since people have been posting pet peeves...

the worst thing in life is when the little plastic part comes off your shoelace When i was younger, i would just use Duct Tape to fix it..

Also, Misspelled Graffiti..

As for shortcuts on words.. wat and ur.. I agree with you Katev17 it takes little energy to type out all the letters

[XxRachxX]

i hate KEWL! it is the devils word!!!!! :devil: ah! i said it! wheres the holy water!
another thing i hate is when people dont stir sugar in your tea properly and its all sweet when you get to the bottom!! :: puke ::

[Them and Us]

I really haha "lol" for some reason. it bothers me. I say "ha." not "lol." i donno why it bothers me so.

[RachelS.]

You know what I hate? When you're saving a can of Dr. Pepper and you tell EVERYONE in the house that it's your's. You put your name on it and everything. Then you get home from school and it's not there !!! You ask who drank it and no one confesses! I hate that! It's not only just coke, it can be other things, too. That's why I hide my stuff from now on.
And another... When people come over to visit, they use your bathroom (my cousin for example) and they use your shampoo!! Oh I hate that... omg, it gets on my nerves! My cousin was using my perfume (she freakin had her own , but she told me mine smells like roses ), my Velocity, my shampoo AND conditioner, my soap *shivers*... I threw it out after that, lol. So I hid all my personal stuff. Just glad she didn't use my deoderant! grrrr

my biggest pet peeve is cell phones ..... i hate them and will never own one because they piss me off

[marisa]

Totally! Why should I have to suffer through a terrible conversation with crackling, breaking up, periods of silence and repeating myself all because the person with a cell phone insists on talking while driving or walking.

Shane has the best cell phone.. It rings, and when you answer it, hangs up on the person that called you, and then you have to in turn, call that person back.. LMAO!!

Marisa: hey, that cell phone could save your life one day! :P

[marisa]

Matt: What? Really? I was wondering what the flare gun on the side of the new Samsung was for. *L*

LOL thats another pet peeve! Come on folks who needs a gaming system on their cell phone that can play DOOM or any of those other games? haha next will be flotation devices and coffee makers all with the low price of 10 cents a minute pay per use cards and conviently stored in the cell.

To all the spelling critics, please remember this: I'm the only ADD, dyslexic teacher that I know of in NB Also, I have a psychology degree and I can tell you that spelling has never been used as a measure of a persons intelligence, yet for some reason society always assumes that if a person can't spell they are not as intelligent as the rest of us, uh, you.

Wow this thread-helped alot

I agree with the 'LOL' one. It means 'Laugh out loud', right? Ugh. I really wonder how many people actually 'laugh out loud' while sitting on their computer by themselves....I can related to smiling faintly in appreciation....but bellowing, snorting, and Gaffawing?.....I love this discussion....Mmmm...grammar....everybody needs the opportunity to pontificate, right? LOL.

[marisa]

HA! I totally use "LOL" just because I don't want to write "smiling in appreciation"

Smiling In Appreciation,
Marisa

People that use "ur" "asl" (specialy asl) "4" "ctc" in place of full words annoy the heck out of me.

"irregardless" is a minor annoyance. oh, can't forget "meh", it (meh) is like grunting, I just want to slap people that say "meh" upside the head with side of raw beef.

Incorrect spelling and grammer while annoying are not as bad as just being too plain lazy to type correctly.

Having something like ADD is no excuse for laziness like the above.

And yes I have laughed out loud when reading stuff @ the computer. Sometimes at inapropriate times like when a customer is telling me how they've lost 2 years worth of data because they didn't back up and I just read a particularly good punchline at a comic site. I've also had to dry off the screen because I took that sip of coffee when i shouldn't.

[tightsqueeze]

if you don't like it than don't LOOK at it ..this ain't GRAMMER class.....

Actually, I laugh out loud at LOL because I come from a medical background and there it means "little old lady" as in LOL S/P MVA with LOC and AMS

translation: a little old lady status post motor vehicle accident in which she lost conciousness now has an altered mental status
