« on: May 11, 2007, 03:14:00 pm »
What peeves you?  Do you even get peeved?  Does pea colored pee pee get you peeved?
 
 I'll begin:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 People who wear those Bluetooth earphones in their ear all day long, like it's some kind of fashion accessory.

people who walk in the middle of the sidewalk in groups of 2 to 3 people (or more) in NYC and walk INSANELY slow and have to look at everything, not even comprehending that there are people behind them who HAVE to get to places.

Lobot really doesn't get the fashionista cred he deserves...
 
 One of my biggest pet peeves is people who don't obey the driving signs in parking lots.  There's a reason that stop sign and "one way" arrow are there!

Older white women in restaurants. They are usually the most demanding, rude, and demeaning sons-of-bitches on the face of the planet.
 
 Here's a usual chat with their servers:
 
 "You HAVE to tell me what's ON IT!" (using a mean voice)
 
 "Do you or do you not have chocolate syrup?!"
 
 "ARE we clear on what I just ordered?!"
 
 (these are from the past week!!)

 Men who wear check shirts.

People who don't activate their car alarm until they are a kilometer away.

Check shirt's are definitely NOT chick shirts, as in if you wear one you won't attract chicks.

"between you and I"
 
 "we'll share it between the four of us"
 
 "give it back, he gave it to her and I" -- the pronouns are DIFFERENT TENSES, PEOPLE!
 
 "she looks so much like me"
 
 Sorry, I shouldn't harp on the grammatical.  You asked!

At a concert: the person who squeezes in front of you, so they're right in your face, and then gradually backs up to give themselves more elbow room

People who play their ipods so loud on the Metro that everyone can hear it. This happens on about 50% of the Metro rides I'm on. I really want to pass them a note saying, "You have bad taste in music. Please don't share."

Bugs the heck out of me, too.
 
 Apparently there's a name for this phenomenon (of people thinking that "I," "he, "etc." sound more formal and therefore must be correct): hypercorrection, "the process of introducing erroneous forms in an effort to replace seemingly incorrect forms that are really acceptable."
 
 Not only is hypercorrection wrong, it sounds pompous.  At least using "between" where "among" is correct and using "me" where "I" would be correct merely sounds colloquial.
