Inconsiderate drivers
Parents who argue with a 5 yr old in the checkout lane over a candy bar they don't need.

actually just an irritant at this time, but trying to figure out what day and time it is by looking at the time line above my name.... mine says Feb 13, but it's still the 12th here... and 1:19am it's only 10:pm

A couple of common English errors just aggravate me to no end.
The misuse of your and you're or their, there and they're.
People don't seem to be thinking about what they're saying.
Thanks!

I have often wondered if more people are poor spellers these days or if we are just exposed to more poor spellers because of chat rooms, texting, etc.
Who knows?

It irriates me when I think how short life is and I sit and hear comments to make problems for people who go with the flow of life...like some people do not have enough to do...too much idle time....it is like "get a life"

I agree with the spelling and the grammar. I am an English teacher and I constantly deal with this issue. My students do not seem to care.
