People who do not do what I say.

People who refuse to bend to my will.

Whining about whinng, now there's a new one.
Do I have to spell it out?
I wasn't calling americans stupid.. just the practice of refusing to accept you're american, but instead having to be a sub-culture american of some kind.
The prefix to the word "American" is what counts for stupidity, not the word American itself. I'd suggest you just reread the post again and try and understand what you're missing, otherwise you're in danger of looking like you're deliberately trying to make an ass of yourself.

What?? Are you suggested that folk act reasonable in a "Pet Peeve" thread, when they have the opportunity to act like conceited, xenophobic prïcks?? ;)

That's an interesting one, because for me one of the overwhelming advantages of having a mobile (well, caller ID specifically) is being able to know who's ringing you so you can ignore them :p

(I never ignore mates, only in-laws and spam, but the principle is valid)

I was thinking specifically of my MIL to be honest. She never answers her cell phone, but will answer the house phone which also has caller ID on, so at least I know she's not ignoring me.

She probably has the ringer set too quiet, or off. My wife's a great one for doing that :lol:
