I'm pretty mellow, but I really want to choke the S*** out of people who refer to a parent (especially a father) or grandparent supervising their kids/grandkids as "babysitting". As in "Oh, I see you are having to babysit this afternoon" - like it's a burden instead of a blessing.

Let's see:

Stupid people (If you have to ask what this means, you're stupid)

Oklahoma roads (seriously, does no one in this state know how to build a road correctly???)

Discourteous drivers

I have lots more, but these are the top three.

Losers who leave just leave their shopping carts in the parking lot when the return is 20' away.

Seriously! It's not like you even have to walk ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE STORE anymore. Not like that's a big deal either.

...
Also...the words lectern and podium...ARGH!!!! G@D D@MN IT...use it correctly!!!!!!
...

Sell vs sale

People who can't use the right words or generally butcher the english language.

Not that it's easy, but it's communication. It annoys me when people take for granted how important being literate is.

IE: If your righting a sentence about you're new whatever, and you can't write it with the correct words, or grammar.

I'll be honest, I bend the rules at times. Especially in writing: for effect. Or to annoy others. I say things like "these ones" or "those ones" in full knowledge that it's wrong. But it irks people, so I do it anyways.

Let's see:

Stupid people (If you have to ask what this means, you're stupid)

Oklahoma roads (seriously, does no one in this state know how to build a road correctly???)

Discourteous drivers

I have lots more, but these are the top three.

Oklahoma does have a lot of awful roads, drivers, and a ton of incredibly stupid, or superstitious, people.

People driving in the fast lane who are not going fast!

People that can't merge onto the highway!
Don't make me get over and then you speed up as soon as you are on the highway!

You should have sped up and blended in.

People who think the road is theirs, and everyone else can just deal with it.

In other words, this:

So..? Its still Not a Fast lane ...its a "passing lane"?

How many people change back to the right lane when "not passing"??

Or are we just in your way..??

I call "BS" and "bullying"...slow down or go around, I'm doing the speed limit.

Remember its Not a "Speeding" lane....YEE Haw

Butchering the written language. Excessive ellipses, random capitalization, and misused commas and quotation marks.

And a selfish driver. "I'm in the left lane, so you can go around."

Like the guy with the handicap sign in his truck yesterday that parked across the handicap space and the regular space next to it.

If the right lane is rough: drive in the left until someone is coming up behind you, get over until they pass, then hop back into the left lane.





So I think I can sum up my pet peeves with this:

People who are lazy, selfish, and ungrateful.
