Attention Mark, your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to name all of your Pet Peeves without sounding like a grumpy old man...(cue mission impossible music)
1) First on my list would have to be crazy drivers! If you are not sure if you qualify for this category or not please refer to my previous post: 10 Ways to know if you are a bad driver.
2) I also find myself completely irked if someone, who is not handicapped, proceeds to park in a handicapped parking spot.
3) Certain redneck phraseologies such as: "ain't got no", "we was going", "my ole lady", and one word faux pas such as "huntin", "fishin", and "campin".
4) Those parents out there, they know who they are, that refer to taking care of their own children as "babysitting".
5) Imitation Monster Trucks! You know the one’s I’m talking about! These are the trucks that you can drive your car under. They are usually old model trucks with huge tires and body parts from several different color vehicles.
6) "Here’s your sign" questions! If you are foolish enough to use one of these questions around me be prepared for my witty retort! My favorite questions are when people call a store to see if they are open. I usually get these calls on Sunday and on certain holidays. My answer to these questions is always the same
Caller: "I was just wondering whether you guys were open today"
Mark: "Nope! I just got bored so I came down here to answer phones!"
Often the caller will respond with "Oh really?" I then have the opportunity to laugh twice!
These are just a few of many Pet Peeves for me. I’m sure I’ll think of more as I go to work later today!

Oh, I hate it when some parents refer to watching their kids as babysitting too. Its called Parenting.
ROTFL! Yep, I love those "You open" calls, too. And the babysitting your own kids thing - bingo!
LOL! I once broke up with a guy because he said "Yous guys" all the time. YOU! YOU! YOu guys! There is no s in you plural! It was like nails on a chalkboard!
You are my hero hon! You know how I feel on the babysitting your kids thing. I love you!
