Pet Peeves v. u mad?

^ i have a Mac here running OSX 10.7.5. i 'right click' on the touchpad by using my index and middle finger together. works great...

and busty, for what it's worth, i don't assume everybody uses windows and a 2-button mouse. it's just easier to say 'right click' than to write a 2-page description of what to do for every user across a spectrum of different platforms and devices.

"all you have to do is right click and choose the correct spelling" is a little more elegant - and gets the point across just as well - as "all you have to do is carry out the appropriate action to activate the spell-checker on your device and choose the correct spelling".

don't like that? sue me :)

I didn't know what 'smh' meant either. I get the reference now. :)

One of my pet peeves would be drivers that tailgate/follow too closely. As the bumpersticker says, if I want you to ride my ass, I'll ask you to pull my hair. Keeping a safe distance between drivers is important. Most people are able to grasp this simple concept; the asshole who plowed my first car into a fiery death in front of a funeral home did not. He was cited for following too closely and that was all. :| It makes me panicked when someone follows me too closely, it is a genuine pet peeve.
 
-they say smh heaps on shoe forums.
-my magic mouse right clicks with one finger just fine.
-i fkn hate tailgaters. i'd slow down if one is up my arse.

i am irrationally peeved at not being instantly and lavishly rewarded at the completion of my study. nothing short of parades, medals and an early retirement will satisfy.
 
You must not know L2R.

Getting switched back and forth between late second shift and early first shift. Really fucks with my sleep schedule.
 
One of my biggest pet peeves... is people who simply cannot chew with their mouths shut. If I don't say something, I have to get up and leave the room. Just chew with your mouth shut, damnit.
 
Yep im with ya on the chewing with mouth open! Drives me insaaaane. My husband does it, and i tell him that he better quit it asap so our son doesn't start thinking that it's ok! Always falls on deaf ears though.

My pet peeve lately is this habit i seem to be in with getting in the shower without making sure i have a towel! I guess because now days i am on much more limited time (squeezing showers in when i can, basically) and nothing is pissing me off more than having to trek through the house in the nude while rapidly losing my nice warm fuzzy refreshed feeling, to becoming cold and irritated in a second!

Dear god there wouldn't be enough court time available if people started suing each other because of disagreeing in the pet peeve thread. I'm not American so the thought would never have crossed my mind ;)

For what it's worth I never think of two finger click as a "right click" because to me it always looks like the tab tumbles down the page. Besides I simple hover the curser at the end of the word and somehow the Mac angels produce a line up of possible correct spellings for me.
 
My pet peeve of the day.... the flush handle on my toilet.... if you dont make sure it goes back up it will just keep running and running and running and now i am paranoid cuz even when it does go back up it takes a while to stop running and that whole time i keep thinking to myself "did i remember to make sure it went back up when i flushed it?" rarrg
 
Ours had a similar issue for a while which was annoying. Ended up the chain that connected the lever to the flapper was just a bit too long. As such sometimes the water flow would pull the chain under the flap, and BOOM. Never ending toilet.

Shortened it up a bit and flushing is a breeze. I very much dislike bathrooms so getting in and out quick is important, lol.
 
People at work who assume drinks, food, etc. in the fridge is fair game for them to take. If you didnt put it there, dont take from there! Geez.
