1. Alex Trebek: Alex Trebek, the host of Jeopardy, is super-annoying to me. I love the show, and my wife and I enjoy playing along. Alex, on the other hand, possesses a subtle type of pompousness that just gets me fired up. He has all of the answers on the screen in front of him, so why must he correct the contestants as if his intelligence is so impressive? Each evening, it is inevitable that he says something that aggravates me, but I tolerate his presumptuousness for the sake of the game.
2. Experts: By experts, I am referring to individuals who have a highly-specific, even esoteric knowledge of a particular field who, for whatever reason, assume that everyone else on the earth has the same particular knowledge. In other words, I don't want a mechanic to speak to me as if I should be completely aware of every facet of my truck's engine. I don't expect him to be able to produce a thesis statement evaluating the parallels between Orwell's vision of a dystopic society and the modern politics of North Korea under Kim Jong Il. The world doesn't revolve around you (or me), and if I, along with others, had a pre-existing knowledge of engine mechanics, you would be unemployed.
3. Phil Simms: He's the former Giants quarterback who works as a game analyst/announcer for the NFL on NBC. He just plain old bothers me. What bothers me even more is the fact that I cannot articulate exactly why he bothers me; he just does.
4. Parking Near Me: Don't park near me. I park, in most cases, as far away from other cars as possible, yet often I return from a place of business to find a vehicle parked uncomfortably close to my truck in some subconscious attempt to make my vehicle feel less isolated. There are hundreds of free spots; why is there a need to bump doors? Go away.
5. Snobs: When I worked in catering, I learned a lot about how people treat individuals when they are functioning in a position of "service". When I would "serve" people, they seemed to adopt an attitude of not only social- but intellectual- superiority. They spoke to me as if I were an idiot, assuming that my choice of employment must be a direct result of a lackluster intellect. Now, I put special effort into treating people who "serve" me not as servants but as human beings who should not be categorized by their occupation, no matter how menial.
7. Sports Regurgitators: A sports regurgitator is someone who: a) is a devotee of Sportcenter and talk radio and b) regurgitates or otherwise recycles sports-related ideas and opinions of others in an attempt to pass them off as their own.
8. People Who Don't Pull Forward at Drive-Thru's: Congratulations, you've placed your order! But you're job is not done. There are seven people behind you, all of whom have not placed theirs, so creep on forward to allow others to do so.
9. "Could Care Less": It is I "couldn't care less". "Could care less" implies the existence of a level of care; "couldn't care less" implies a level of care so minuscule it is impossible to care less. So, "could care less"= I care. I try not to be an English snob (this would violate PP #5), but this one is so widespread it tends to bother me.
10. Strangers at My Door: I chose my dog, a Bullmastiff, because I feel an animal should contribute to the family in some way. I feel like dogs should earn their kibble. Bullmastiffs were originally bred to pursue and attack poachers in rural England. They still don't bark much, because barking would give humans an opportunity to escape and take the fun out of actually catching someone. So, essentially, their function is to protect their home from intruders. Ramona is gentle and goofy with her family and loved ones but she is suspicious of strangers. If the Comcast guy comes to fix the table, Mona makes it abundantly clear, via body language alone, that he is not allowed to give as much as a dirty look to anyone in the house. I live in a fairly large development, the type of neighborhood perfect for Halloween and ideal for door-to-door solicitation. My dog makes strangers very uncomfortable, and they seem to question why I would keep such a beast. The irony is that, in their discomfort, is their answer. Maybe I'm a hobbit.

Most of your pet peeves are people... lol. I remember the "care-o-meter" you drew on the board. And if I remember correctly, you ARE a self-proclaimed snob and an expert on mostly everything that exists.
1) When people say ATM Machine.
ATM = Automated Teller Machine
2) People that go tanning in the winter.
3) People that drive excessively slow.
4) People that tailgate
5) People that say that don't care when they clearly do.
6) People that are completely ignorant to new ideas and won't even listen to what is being said.

My Pet Peeves!

Alison Lynch's Pet Peeves:
1. People who don't text back quickly: It takes all of 30 seconds to send a quick text, why does it take you a half hour to respond to me? Common courtesy... say, "I'll be delayed" or "BRB" or anything!

Kaylyn Dorsey
1. People who talk on cell phones while they are ordering food, especially at drive thrus… no, I do not want to hold on while you are finishing your conversation, I have other things to do and other people to serve.

3. People who disrespect their teachers and elders.
4. People who refuse to be wrong and blame everyone else for their failures.

22. People that are extremely smart but just lazy. Especially when they try to always copy your work.
23. When people cut you off and then continue to dry extremely slow.

2)When people don’t use the correct form of “your.”
3)People who don’t text back fast or only send one word texts.

1)When people don't tip me when I deliever their food but they still act really nice.

1. I hate people who watch their shots in tennis. You hit the ball, good for you. It probably wasn't even that good of a shot so why do you act as if your amazing. Your not.
2. Once you take your socks off, they should stay off. They are dirty, why would you put dirty clothes back on?
3. Tuna fish. If your going to make tuna fish, you better rinse the bowl out. It smells.
4. I hate teachers who give homework over vacation.
5. When you see people go out to eat and all they are concerned with is their phones. Put the phone down and talk. Is it really to difficult?
6. I hate people who think they know you, but they really don't.
7. People during DF's who say the same EXACT thing as the person before them. Cool, you agree. Whats the point?
8. People who are upset because they failed a test but didn't study. Its your fault. Stop complaining...maybe next time you'll be smart and review your notes.

One of my pet peeves is Tv shows that have episodes in which they say "To be continued" at the end.
One of my pet peeves is when TV shows that have episodes that say "To be Continued" at the very end.
I couldn't really think of any pet peeves at first. Then I thought of things that tick me off at my house. One is when people leave stuff around the house and they can't just walk like 2 feet to put it away...cool.
Another thing is when people playing sports talk bad about the other team and get in fights or talk mean to other players on the field right to their face. Jerks.
Lastly, (of what I can think of) is when it gets dark and people leave their curtains and shades open. People can see you in your house and it bugs me. So I have to shut mine at my house right when it gets dark.

12) Teachers that scale tests:pity points/ "you did so bad, i'm impressed"
13) Drive-thru customers who have absolutely no clue what they want to order/ what restaurant they are at:
14) Kids that don’t know how to walk in the hallway: Stick to the right and keep moving!
Paul Southworth
My pet peeve (but I have others) is when people talk to me as if I'm stupid, but I already know what there talking about. Big example is in "Magic the Gathering" when my adversary is explaning a card that I have seen over a HUNDRED TIMES that wins you the game unless you have a card that can stop it from hitting the field or stop it's ability. Well thats my pet peeve. (P.S) people who play "Magic the Gathering" for money know my pain all to well.
Big pet peeve of mine is people who think they are so smart just to get a simple question wrong.
