Re: Pet Peeves?
Problem is both of those words are acceptable to a spell checker, people should NOT rely on the spell checker it often accepts words that are used incorrectly, sew is knot that much use, This post is correct, my chequer tolled me sew.
And I did run it threw the BE spell chequer.

Then there's the folks wanting a VISA to come live in Florida. They don't get unsolicited mail from the banks in the UK?

Re: Pet Peeves?
School buses and the completely random pick up/drop off schedule
Utter crap on the radio, but when you find something half decent, the reception if crap
Utterly shite scheduling of cable repair people....and billing department
People
Charity/junk/whoever calling late at night
Cost of kids medicines, WTF, double the cost, even for crappy own brand stuff and what's with the crap flavours? bubble gum seems to be the only one we could find recently
The neighbours dog, it's tearing the garden apart and tries to hump anything in sight...and has tiny turds all over the place
Other People
How bloody slow turtles are, especially when they're crossing the road and there are a lot of the buggers around here
Window AC unit that is starting to squeak horridly
How batteries on devices always suddenly seem to die when you need them the most
Trying to find a place to chuck batteries...no wonder people ignore state law and chuck them in with the regular rubbish
People
UPS/USPS both completely being unable to pick up any mail left out for them
How someone always seems to need to top up their car tyres just before you pull up to the air...or you then find it dead
Stuff getting stuck in the net in the boot of the car, or stuff that doesn't get held in place by the net
Amazon Instant, not being able to push video on iPad, what's the point of that and not being able to get it on Android unless it's Kindle
Sketchy Wifi....iPad can't find nearly as much as Android devices
Range of crap school lunches being offered by schools...or snacks in shops
Authors who insist on going over every detail and plot twist of a previous book in the current one, adding another couple hundred pages to the book
Holiday Inn
Candles
Kids - pens/crayons/pencils
Hmmmm...I think I'll just stop now in case I self combust....but I'll end with one more.
