my aunt calls vienna sausages "vie' eena" sausages



a pet peeve of mine is when someone is upset with me but WON'T TELL ME WHY!!! OMG, How can I apologize, fix it or change if I don't know what I did???
A year and a half ago, my neighbor across the street started ignoring me out of the blue - seriously, she would turn her back to me when she saw me outside. And just a couple days ago, one of the girls from the chapter I advise started ignoring me, like purposely and blatantly staring at the wall across from me instead of even looking at me....I don't get it - What did I do??

I have lots of peeves:

*Wet clothes. I hate it. The second anything I'm wearing gets wet, it has to come off or I will freak out.

*When the fitted sheet on my bed comes off. I will get up at any time of the night to fix it.

*When a child is totally rude and their parent laughs and thinks it's cute. For example: my friend's 3 year old pushed her cousin and said "get out of my way." Instead of telling her "That's not how you speak to people," she laughed.

*When people complain about their weight, while eating a Big Mac.Seriously?

*Maybe it's just because I'm not originally from here, but Ohio people who have never been anywhere outside of their small Ohio town and have never heard of ANYTHING. They're from Smalltown, OH, and have never even been anywhere and they like that way.

*People who quote movies on Facebook, but get the quotation TOTALLY wrong.

*Intentionally misspelled words on the internet, such as lyke, luv, and becuz. Did you go to school, or were you just visiting?

*When people list MAGAZINES in their "Favorite Books" section. Vogue is not a book.

*People who talk about money (either how much they have or how broke they are). I just have always shyed away from open discussion of money.

*Diet-conscious people who feel the need to tell me the amount of fat/calories in my food while I'm eating it. I don't care.

*People who take pictures of their shoe collections/purse collections/whatever and post them on Facebook. They're usually accompanied by captions such as "OMG totally obsessd."

*People who post TMI in their FB status. I don't need to know that Katie is "soo [f-ing] pissed that Josh didn't come over last night because he wa too busy [f-ing] his other [b-word]. Really, I don't.

*When people make their engagement ring their profile pic on FB. Then when you check their profile, they have entire albums featuring JUST the ring. I get that you're excited, and pic or 2 with your fiance and the ring is fine, but I don't think it needs its own album.

*Music snobs. You know, the kind of people who make fun of others because they listen to bands that are popular. They also always feel the need to tell you that they "saw *insert popular band here* at *insert event here* before everybody else liked them. Who cares?

*When people are late and don't call me and let me know.

*Going out with my friends who have kids, and having to listen to them talk about their kids all night. Do you have no other interests? I don't want to hear about Kaylee's diaper rash while I'm eating my pad thai.

*Loud noises, especially vacuum/appliance noises. I hate them.

LOL I agree with these

I feel you on this one. Two of my closest line brothers recently had children, and EVERYTHING is about the kiddos. I love the kids to death, but I don't care to know every aspect of their development.

People who can't pronounce the word, "ask". It's not Axed!!!!
Also, when you are dead, you will be carried away in a hearse not a Hertz.
EYE-talian is another pet peeve, as is "AAAsh-tray.

I would prefer that over "ass-tray"

I've heard far too many people pronounce it that way.

I hate it when companies reduce the size of their product and try to call it 'New and Improved' or some other superlative while charging us the same amount of dollars for less.

I hate when someone has just smoked a cigarette and then gives me a hug...yech.

I hate mean girls who grow up to be mean women. Grow up, this isn't high school!!
