I could go on, but these are certainly at the top of my list!

How about when you are trying to go down the aisle and a person and/or their buggy is taking up the whole aisle and when you say 'excuse me', they look at you like you passed gas!

I have many pet peeves. I won't go in to all of them because I am sure it would become a brawl of some sort, however, one of the biggest I have is when I call somewhere and get "For English press one". Of course I want English, this is America after all!

You should hear how some people pronounce Neches, Brazos & Bois D'Arc. THey also say Palestine but we say it Palesteen. You know when you got an outsider. In Texas we also say pecon even though it is spelled pecan. Little things that drive people crazy.

Makes me want to smack the parents! lol

Me too. Also going out to a restaurant (whether is a family
type restaurant or fancy one), and listening to kids screaming
and running all over the place and the parents just totally
ignoring them.

It's time to get back to some old fashioned values!!People who don't speak english totally set me off :hunf: They come here leagally or illeagally because they want to be here, yet they don't really want to assimilate. I am for everyone being proud of their heritage, I am proud of mine, too, but this is America, the melting pot, DUH :!: :!: WOW, talk about a soap box :oops: :oops:

Totally agree.

The congresspeople and their special treatment that they vote themselves. We do not have any avenue except to vote them out.

young kids who drive down the street with their windows down and blast their music loud, as if I want to hear their kind of music.
