What....
Are YOUR pet peeves? Some days, EVERYTHING is mine, but generally:
1. People of both sexes who just pile on the cologne!!! YIKES!! Mom has asthma, and nothing can shut her down quicker than a heavy dose of "eau de olde lady!"
2. Right up there with #1 - People who #1 because they can't be bothered with personal hygiene. Scented water is NOT a substitute for soap and water!!! BO overrides the perfume anyway!!!
3. Women's bathrooms - C'mon people!!! Police yourselves!!!!! Don't be leaving stuff in, on or around the toilet that reminds me someone else has been there!!! EWWWW!
4. Irresponsible pet owners - I don't want to have to hear your cat crying like a baby because "it's an outdoor cat." BS!!!! Only feral cats should be outside cats.
5. Irresponsible parents - Just because I CHOOSE to go to a restaurant that has mac & cheese and chicken nuggets on the menu does NOT mean I want to be entertained by your lil darling running amok and screaming like a banshee!!!! The "no children" section for me, please!!
6. People who drive 55 in the fast lane of the Beltway. Yes, I'm fully aware that it IS the speed limit, but have you seen how QUICKLY these rolling roadblocks screw with traffic???
7. People who can't spell and/or proofread - I spend half my day (or so it seems) reading documents, legal and otherwise. Proofread people!!!!!!!! Yes, and that includes here, too!!! When you post, there's a little box with a check mark and an ABC on it - THAT'S the spellchecker. Granted, we ALL make mistakes!! Go back and read what you wrote - if it doesn't make sense to YOU, it probably won't to anyone else, either!!!! I'm so anal about it that I'll go back and correct even the smallest of errors. And.....while we're at it - YOUR is not the same as YOU'RE, WHERE is not WERE, we're LOSERS, not LOOSERS, IT'S should only be used as a contraction of the words "it is," etc. Unfortunately, spell check only picks up typing errors, it won't pick up if you used the wrong word. I don't think people realize how these errors look to others - job applications, legal documents (O M G!), investigative reports, etc. Come on, it's not that difficult!!!!!
8. Women who apply makeup with a trowel. And badly applied makeup, too!!! ICK!!!! I THINK Queenie blue eye shadow went out with the 80's (thank God!). And..............it is SO a faux pas to match your eye shadow to your outfit!!!! Yesterday, my blouse was yellow and gray and black - my eye shadow did NOT match!!!!!
9. People who think they're superior to others just because of socio-economic differences!!
10. People who DON'T push their shopping carts to the SIDE of the aisle when they need to look for something!! I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, the maximum number of people allowed in the store at one time is NOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I'm done. 
WHAT are YOURS?
And for the love of God, before anyone asks, no, this really wasn't directed at anyone specifically!!!! And of course, if you find any errors, please let me know!!!! LOL!!!

I am so with you on several of these. I have always been the grammar queen. Not so much the typo queen. I know that at times we have a tendency to type quickly enough to occasionally hit the wrong key, but words that shouldn't be in a sentence but that are will quickly drive me insane. I'm definitely with you on the LOOSER. I am no LOOSER than anyone else I know, however I am definitely a Loser! Woot Woot!
I guess we all have pet peeves of some sort.
One of mine that drives me insane is the E-Z Pass lane at the tunnels. There are NO STOP SIGNS. Why in the hell do people stop??? There are posted speed limits and if everyone just drove the speed limit and didn't STOP, tunnel traffic would improve greatly!!!
Unruly Children ANYWHERE! I am a mother of 4. Yes, my children have been quite unruly. Hell I loved to find children who were worse behaved than mine so that I didn't feel like a horrible parent. However, the difference was that if my children became unruly, we left. Most times, they didn't get to go unless they had recently proven to me by their actions and attitudes that they were disciplined enough to go with me.
People who are superior... just because they think they are. Honey let me tell you, I put my fat pants on the same way you put on your skinny-I-think-I'm-better-than-you-pants!
Those who feel the need to either have drama as their top priority or need to be up in someone else's business to learn all the gossip and drama. I live in a Drama-FREE Zone myself. I don't allow anyone else's BS to interfere with my life.
Wow!!! That got me going!
LoL! Great post Tia sweets!
Now I feel like I've either gotten a lot off of my chest, or shown everyone another side of "sweet Ren" LoL!
Have a great day, don't let the peeves drive you insane!!!!
You lady's having a bad day? hee hee
(did that intentional grammar error make you cringe??)
Actually you have nailed some of my peeves. I'm sure there are more, but it will take me a few to think of them.
Oh I know - it irritates the heck out of me when co-workers ask the same stupid questions over and over and over, and they have procedures they could be reviewing!
Major peeve: please CLOSE your mouth when you CHEW! If I wanted to listen to cows chewing their curd I'd go visit a farm.
I also detest people answering the phone when business is being discussed. This includes when I'm a customer or at someone's desk talking work. I don't mind if you excuse yourself, or if you must answer to put the call on hold, but to just pick up and carry on a conversation is just plain RUDE and tells me I'm less important than the caller, even though we're face-to-face.
