I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

I am glad that someone adopted those pet peeves, otherwise they might be euthanized or something.

HOLY CARP!!!

No kidding!! The worst one is from our beloved Revenue Canada, that I have to deal with monthly (payroll source deductions) The little, barely visible line of non holes is right up against a section with important figures, so if you don't get it right, a. it doesn't fit in the envelope, and/or b. you have to scotch tape little bits back together so the numbers are legible. |

It was YOU! I always felt that it was better to sit and wait for someone to leave than to just keep circling around and around trying to find a place. Like Aqua, if I'm leaving I'll sometimes motion to someone to have my spot or if I see there is a spot at the end of an aisle I'll point a person down to it. One of my pet peeves is someone that gets into their car and proceeds to futz around with something (balancing their checkbook, mayhap?) before they finally get going. I admit I shouldn't get frustrated - it's their space until they are done with it and they are going to have to do their futzing somewhere - probably better while they are stopped and before they forget something. Anyway, I always try to be quick as I'm leaving. The worst thing is loading the trunk at Costco (sometimes this takes a few minutes) and then realizing someone has been waiting. Then I have to give them an apologetic shrug as I head back to the food court for a hot dog.

A pet peeve of mine is people that just don't care what you think. As if what they think is so much more important it supersedes anything that you could think.

Better to be a futzer than a putzer, eh? |

My pet peeve is Austin Powers. When Mr. Bigglesworth takes his pee, I think of Austin Powers. |
| I'm going to get you Austin Powers!! | |
