some people keep asking the things we don't want to tell him. i think people should pay more attn on themselves not others. if people do want to share things with you, accept it. if don't, you just walk away. it's not a big deal.

A little from column A and a little from column B 

No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

My biggest pet peeve is when people say "I" instead of "me".

Notice, I didn't say when people say "me" instead of "I".  Certainly not.  Saying, "Him and me went to Vegas last week," shows that you aren't even trying to pay attention to grammar.  But when someone says, "Yesterday afternoon the president gave a medal to he and I," the speaker is trying to be impressively correct but instead makes all the linguophiles cringe.

boy I'm in a good mood today And I have a lot of pet peeves, I can't choose one.

 

drug addicts that go around bragging about it and telling people that they do drugs because they think its cool

smokers who purposely cough in your face...I later laugh because they'll die of cancer sooner or later

friends who post pictures on myspace/facebook of themselves drunk and doing really stupid things

whistling...I hate whistling :| Hurts my ears

Grammar/Spelling zealots that need to correct every mistake in a post.

I would also go with the one who can't type write and use instead of lol..."lawl" ...u and r and plz don't bother me...but a mangled up version of lol is annoying and I usually just skip over the post.

when someone uses retarted instead of retarded...goes to show pot meets kettle

SOE

Funcom

EA

when you sign up for a game, don't play for a while and they don't email you once or twice but email you every day for the past 3 months saying "come back we miss you" (and on time, just checked my junk mail and there it was)

ex g/fs that call you at 7 am and 8 am every day for 3 months until you are forced to get a new phone number (true story)

racists

people who hate everybody and complain about everything and everyone and never sees good in anything/anyone

diet soda

lame IQ dropping mindless tv shows

lame tv channels that cancel good tv shows that aren't IQ dropping

tv channels canceling a show mid-season...wtf did I spend all that time watching it for? 

people who force their believes on others

 

guess that sums it up

OMG Ven, you need to...

I always say you and I, it sounds better and it is correct. 

 

or for example - "Freddy and I just walked to the store."

It beats the hell out of "Me and Freddy just walked to the store."

I'll add 2 more.

People who don't clean up after their dog(s) in broad daylight with other people around watching.

People who drive around with 1 headlight burned out or no headlights turned on at all at night.

Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

Sooo... you don't like hummers!  Good to know. 

 

I guess we're not really talking about major hates, such as religious fanatics, terrorists or racists, so I'll go with the constant inserts of "lol" in posts.  I've seen people use it before and after every sentences.

Ahem...  the word "I" is not always correct.  If you say, "Hey look!  Someone gave I a pencil!"  That is pretty silly.  Try these:

I felt like the TV commercial was talking right to I.

Oh no!  The train is going to hit I!

Belive I, it was no joke.

These are all very silly sounding, but for some reason when there's a compound object (adding "him" or "her" or "they" to the word "me") people decide the right word is "I" without exception.

If the word "me" sounds right by itself, then the word "me" should be there even if some other word is with it.  For example:

I posted about my pet peeve, and so did hvc801, but someone flamed him and me. (correct)

I posted about my pet peeve, but someone flamed me.  (also correct)

Look how it works if you do it the wrong way:

That jerk just reported I!  (obviously wrong)

That jerk just reported he and I!  (also wrong!)

I hope this clears things up for you!

Hippies... I can't stand hippies.

Ranting about capitalism in their $50 pre-ripped jeans and tie dye shirts, talking about how awesome they are for being vegitarians. Its sort of like bikers... they stand for a cause that died years ago. Now its just a self righteous teenage click of hypocrits who think longhair and hemp purses make them unique and intelligent.
