The people ahead of you on a flight...walking to the middle of the cabin with two carry-ons

taking what seems like 15 minutes trying to stuff the pos carryons into the upper bins, while oblivious to the 50 people behind waiting to take their seats
 
Failure to understand when to use “it’s” or “its.” I have many writing pet peeves, but I don’t understand why that one is so difficult to grasp.


Grocery-shopping amateurs (too many examples to describe. Perhaps I'm just impatient.).

While your/you're is the most common one that bugs me, affect/effect probably infuriates me the most.

Checks - WHO still writes checks?

Our neighbor either does not believe in or does not understand how to use trash bags. He throws his loose trash into the receptacle, it's always windy in Iowa, the lid blows open and I am constantly picking up his garbage from my yard and landscaping. Even if he comes home and sees his crap all over the yard, he never comes and picks it up.

People who put up fencing but fail to maintain the grass on the outside. When the fence is not on the property line it's the responsibility of the fence owner to take care of the grass on each side.

I have no problems with barking dogs, but when they do it for hours and the owner who is home just ignores it. Especially late at night or early mornings. I always feel bad for those that work nights and have to sleep days and have a dog in the neighborhood that never shuts up.

Well, when you grow up:jimlad: some people HAVE to pay with checks. Certain situations only allow you to (such as mortgage, my bank is that way). But i'm sure you are meaning at the store, gas station, etc.

Yes, I did mean at stores, and what bugs me is when they don't even start writing them until the total is presented.

BTW, I have been paying my mortgage for over 11 years now and have never written a check....:jimlad:

If she looks like that then I don't think he'd mind her clearing her throat as much.
 
I was visiting my Dad and he let me borrow his buick. My fiance and I were driving with some friends behind us. I'm not typically a "Buick Driver", but after a few miles on a two lane road, i looked behind me and noticed a line-up of cars waiting on me in the Buick. i couldn't help but laugh as it was almost as though there was nothing I could do to control the speed of the car.
I honestly don't think i've driven that slow before or since.

My former boss chicken pecked on his keyboard. He was in his early 40s so it's not like he didn't grow up with SOME computers around. He just didn't know or like to type normally. ONE. KEY. AT. A. TIME.

So annoying. When we would have a meeting where he would have to type in some feedback to our HR system I would have to restrain myself from grabbing his keyboard and say "HERE! Let me type it for you so I can get back to doing my actual job!"

PapaLew never learned touch-typing in school. He is a four-fingered typist (index & middle finger on each hand), but dayum, he's fast! And he's a lot faster at typing texts than I am. He hates my ergo keyboard (it's a wave-style).

I'm 30 so I don't have a good excuse but I type the same way. Sometimes the ring fingers and thumbs might get used. I think I'm pretty fast. When you do something wrong long enough, you can get good at it.

I completely understand not being a full on typist, but this guy literally just used his right index finger to type EVERYTHING! Looking up and down at the keyboard for every letter. I don't know how he could possibly fill out all the HR forms or type as many emails as he would need to during a day as a manager of a group of 20 people.
 
When people walk around a store/public place with their phone/Ipod's music playing through the speakers.

I know we're a society built on getting/seeking attention, but this pushes it even further for me.

A. That tinny sound is awful especially in a public place.
B. If you are able own a device like that, you are able to go to aisle 3 and buy ear buds.
 
OH.

The smacking of lips whilst eating.

Even the sound of food being chewed in silence.
