Damn....I really miss Pops not posting anymore...he was the life of the party!!
people dithering in shops.
Like when the person in front of you in the que, when asked by the checkout person for the money-looks back with empty eyes as if they had been addressed in Burmese (not in Burma, obviously)-then slowly over the next 30seconds you can see it dawn on them that a transaction is taking place and they are part of it. They search for the money-drop stuff-get flustered...while the rest of the que are slowly loosing the will to live. Blankly staring at the shiny disks in their hands-it does my head in
and instant coffee

Here is a pet peeve that I commonly see everywhere on the internet (I can just see the list of members making fun of this after I post this)
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "LOSE" and "LOOSE".
There is a distinct difference between the two. Here is an example question for you: (That we learned in 3rd grade)
One of that child's teeth is very ......... and will soon fall out.
(a) lost
(b) losing
(c) lose
(d) loose
One of that child's teeth is very loose and will soon fall out.
Correct answer: (d) loose
Your answer was: incorrect
One of that child's teeth is very lose and will soon fall out.
Simple definition of LOSE:
fail to win;
Simple definition of LOOSE:
not tight; "loose clothing"
Somebody tell me I'm not the only one who's noticed this.....

dose and does, threw through and so many others on this site there is so much engrish used its amazing. I can understand the ESL people but I only have a 7th grade education and can only wonder if these others dropped out in third.
The word I see all the time misspelled is gauge, when it is spelled guage I always pronounce it in my head as Guuuuu-age and it pisses me off.

People who don't use their turn signals driving
People who cut into a turn only lane at the very last second because they did not want to wait in line like everybody else.
Basically a-hole drivers.
Religious solicitors who don't think my NO SOLICITOR sign on my front door applies to them.

People who rearrange their whole fucking purse when standing at the ATM....after they have done with the ATM, but they just fucking stand there and fiddle...preventing you from using it.....ARRRGGGGG!!!
