16 year old tools driving too fast in my nieghborhood when there are kids playing everywhere. Thats pretty Hi on my list.
Kids shouldn't be playing everywhere, more specifically the street. It doesn't take a speeding car to end a kids life.16 year old tools driving too fast in my nieghborhood when there are kids playing everywhere. Thats pretty Hi on my list.
I'm the same way, i dont really like going to sit down type places or eating in front of other people. Especially when im driving, like if i go to get a burger or something i wont stuff my face with fries unless im driving, definetly not when im sitting at the stop light.Another completely unrelated peeve is people watching me eat. You can see their eyes following your food from the plate to your mouth with a look of longing that makes you feel like they are going to reach across the table and swipe your food.

You're seriously going to knock me for contractions? Sorry, I wasn't aware I was writing my thesis here.I could not resist.
To get back on topic:
Driving in a method that is un-courtious of the small percentage of us stick shift owners.
Coming up behind me at a redlight, stoping a normal distance then slowly inching up so there is no room to roll back.
Starting as the light turns green then slowing down and speeding back up.
Driving between the 12 and 14mph range. My car doesnt have a gear for that speed.![]()
This.People that do not take care of their belongings, the worst being Cars. I am a detailer at Lexus, and it pains me to see some of these cars in such rough shape. I will be making a thread on how to properly care for your car (cleaning wise) so I can inform those on AH.

You should do something about that...My own procrastination.
OK......You should do something about that...

Better not look at my car. I live on a gravel/mud driveway, and have only washed the car once since I bought in june.People that do not take care of their belongings, the worst being Cars.

Yeah, the poor english sentence was a little nitpicky. "Using poor english on the internet" is a full sentence; whereas "expecially" adds to it, and technically should be seperated by commas.You're seriously going to knock me for contractions? Sorry, I wasn't aware I was writing my thesis here.
I'll give you the fragment and the implied, but the other two corrections fail. You broke up my sentence about poor English, now it looks like garbage. I could have written in better with a semicolon, but it works. I don't see how the last one is a run-on, considering there isn't a good way to make two independent clauses out of it. Long sentences don't automatically mean run-on.

Seriously! I wouldn't even call it a pet peeve... more like a psychotic hatred.Great thread!! I have a problem with people hovering over me while i eat. Im not a violent person, but i lean that way when people stand/hover over me when i eat.

Are you trying to piss me off, or did you not read my first post?1. People who write checks in the express line of the grocery store. It TOTALLY defeats the puropse!!! Who the hell writes checks for anything other than bills anyore anyway?!?!
2. People that say, "should of" or "would of", instead of "have".
3. People that say, "conversate".
Basically I just hate people.![]()
