What are your pet peeves ?

This is kind of strange but I used to have a pet peeve about hearing the word "ax" instead of "ask". It would irritate me.

But since learning about linguistics I found out that ax was the old English way of saying it. Beowulf and Chaucer both use ax.

Ask
wasn't standardized until Shakespeare.

I had to drop that pet peeve. It wasn't hard to let it go.
 
Some days it's the small things that send me over the edge... I have quite few Pet Peeves, and thought others would like to share theirs....

People pulling out in front of me, when no traffic behind me, to go one block and turn....
People standing in the middle of the isle while shopping...and being totally ignorant to me standing there fuming. I back up, go around the other isle to get to what i need, and then they are gone when I get there .....
Someone saying 'huh' when you have told them something really important.
Wishy washy people, friendly one time and a blank stare the next... (hmm, just thought, that could be one of US !)

My list is huge . Patience is NOT one of my virtues... so will leave room for others to share...
I will say I am bad for saying "huh" even when I have heard the question I just haven't processed the questions. Although it annoys me when toddlers learn it and keep doing it lol
