My pet peeve is when I ask someone a question, I expect an answer (even if it is wait a minute) without having to repeat myself before it gets answered (uh hummm, my DH is guilty of this).
Another one I have, is when people stand in the middle of the isle yaking to one another, say in Walmart etc.. and they see you trying to get around them but WON'T MOVE!!!!!!!

MY PP IS WHEN YOU GO TO A HIGHER CLASS PLACE FOR A DINNER FOR A SPECIAL EVENING AND PEOPLE HAVE SCREAMING KIDS THERE IN THEIR PJ'S. THEY SHOULD BE HOME IN BED NOT IN A ADULT PLACE WITH THE BAR AND DANCING. LIKE A LADY AT THE STORE YELLING AT A 2 YEAR OLD SHOUT UP OR DO YOU WANT TO GO TO BED? DAH AT 11PM YES HE NEEDED BED.
AS FOR QUILTING---HAVING TO RIP MY MISTAKES OUT. I DI IT BUT I HATE THAT RIPPER.. MY FRIEND I TOOK A CLASS AND UP WITH A DIDDY-----SEW SEW RIP RIP RIP SEW SEW RIP RIP RIP

so go ahead and wad up those napkins - keep somebody in a job....
I guess one of my pet peeves is people automatically assuming that all paper products come from beautiful forests being decimated instead of a cash crop....
oh, and after clearcutting (which mostly is NOT done here) replanting is usually done within a month or so - so in another 12 years, there's another crop...

how about ending a sentence with a preposition.
I see that so often that I was wondering if that part of grammar has changed over the years...it's been a mighty long time since I sat in a classroom.
"I and me"
.................where were people when they were taught the difference between a subject and an object of a sentence?

People in the grocery store, big as a Mack truck with a bugy full of ice cream, cookies, Little Debbie Cakes & chips. And they wonder why they are fat. Also no offensive to folks who really need these but people in the motorized chair carts that don't know how to drive & nearly run over you.
