Pet peeves

One of mine - people who write in all caps ALL the time.

People who talk on cell phones while driving.

People who don't signal.

I'm sure I'll have more to add.

One of mine is when someone makes a comment about something they like and someone else instantly puts it down. Also, people who crinkle their chip bags....and people who tail-gait on the road.

My biggest pet peeve: Stupidity.

Example (caution, this is a true story)
I was at the nurses station once reading Shakespeare for a class of mine and one of the nurses came by and asked me why I was reading it. I explained to her that I was reading it for college, so she asked me what I was studying, so I said "Medieval Literature and Old English Literature."

"Oh," she responded as it supposedly clicked in her miniscule mind of hers "You mean like Harry Potter"

You can add tailgating to my list!
