People who light up a cigarette while standing next to signs that say "NO SMOKING" in big easily visible letters like outside of Hospitals, Schools, or Churches. Then they act offended when they get called out on it.
I agree with EVERY single pet peeve here!Grammar, specifically the improper use of grammar:
"There's, like, only one pack of paper back at the, uh, like printer. We, like, need paper."
"She's preggers!" Or "She's preggo!" as the case may be.
Using text speak in an email. I'd rather you not email me. I don't even use text speak in my texts.
"Oh, your not doing it right." So "not doing it right" belongs to me? Seriously? It must because the correct word is "you're". I see that one all the time. Makes me crazy.
Using the word "seriously". I need to stop doing that.
Using 15 million exclamation marks at the end of a sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Improperly using the ellipsis. I need to stop doing that, too.
Need I continue? (And, BTW, I'm guilty of it as well)
And while I'm thinking about it, people with whiny little brats who don't know how to behave when in public. And the parents let it go because, "Aren't they just sooooo cute?!" No, they're not.
People who drive slowly in the passing lane. Period. At least drive the speed limit, for cryin' out loud. New Yorkers, I'm talking to you! Do us all a favor and stay in your own state, please. It seems that every time I'm driving home from work, I'm in the passing lane and I get behind a New Yorker who must think it's ever so nice to drive ten miles below the speed limit. In the passing lane.
I'll shut up now.
Me too!I must have been on TCS too long because I thought you were talking about cat litter.
Robocalls I agree with, but people spam callers can be fun. I have a blast with those.Spam callers, especially robocalls.
That made me forget one.Millennials who cannot speak normal English or use normal English in written communication like email or an article It's all slang, abbreviations, and using words in other ways with a totally different meaning. Like "woke" as in "Stay woke today". What does that even mean?
As sort-of-a-cashier (Postal clerk), I don't think it's necessary to get chatty with the cashier; most would prefer not to, I think, especially if it's busy. It is annoying if they won't stop talking to the person on their cell phone, but I'm fine with it if they're talking in line and just tell the person to hold on for a second while they sort out their purchases. I don't expect etiquette like they're meeting the queen, lol. But, yes, there is NO reason to be mean and rude to a store clerk! That's just. . .no. They don't have any authority and they're human too. Mistakes may be made. Be nice anyway.Is it so hard to say hi and thank you? Is it so hard to acknowledge them and put your stupid cell phone away?
Nosy neighbors.
I don't even ask, I just shove their cart out of the way.I detest people who are shopping with a cart and talking on a cell phone. They block the aisles and won't offer to move until you poke them and ask them to please move over.
I can't stand to see anybody talk on a cell phone in a grocery store. Do they really think they are so important that they need to talk while shopping? Hang up the phone and get out of the way.I detest people who are shopping with a cart and talking on a cell phone.

Don't be too hard on them. I do this. I shop for my elderly mother and sometimes I'm not sure exactly what type of something she wants, so I call to find out. Sometimes she calls me to add something to the list. And yes, to me, she is more important than someone rushing through the isles.I can't stand to see anybody talk on a cell phone in a grocery store.
