PET PEEVES

“Proper usage would be: I wonder, is this a good tent?

A pet peeve of mine is extraneous and unneeded words in order to make a sentence longer because the user thinks it makes them sound more sophisticated.

Just get to the point and don't worry about the length. Kinda like getting laid...”

“As I sit here deeply comptemplating the matter, and giving it all due consideration, I wonder who gives a #&%!$?”

“An excellent example of sentence ED, Chilimon.”

“Yeah, the passive voice had gotten me into so much trouble as a a grad student.”

“"Is this a good tent or no?"”

“oh god, i hate "or no?"”

“Let me axe you, Crash Bang, where does it hurt?”

“Q-tips....you know the little tuft of hair at about steering wheel height in the HUGE car that is merging, usually on a very fast roadway, at 1/2 the needed speed.

Or they come across three lanes to make a left from the right lane. Or the ever classic, pull up to the end of the ramp on the interstate and STOP.”

“i know this is cliche, but slow (read: people who drive the speed limit) people in the fast (read: speeding) lane”

“crash, about 5 years ago Richard Petty was late for an appointment and got behind some Granny on I-95 in NC. LOL he started rubbing her bumper...the police comments on it were hilarious.”

“ummm, both lanes have the same speed limit. So I speed and pass on the right nearly as much as I do on the left.”

“Probably changed, but passing on the right used to be illegal in TN.

Of course, the law also stated one must drive in the far right lane unless passing.”

“good point, hyway.”

“chili, someone said the same thing to me a few years back and I looked it up (for NC) and there was no such law about passing on the right on a multilane highway. As a highway design engineer that would be a poor design factor.”

“Right lane is for merging, center is for driving, and left is for passing. At least that was taught to me. In reality it's everyone for them selves.”

“red means stop
green means go
yellow means go FASTER!”

“Stop signs mean stop only if someone is coming.”

“Squeal
Tires
On
Pavement”

“People who say "come with".

"We're going to go to the beach. Would you like to come with?"

Very douchey.”

“People that add and "r" to the sh should, like "I'm going to warsh my cloths."”

“Passing on the right is illegal in most states.”

“LOL...co-workers who "crop dust" as they walk down the hall.”

“hyway,

It appears the law changed in part.

I don't see a prohibition against passing on the right anymore, but slower traffic, by law, should be in the right lane.

55-8-115. Driving on right side of roadway � Exceptions. �


(b) Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic, or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.”

“People that say "supposably" instead of "supposedly" and the ones that say "expresso" instead of "espresso".

People in PA used to say things like "I'm going to go start my car once".

Once? Why only once?! Start it TWICE, I say! ????”

“Here in the south, everyone is "fixin to".

As in, here, hold my beer, I am fixin to kick his ass.”

“starting a sentence with "so"”

“Around here in the middle of winter saying that means you have a good car with a good battery.”

“�Right lane is for merging, center is for driving, and left is for passing. At least that was taught to me. In reality it's everyone for them selves.�

Highways with 3 lanes - bummer.

Fish of any kind in the office microwave - really bad form.”

“People that add and "r" to the sh should, like "I'm going to warsh my cloths."”

...born and raised in NW Ohio...my family are of Ohio/ Indiana backgrounds...I have NO CLUE why I say it...but I most the time say warsh...I do say WASHington...I also grew up saying crick instead of creek....
...I am a small town hick....
:)”

“In CO it's sposed to be illegal to drive in the left lane UNLESS your passing someone. that doesn't stop the morons from going 5 below the speed limit in the left lane though.

another one:

People that say 'irregardless' and people that type the word "LOSE" when they mean to say "LOOSE".

ok, so that's two - but so what.”

“I believe I saw that Webster's caved last year and included "irregardless" in the dictionary, not that it makes its use any more acceptable.”

“people that type the word "LOSE" when they mean to say "LOOSE".

They are sure enough losers.”

“i see this a lot, now that im back in college:

young, able bodied people using those little airport bags on wheels as bookbags. for crying out loud, if im twice your age and can carry 30-60 pound packs on my back up mountains and thru bogs, surely you can carry 5 pounds on your back over level terrain from the parking lot to your class 5 minutes away. sheesh

“just point and laff every time. give 'em a complex.

that's the HEIGHT of dorkiness.”

“Crash is positively geriatric.”

“Five pounds??

Some of those text books weigh 8 to 10 pounds each.

Back in college?
Are you trolling for women there?”

“Stupid staff meetings where everyone runs down their list of projects of which you are completely unaffiliated, don't have any idea what they are talking about and could care less since it doesn't involve you in any way, shape or form other than you are being dragged into a meeting that lasts faaarrrr longer than it ever should.”

“haha i just got done with one of those rosey! it's helpful on some levels, but it always devolves from "high level overview" to "detail street level view".”

“actually, marko, im trolling for a job. im a secondary ed major now.”

“What is worse is the douchebags that get off the trains with them that get in your way. I like when they get stuck in-between revolving doors.”

“people who say ~hugs~ online”

“People who use the last piece of toilet paper; then they get out a new roll and set it on top of the empty tube which is still on the holder.”

“I like to leave just enough paper to cover the tube. Then I unroll that and write "You're screwed!" on the tube, roll it back up and wait. LOL!”

“I'm with you on that one bill. My roommate does that all the time. I don't think he knows how the roller works.”

“Roommate? I thought ya'll called them partners?”

“Sorry about that Zac.

~hugs~”

“Bugs the hell out of me when people are intentionally cruel to other people, then turn around and claim to go to church (I would guess that means they are a christian)”

“Also, if you are going to live in this country, learn how to freaking drive! If you are not even going to go the speed limit, move the hell out of the left lane!!”

“May I say to the Q tip in the WHITE ACURA...there is a time when everyone has to give it up.

JEEZE,”
