An unbelievable list as I have a lot of OCD's

But besides OCD's, people flicking your ears
People chewing loudly
Cars not indicating when you're waiting at a junction for them to go past, only for them to turn into the road you are waiting at :@

Bought - to purchase
BROUGHT - to take somewhere

It's hardly rocket science to use the right one in context.

Definitely agree with this one! Just too much effort to correct people every time.

My one has to be when fellas on Facebook take more selfies than their girlfriends do! I don't think I've ever taken a photo of myself!

Seeing above ^ ..... people who incorrectly use "genuinely" and "generally"

For instance, someone on my facebook posted only yesterday "I generally can't wait for my holiday next week"


This really grinds on me.

Another:

Defiantly, instead of definitely.

I think most of it comes from autocorrect. And laziness/ignorance.

Laziness and attention seeking if it's Facebook.
People on there will ask a question, that they could just search for as they are on some marvellous thing called the Internet. Google it morons

idiots on facebook telling the world they are going on holiday, posting pictures on holiday, the local housebreakers must love it.then when they come home they bleat on forums about some scumbag breaking into their house and stealing all their expensive possessions, then driving off in their golf r, rs4 etc, (insert make of car for whichever forum they belong to)

I keep seeing ponies chained up on the grass verge next to the road. If you can't afford to buy/rent a field, don't get a f***in' horse!

People who do their weekly shopping after filling their car with petrol and leaving it by the pump you're waiting on..
People who turn on fog lights when it's not foggy
People who don't indicate on roundabouts.. People who don't indicate in general.
Middle lane drivers.
People who leave their car alarms activated at car shows  :stupid:
When you let somebody in and they don't thank you
When you indicate in due time and slow to turn a very sharp corner, yet some idiot behind you beeps as if you're doing something wrong. Most infuriating that I live down a street like this and it happens far too regularly  :confused:
People who brake on back roads every time they ecounter a car coming the opposite way
People who can't go 60 in a 60
People who go 40 in a 30 but 30 in a 40
People who try merging onto the motorway at 30mph



Now for the non driving related peeves  :grin:

People who sit next to you on public transportation even when there are other seats available.
Crumbs in butter
People who leave the foil wrapper thing on top of butter  :sick:
People who use a wet spoon to put sugar in their tea or coffee. Sorry but I don't like clumps in my sugar
The noise flip flops make when you walk
Pictures uploaded to facebook that are out of focus

Life pretty much  :signLOL: Though I am a woman so it's allowed

Injuring yourself, then doing the same injury exactly a week later.  :fighting:
