this too. i'd like to politely invite any high school english teacher who has a problem with captain kirk's opening jounal entry to kindly stuff it.

grammatical peeve of the day: the effect of a cause affects a person or thing. they are NOT interchangeable.

This one is probably a lost cause. Few people seem to know or care about this distinction. I am in full agreement with you, of course. Further complicating the matter is that "effect" can also be a verb, and "affect" can also be a noun.

What's up with people misspelling "lose" as "loose?"
This makes no sense to me. First, it's an easy word, and second, it's a word that appears frequently in everyday usage.
 
I hate it when I have a wank and when I orgasm it's a complete anticlimax as the orgasm is so shit. It's especially bad when it's taken painfully long to come to the point of cumming as you expect a reward for all your hard work!

Aye hate thuh borg cummin dane hair!

hah! i think this was my first grammatical peeve!

"your" and "you're" is irritating, but somewhat understandable, but i REALLY don't get how anyone can confuse "which" with "witch". i mean, COME ON!!

Alas, the world is full of people who cannot tell which "which" is which.
 
Dear Tourist,

Welcome to Southeast Alaska! Please be aware that some of the people on our scenic byways are local folks. They have to get to work, or an appointment, or to the market. Please refrain from stopping your wide-ass R.V. in the middle of the narrow-ass, 2-lane road to take pictures of the bears, deer, and eagles. Much like you, Dear Tourist, they are all over the place like cockroaches. I'm sure you can find plenty of picture-worthy wildlife at the wide spot 200 yards down the road.

Thank you, and have a nice trip home.
 
When people think its funny to give a stupid name (or one that's obviously not theirs) at a restaurant for their order. When someone has to call out "Jazzy-Po" "Obama" or "Spiderman" etc its not hilarious.
 
i'm going to echo the bad drivers peeve. or better, drivers who fucking don't pay attention and finally, people who become defensive instead of accepting responsibility.

i've witnessed this happen a few times but last night it happened to us. the bf and i were stopped at a red light in the left-hand turn lane. when the lane next to us going straight, turned green, the lady behind us plowed into us. apparently seeing the green light in the OTHER lane initiated some sort of Pavlovian reflex, prompting her to accelerate into our stopped car.

she then proceeded to tell us how "ridiculous" we were for asking for her insurance information... which if you knew my boyfriend, did not go over well :|

I hate it when people come speeding behind you way over the speed limit, making you think they're about to rear end you or some shit, and then ride your ass, like 2 inches from your bumper. Sometimes I just wanna slam my brakes and fuck up their car, mines already a piece of shit anyways. I usually just perpossly drive 10mph under the speed limit to piss them off when they ride my ass, or swerve back and forth like a drunk to scare them so they'll give me some space.

I assume you're a left lane cruiser. It's not your job to police traffic speeds, so just drive in the proper lane for cruising (which is the right lane ALWAYS) and you won't have issues.
 
Comb-overs. Worst hair style ever and no, it does not make you look like you have hair on top - it just draws attention to your shiny head (no not that one).

I hate women with bushy pubes. I mean WTF, do they think it looks good? It's ugly.

I find it annoying when women plaster their faces with makeup. I also hate the fact that so many women are vain and think that they're somehow better than everyone else because they're pretty.

Talking with food on your mouth really get's too me.

Yeah man, I can completely understand that one. I think that's one of THE most annoying things ever. Period. And you know what, I'm going to add onto this "spelling" or "grammatical" peeve...

I can understand people using "u" or "ur" or whatever abbreviations while using a cellphone, ESPECIALLY if for whatever reason, you don't have a keyboard. It's really not that big of a deal, while texting...But...

....If you're using a computer that is fully functional & you're not missing any letter buttons on the keyboard... SPELL YOUR FUCKING WORDS OUT, PLEASE! I mean, really... how hard is it to add "yo" to your fucking "u?" I mean, does it take up THAT much extra time, that you can't afford to do so? Quit being an asshole, and learn how to type properly, you fucking douche....

Another "peeve" of mine that I've encountered recently, is when something IS actually bothering me... and when someone asks I simply tell them "hey man, I'm not really in the mood to talk about it," and for SOME FUCKING REASON, they sit there and repeatedly ask me what's wrong... Come on, man. Chill the fuck out. If I want to talk about it, I will. But until then, please, just STFU and leave me be. You're not helping the situation as much as you think you are. You're actually making it worse...

...So fuck off before I karate chop you in the throat. =D

&& to my buddy, Aok! <3 [it's your homey, Snugg! I just needed a new name]

-Co-workers asking personal questions
-Facebook and text messaging and the impact they've had on socialization/advertising....I love the internet and don't know if I would be able to handle not having a cell phone....but sometimes I just wish we still lived in a world where neither of these things existed:| I don't think it's a coincidence that the(few) most genuine people I've met in the past five years do not/have never used Facebook
I really hope one day in 2042 I sit down to watch VH1's 'I love the 2010s' and listen to a rugged, graspy voiced and over weight Justin Bieber poke fun at how ridiculous the fad of facebook was.
