<rant> The mechanism that automobiles use to stop are called 'brakes', not breaks.

It's the brake pedal, not the break petal. Brake pads, brake rotors, brake fluid, etc.

NOT BREAKS!

I can understand, and completely tolerate typographical errors, and I've made my share of spelling errors.. I've fumble fingered my keyboard enough that I'll only rarely fuss about spelling.

But this is a simple word. Folks have heard this word for a long, long time. It's not a new word in the English language. It's spelled out for you in your owner's manual, and in the maintenance schedule. BRAKES, not BREAKS.

We now return ScionSpouse to his normal, mild mannered self.
</rant>

good! Thanks for that.
Say, mabe best to put the words "breaks failure!" in your subject header to get the kids to look here.

Homonym spellings. What can we really do? Not much!
Those are the brakes.

ha

Phbbbbt!

one of mine is people who type "pls" or "plz" for please..if you do it more power to you....

but my thinking is if you cannot even spend a tenth of a second longer and type PLEASE then why should I help you? lol

or people who always have to make nicknames...even if the name is already small. There is a member of my family, who I adore ...but they have a lil boy his name is Kyle. It is a 4 letter name ..and they call him "Ky". WTF????? Geez its a 4 letter name!!

My name is Michael so of course I often get called Mike or Mikey...but if your name is 3 or 4 letters already.....why the hell would you try and shorten it????

Off-topic ...I worked with a guy named Ed once, he was a salesmen....he actually once had someone ask him on the phone ..."so Ed how do you spell your name?" ..he replied.."Ed...e-d" :rofl:

people throwing ciggarette butts out of cars. especially if a friend does it out of mind., i get LIVID.

speeders going to church i past one chick in a mini van i had to 80mph in a 45 :roll: just to get in front of her just to slow her down why do ppl speed just to goto church wtf!!!

so whats the rush

Minivan drivers scare the poop out of me.

Another common forum misspelling....Quiet -> Quite

"I like a quite exhaust"
"Are there any quite headers?"

Come on guys, it's Q..U..I..E..T

It seems like the most common grammar mistake I come accross on any message board is the misuse of "There" "Their" & "They're." Also, people really seem to enjoy spelling "a lot" as one word.

I will honestly admit I am bad with the whole "their there and they're" thing lol.

And guilty of "alot"...I thought way back when...alot was actually recognized as a word ...I could be wrong and likely am of course.

I hated grammar overall, but do a lot of reading and the reading helps me stay somewhat sharp on things.

your/ you're

your not going to work on you're car again, are you?

*headdesk*

One more, while I'm at it.

<---- No one has commented on my cool pic!

deep sea wet suit :P

You got the deep sea correct, but it's a dry suit, made of rubberized canvas.

That's the mixed gas rig, too. 297 lbs all total.

and that's me inside!

dang you have to be some sort of a muscle man to lug that 297 suit around WOW

I HaTe It WhEn PeOpLe TyPe LiKe ThIs!
-that is not cool!

NeIthEr iZ WrItInG LyKe DiS 0r th!$.
-It doesnt make you look "Ko0L" either! Its stupid!

--Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i hate it when people on the internet throw up gang signs.
(F.Y.I. actual gangsters, Pimps or Thugs don't post on internet forums!!! )

And my "My Space Pet peeves" (For ya'll My Spacers)

-Tom isn't going to delete you.
-You're not going to die if you dont repost a damn bulletin.
-Your crush isn't going to notice you.
-Something good will definately NOT happen to you.
-The only thing stupid chain letters do is slow things down and cause Tom to have to put the site down for Maintance.

-So stop it!

lol myspace I am guilty of doing the bulletins...only now and then.

as for thIs kINd oF TyPinG..

I thought that got old like in the early 90's and such....I cant stand that either!!! Why do people even do it??? It looks totally stupid.


OK folks....this is a major pet peeve, and if you do it....no offense.

-- People who wear hats sideways/funky angles...W T F??? What kind of complete moron started this crap??? It looks totally stupid as hell, my only guess is that someone saw someone famous do it and thought....WOW...that looks dumb but I will do it too! Is there anyone that can HONESTLY say that looks good??????

I have asked various girls if they think it looks good...and every single girl I ask honestly says no it looks stupid as hell. (4 out of 4 so far)

^^^ YOu'vE got Alot of InterEsting commetns.....sorry bout the type style :eyebrow:

:tap: My pinky has a nerve problem and it twitchs to the bottom left and right sometimEs

And as far as thugs online, where else do thugs retire to after they aren't in the teenage I'm better than anyone on the streets son phase. :nope: The Internet! :come: :come: :come: Who want bum bum clot come test me? :come: :come:

I thought I could post some pet peeves, this looks like its only online spelling peeves............

My pet peeve's r two real life ones?
1. When people have their collars folded down, but its up in the back or on one side and they don't notice it, I get upset at everyone for not mentioning it to them that passes, so I just go up and fix this on anyone I see, whether I know them or not, cause sorry lazy other f&cKers wont!
2. Is when you are just walking around in socks then you step in some water on the floor..... :doh: :doh: ohhhhhhhh (feel me anyone?)

hey hey hey. is wearing your hat like high up stupid? or what about backwards?

i agree about teh wearing it to the side. dumb as fark.

I hate annoying people, old people, out of towners, slow people, semi trucks, vikings, weather, xb, xa, ugly people, reptiles, wannabes, etc etc etc.

once you're in the water, it's not bad. While you're being dressed in the suit (you can't get in or out by yourself), they suspend the helmet from a hook, taking most of the 200 lbs of helmet and weight belt weight off your shoulders.

Once the suit is all buttoned up, you've got to stand up (your tenders will help make sure you don't fall) and walk over to the lifting stage, and stand there while the stage is lifted up then into the water.

After the dive is over, you get lifted out of the water, and back onto the deck of the ship, and your tenders get you out of the suit. They try to do that as quickly as possible, as there is one type of decompression that allows for three minutes to get the diver out of the suit and into a re-compression chamber.

I was once yanked out of the suit in 1 minute 8 seconds.

Oh, yeah, did I mention that this is on the deck of an anchored ship?

And my "My Space Pet peeves" (For ya'll My Spacers)

-Tom isn't going to delete you.
-You're not going to die if you dont repost a damn bulletin.
-Your crush isn't going to notice you.
-Something good will definately NOT happen to you.
-The only thing stupid chain letters do is slow things down and cause Tom to have to put the site down for Maintance.

-So stop it!

haha i feel you on that one! lol i never respond to the bulletins.



(p.s. my page is www.myspace.com/davedavetc if anyone wants to add me 8) )

dang you have to be some sort of a muscle man to lug that 297 suit around WOW
on land yeah....but it was designed for outer space....



before you say it....

I hate annoying old vikings

"back in my day, we had to walk 5 miles in the snow to pillage a norse village! you kids nowadays...."

i hate them too.

People that break hard because you are following too close. Hmmm, someone's very close to me, should I A) speed up, thereby increasing the distance between us that is worrying me, or B) throw on my brakes, thus eliminating the buffer space that seems already too small????

People that brake up hill, then immediately jump back on the gas. (It's OK to not have your foot on either pedal, just let it roll.

I second Darren's complaint about the cig butts, but not just in the car. I see it all the time. When I see it in the City, I try to mention what a beautiful ashtray they've turned it into. And especially when it's dry as a bone here in Cali during fire season and peeps still don't care. :flame: I've got about 8-10 pics of people I've seen throwing their butt's outta the car. One is even a quicktime vid and you can see the butt bouncing. It's so obvious the smokers that are like that...

Another annoying unword, not a typo, is bumber. Bump for bumber issues...

And as much of a techie as I am, I just hate those bluetooth headsets. Those, combined with people's lack of common sense as to when it is OK/not OK to talk on the phone really annoy me. Some people are so advanced in their communications that they have lost the ability to communicate with the people right in front of them. Plus, they look like they have been assimilated by the BORG...

My favorite peeve that I resolved recently was the Auto setting on the dryer. My wife would never use it and when I would try to help with the laundry, the stuff would still be wet and have to dry longer and I'd get ____ed and not want to come back again and again. I took the blue masking tape and covered all the other markings on the control dial so now the only part you can see is the Auto setting with a line drawn in the center. I haven't had to restart a load since that. I grin every time I see it. Now if can just figure out how to straighten her out on the dishwasher... but that's a much bigger task...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

thought of another one...this one is not very bad overall but just bringing it up.

I do not like when people say "act your age" - I do not act, I just be myself.

Acting is fake, to me the whole phrase is fake and funny as hell. I used to hate when adults would tell me that as a child or teen.

I like to think outside the box I guess.

Be yourself! Don't act!

Here's one of mine:
Why is it that by noon, my $60 Cologne has lost all of it's smell, but my $2.50 deodorant still has it's scent like 10 hours later? :tap:

Oh, and my biggest pet peeve of all:
When I'm talking on the phone to someone, and you happen to be in the room with me, DON'T STAND THERE AND TRY TO TALK TO ME UNTIL I FINISH MY CALL!!!

I hate annoying people, old people, out of towners, slow people, semi trucks, vikings, weather, xb, xa, ugly people, reptiles, wannabes, etc etc etc.
What's that? Speak up...I couldn't hear you over the squeeks and rattles coming from your Sunroof and rear hatch. :P

Here is another pet peeve of mine in the past few years. Everyone's fascination of Pirates and Ninjas. I'm not talking about people who actually do Karate, I mean people like my roommate in college who tried to get me to take part in "National talk like a pirate day." I almost hit him in the face for that. It's really not funny anymore people.

Oh yeah, I also hate bathrooms with up close and personal mirrors that force you to watch yourself s**t.

traffic jam when you're already late, a no smoking sign on your cigarette break, it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife....alright alanis morrisette sucks.

pet peeves: fake or pretentious people. long lines. f*cking teenagers that talk and act like they're retarded in the middle of the theater during a movie. i agree with FRO, what's with all that pretentious pirate/ninja bullsh*t. rude people just plain suck, nothing annoying there. I agree with PrettyNiceB, stepping in some water with socks on blows. people that honk excessively. shoppers the day after thanksgiving. christmas gets on my nerves, any holiday in december does for that matter. asking a pretty girl for a cigarette and then she has a sour attitude, it's like just give me a damn cigarette i dont give a f*ck you're a piece of sh*t slut, i aint trying to bone you. the employees at starbucks, way too annoying. when you notice somebody copy you or your idea. people that make excuses. people that try too hard. mormons. atheists. liberals. conservatives. asian kids tha act black. white kids that act black. black kids that act too black. black kids that act white. mullets suck. the late night crowd at denny's. your mom. the employees at best buy. mustangs. lil kids wearing oakleys. lil kids at restaurants trying to beat the last level on their newest gameboy and then having their mom scream at them to put that thing away before it gets taken away. people that wear a million gold chains around their neck, yeah mr. t looked dumb back then and so do you. kids that throw snowballs or waterballoons at passing cars, yeah i know i did it too when i was young, but it's pretty damn annoying. when a semi racist guy tries to talk to you about affirmative action or his daddy's conferderate flag in his living room. thieves, cheaters, scammers, etc. people that talk out their ___ constantly. mcdonalds. that annoying rattle coming from somewhere in your tC. the guys that fill up your gas for you in oregon. cops that tail you for 4 blocks then turn off suddenly or make a u turn. LOTR trilogy. Matrix Trilogy. any type of tilogy. japan giving us sh*t for cars. people that ask to borrow money. people that laugh like hyennas cause apparently to them if you dont laugh every 2 mins you cease to exist. all the news channels. when you buy a slurpee at 7-11 and take 2 sips of it and its half gone already. sales people of any kind. car dealerships. jury duty. paying for parking. when someone yells at you to wake up, when all it takes for a person to wake up is a gentle nudge. when you get a haircut and someone's asks "hey did you get a haircut?" Yes i did stupid sh.it. the guys at autozone that claim you get 5 extra hp if you buy the set of bosch platinum +4 spark plugs. techno music. mean people suck. nice people swallow. have a happy f*cking holiday everybody.

^^^I think somebody needs a hug. :P ^^^

lol

I can't stand people who don't use blinkers, ESPECIALLY the ones who dart in front of you in traffic with no prior notice, scary. I have lots of problems with people who don't know when to switch their brights off, like when they are behind me or in front of me....

Door-to-door salesmen: In this day and age, do we really need to be wasting time going door to door? We have pop-ups for products when we surf the net, spam when we check our email, flyers in the mail, TV commercials, radio ads, billboards, and unsolicited phone calls. Is there a need for someone to come to your house and bother you? I think not.

Driers and missing socks. I used to think it was just an old wives tale, till all my damn socks went missing!

Beliefs: I think everyone should have the right to have their own beliefs, and they need to be able to. That being said, they are YOUR beliefs, you keep them. You have the right to your beliefs, and I have the right to not care about them...simple as that. Don't push your ideas on me, because you won't give me a second to tell you mine anyways.

Celebrities: I know this has got to be something that started recently. With all these magazines about celebrities and their lifestyles, and that nonsense, we know way too much about these people's lives. Who really cares if Nick and Jessica call it quits? Not I. As a matter of fact, I think the reason news organizations are so bad (as someone pointed out earlier) is that we waste all of our time worrying about these people. OMG so-and-so had a BABY!! So what? Hundreds of thousands of children are born every day on this planet, why do we need to hear about one person’s child. Seems like we as a nation, have too many false prophets.

Talking down about Scions..... That has got to be the worst one.
:)

Celebrities & famous people, atheletes....I agree 100%

I cannot stand that either. What is funny as well is when someone asks you if you heard about what so and so did...or that so and so had a baby...and you say "I dont really care" and they are almost shocked you do not follow it!!

:)

My theory is that this has replaced the neighborhood gossip because nobody has time to talk to their neighbors these days...

:clap:

The worst is when these celebrities, who are usually only famous because they look good, play games well or make music, suddenly think we care about their political views. Sing and dance, entertain me like the organ grinders monkey and then STFU and go away...

Damn, for a thread that seemed like healthy venting, i'm suddenly getting all riled up!!! hahaha...

all i see is http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/hornet_on_the_flower/smily%20faces/13.gifhttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/hornet_on_the_flower/smily%20faces/13.gifhttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b156/hornet_on_the_flower/smily%20faces/13.gif :rofl: :silly:

I HATE GUYS THAT DO NOT USE THE URINAL!!! INSTEAD THEY USE THE STALL AND PEE ALL OVER THE SEAT! THEY ARE TOO AFFRAID PEOPLE WILL NOTICE THEIR TINY PEE-PEE!

So please use the urinal.. use the stall when you really have to sh1t lol.

I hate people who say " I could care less". IF you you could.. then please care less. It is suppose to be " I could'nt care less".

I hate people who say " I SEEN THAT BEFORE"... grammar people!

I can't stand rude co-workers. I work with someone who chews gum constantly. I was on the phone with a customer and she walks up next to me while I'm talking on the phone. All I hear is her popping bubbles and that annoying sound of chewing her gum without her mouth closed.

One that always kills my buzz when I'm trying to get home: people will be rushing down the escalator right in front of me and then when they see its not their BART train, they just stop rushing and I'm like Hey, you may not want that train but I do...

or when you scramble and run past people to make it in the train before the doors close and then the train just sits there or the opposite when I'll think, cool, I'm gonna make it and then the doors start closing in front of you and you have to scramble again. And the BART doors don't re-open like elevator doors, they close down tight. You've got to give them a big ol' shove and then it slams and has to reset the doors.

It's extra frustrating cuz I'm just 10 minutes away from getting to drive my Box again and the excitement starts to build...

I HATE GUYS THAT DO NOT USE THE URINAL!!! INSTEAD THEY USE THE STALL AND PEE ALL OVER THE SEAT! THEY ARE TOO AFFRAID PEOPLE WILL NOTICE THEIR TINY PEE-PEE!

So please use the urinal.. use the stall when you really have to sh1t lol.

no its not that i have a shy blader/kidneys and its sucks huge dingle berrys!!! and i do raise the stupid seat too

and i really hate it when ppl complain about it and no do any thing to improve things

i think the drivers of the WAAAbulance is getting paid triple over time on top of there union pay and i'm that driving and i get paid nothin WTF

lol the urinal thing, I have a bladder the size of a dime...so I go the the restroom often and I am one of those guys that will keep going...and going...and going...I just go wherever there is room normally.

I put the seat up though, I hate people who ____ all over the place...kinda makes ya wonder what the hell is going on when they are in there. If ya dont like to touch things...grab a papertowel with you and use that to lift the seat.

OH...pet peeve...heard this today.....

People who talk on a cell phone in a public bathroom!! EEEEEW! The amount of germs in a public bathroom where most people do not wash their hands....and your gonna touch things and put your phone next to your mouth/ears??? EEEWWW!! Friggin sick lol if you cant even wait to answer a call till your out of the bathroom...you got problems.

edit: i do not always wash my hands, I keep hand sanitizer at my desk. I figure most guys do not wash hands...so even if i wash mine i still get those germs off the door handle on the way out anyway so hand sanitizer at my desk makes me feel better.

And for those of you who may say oh like its that big of a deal, I almost NEVER get sick. :silly:

You might as well go lick the toilet seat! Worse is the guy trying to hold the phone and ____ in the urinal at the same time....WTF?? Are you that busy or hurting for a chat you cant wait till you have drained the lizard???

this thread is a pet peeve!

I HATE GUYS THAT DO NOT USE THE URINAL!!! INSTEAD THEY USE THE STALL AND PEE ALL OVER THE SEAT! THEY ARE TOO AFFRAID PEOPLE WILL NOTICE THEIR TINY PEE-PEE!

So please use the urinal.. use the stall when you really have to sh1t lol.

true that! who cares how big or little you are, its not like we can really change that. the only thing we can change is if we want to decorate it with metal! lol

but one of my petpeeves since i work in the food industry is the people who talk on there phone in the drive through. like for instance tonight i took this ladies order and went to tell her the total and she told me to hold on! so i went in the back waited a few minutes, looked back at her and then sat back down, and she had the nerve to get mad at me cause i was sitting down and not taking her money. i hate people with a pasion when they do that. its very rude and i know that working in food isnt the most glamorous but you also gotta start somewhere at one point. you dont have to be rude to the workers. there is a movie out there, cant remember the name but there is a good qoute, i think it goes, never mess with somebody that makes your food! have a nice day!

I have one to add. I spent 2 hours yesterday wrapping xmas presents, and it really ticks me off that everything comes in a weird shaped box. What happened to squares and rectangles??
Toys in Funky plastic packages. It also makes me mad that you need a hacksaw to open those plastic packages. And then you have to undo 43 twist ties just to get the object out, only to discover it needs batteries. Which you spend an hour looking for, and it turns out you dont have any, so you take them out of the remote. And you probably need a screwdriver to remove the cover to put the batteries in. And you cant find one of those either so you use a butter knife.

And then xmas is over with, and all you want to do is sit down, relax and watch tv, and the stupid remote doesnt work!!

LOL

misalligned head lights.
There is always one shooting you right in the eyes like a high beam even after you flip your mirror.

tail gater. Just because I have a small car doesn't mean that you need to get closer than 5 feet in any traffic situation.
Last night we were on the way home I5N and I kept having cars behind me brake less than 2 feet from my bumper... repeatedly... for at least 15 minutes... the first guy that did it I could see his psycho looking self CLEARLY with my mirror, at night, in the dark, and I have TINTED windows.

-People who don't signal before turning/merging lanes.
-Fat girls in tight hoe pants. Get the right size.
-When I wash my car and then all of my friends get in and get their fcking hands all over the windows and I have to windex again, and just dirty windows in general.
-Stop and go traffic with pockets where it moves normally and gets your hopes up.
-When my friends (who all live across town) call me up five minutes before I'm about to get ready to go to the movies with them and ask for a ride and then DON'T PAY FOR MY FCKING GAS.
-People who ask stupid questions in class. Yes, there are such things as stupid questions...so whoever that was going to make that comeback, you can stfu now.

but most of all....

When I tell people that I don't like feet, and they think it's absolutely hilarious to shove their nasty ___ sweaty stinkers in my face continuously and then get mad when I tell them that if they do it again, they're gonna get smacked. I JUST TOLD YOU THAT IS MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE, OF COURSE I'M GOING TO GET MAD YOU FCKING IDIOT!

I know I probably sound like a complete heinous btch right now...but after reading everyone else's pet peeves, on top of having studied for hours on end...I'm getting all kinds of riled up.

I put the seat up though, I hate people who ____ all over the place...kinda makes ya wonder what the hell is going on when they are in there. If ya dont like to touch things...grab a papertowel with you and use that to lift the seat.

To add to my rant above: When I go into the women's restroom and there's ____ all over the seat. WTF ARE YOU DOING? THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. NIL, NADA, ZILCH.

Holy thread bump! I was just on the topic of this, so here's mine:

When driving, people who:

1. Drive slow in the fast (1st) lane. Then when they know you want to get by them, they drive slower or don't pull over and let you by. I never do this to people, because I am not the police and don't dictate to others how fast they can or can't drive. If someone wants to speed, then that is their decision. I dunno, maybe I am just a courteous driver and don't drive like I'm the only one on the road.

Also, here it is illegal to drive in the fast lane on a highway, unless you are passing someone. It is also a courtesy on the road to let others by you.

2. Drive in the center turn lane.

4. Think others should slow down to let them in to traffic, instead of waiting to enter when safe.

5. Tailgate and ride their brakes

Also people who:

1. Blame everyone else for their mistakes.

2. Talk loud during a movie, or don't whisper in the theatre.

3. Cough or sneeze in public, and don't cover their mouths

4. Use the word "like" to begin a sentence, and "whatever" to end it.

5. Who can't say a complete sentence without the word "f-ck".

6. Are lazy or half-a$$ at work, all the time

7. Are smelly

8. When there's no soap in a public restroom, I HATE THAT!

9. PUBLIC RESTROOMS!

Not being able to pay with my debit card @ places because the bill isn't over a certain amount :no: even more when the person behind the counter is tarded and doesn't just "do it this one time for you." :yawn: Whateva
