I do believe that I discussed my major pet peeve in the grammar blog. Therefore, I will instead blog about the peeves that get me otherwise. Although grammatically I also hate people who type without using any punctuation or putting any break in between sentences it gets really annoying to read like this.
I suppose I've developed a major peeve about drunk drivers recently. Working night shift around several bars, we get plenty of drunks coming through every night. Not only are most of them just terribly rude, they typically have no idea what's going on, where they are, or what exactly they're ordering. Worst of all, they're just straight up all driving drunk! The cops don't even care, they'll sit outside our store just to make sure that we're not dealing drugs (hate my job), and let all these drunk drivers roam around town. I suppose that I'm a little touchy about it, having heard so many stories like Katie Flynn's, but still, it's a pretty loathsome thing to do. But really, please don't order food when you're drunk.
But I suppose that's more of an issue than a peeve. A better peeve to write about would probably be people who buy tattered jeans. Admittedly, my sense of fashion is, well, non-existent, but I think it's just a dumb idea to spend money on those. But hey, if you're going to waste money on clothes, better those jeans than crocs.
Lastly, it bothers me when people post depressed-sounding things on (social network site of the year), and then say that they won't say anything about why. It's angsty, it's annoying, and it's just rather boring.
Apparently I get annoyed at a bunch of things. I should relax more.
Your comments are all very reasonable and I agree with a lot of your points. With the first one, I guess I don't really look at other people's punctuation though I like to see to mine. The drunkenness peeve is a very real and commonly shared annoyance that should be taken care of. Why try to fix things after something goes wrong when you can make a difference before someone is killed. Being a guy I just don't have anything to say about the fashion statement but more power to you. I guess it is just better to let it all out than to keep things bottled up inside.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty crazy that drunken driving is such a problem. I once saw a drunk drive almost kill both himself and other people. I will never drive drunk after seeing that.
