When people misuse "plus" and "minus" when reading a mathematical equation.

For instance, "You take 5 and plus it to 5 and get 10." OH MY GOD people, it's "ADD," NOT PLUS!!!!!!

The next one that get me is when drivers pull up to a stop light and they are in a straight, or optional turn lane but insist on waiting in the middle of the lane so NO ONE can pass them on the right to turn while they wait to go straight.

One thing at my house is that as you walk into my back door(which is the only door we use) into the kitchen and then turn right to go into the living room, you better be careful not to trip. My wife comes in and takes off her shoes (usually sandals of flipflops) and just kicks them off to either side of the doorway and most of the time blocking the doorway. The other day I counted 8 pairs of shoes on both sides of the doorway and 7 of them were hers.

As far as the bed being made, I think this last Sunday was the first time it had been made in weeks. And that was because we had our Sunday dinner at our house and her parents came over.

Plus both of us are pretty bad about throwing our clothes and towels on the floor when we change clothes. Our bedroom usually stays messy but I do try to keep the rest of the house clean. My wife only cleans when she has too like when someone is coming over.

I have a roommate who's mostly great, but when I do the dishes, I always take the old dishes that have dried out of the rack and put them away. I don't think she's ever done that, instead she just piles all her dishes on top of the other ones, thus re-soaking them and making that much more for me to put away later when it's my turn again. Sometimes there's this huge pile that's spilling out over onto the counter. Gawd that bugs me.

Although I probably have several pet peeves, I can't think of any right now except lights and other electronic items being left on, this really pisses me off.

Oh, I so feel for a lot of us here...My ex used to just try to get on my last nerve...Here's a typical conversation:
me:What would you like to eat tonight?
her:I don't care, pick somewhere...
me:Ok, McDonald's?
her:Shew, no, we eat there too much. (Well, I've heard this one before.)
me:Ok, Hardee's? (Carl JR's for those of you who ain't from around here, lol)
her:No, I don't like the way their meat tastes.
me:Huddle House?
her:Too expensive.
me:Taco Bell?
her:No, gives me heartburn.
me:Reno's? (steakhouse)
her:No, takes them too long to bring the food.
me:Burger King? Wendy's? (We'll die of starvation before she picks a place!)
her:No, just not in the mood for them. (Imagine that...)
me:You just want to eat at the freakin' gas station?
her:I don't care, just wherever.
me:You obviously DO care, I'm pulling over and we're not moving until you pick!
Then, when we get wherever, she orders chicken tenders. Her only foods groups are pizza and chicken. Dang, just wanted to strangle her sometimes! If I say "wherever", I mean it. I can eat hot dogs from the gas station or shrimp from Red Lobster, I really don't care, I will eat just about anything.
Also, grammar (I know, life is short, but sue me, I learned the language, dang, is it that hard to at least try to learn that apostrophes aren't needed make something plural?)
Also, people being buttholes to little kids. If you are a parent, have some patience, they don't know any better, and screaming at them or grabbing them by their arms and jerking them around isn't going to help anything.
Also, stupidity. I have my moments in this myself, sometimes I am just a straight friggin' idiot, and I don't know where it comes from, but I still get impatient with other adults who do stupid crap over and over.
And talking on the phone, or just bothering me, as mentioned earlier, when I am in the middle of a game or something. Just today, I was all zoned in on my game, in combat, getting blown up, and my friend says "Hey, I found a penny roll, see?" Then, she proceeded to stand there waving it beside me like I called her a liar. I know what a freakin' penny roll looks like, is she so bad off that I have to verify her discovery? This great archeological 'find' doesn't need a panel to substantiate it, but she wasn't satisfied until I looked at it and said "Yeah, that's definitely a penny roll.", at which point, I was blown up by the enemy. It's every time, too, and I don't even play that much, maybe once every two weeks.

ok, here's one from the work file... I hate hypocrits (sp?) there is a lady here that has for the past year tried to get me and a friend of mine fired..I disagreed with something she said and has taken it as a personal attack...well one of her major complaints is that I take too many breaks and up talking for the first hour of the day (abolute BS..up talking?? Im on the internet )...well guess who's been holding a boohoo session at her desk because she's got to rent another apartment...my friend called and asked how is it people can complain and make up lies about people talking for the first hour of their day, but they dont notice themselves doing it...oh, and I hate this lady also...

dinty......here's one more....lets see if this is something else we share:

When the wife rides with me, she'll drop down the visor while she rides. Hey, that's cool, but when she gets out, she doesn't put it back up. I hate that.

Also, if she has a receipt or something like that (basically trash) she will wad it up and put it in my center console cup holder. WTF...it's not a trash can. I dont keep the outside of my truck super clean..I dont have time to wash it everyday. But the interior....that chit is kept super clean. (thank you swiffer)

Oh my gosh... that's a HUGE one in my book. I can't stand leaving the visor down when it's not needed.

I hate people that eat with their mouth open.

I hate ricers with an extreme passion.

I hate glutonous people who weight over 240lbs and all they talk/think about is food.

I hate people that are small but think they can beat up anyone.

I hate "whiggers"
