One of my biggest ones is when people correct me when I say something like, "Do you want to go see a movie with Matt and me?" And they say, "You mean Matt and I?" And I say, "No, I mean Matt and me. Don't try to correct me when you don't know what you're talking about. Now you're not invited, dick." I'll admit, I do this. To me, saying me is my pet peeve. But "me" is being used correctly in that instance. One of my biggest driving pet peeves has to do with Canadians who never seem to be in the correct lane. I live near a major international crossing, and use the same exit for local traffic as Canadians would to go directly to the bridge, but they often drive slow as can be in the through-traffic lane and cut over at the last instant and/or block through traffic while trying to merge over into their lane (which is CLEARLY labeled multiple times before the lane split).

One of my biggest ones is preppy douches who walk around in Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie, with their straight billed hats on crooked and the $600 cell phones and think their crap don't stink.

So you'd prefer to be grammatically incorrect?

So you'd prefer to be grammatically incorrect? Is it incorrect? *scratches head* Yes. Matt and I would be correct were it at the beginning of the sentence as the subject. In his example "you" is the subject, so Matt and me is the proper wording as it is not the subject.

Off the top of my head...
- Slow walkers at a shopping mall.
- Walking down a busy street and some fool in the middle is smoking.
- Slow drivers, especially those that don't know they're going slow and refuse to pull over to let traffic behind pass.
- People who don't indicate.
- Cyclists who drive in the same lane that I drive my truck in that wonder why so many of them die each year, stay off the goddamn road and get an Exercycle instead.
- People who are so used to a bands old material that they label anything new they put out as poop or flat out refuse to listen to it.
- When I'm watching a movie and someone says to me 'Did you see that!?' like I was staring at the floor the whole time.
- Gas station attendants that get annoyed when they have to come out and fill my truck up, annoyed that they have to do, you know, their job...
- 12 year olds who have their profile pic on Facebook of them flashing the Crips sign, or just anyone who does that.
- Political Correctness.
- Going to the movies to watch a horror and having to listen to people screaming during scenes like they didn't expect to see scary poop.

Unless you live in Jersey, or are handicapped, I'd say pump your own freaking gas too.

I'm just playing - I work with the public, and I'm far from a contented, peace of mind type person.
We do free vehicle evaluations for most situations at work - exhaust, brakes, suspension, steering, and so forth. If you know even the tiniest bit about cars, you know that a problem with any one of those components can pose an incredible risk to either the driver or other commuters on the road...
...so why would you go through the trouble of noticing a problem, being worried enough to have it brought in to be diagnosed, and when we diagnose it and give you a solution - decline the service?
I'll also never fathom the person who will, as I'm taking info off your car, lining the seat and floor, and preparing to drive your several thousand dollar investment out of your sight, act unconditionally rude, snippy or abusive toward me.
I'd also like to state that working in this capacity has turned me quite prejudiced against one particular minority group. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not sorry either. When one particular group of individuals has a knack for displaying the same exact nuances that grind my gears, the daily routine of it can turn into great disdain.

Lol if people scream during a horror film I would think it is because the movie was good. What you said is the same as saying you hate when people laugh at comedys.I thought of a few more pet peeves. • People who dont know how to act in a movie theater. Either they talk during the movie, making it hard for me to hear the movie. OR they think they are at home and put there feet up on the seats in front of them. If it was meant for your feet it would be called a foot rest not a seat. • People who dont educate there children. Its the type of people who sit on there big BE hinds while there children act up. Sometimes the parents even think it's cute the kid act like a crap head. • People who flick cigarette buts out of there window while driving. This one really makes me mad. You have an ashtray in your car for a Mother Fing reason so Fing use it. Not only are you littering you are putting people at risk. What if my truck was leaking oil or gasoline? • People who leave garbage filled trays on the table at fast food estabishments. Was the table covered with trays, food wrappers, and empty cups when you sat down? So why are you leaving it that way for the next person? Are you really that lazy/inconsiderate of others that you cant take your tray and throw away your own trash?

Unless you live in Jersey, or are handicapped, I'd say pump your own freaking gas too. There are a few states where they have to pump the gas for you. I did a driver's ed class and one of the slides said "When getting gas, always have a trained attendant to do it for you. If that is not available, only then fill up your own tank" I'm just sitting there thinking "Good God, how many years has it been since there was a full service station anywhere NEAR here?" lol

I thought of a few more:
When you are at a flea market or a yard sale and the person runs up to you as soon as you stop for one second to look at an item telling you everything about it.
People who overprice there items in a flea market.
People who don't control there kids.
People who say "This item is extremely rare" when it is not.
People who call wrestling figures "dolls".
People who think they know everything and there is no way to convince them otherwise.

Firsthand experience just reminded me of another one...
People who tend to their personal hygiene on public transportation.

People who have no manners. Mainly my best friend who's only manners seem to be leaving the room to fart or saying "excuse me" after burping, yet usually when he comes over he brings a bunch of food that he just piles all over dressers/desk.
When he leaves he cleans up most of it but always leaves behind dirty napkins or a bunch of stains /crumbs on the floor. Also when he touches any sort of disc he always grabs the bottom of it leaving a ton of finger prints afterward that irritates the crap out of me.
Also anyone who says "you know what I mean?" after saying something that was completely understandable.

Then you'd be part of the problem, and would have put yourself at risk by driving it in the first place. See my first complaint. You said you disliked people who know there vehicle has a problem and refuse to get it fixed. A car leaking oil is a not that rare to find. Unless you park in a garage or in the same spot every day it's not that obvious to see for most people. Heck I've seen people take cars in for service only to have some neglectfull mechanic not properly secure the drain plug causing a leak right after getting "serviced". A gasoline leak is not too common but I've seen it before as well where people dont know they are leaking. So again, your pet peeve is people who have been told they need repairs and neglect them. What I said was I disliked people who flick cigarette buts out on the roads littering and causing a fire hazzard. A leak, no matter how often you get maintance done on your vehicle, is always a possiblity. So please dont say im part of the problem.
