A long time pet peeve of mine is weather forecasters (obviously, those on tv) who stand in front of the weather maps, charts and graphs. I want to see and study these things to figure out on my own what's up; especially, since I don't always agree with their predictions. Not look at their overly made up butts! Besides, why show them if they are only going to be blocked!? GRRR. I've actually called a couple stations to complain about this before to no avail. Thank God for the internet so that I can now take all the time I need and do so at anytime I want…providing I'm near a computer.
Peeved...?

Sorry, I shouldn't harp on the grammatical. You asked!
"I SEEN -fill in band name here- LAST WEEK".
or in NASCAR
"He was 3rd QUICK"
how about NASCAR in general? :)
plenty of english mangling to complain about: "irregardless" and "it goes without saying that (proceeds to say it)" are my favs.

That's seems to be true for sports in general.

Lobot really doesn't get the fashionista cred he deserves…
it bothers me when people say "i could care less" when it should be "i couldn't care less"
i want to correct them everytime i hear it
oh, i HATE to hear people eating and/or talking with a mouth full of food

Oh, I just thought of another….the way Americans eat with that stabbing your food with a fork then using your knife to cut it, then putting your knife down, switching hands with the fork then taking a bite. Switch hands back, stab your food, pick up the knife cut it, put knife down, switch hands with the fork, take a bite, repeat the process until your food is finished.
What's up with that?
vegetarians who get upset with a vegetarian offering because they don't like the vegetables.
oh. oh god. i can't believe i forgot about my no. 1 - people who blow their nose while at the dinner table.
that's disgusting. get up and walk to the bathroom. don't think it is ok to spray your germs about just because you have finished your meal you bloated pig. :D

People who say they won't eat food containing pork because God says it's a no-no. What, is this 2000BC? Are they afraid of trichinosis? It makes one wonder if they have ever heard of that groovy, new invention: fire…?

just been reminded of another huge one for me: people who take up two parking spots with one car. i live in a neighborhood where street parking is in demand. one vehicle smack in the middle of two spots is downright disrespectful and inconsiderate. the temptation to get all vigilante on their paint job or tires is something awful.
Or those who park diagonally across two parking spots in a shopping mall car park. I used to drive a beat up old full sized Dodge pick up truck and park right up next to them at the same angle.
And have you noticed how it's more often than not a Camaro or Firebird.

When a sports team calls themselves "WORLD CHAMPIONS" and there's only teams from one, or sometimes two, countries in the bloody competition.

I bet a local Cuban or S. American team would challenge for the MLB, or an eastern European or Scandinavian team for the Stanley Cup. Which brings up another point. Not only are these teams not the WORLD champions, they're not even the AMERICAS champions.
