Speaking Pet Peeves...

    What are yours?

    I just saw this one posted on the hockey lock-out and it drives me nuts.

    "Could care less". You clearly mean "Couldn't", unless you are trying to say you care a little, which would just be dumb.

    Also cannot stand "lacksidasical". There is no "S". It is "lackadaisical".

    All of this coming from a Pre Madonna.

    There is a Supervisor where I work that constantly uses Set instead of Sit..."Just have them set there". It makes her sound stupid, well stupider.

    When Justin says, in his head, "I'm going to ban SVF from this thread". I hate that - it's so annoying.

    I don't think I've ever banned you from a thread. So...

    I don't like when people say "umm..." a lot.

    People saying "epic". Good god.
  • Trueblue23
    This was epic! That was epic!

    Also hate when people chew with a mouthful of food.

    Literally and ironic are 2 words everyone uses but about 15% use correctly.

    Agreed. Chewing should only be done with tiny amounts. You should just swallow whole with a mouth full.

    It's backed off a lot, but for a while, a team couldn't lose a game without something being "exposed". 99% of the time, all that was exposed was that the opponent was better.

    people who say "to make a long story short", and then proceed to tell you the whole, loooong story :rolleyes:

    "I seen online the Bears are playing the Packers tonight" -- No you hick dumbass, you SAW they were playing.
  • Automatik
    Not a huge pet peeve, but I'm trying to correct myself with this...

    When someone asks how you are doing you say what? I'm doing good, right?

    I'm doing WELL.

    The silent H is the worst.

    It's not "you"-man race, it's human race.
  • Trueblue23
    I hate when people say "POlice". You're not in NWA, it's Police.
  • Commander of Awesome
    When people use "irregardless".
  • Trueblue23
    The term "reverse racism". When I hear that I assume the person is a moron.
