I agree keriwebb, I dated someone for a very long time and he had shaved everything but his hair and even that was so short that it had that just grown out from shaved look. I thought it was wierd at first.. but I gre to like it. I even picked up a new habit of shaving downstairs from him :) I think most men should at least shave their armpit hairs off. It's so disgusting to me to see a man lift his arm and there is a giant bush of yuck LOL

When people can't read or follow road signs...invariably someone will:
1. want to make a right hand turn from the left hand lane...almost causing an accident by cutting in front off all lanes of traffic (there is a big arrow above the lane...what? can't see that?)
2. see their exit is coming up but there is a line of traffic so they think they can speed up and cut everyone off just so they can get into the exit lane
3. see a sign saying lane ends 1 mile ahead...do they get over at the first opening they see? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, they go up until the lane ends then try to force their way over causing a huge bottleneck...because they aren't the only idiot doing it
4. run a red light almost hitting the person legally entering the intersection (hello! the light is red for a reason)
5. they pass and cut over in front of you close enough that they miss your front bumper by 2 inches...like that one car length would get them where they are going SO much faster
In short, bad drivers are my pet peeve because they put my life at risk.

I can't stand it when people use cliches all the time-and use them wrong!
Here's a couple I've heard lately:
"I'm all 'calm, cool, and collective'"-what? Collective?
or
"I could care less." That means you DO care-whatever it is, it DOES bother you. (Or did you mean you "COULDN'T" care less?)
My boss also used to tell me what she was going to "de-thaw" for dinner. I guess she eats everything frozen. it must be hard on the teeth.

Do you fix it, so that the next person isn't annoyed as you were? Just wondered.

My pet peeve is people who ask for your advise and do the exact opposite, because they're sure you're wrong. Then eventually come to you for advise again.

I can't stand it when people say anywho instead of anyhow!
I hate people who call me and then get a beep and have to answer it. It's like they're saying they have to see if the person calling them is more interesting than me.

People who talk on their cell phones while they are in public restrooms. How rude is that? I wouldn't want to hear those background noises... flushing and all the rest.
Also, people who shove their baby strollers out into traffic without looking first.
