I've got a few.
*The use of the word "whelp" instead of "well". I always spend the first few seconds after someone says/writes it wondering why someone is addressing a puppy. *Similarly, the use of the word "ya" instead of "yeah." Ya is too much like "ja" to me and I am all, is this person German? LOL *The number of people who call Dot fat. She's NOT. She's a weird mixed breed and has a giant ribcage. But she's actually a 5 on the vet's body scale, which is perfectly good, especially for an old dog.
This isn't technically a pet peeve, but I'm a little alarmed by the number of neighbors we have who've admitted to peeping through our windows before we moved in. Egads.
* People who smack when they eat. * People who are on Facebook the ENTIRE DAY. We know when my sister-in-law plans what's for dinner, pictures while she's cooking it, a report after they ate it.....etc. etc. I'd remove her from my newsfeed....BUT she posts pics of my sweet nephew AND updates on her pregnancy with twins.
Spin off of MelB..people who are on FB all day b*tching about how awful their kids are, how they just can't get anything done etc. One of these days I'm going to write a) Get off FB, give your kids some love and then maybe they won't be so awful! b) In the time you sat and whined about how much you had to do on FB you could've been half done with that list.
Makes me insane!
I get it life is hard, we all need an outlet, I kill enough time on the internet too, but Lord if I ever whine about stuff like that incessentantly, be so kind as to tell me to get to work.
And I admitted this in my post above, but I hate used shoes on kids. My SIL, while I love her handmedowns always send me bags of shoes. I think it's gross, not good for my kid's feet and a host of other things. I'll gladly pay for some Keens, Stride Rite, New Balance etc. for her. She wears them all day long afterall! I'm aware this makes me snotty and a host of other things. It's my own issue.
I hate it when people say, "It is what it is." What does that even mean!? And so many people I know say this phrase all of the time. It drives me nuts!
Also, the saying YOLO makes me irritated. It's like the poor man's version of Carpe Diem. Whenever people say YOLO, they say it in a certain way that makes me roll my eyes; it's kind of like YOOOOLOOO. *Eye roll*

Dairy, I am the same way, for the most part, but I have the cutest little Nike Shox hand me downs from a friend that I'll probably put Baby W in and I don't care. I usually buy all shoes new, but at least they're from someone I know took great care of them? Second-hand shoes from the thrift store make me want to hurl.
AND I totally agree about the driver thing. There's an area where it goes from 2 lanes to 1 and it annoys me to no end when someone wants to poke along going 5 under until they hit that area and you're trying to pass them because you want to do at least 5 over but they hurry up to keep you behind them. YOU DON'T WANT TO GO FASTER THAN THIS AND I DO SO JUST LET ME GO AROUND ASSHOLE.
I have found my life goes a lot better when I take the turnpike because those people who want to go 5 under and clog traffic don't want to pay to go on the highway.

Totally! I kept some of the better handmedowns. Ones that were barely worn, still look new, not touched at all etc. I literally get bags of over worn shoes. Ones that have been through a barn numerous times as well. Like WTH am I supposed to with that? LOL. That and really, how many pairs fo shoes does one kid need? 5 is about my limit. So I just get rid of the rest so I'm not sucking closet space.

OH GOD @crackhabit. That shit right there? That is what annoys the crap out of me on FB. And the ones where people are posting this crap:
This is a sampling of my 35 year old cousin's posts from the last 24 hours. She's been divorced 2 times and is with a new person and apparently pregnant with her 5th kid. None of those things is flameful* on it's own but together with the pictures? HOLD YOUR HORSES SISTER.
1. Underwear being sold as "One Size Fits Most". Victoria's Secret has been doing this a lot lately and it drives me batty. It's only done to decrease THEIR manufacturing costs, plain and simple. Meanwhile, there are size smalls walking around with their skivs around their ankles (and not by choice) and extra larges who can't feel their legs due to their skivs being so tight they're cutting off circlation. Skivvies have got to fit properly. Too big or too small, we've got a problem.
2. People on Facebook. All of them. I've recently decided I pretty much can't stand FB but it's like an addiction I can't seem to quit. I almost never post anything but sarcastic memes and vintage cards anymore.
3. Adults who are well off financially because their parents pretty much paid their way through their 20's so they could do nothing with theirs but save it. It's like starting a home run on third base. I'll freely admit, part of me is jealous of those people. My parents didn't pay for sh*t. It was my responsibility, whether that was convenient or not.
4. Teenagers.
5. News anchors that look like prostitutes. Enough with the smoky eye.
