What's your biggest pet peeve?

OMG. Just saw a huge pet peeve: People who wear bluetooth headsets 24/7. No one is that important and you look like a HUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE toolbag.

To tag along with that one:

People who cannot EVER ignore their cell phones.

Unless you're a Dr. or someone who is on-call, you don't really need to be texting/tweeting/staring at your phone ALL the time.

Example: Dinner with people or a social situation like that. I get really annoyed when people just HAVE to be on the phone every minute of the day.

Well, I guess I need to list people saying something is "really unique." Uniqueness is like pregnancy -- there are no degrees of uniqueness.

Thank you. That's the closest I have come to laughing since I got off work. I needed that.

This reminds me of the girl from England I knew in college. She pointed out something very interesting that none of us noticed.

D: Look at your water bottles and read the ingredients.
Me: *reads them off* What? Nothing weird that I couldn't pronounce. Why?
D: IT'S WATER. WHY DOES IT HAVE INGREDIENTS??
The rest of the class: ..... Never noticed that.

Yeah. With baking soda and all sorts of minerals floating in water (bottled or not), no wonder it often tastes weird. I'll take my little Brita water from home over "flavor-enhancing minerals" any day.

Dumb questions.

Yes, despite what your parents have told you, there are such things as dumb questions.

Example: "You're so skinny. Do you EVER EAT?"

One day, I'm going to answer "Nope. Never." and see what the person says.

Or, "Yes, bitch, all the time. And I look damn good."

They're jealous, or they wouldn't make that comment, and it's rude. I realize being rude back isn't the mature way to go, but sometimes it just feels good.

This is the appraoch I take. LOL

One of my "friends" at work always jokes around that I never eat.. Even though he only sees me eat one meal a day. I'm one of those people who, once I find something to eat that I like, I stick with it. When I first started working there a year ago, I had salads every day, and every day he would make a comment about how I didn't eat.. The salad had chicken, and pasta, and dressing mixed in (along with other veggies), but it didn't matter.. He would always say I was anorexic, and he'd point out if I didn't eat even the last two pieces of lettuce at the bottom of the bowl.

So just a couple months ago, I tried some new things in our cafeteria.. And I haven't been able to stop eating egg salad sandwiches. The first day I got one, I ate the whole thing, and of course he made a comment: "wow, anorexic yesterday, bulimic today." So I said, "yup.. I mean, its kind of a waste of money, but all those calories cost me more in the long run!" And I said the whole thing with a smile on my face.

He still says "wow, good job" when I finish everything on my plate, and makes me feel guilty about starving children in Africa when I don't, but I've learned to make jokes back...

Even though it pisses me off to no end!

New pet peeve - people who can't bother to take off their giant Bose headphones when standing in line for food.

I haven't seen this one. Hilarious, though.

I have too many grammar related ones to list, but my current obsession is when people refer to the "heighth" of something. It is length, width and height, not heighth.
