What little thing bugs you?

For me, it's mispronunciations and poor grammar.
:choler:
"This is a picture of my friend and I."
No it's not. Nobody would say "This is a picture of I."
Or
"I could care less."
Well, if you could care less, that means you actually do care.
Or, my favorite, when somebody says "Nook-yoo-lar" instead of nuclear.
:m_spicy:
What's yours?

I had to read that three times....and then think about how I would say it if my friend were not in the picture.

And of course NOW it makes sense.

As I recently posted elsewhere, my pet peeve is when something is referred to as an allergy when it is not. (Either a person does not like something, or may be sensitive to it.)

Jokes are not a part of that pp. my husband (who usually has no sense of humour to speak of) bought himself a shirt that says "Warning: This shirt may contain a nut".

When I go to the grocery store and the cashier asks if I need a bag for my groceries even when it is obvious I have no personal carrier bag and there is at least ten items rang up. Where does she think I am going to stow them.....up me arse?

This one doesn't bug me because I often do the weeks groceries, and just stick it back in the cart to take to the car where I've left all my bags.

Are you I? Am I you?
Those you listed are my pet peeves you just ripped out of my brain!

That guy who drives for about three miles with his turning signal on but doesn't turn. You can't tell me you don't hear that clicking sound! It's just about one of the most annoying sounds on the planet. Either turn or don't, but if you don't turn than turn it off!
But later, you find out that he was just going around the world to the left. (George Carlin joke)

My pet peeve is drivers who aren't me.
They always pull out in front of me, then turn 1/2 mile down the road.
They're always driving WAY too slowly.
They won't get out of the way to let me merge onto the Interstate.
They drive 15 miles under the speed limit on the two-lane road; then when it turns into a four-lane, they go the actual speed limit.
They drive slowly in the fast lane so I have to pass them on the right.
And did I say how slowly they drive????????
