Pet peeves...

People that sit through green lights because they are on their cell phone. Now, I talk on my cell phone when I drive, but I make sure that if I'm not passing someone that I get over. I will stop talking if necessary to be sure that I don't hold the line up. But the other day I got behind this moron that sat completely through a green light to make a right hand turn because he was on his cell phone. At that point I got very irritated. I honked the horn at him, a very short and polite beep, and he gets all uppity because I blew the horn. There are some days when I wish someone would get out of their car and challenge me. That day was one of them.

I told a friend that I wanted to leave LA, she was the first person I told that I wanted to leave, and the first thing she said is 'your not ready to leave' that really pissed me off.

At Busch II, my friend and I were sitting in the bleachers when this old guy with a rattail and a gold stud earring came up to us, gave us a not-so-gentle jab on the shoulder, and then gave us the "scoot over" motion with his hand.

I then pulled out my ticket stub, proved that I was in fact in the right place and that his seat was in the next section, and gave him the "scoot over" motion.

To add to this, it bugs me when people are squatting in your seats and then they have the nerve to ask you to see your tickets.

People who use the word "ironic" at the wrong time.

People who use the word "literally" at the wrong time.

Deer-because they can hear you step on a twig from 500 yards but they can't hear your car coming at 60 mph.

The term 110%.

When a December ice storm makes me drop $12,000 on a new roof.

People who leave sporting events early because of the score.

The new catch phrase "It is what it is."

Sounds way too much like something former so-called Mizzou basketball coach Quin Snyder would say.

Sounds way too much like something current Nebraska football coach Bill Callahan has already said.

Along the lines of what Elphie was saying, I've noticed something about high school and college kids around here. Apparently, I don't really live in Knoxville - I live in "Knoxvegas." And there really isn't a city in Tennessee by the name of Nashville - it's "Nashvegas." I've heard many kids at school referring to cities in this manner, and every time it happens my ability to resist punching them weakens just a little bit more.

People who get really, really close to you in a clothing store (or any other retail) to inspect something without saying "excuse me."

People who talk with their hands. Or, similarly, people who make "finger quotes" with every other word they speak.

I can't believe someone would do that!!

But I've had someone get rude with me when I was returning to my seats and found them there.

I said, hey those are our seats (smiling and being friendly about it).

The couple moved over two seats but still didn't vacate BOTH of our seats.

SO I said (still smiling) no, you are still in our seats.

Chick says: (rudely, loudly while sneering) OK I GET IT WE ARE MOVING!!!

What was the use of me even being nice about it.

Doc, she was just jealous cause you were obviously prettier than her, and apparently much smarter, too!

When people say "no pun intended" when clearly the pun *was* intended.
