Pet Peeves

Just a few pet peeves of mine.


  • People who pronounce words incorrectly.  
    • This is a really big one for me, and therefore merits a larger explanation.  There is no X in "espresso" or in "escape."  And DAMMIT it's pronounced MA-SCAR-PONE-EH not MAR-SCA-PONE!  The R is placed correctly.  It's Italian.  Mascarpone.  Professional chefs get this wrong and it drives me NUTS.  Moving on...


  • People who talk out of their asses at length about subjects with which they are not familiar.
  • Unqualified people getting hired over qualified people.
  • Children who bite their string cheese instead of stringing it. *shudder*
  • GoGurt.
  • People who suck on pieces of chocolate.  WHY???
  • When cars are parallel parked far apart from each other, but not far enough to make another spot, and you know that if one car had pulled up another foot and a half there would be enough room.
  • Pedestrians.
  • When things are out of balance, or tilted and they should be straight.

There are more.  MANY more that would simply take too long to list.  What are YOUR pet peeves?
