Ever have one of those days where all your pet peeves are manifested? For example....A peeve of mine: People using "well" and "good" interchangably...Feel free to list yours and get them off your chest.

I hate it when people use excessive capital letters. I'm pretty sure most people here do...

I greatly dislike when anyone uses 'hate' too often. It is a very powerful word. Most people have forgotten that or been desensitized from over-usage.

Believe me, I can symphasize. It's overused, but in this case, it's accurate.

A peeve of mine: When people pronounce words incorrectly, and then spell them the way they pronounce them.

Well, there are a lot of words that I mispronounce, I'm sure. But I try to spell them correctly.

I don't like it when people "dog-ear" book pages. It just kills the page.

i dont like it when people decide that they wanna look at something you have so they snatch it away without even asking if they can look at it(has happened at school with my drawings to many times now, i nearly murdered this one person who did it and ripped my pic)
But i guess nobody really likes that

Another one of my peeves is when a dictionary uses the same word to define it.

By general consensus, one would revert to Websters, as it was and is THE original dictionary.

Never seen it.

I work at a grocery store, and I hate it when:
- People have totals of like $9.01, and there is no way they can spare that extra penny. So, you have to count out all that change.
- People get up to the register and then decide that they have forgot something. By that time you have already rung up half their items, and you have to wait 30 minutes for them to search the store for whatever they forgot.
- People use a Food Stamp/credit/debit card to pay for a $.99 item.
- People can SEE that you are cleaning your register, but they still plop their groceries down on top of it even though there are two other registers opened!
- And, finally. when the peopple take your pen after they used it to write a check!

Ok, I done for a while.
