What are your pet peeves?

I thought this would be a good idea for a thread, what are some of your pet peeves? I have too many to list, so I'll just share one for now I hate it when people ask questions then ignore you when you answer them!

Re: What are your pet peeves?

^^ Oh, that drives me insane!

People who don't make eye contact when talking gets me. And people who interrupt you mid-sentence and continue to speak.

Could go on for pages!

Re: What are your pet peeves?

i would have to say people who abbreviate everything, i know i do this some times, but when i do its because of my phone, or because i dont know how to spell it. i know people who will abbreviate EVERYTHING in a status on Facebook or what not, SOOOO annoying.

and being tickled, is that okay to say! lol despise being tickled

you know i'm talking about the greek sandwich correct? if so i don't think you're right.

/edit, i googled it lol

Nobody pronounces it right and the people at the restaurants are used to it. The most egregious sounds like "jai-roe" with the "jai" sounding like "pie." You're better off just trying "hee-roh" like "hero" but with a little longer "e." The correct pronounciation is actually a soft g, which is very hard for most Americans to get right.

re: rockandroller1 yeer-oh seems to be the closest phoenetic spelling I can come up with. Although some hardcore greeks may frown upon mispronunciation - I'm pretty sure that if they have a que for their gryos they don't care how you pronounce it so long as you pay. =P

re: Prax1134 I grew up in an area with a large Greek population and yeer - oh was the accepted pronunciation. But they are tasty however they are ordered!

we are both wrong, apparently its yee roh! lol although your pronunciation is the most egregious
(and maybe the american dictionary doesn't pronounce greek words correctly, who knows O.o)

/edit american dictionary for canadian xD

the end!

Re: What are your pet peeves?

I can't stand it when people think they are better than others- vanity drives me insane. I also hate it when people think that just because they and all their friends are rich, it means they're automatically cultured and worldly. Get out of your fancy little sports car and go buy a homeless person a meal, you privileged little twit!

And people who "LOL-speak" in actual face-to-face conversation. I know a person at my school who, instead of laughing, will say "LOL"....huh? Are you that removed from human contact that you've forgotten the proper response to a joke???

Yep..................., that and idiots who think it's OK for a total stranger to show up in my woods at my camp deep in the middle and wonder why I'm not friendly?

Re: What are your pet peeves?

People who are messy.

My mother drives me insane, like how hard is it to put a dirty plate in the dishwasher after you eat!

Drives me freakin nuts.
