Today, I'm learning I have more pet peeves that I thought. After I got married, I was selling an old camper we had. Had a little damage to it and I was only asking $1,000. A guy that worked for the sheriff's office overheard and asked if he could go look at it. I gave him the address, he called me after and said he wanted it. Asked me what time he could swing by Saturday morning to get it. I told him 7am as my wife and I wanted to run some errands.

fricker didn't show up until 2pm. His cell phone didn't even ring when I called and it just said "the subscriber you're trying to reach has a voicemail that has not been set up yet"

Yeah, that's annoying. It also seems like they wilfully overcomplicate their writing with all sorts of subordinate clauses and shite. We're talking about some dynamic positioning quote for a boat or whatever, and they're going full-blown G.K. Chesterton run-on sentence with me.

I'm pretty sure Chesterton was joking around. They should know that. He was British, too.

I’m afraid this one is becoming more commonplace in the US as well. Most people have no clue that their subject is singular.

Example: “The couple” is singular, not plural. Most will think couple is plural since two people are in it.

Going straight and getting stopped by a red light. Wait your turn, then turns green and you go only to be fricking stopped by the next light 100 yards away that just turned red.

Baton Rouge is the worst for this.

I hate it when someone says something in jest, me or someone else plays along and returns the jest, and the original person thinks the reply was serious.

If you can't open a produce bag, you're too retarded to be shopping alone.

Restroom at work two urinals and two stalls. If someone is one that f the stalls I'll walk out even if I shite my pants. Conversely, if I'm in a stall and someone bursts in and takes a seat, it drives me insane. Sitting there in silence almost toe to toe.........

Not just there. All the "smart lights" here make dumb arse decisions, there could be a ton of cars coming on the main road and the smart arse light gets tripped by one car on the side road, who happens to be turning right anyway. Pisses me off.

The word literally used out of context. Most people don't even know what the word means but they use it 20 times a day.
