OK, this took me a long time to come up with, but I have a list of several.

1. People who, when typing/writing, change the contractions should've, could've, et cetera to should OF, could OF, et cetera, rather than the actual should have, could have. UGH!

2. General misuse of grammar. Especially the use of they're/their/there and who's versus whose.

3. Cell phone while driving. Cell phones in restaurants. Cell phones in class.

4. People who insist on blasting the bass so loud in their car that it shakes your fucking house. Why is this acceptable?

I agree with you both. I hate being on the streetcar or bus (thankfully they don't work in the subway) and forced to listen to the most inane conversations. "I'm at Queen and Brock now. I just finished eating pizza." That was a fascinating conversation I overheard the other day.

I was trying to enjoy a peaceful lunch not too long ago and two women were debating the menu. Finally one said, "I know! I'll call Stephanie [definitely not me, I would have hung up on her] and ask her what to order."

:confused:

FallenAngel5,

Yes'm. It is a bit of a bother, isn't it? Sometimes, when they're behind me, I can watch the reflection of their car shimmer in time to the bass beats of their music. About the only contentment I can get from the situation is the knowledge that the driver behind me is in the process of damaging his (or anymore, her) hearing.

My pet peeve.

Those who don't respect other's opinions because those opinions differ from their own. I am tired of having to zip my lip or ignore the elephant or donkey in the room because it may offend someone...or get me an ass chewing.

Double Amen to that! Although I am not very good about keeping my opinion to myself regardless of what the majority thinks of it.

And also...

My dear darling jseal,
I am the one behind you in the car damaging my hearing :wingang:
I am truly offended that you don't appreciate my superior taste in music.
Yours Truly,

LAW

*not offended, just being sarcastic* :x:

jseal 07-08-2005 07:17 PM

I like my music in the car loud too - so I can't hear myself sing, lol - but I like my MUSIC loud, not just the bass, which becomes so loud you can't hear the rest of the song. Don't get me wrong, I love to see people in the car jammin to good music. :)
