I am new to BA, and was wondering what other Basher's pet peeves :BangHead: are ? I have several...probably too many to list, and I will post mine shortly...just thought I would ask to get the ball rolling!! :toothy12:
"A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that can instill extreme frustration in an individual. Typically each person has several pet peeves that aggravate them more than the average person. Another person may not react as negatively or at all to the same circumstance.
The term originated from the word "peeve". A "peeve," meaning something that is particularly irritating or annoying, is a relatively recent word. Its first printed usage was in 1911. The term is derived, however, from a 14th-century word -- "peevish," meaning ornery or ill-tempered.
The modified term "pet peeve," a uniquely personal irritant, first appeared in print in 1919.
Pet peeves are typically of common occurrences and a person may encounter their pet peeve up to several times a day. An example of this would be someone not using their turn signals while driving. Many people do not use their turn signals, and it does not bother some drivers that people do not. People that have a pet peeve of someone not using their turn signals would become very agitated and upset when they witness the practice. Many pet peeves associated with driving can result in road rage, where the person who has been peeved seeks some sort of retribution for the action.
Often a pet peeve will seem illogical to others. For example a supervisor may have a pet peeve about people leaving the lid on the copier up and get very upset. That same supervisor may witness employees coming into work late, and not react as they did with the copier."

1. People who talk on Cell phones well trying to drive/operate a moving vehicle.
2. People who will NOT leave a message on your voice mail or answering machine.
2. People who will NOT leave a message on your voice mail or answering machine.
I'm going to list just three that came up today:
1) The use of the word "hate" as a noun. "Hatred" is the noun. "Hate" is a verb.
2) The use of the phrase "hate on." As in, "why you gots to be hatin' on a playa." Actually, everything about that sentence is a pet peeve of mine.
3) The words "explicate" and "utilize." The words "explain" and "use" are shorter, more communicative, and don't make you look like a jackass. I make an exception for the mathematical use of the word "explicate."

Nice GoingNova.....perhaps you can drive well you talk on cell phone.....but lots of people definately cannot. BTW I do not own a cell phone.
1) People who stand (or walk very slowly) in the middle of a hallway and talk with large groups of friends, thereby making it impossible for anyone to get by.
2) High pitched screeching sounds, like nails on a chalkboard, styrofoam, or grinding metal.
3) People who play their music so loud I can feel my shoes vibrating, despite being in a different room.
4) Paperwork.

1) People who don't know the difference between the words "their" "they're" and "there".
2) People who are too self-absorbed to realize that no one wants to listen to their crap.
3) People who are inconsiderate of the people around them.
4) People who verb nouns. For example: "He got floored." No. He was knocked down. And you're retarded.

People who smoke right outside the entrance/exit to a building.....if I wanted to inhale cigarette smoke...I would smoke!!
1. people that stand in the middle of an escalator and don't move out of your way even if you say "excuse me".
2. people that congregate and talk in doorways when they could easily more 10 feet to the side and not get in everybody's way.
3. buying a ****in only to find out it is stale.
p.s. i love verbing non-traditional verbs! language is intrinsically fluid, if it was static it would be no fun at all and would hinder creativity. you wouldn't have dialects or anything.
. sorry ski, i needed to say that lol.
