13 Pet Peeves I have:
1) Houses and stores that decorate and play Christmas music before Thanksgiving!! Don't skip a holiday period. Plus you make Christmas anti-climatic if you celebrate for 2 months!
2) People who jump in line esp. when you've been waiting for a while
3) People who leave their blinker on forever after they have turned
4) People who are late when you are waiting for them
5) People who walk in the middle of the aisle in the parking lot when you are trying to go down.
6) People who don't turn right on red.
7) People who stop in the middle of an aisle in the store to have a conversation and block the whole aisle
8) Email forwards---don't send them to me please
9) When people who hit the wrong button and reply to everyone on a listserv when they only meant to send it to one person
10) Students who say it was an accident when I know they did it on purpose (most of the time I catch them in the act and they deny it)
11) People use apostrophes incorrectly as well as homophones esp. there, their, and they're
12) People who make judgements based on someone else's opinion rather than forming their own
13) People who don't return phone calls in the allotted time they said they would
Ok so I realize this is a lot...and I realize that many of them are due to a lack of patience on my part. I just thought I would share. :)

I have some of the same pet peeves! Have a nice day!
When people don't turn right on red, you should politely use your horn; that's what its for.
Okay, I se'cond a'll of them :)!
OH my goodness! I am not the only one who gets irritated with homophone abuse! It is really not that hard people! =)
I am afraid to be your friend now.
