My top one is the butchery of the English language. The worst one is using "busted" to mean "broken". Even the news anchors are doing it -- talking about a "busted" water main instead of a "broken" water main. It drives me crazy!
The next one is parents who, when you speak to them about their child's behavior in class, yell at me instead of the child. Excuse me, but I am not the one misbehaving!

Children are a biggie with me. I didn't take your kid on to raise, nor do I think he/she is as cute as you do. I definitely don't think he/she is cute when he/she is having a temper tantrum, and I can't for the life of me understand why you do. ("You" meaning the parents! ;) ) Nor do I think they're simply adorable when they backtalk or sass ANY adult.
That being said...intolerance drives me batty. I can't stand to be around people that hate for no justifiable reason.

I guess if I were to add my 2 cents worth on PP's, it would have to be people who "know it all, been everywhere, done everything perfectly of course". I love sharing and I love someone who shares with me in loving ways, not better than thou ways.

dlf- adopt me! I have one of those for a sister and it drives me nuts. :)
Oh- new thing in PA- hope it's not where you are- exiting from the expressway- from the left lane- across three lanes to a right exit- without a turn signal. Once I start breathing again, I want to exit after them and give them a smack upside the head! SCARY!

My biggest pet peeve is not only 'regular' drivers not using turn signals, but our city's POLICE don't use them either. I've lost count of how many times I've seen this.
My other pet peeve is people who litter. They make me nuts. I want to pick up their trash and throw it back into their car...but you never know who has a gun on them and would use it if you did this.
