What is your biggest pet peeve? Something that you cannot overlook and gets to you no matter what?
I think one of my biggest peeves are people who can't type. Don't use grammer and replace letter with numbers.
There is nothing wrong with a misspelled word here and there, or missing a word. I know I do it, I have a hard time with grammer and spelling because I am slightly dislexic, but I still make an attempt to write properly.

I am like that with colour. Everything is colour coded in my apt. So I can understand.

I am a very patient person and have been told so by many. The one thing that I can not tolerate it someone smacking thier lips as they eat making all kinds of noise. This means that thier mouth is open with food in it come on how gross is that to see someones chewed food ?

what grates on my nerves are people who take the remote control an just flip channels regardless of anyone else in the room, or people who play loud music so loud you can't hear your self talk or you can hear the music all the way down the street.

Well, one of my biggest pet peeves would have to be perky people. Perky people irk me when I'm half asleep. Perky morning people just grate me the wrong. If I wanted to be a morning person I would be. Just don't force me to being so cheerful when I don't wish to be.

not everyone took typing in school, i didn't so i learned on my own after i got a computer. everyone makes mistakes even if they have been typing for years. one of my pet peeves is people looking down their nose at other people. hope u don't ever make a mistake, heaven forbid.

Not net-speak! not the bloody net-speak! *run away*
Okay, I use some stuff. Like *lol* and what have we. But, I am an avid believer that if you want to get you opinion across. PLEASE, use proper english. Of course, for those who live in another country and English isn't you first language, I can totally fogive you if I have no clue what you are trying to say. But get it in the end any way.
I hate it when I read fan fiction, and the kid (usually 13) can't write worth crap. They have no indents for their paragraphs, the blot wraps up in one paragraph, but somehow the hero always does somethng stupid, and the names are miss-spelled.
AND YET, they have a hundred reviews telling them how bloody cool they are, and here I am actually "flaming" them because their story hurt my eyes.
My gosh, I swear, if you don't believe me, go find a fic at FF.net! you'll understand how having no seperate paragraph indentions can hurt the eyes.

My biggest pet peeve is that i am i bit obsessive compulsive. Things gotta be in order and when it changes it gets me annoyed.
