When people who have cell phones with full QWERTY keyboards still use "ur", "u" and "c" and opposed to "you're", "you" and "see" (etc...) I just bought my girlfriend an iPhone and she is doing exactly this! lol
When people use They're, there, and their incorrectly.
Also, there is no such thing as a freaking "iTouch"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could care less about this thread.
Your right. To funny. For all intensive purposes, this thread is over.
Here's a new one.... how about, nearly EVERY SINGLE TIME I PARK MY CAR, there's always somebody who feels like commenting "LOL THATS A BOTE" or "HAHAHAHA I BET IT GETS LOW EMM PEE GEEZ" or "You really shouldn't drive that. Who do you think you are? You're just being wasteful and you should be ashamed."
Really?
For the record, I get at least 8MPG. Besides, all you hybrid drivers out there may feel deliciously smug at the pump, but if we hit each other, you will probably die.
Car in question:
Oh, here's another one! Has anyone ever had a friend who will just constantly pester you if you don't do something instantly?

I hate when jackass drivers weave through traffic, constantly switching lanes without signaling, just to end up next to me at a red light.
Funny (and awesome) story about that...
Last December, my Wife and I were heading to the hospital to visit her ailing father, when this very thing happened. I got so pissed.
I have more peeves but I'm a little drunk and should stop while I still have my dignity.
Oh, then you'd love this one RawBert. I was driving down the interstate when I saw little chick in her BMW coming up very quickly behind me in my rearview mirror, weaving in and out of everyone. I was going almost 80, so she had to be doing near 100. I knew there was a cop two cars up from me. She did not. She blew past me, and weaved right around the cop.
His blue lights immediately turned on and he pulled her over. You could tell she was pissed as she flew across five lanes of traffic in about 3 seconds to pull over. Pure awesome. I almost wanted to stop just to point and laugh at her. But my wife made me keep going.
I have terrible road rage so some of my pet peeves is going to relate with driving. Here goes:
1. Drivers who feel it's not necessary to use a turn signal
2. Truck drivers who'd rather run me off into the shoulder instead of getting in the empty left lane next to them when merging
3. Slow drivers
Just those things alone anger me so much. As for the rest...
4. People who touch my screen to point out something.
5. People who ask if they can see my phone but read my texts instead
6. People who sing along to the music on their iPod when listening to it via headphones
7. Bad grammar.
8. When people can't distinguish the difference between "they're", "their", and "there", as well as "your" and "you're".
9. Homework
That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure there's more.

I hate when I'm on the Forum Spy and I am trying to click a certain thread, but ever time I try to click, another response bumps it down so I end up clicking the wrong thread. It can happen five times in a row sometimes.
When people say like 50 times in a sentence. It aggravates me so much.
People answering the phone only to say they're busy. (Like said before.)
These 4 from ideal.dreams, also:
And this one from Corndog5595:
People texting me "Yah" after I said "Yah." to answer a question.
And this one from NYR99:
Also when people don't use punctuations.

It's probably better for the environment for you to keep that car going than buy a hybrid. Making all of those batteries and shipping them around the world is not eco friendly!
What are some of your crazy pet peeves?
• when the internet hangs and doesn't take you straight to the web page
• when people tug on my clothing
• 4:3 aspect ratio (ESPECIALLY on modern material)
• trying to twist a new deodorant stick up and it won't go because the knob is all "springy"
• when people send the same text again when you haven't had the chance to respond yet
• when people talk about religion/politics at work
• people who continue to CLICK CLICK CLICK while their (windows
• when people make food on the bare counter
• when people don't use "to" and "too" correctly
• jacked up grocery carts (do ANY of them function normally?)
• when people just walk up and take food without asking
• when people comment on food that's not theirs anyway
I could easily name a hundred more. But what are some weird/odd/funny things that just drive-you-crazy.
Oh and people who think that they are moderators when they are not.
Not to mention the strip mining for rare earth metals to go into said batteries!
Still, I'm glad it's not me paying to fill it up
Now, does that just include unnecessary noise? Some foods are noisy to eat, like fresh carrots or celery, and some fresh fruits. A guy at work can't stand that. Drives him nuts, which he is, I think.
One of mine is the opposite: People merging who don't understand they do not have the "right" to select their speed randomly and expect drivers already on the expressway to adjust to them! If you're merging, you do the adjusting.

Classic, Sam. Classic.From my experience here in LA, it's usually people in BMWs and Benzes who do that.
Hey hey I do that all the time on my blackberry. The biggest reason is because of character limitation of a text message. It maxes out at 160 so I will often times shorten words to save space. That and I view SMS as an instant messages so using short hand like those letters is not as big of an issue but the biggest time I use them is if I am bumping the limit of a 160 chars and am trying to save space other wise I type them out.
as for me I hate it when people mess with my computer or the settings on my computer. It is set up exactly how I want it. File are organized the way I want them and while some people hate how it is they do understand their is a logic to it once you understand my system.
But the biggest is DO NOT MESS WITH MY SETTINGS.
No, I mean something along the lines of chewing like you are eating carrots when you are actually eating a turkey sandwich.
