Pet Peeves - what's yours?
This isn't supposed to be a GRAWRRRR post, just light-hearted. I know everyone has pet peeves and I wanna know what they are!
Do the creep.
Re: Pet Peeves - what's yours?
My pet peeve? The word 'yummy'. I never say it and cringe when other people do. It's a word that only a 4-year old can get away with. Much like adults shouldn't say "Excuse me. I'm going to the ladies room to make a poopy."
I feel like adults should have a more extensive vocabulary than what 'yummy' calls for.
How's about 'tasty'? Or 'delicious'? Or even just 'good'?
Do the creep.
when people use the word "less" when they should say "fewer".
when people misuse "there", "their", and "they're"
I have a number of pet peeves, however, in keeping with the vocabulary trend, I am not a fan of people pluralizing "you" into "youse" - drives me NUTS!!
"How youse doin' today?" ... SERIOUSLY???
Another 'favourite' pet peeve..."I SEEN you yesterday at bla bla bla."
Really? You SEEN her??
Perhaps it's because I am a teacher that these two things drive me batty. It makes me cringe even more so when I hear adults using such incorrect grammar!
This made me LOL -- it's so true! Along those same FB lines, have any of you girls visited the site STFU Couples? Heee-larious!
Do the creep.
I hate it when people put their whole relationship as thier status Example A: "im not to sure how to feel now. stop pushn me out! gezz you promisd you would do that again. do i leave you and move forward? can i? i dont want to! amazing, you. funny, you. serious, you. caring, you. affectionate, you. stable, you. evrythng, you"
Also, I hate bad grammer, I can't spell, but at least I can speak. And please don't call me Kaffrin. My name is KaTHerine.
Ok, keeping up with FB posts:
I hate when people write mini letter posts. For example: "Dear traffic Gods, I am already late for work, can you help me out here? Love, Katie" UGH
Also, I cannot stand when people point out my accent, and then say AKS instead of ASK. I used to work with this girl, she constantly complained about the way I said things and said she cannot understand my accent. She would say: "Can I AKS you a question?" UGH
My Blog
Ugh. I hate this too, especially with the word "grumpy". Using this word will not impress me with your childlike whimsy.
Also I hate it when people say "twenny". It's twenty. Add the "t".
Sorry, I've got another one...
Please please please use deodorant, or at least wash, daily.
Especially when you want to come into my small office. I have a very sensitive nose.
Yes! FMIL did this a bit right before DH and I got married because she wanted to be coddled because her little baby boy was getting married...
I this was also mentioned up thread, but I hate when couples post their entire relationship on facebook. I always get the long distance couples who insist on having their online conversations about how much they miss each other publicly on their walls instead of in chat or email or anything that I CAN'T SEE!
Doesn't Gus from Psych have this problem?
I personally don't mind the word
Oh my gosh! Me too! And most of my friends think I'm super weird because I just HATE that word! I do not used it.
to go along with the grammar thing...
I pretty much despise every word that comes out of Rachael Ray's mouth.
Sammie, Yummo, Evoo (said as one word), etc...
and along the same lines, I HATE "preggo", and even more: "preggers", especially when people type it. Seriously - "preggers" = 8 letters, "pregnant" ALSO = 8 letters, you're not "saving time" by changing it, you're just being stupid.
/rant
oh oh oh!
I had a friend on facebook, who put up a picture (it was small, so I couldn't see what it was) with the title "OHH my gosh! TOOO CUTE!! I just HAD to take a picture!!!"
yeah, it was her daughter's "potty training accident" - she pooped all of the stairs, has spread it acrossed the carpet and still had it going down her leg (you could see ALL of this in the picture).
NO! You're daughter's poop is NOT "TOOO CUTE!!!" and you really don't *HAVE* to take a picture of it...
she would have been immediately de-friended!
When people call me ChristinE when my name is ChristinA. Or before we got married everyone would call my then fh my "hubby" or "husband".
Ohh and fb all together lol
I'm guilty of using the word "yummy". LOL I like to eat, so I use the word alot.
I think the word "panties" is worse. That word creeps me out, especially if kids use it.
My biggest pet peeve it LITTERING. I can't stand when people throw things out their car window, or just walking down the street. Would it kill people to hold on to it until they get to a garbage can? Can't stand it.
