Someone asks me a question, I answer it, and they respond, "Oh really?"

No, I lied you dumb sob.

Place names with the same spelling have different pronunciation depending on the region. Always have--always will.

Nevada, Missouri (1849) existed before the state of Nevada (1864). Does anyone bitch that they pronounce the state "wrong"?

Nothing grates on my nerves more than someone using "Pacific" in the place of "Specific".

The 2nd definition is a modern construct...and not accurate (much like irregardless now being in the dictionary).

Fortuitous just means by chance. It does not mean fortunate, despite the fact that they sound the same.

I got into an argument with my commander... (not the smartest thing I have ever done) and after I conveyed one of my thoughts.... that ****er, who has a ****ing doctorate actually ****ing said "Well that is a MUTE point".. I just sat there with a befuddled look on my face. I wanted to stand up and say listen, you ****ing stupid piece of shit, do you have a remote that turns down the volume of my points. It's ****ing moot you ............ ugh.. sorry about the hostility but this person is supposed to lead me.

I've noticed that I've been saying one lately that annoys even me...and I can't stop myself from saying.

Someone will do something or say something...and I follow up with "I was going to say.........".

Bullshit Mr. Plow. You fuggin' lying ass mutha fugger....YOU ARE SAYING IT, so why is it "I was going to say....." Idiot.

You guys are missing the most frequent annoyers: "LIKE" and "GO"

So, like, she goes "No way!" and he goes "WAY!". It was like, so annoying so I go "blah, blah, blah..."

It's like driving me crazy.

People talking about their pet peeves or even using the term pet peeve is a pet peeve of mine. How the **** did those two words get put together?
