I have some pet peeves, mostly related to grammar and writing. I thought it might be fun to see what others' pet peeves are. They don't have to be writing related.

When you go to have cereals in the morning but you forgot to buy the milk the day before. Yeah, I hate that.

You forget to put out the garbage and it's full. Yeah, I hate that too.

Your shopping and you realize that you left your wallet at home. Yeah, I have done that also.

You go to mark a lamp post but you are all out of wee!

People who kick you when you're already down.

YESSSS!!!!! i HATE that.

Ugh! THAT is partly why i became an advocate for those who are kicked when they're already down. It's a horribly onerous thing to do. I become like a female "David" going against Goliath....the bigger n' badder they are, the harder they fall....

Well now you've done it....you got me going

Ok, back on track....

i HATE pens that don't write, especially a whole pack of 'em that ya' just bought.

Today my pet peeve is that practice known as oversinging. You know, where these pop singers take a beautiful, classic song and mangle it to death by adding all kinds of unnecessary runs and trills and slides and oooohs and aaaaahs. I compare it to having a beautiful silk ball gown. On its own, it's lovely and elegant. But no, that's not enough. These people have to add lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows, and sequins to every square inch of it. Because it's not about the dress. It's about showing off all of their fancy sewing skills.

I fully agree. I hate it when suddenly they start ululating and so. Off the top of my head, I have always connected the practice with Christina Aguilera, but it is quite common. Not just mangling other songs, it seldom adds anything at all to songs with it written in.

Unorganized drawers, closets, etc., not because of what it "looks like" but because when I need to use something, I want to be able to go right to it and get it, without having to spend time rummaging for it.

But people just don't understand that. Here's how it goes:

1.) I work hard to organize the area, carefully sorting everything into categories so I'll know right where it is the next time I need it. Finally I've got it all set up. AAAA in one container. BBBB in the next. Followed by CCCC, then DDDD. You get the picture.
2.) The next time I go to get something I need, I find the containers all BDAC DABB CDCC DAAB again.
3.) Say anything at all, and I get, "Oh, what difference does it make what it looks like in there? Nobody but us ever sees it!"
4.) I explain again for the umpteenth time that the issue is not what it looks like, and I get... total lack of understanding.

There is a regular occurrence, Prius' that move to the left lane and set their cruise control to 54 mph and refuse to move out of that lane. I could scream.
