I don't like it when people mix up the words "your" and "you're". Or "there", "their", and "they're". IP: Logged |

Withboy, she was commenting on the fact that you put "mines" instead of "mine". IP: Logged |

quote: I do admit, that does get a little annoying sometimes. - People who call my mom "mommy" that don't even know her and just do it cause she has kids. - People that aren't straight with me.

quote: that's a good one, i like that. ha ha! i say "for reals" in a joking sense. but i say "for real" on a regular basis (no 's'). pet peeve: when people do their whole make-up routine in public (ie: city bus, etc). i can undestand lipstick, but for some reason when people do their foundation and eye make-up and everything in public, it just drives me nuts! ------------------ IP: Logged |

- people who misuse "irony" or "ironic". - people (and movies) that misuse "prodigal son" - people who feel restricted to act strictly stereo-typical. It must be so binding! [This message has been edited by muse1176 (edited 06-24-2010).] IP: Logged |

Pet Peeve: Customers who give you attitude when you're out of hazelnut coffee flavoring or when they don't agree with the price of something in the store as though it's your fault. I don't decide on the prices, so please don't preach to me about the economic recession. IP: Logged |

I think maye i talk quiet, but its still frustrating. People should listen harder untill I can get louder. But Beware!: I tell my little sis not to say huh? and whuh? or I'll give her bad dreams. She just snorts, which is really unattractive. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Peeve: people who think that the entire world should bend over backwards to accommodate them, when in reality- they should make the effort to fix things also. IP: Logged |

Meh, not my responsibility to make other people comfortable when they don't do anything to help the situation. I'll help those who help themselves first. IP: Logged |

quote: Yeah, everybody should help themselves. But Im not gonna ask somebody if they're helping themselves before I help them, I'm just gonna do it. that's how it works, ya know. People need help--key word 'help'--because they need assistance. Maybe that does mean somebody saying "Help yourself!"... But not always. ------------------ IP: Logged |

it takes two to tango. compromise can go a long way. you can't expect the rest of world to work for you. help me help you. am i getting through here? ------------------ IP: Logged |

I understand you... But don't ya think when you help somebody, generally they respond and accept the help and become Fixed and Everything? I mean, obviously not always, but isn't that the gist? ------------------ [This message has been edited by WitchBoy06 (edited 07-24-2010).] IP: Logged |

this converaation is getting pretty stupid. obviously we'll all just have to agree to disagree on this one, because apparently there are somethings that are just not being understood. with time young one, with time. pet peeve: when milk poured to far in advance for dinner. i want my milk ice cold and thats it! none of this 5 or 10 minute-out-of-the-fridge-warm milk. blah! ------------------ IP: Logged |

...do you know what naive means? IP: Logged |

It irks me to no end when people use "I" as an object pronoun, because it's been drilled into them that they should always say "you and I." Such as: "Jake met up with Jane and I..." And then when you tell them it should be "Jane and me," you get that funny askance look that makes me want to grab my Chicago Manual of Style and flip to the proper page...

Yeah, sorry Helen... that was directed toward Witchboy. IP: Logged |

s'ok. kinda funny. pet peeve: when people are under the impression that whatevr is going on in their lives is much more important than anything else you may have to take care of. side note: this is not directed at anyone here its actually about a friend of mine who is getting on my nerves right now. and in general i dont like when people do this. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: Yes, but I am not attached to that word. Me? Naive? Hah! I don't think I could pull it off if I tried! (I am no Dorothy Gale, honey.) I just think what you took for naive was hope and faith in other people... You were confused. But now you know. ------------------ IP: Logged |

i sa for realz. pet peeve: when the buses are too early or too late. why can't they just be one time? too early is actually worse. in my opinion. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: now forgive me, but i think me and Jane sounds better than Jane and me. But i'm not an english teacher or a grammar expert. although, one pet peeve of mine (and this is actually not directed at newbreed) is when people correct my grammar or pronounciation when i'm talking out loud. like not in writing, but when i'm speaking. when they interupt me to correct my grammar. hmm..well...i could be correcting their manners after they pull something like that. especially when they do it in front of other people. i dont get embarassed bvery easily, but someone corrects a minor mistake infront of others, its pretty rude...in my opinion. /pet peeve rant. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'm glad it wasn't directed at me, helenbooktrip, because I've made a concerted effort to stop doing that, and I'm glad to see it's working. I'm a proofreader by trade, so it just happens sometimes. I'm working on it.Another pet peeve...I can't stand it when people try to box my opinions into categories. For instance, "oh, you would think that, because you're female/Greek/heterosexual/what have you." It's bothersome. IP: Logged |

helenbooktrip Moderator |
oh NEWBREEEEEEED!!! I am with on that peeve. "oh my must me slutty because you like black guys." uh huh...NO! i am not easy or slutty or what have you. seriously, i am a nice, decent...sometimes outspoen girls and just because i am attracted to black guys does not make a slut. that a very unfair assumption. some people are only attracted to blonds, some people only like beefy guys, some skinny people...whatever. i am attracted to black skin. so SUE me. in conclusion...Newbreed, i am seconding your peeve. word. ------------------ IP: Logged |
