My pet peeve is so-called leaders of the free world who say nukular instead of nuclear.

my pet peeve is when you go to have cereal....and there is only crumbs in the bottom, or like 1/4 of a bowl.....

Or when you go to eat cereal and there's no milk left! Come on now!

LOL... everybodies covered alot of mine already

Here's another two of mine:

It is Colombian, NOT Columbian.

I also can't stand when people label Colombians (BCI) as redtails. Two different subspecies should not share a common name IMHO, this creates serious confusion amongst other things. Not to mention it is extremely frustrating when browsing the classifieds looking for a true redtail and clicking on 100 ads titled redtail boa only to find one or two true redtails! BCI were only labelled redtails as a marketing ploy a few decades ago by dealers to make more money since they were somewhat similar in appearance and BCC fetch a higher price.

OMG, and I also hate it when people forget to put periods in their sentences!! It's like one long paragraph that goes ON AND ON and you can't breathe in-between. Arrrgh, my ex-boyfriend does this on KS . com everytime he posts. It's like they have no common sense and don't know how to read or write anything!! Plus people I know that do this usually don't capitalize, either. Here's an example: "my burmese python is sick please help shes not eating and hasnt pooped in 2 days i would like to know whats wrong with her. (<<< even that little period might not be there) does she need to go to the vet? thanks" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Drives me crazy!!!!

dave · 02-28-03, 06:24 PM

Haha, or science teachers who say that. Kinda like the science teacher who said "BIGliography" instead of Bibliography"...GRRR! I don't mind LOL. I think it only bothers me when it's 1 word or part of a word that is substituted, i.e. "l8r g8r"...but if it's in place of a phrase such as "laugh out loud" or "in my honest opinion" I understand, it does take longer to type those.

You know what bugs me...when someone says OMG!!! Which means oh my god!!!

RachelS. · 02-28-03, 11:30 PM

.....omigosh....

Tim_Cranwill · 02-28-03, 11:56 PM

Tightsqueeze, I don't mean to single you out or make you feel stupid, but I need ask. You DO know that you keep typing "common" in stead of "come on", right? Maybe it is another internet slang that I am unaware of, but I just needed to find out once and for all.

Common: Most people at sSnakeSs.com have a lot in common.
Come on: Come on. Let's go see if Hector is finished eating.

Just checking buddy.

I got a giggle out of that one mixing "medicalese" with more common abbreviations -- a little old lady complaining of her son of a ........... I did laugh out loud, but just a little. Then my bird Pixel heard me and he laughed too.

LMAO!! Wow we are all annoyed by such petty little things. What annoys me is people that complain too much, like about the weather in Canada for example. If you don't like it, go live in Cuba lol.

Kathy · 03-01-03, 07:16 PM

Agreed Gino, I hate the people that complain about winter in Canada. It's not called the great white north for nothing, so if you don't like snow, move to Florida.

What I don't like, is on AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) people wo come on and say "Hi" so I reply, and then they don't say anything else. If they didn't want to talk to me in the first place, they shouldn't have said hi.

tHeGiNo · 03-01-03, 08:18 PM

LMAO!!! I DO THAT ALL THE TIME!!!
