several things

People who are too impatient to wait for you to pass so they whip out in front of you then drive at 10-15 mph below posted speed. If you're in such a hurry that you can't wait a couple seconds for me to pass why the heck can't you at least do the speed limit?

people who ride my bumper. Note to same: I have good brakes and good insurance and I'm not afraid to take a hit if you tick me off enough! done it (good reason though)

people who have no idea how to merge on the freeway

people who cruise in the passing lane at less then posted speed, if people are passing you on the right shouldn't that kind of sink in after a bit?

Yeah.. I hate inconsiderate people..

This goes along with the people who fail to use their turn signals as mentioned above. What really gets me is when I put my turn signal on, and then the a-hole that is well behind me in the lane I am going to switch into takes this as his que to freak'n floor his car and get in front of me, so that I must be behind him.. Then they go slow.. What the hell is that all about?

I've twice had people in cars pull out a little bit from a side street when I am on my motorcycle on a main road.. They pull out looking like they are gonna go right into my lane of traffic and then stop at the last second. In one case it was a young guy with friends, and they were all laughing. In the other case it was some muscle head guy looking for a fight. After he stopped, as I was getting ready to pass by he kept making his car lurch, doing head fakes, etc.. I came up to a light and he got up next to me and asked me if I had a problem.. That is exactly why I won't ever carry a firearm with me when I ride. 'Cause this guy had me so angry at the very least I would have pistol whipped him!

my moments are the ones that if you needed them to save your life... then you would be dead, you know the moments... coiling up a peice of rope, heaps long and it gets stuck on something... anything... and you have to go and unhook it... or power extension cords are the worste.... the other one that gets me.... whenyou put something away in a rush, and it falls out of the cupboard again, so you pick it back up, and yep you guessed it , you miss again!!!!!!....

maybe im just impatient....

peace

People that incorrectly use a word (and do it all the time). Take for instance the word "their". The other possibilities, THERE, THEY'RE.
Also, TO and TOO. There's more, but time is limited.

Isn't the English language fun?

And what about when people use words that don't even exist, like "expecially", and "supposubly", and when they use the phrase "begs the question" without having the first clue as to what it actually means?

The one that gets me is LOSE and LOOSE. Drives me nuts when people use it improperly, and it happens all the time.

Don't get me started on spelling/grammer. That's a serious pet peeve of mine.

How about "instantaneously" instead of "instantly?" Or "ironical?" Or using "anxious" when they mean "eager?"

Steve F · « **Reply #36 on:** November 15, 2006, 06:38:41 am »

Or what about the use of "PREVENTATIVE" instead of "PREVENTIVE"? Even though "preventative" is in the dictionary, it's defined as a "variant of" preventive. What's with the extra syllable?

firecracker · « **Reply #37 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:10:11 am »

Irregardless of the grammer mistakes of others, can't we all just get along?

P.S. Yes, I know. That's why I put the wink in.

How about accept and except........"I am here to except this award"......I see this one all the time. I used to work at a transmission shop where the know-it-all bosses son had posted a sign in the customer waiting area.....No checks excepted.

Poor grammar usage is a pet peeve of mine... I am a writer and I love words. One of the things that really really sends me up the wall is when someone says "I seen him at the store". There is a woman I work with who says this all the time and I have to bite my tongue not to say "You SAW him"... "I SAW him at the store". I don't know why but this really gets under my skin!

::)Thanks for letting me vent....

Taking out your bad day on others, in line, in front of me.
Crack heads
Meth heads
and those who like to file frivolous lawsuits just so someone will care about their miserable situation.
people who feel as though they are owed something
and the people who destroy their relations with family and friends
sorry guys, bad day at the pawn shop.

I'd expect that kind of thing from a northerner

That's not even a Southern accent, seems more like Italian, looks like Breeze thinks it's Italian, too (ay yi yi)
