Now I'll have to watch DeGrassi to find out what you're on about (I'm only a poor Brit...)

in the first few seconds he says im sore-ee.

I say it like that, but with more intonation at the "sore" part.

How have I never noticed this thread before, I will try to restrain myself(ish) but there are so many little things that annoy me

People who use the right hand side of a busy staircase when there are signs plastered everywhere that clearly say "please stay to the left" - it's so bloody infuriating when I end up standing at the bottom of a staircase like a moron waiting for streams of people coming down in one big horde. SINGLE FILE, ON THE LEFT, SO PEOPLE GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION CAN USE THE STAIRS TOO GAAAH

On a similar note, people who get to the bottom of a staircase or an escalator and then STOP. I don't care if you're trying to decide which direction you need to go, move away from the staircase and then decide, you are not the only person in the universe, there are people behind you.

People who seem to be able to take up an entire side walk by themselves so I end up doing a stupid left right left right dance behind them trying to get past, or risk getting run over. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about people who are big, it's usually tiny old ladies that do this, they seem to sort of go in an unpredictable wave along the middle of the path....please...please...just walk straight for a few seconds so I can get past you and walk faster than 0.000001 MPH ;___;

I don't know why, but this happens to me A LOT - I will be walking down the aisle of a shop, and I will see someone who's stopped to look at something. Then just at the split second I walk behind them, they step backwards. Then look at me as if it's my fault they just stepped on me.

Also people who walk in groups along narrow paths, and refuse to move into single file if they see me coming the other way. Do they expect me to pass through them? Jump over them?

Drivers who repeatedly rev their engines impatiently when I've pressed the button at a crossing so I can cross the road. I'm so sorry for adding 10 seconds to your journey, I'm clearly a horrible person.

I think I'll leave it at that for now or I will be here all night

The 'slime' injected into the tubes is far less effective than the slime tubes themselves.  Such is my experience anyway.

As for pet peeves I pretty much go the route of Point of No Return (even though the original French La Femme Nikita is far superior in every aspect) and just think:  I never did mind about the little things.

That is true.  Thank you for pointing that out.

Lol, that annoys me too, because it's automatic for me.

I have managed to shorten thank you to just thanks so I dont sound like a dweeb ^^.

Please, tell me more.

I never had too much problem patching my tubes on the road. I always kept a patch kit and a spare tube in my saddle bag. My bike was stolen out of my building's garage though last year, so that ended all that :/

Another big one for me. Saying please, thank you, and you're welcome. I mean, it's not that hard to say any of them and it hardly takes any time. It's infuriating for me actually.

No, dear.  Thank you.

lol, I'm so excessive about thank you sometimes that it annoys people, but like you said it's automatic. I don't care though because it's proper manners
I do I say sorry too much, that I need to work on.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's a fairly common thing here in the states as well    Mostly among the women

I believe in some traditional southern values, like chivalry  . However, I speak with a Spanish accent, but if I really tried, since I first learned English in Texas, I could talk like an American southerner. It's funny too see peoples' brains explode as they try to figure out where I'm from.

oh my :O

thank god I avoided that ghetto twang that's here in NYC. Unfortunately, people tend to take you less seriously when you speak like that.

Oh my stars and garters! I really don't like the ghetto//modern NYC slang. It is so stupid! That is certainly high on my list of pet peeves.

it's ok if you're with your friends, but it gets annoying seeing grown ass people talk like this -_-'

I saw a guy in his early 20's use the phrase "back in the day" as though it were really that far back. 

Pet peeve: People who nag me for having a healthy diet. "But (birth name), you shouldn't be eating the same things everyday." 

As long as I gain sufficient calories, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, it doesn't matter where they come from. Idiots....

The damn Ice cream trucks passing around here as if all the children aren't already indoors .

Omg ^this. Yes!

I have to say though I'd go crazy eating the same things every day

Pet peas (i used to call it that when i was younger)

That chew noise people make with their mouths open and you can see food pouring out (the noise calls your attention to unfortunately see this)

People who don't use their signal to turn yet complain about how rude the person was who just cut in front of them without....using their signal....

The shopping cart wheel I chime in on highly especially if it sticks and you can't ride on it when filled with heavy items.

People who break their necks to see what you're doing next door (abandoned yard needs a cut) then come up to you to talk about how they always wanted to do what you just did.  :/

I occasionally go to some restaurants, but I'm a "I'll have the usual" type of gals. I am always willing to try new things, but I won't go out of my way to try new stuff. I like my food and it works.

Like my daddy says, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."

Also, "If you're hungry, don't try new food, because if you don't like it, you'll just be hungry AND mad. Play it safe."

1. I never did care about peoples' table manners (I'm definitely not one to talk). One of my best friends does this all of the time and he makes sure I look at him doing it. He never let go of his inner child and never will. I think it's cute.

2. This sort of thing got me hit by a car once. The guy just kept on driving.... I chased him down on my bike.... I pulled out my lock.... Let's just say he didn't have a windshield anymore.

See, I have to try everything. I've found some pretty cool things and flavors being like that
But as far as I'm concerned, let people eat what they like! I won't mess with your diet unless you pay me to

lactating.


Crap.


FML!
