leered and whistled at by a load of arse cracks.

- People that are narrow minded/racist/prejudice/arrogant/rude/big headed/snobby/lazy/two faced/selfish or stereotype others.

- Rude snobby shop assistants that think they are above you. Honey puh-leaze, you aren't a celebrity. You work in a shop, get over yourself..

- People that Tlk Lyke Dis On da iNERnetz!

- Croc shoes. All crocs should be burned.

- I am a secret grammar Nazi. It gets on my nerves when people don't get the their/they're/there, your/you're or to/too/two's right.

....And lots more. You can call me Victoria Meldrew.

My overall pet peeve is by far stupidity. I can personally say that there are times where I act less mature than I should (mostly when hanging out with friends though). However, when I'm online or working, there's just an overwhelming urge to facedesk when dealing with people's stupidity and immaturity. People will say "But I'm only x years old! I don't know any better" which just makes it far worse because they're admitting it and not doing squat about it. Plus the fact that people intentionally do it just because they can.

Another that I can think of off the top of my head is people that gripe and complain about something, and then fail to do anything about it. I always get the "I'm so bored..." in the chat of a forum that I mod. So, when I tell them to go read, they (not knowing the fact that they ARE reading) reply "I hate reading!!" then continue to say how bored they are and not do anything to remedy the situation and annoy others.

Oh bugger... You might want to stay away from my posts then

And mine. Intelligent conversation is definitely not my forte. Blocked bowels, the evolution of socks is as far as my wisdom will carry me.

I think you two will be fine. It's mainly just people that think it's fun to act stupid and then turn to blame it on their age.

When some one says, "I agree, but..." or "Yes, but..."

I agree, but, given the circumstance.....
I hate indecisiveness.

 

[Forsaken]

People who ask for a favor in a way that is completely rude and condescending.

 

[Hannah_M]

People who change their register link on their vB forum from example.com/forum/register.php to example.com/forum/register.php?reffererid=1

Where 1 = the userid of the guy who made the forum.

"I could care less"

 

[Sami]

"To" where "too" should be used.

Oh, and car analogy.

As a boss--

People being late or missing work.
People not following up on things they are supposed to.
