People who- cut me off in traffic without using their turn signals
- leave piss all over the toilet seat
- pull out in front of me, then drive slow on winding, 2 lane roads where passing is dangerous
- abandon puppies in rural areas
- post passive aggressively on facebook
- purposefully breed their dogs to sell "designer" (ex. pomeranian/chihuahua) puppies
- rob people to buy drugs
- leave shopping carts in parking spaces
- have been living in the USA for years but make no effort to learn English
- complain endlessly about paying their ex-wife child support
- ignore the piss/crap their dog left on the floor of Petsmart

My current biggest pet peeve would have to be fruit flies. My little brother left some strawberries out in his room overnight and we are now OVERRUN with them. There's gotta be hundreds of the little fuckers and they're impossible to kill and get into everything. Why are there fruit flies in my bathroom? Why are there fruit flies in my closet? Who fucking knows?

Cyclists.

I mean, if there was separate roads for them, maybe. But one the main roads, with cars. THAT DOG WON'T HUNT MONSIGNOR!

Relax, open a beer.

No, seriously. Open a beer, pour a bit in a recipient (the best is the good ol' plastic bottle trap, just don't do it with too big a bottle). Now you just have to lazily finish that beer while waiting for these fucking flies to be doomed by their beer addiction. Don't forget to get rid of all potential breeding grounds like fruits and veggies in the open if you want this solution to last for more than a couple hours.

Well I wish you'd wash you're hands before as well. I carefully divided that up into "conversation shit" and "throwing shit". I was going to carry the latter pile to the zoo to throw at the monkeys but now it's all mixed together so it's all ruined!

Still tastes nice though. Kudos for that by the way.

My number one pet peeve (Thanks, Cracked and other comedy websites!) is people saying that sugar causes diabetes. It drives me fucking bonkers. Excess sugar does not in itself cause diabetes. Diabetes has been around since ancient times ( you just couldn't treat it-you died back then). Diabetes, in fact, is not a sugar problem but an insulin problem. SO STOP SAYING THAT EATING CAKE, ETC IS CAUSING DIABETES. http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/diabetes-myths/

Plus if that was the case, the cure for it would be.....stop eating/ giving your children sugar. BAM, no more diabetes. Ever.

People who try to be deep on Twitter. I don't mean occasionally tweeting something meaningful, I mean people whose every other (or in bad cases, every) 140-character soundbite is some peice of supposed wisdom. THAT IS NOT WHAT TWITTER IS FOR. Most of them are quotes or paraphrases (whether or not they're attributed) and not the twitterer's 'wisdom' anyway.

-I hate it when things are out of order.
-When I have to connect with facebook to use a website.
-Some of my husband's friends assume I'm stupid or immoral. Mostly because I don't work in IT, I'm younger and I had the audacity to be born in a country other than India. I make light of this but it not only annoys me it also hurts.
-Geographical errors. Whether it's a misspelling or simply placing a country in the wrong region I hate it. I keep it to myself though because I try to always be nice.

So, your husband was born in South America and is in IT? Where were you born? I'm sure his (Indian?) friends will get over their distrust of you in a few decades, so don't worry about it too much.

LOL :).

I was born in Tbilisi, which given the geographic knowledge you've shown above, is totally north of Florida.

It bugs me though because they latch onto any error I make such pronunciation errors or not knowing the exact custom from their exact region when half the time they ask me questions about Ukraine, Russia, and on one occasion Brazil. The final one was both flattering and confusing.

The phrase "pet peeve".

And before anyone jumps in, I'm not too keen on "meta" either.
