🙄🤪 What are your biggest pet peeves? 🙄🤪

[RjThoughts]

1. People in public smoking anything and then calling me names when I hack up lungs
2. Phone zombies!!

Inconsistency

 

[Tallulah82]

Inconsistency

I'm inconsistent

I mean, I'm upfront about it and I'm consistent in my inconsistency. Does this help?

My current pet peeve is based on websites who have a tick box for 'remember me' log ins, then never fucking remember me. Wankers.

The new tipping culture. I don’t tip for fast food.

 

[PotNoodle79]

Being peeved by so many things that I can't pinpoint the major culprit(s).

 

[Wouldlovetoo]

People who can't control their dogs, yet walk them off leash.

 

[SimplyMsT]

Oh the list is long and very distinguished. Just to name a few ...

Liars
Not using the fucking blinker
Rude to other people

I will tip a dollar at Starbucks because most times, like 10 out of 11 times, they see me coming and have my drinks either started or done before I order LOL

People who say they didn't have time yet are on Social media 25 hours a week.

Whilst I don't disagree with this, what gets my goat is both the people who post their lives as perfect (including pics that are often filtered), AND the people who *believe* that the poster's life is one big rosy party.

Too much damage is done all round by trying to live up to false expectations on/for social media.

When the back and forth flirting and writing is starting to get more erotic, I start realizing the woman is no longer writing me unless I ask why she isn't...and then the explanation is short and not helping resolve whatever the issue actually is...

Grammar and usage has me peeved today. At the top of my list are (and I'm referring to the practices of people who present themselves as writers and/or journalists):

Using "awhile" as a noun

Saying "less" when they mean "fewer"

Using "of" in place of the contraction " 've " for "have"

And to a lesser degree (I'm getting myself over this one, baby steps) using "podium" when they mean "lectern."

No, I don't correct people, I swallow hard and move on, that's why they are peeves being aired here. {sigh} (and yes I realize I do literally a million things that irritate others...)

Ugh, the of instead of the ‘ve contraction is like nails on a chalkboard for me!

I’d also add people who use weary instead of wary.

People telling me that my recipe for Polish stuffed cabbage is WRONG, despite it being well over 100 years old AND a family recipe! Golumpki in our family do NOT have any tomato products on them, since Babci, my Polish ethnic Russian Empire immigrant great-grandmother brought it over from the Old Country in 1912. The only changes she made were to the binders, rice instead of barley. The meat's the same 2 parts ground sirloin, 2 parts ground pork, 1 part ground veal, it's just now called meatloaf/meatball mix.

At the risk of opening a can of worms, what precisely is the difference? For those of us who don't know?

One stands on a podium, one stands behind a lectern. It's become common practice to misuse podium, just irks me and I need to get over it (except when we're talking peeves)

Can you give an example of "awhile" for the class?

I've been masturbating for a while, I think I'll rest awhile.

Socks while fucking. You do this when you know you've got to make a quick escape; you know when you can't stay A WHILE
