whats peoples pet peeves

a slight rant here! :rotfl:my bil goes on the same forum as me and chats to me on facebook (actually I avoid him now because of this) and instead of putting full stops or other punctuation in the sentence he puts ......

every sentence has ....... following it ..... and its so irritating!

Its got to the point now where I want to beat him to death if I see him typing anything :rotfl:

See my dh doesnt find .... annoying but goes loopy at people slurping drinks, and it got me thinking last night after ranting whats everyones elses peeves?

  • While you are on the subject of bad punctuation, your title should have been 'what are peoples pet peeves?'. If you were saying what is your pet peeves, then you would use 'what's' not 'whats'.

    I've a few that niggle me but the big one is people picking their nails, it annoys me to the point where I could fly for them. There is no need for it.

    Poor grammar! (like the title :D)

    My OH not putting the remote controls back in the right place. I know it doesn't even slightly matter but it really gets my back up.

    :rotfl:sorry, I completely agree, I was attempting to type whilst holding an irritated child, I will amend it now, otherwise it'll just wind me up the whole day!

    What are people's pet peeves?

    Is the correct way of expressing this sentiment.

    HTH ;)
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking
