I get very irritated when people say Mass instead of Massachusetts. Also when I hear FebUary instead of FebRUary.
And then there are those who say 7AM in the morning. Is that to distinguish it from 7AM at NIGHT!!!???

Before I go on, let me say that my boyfriend does laundry, loads the dishwasher (usually), does the cat boxes, etc. He's a joy! 99% of the time. That said....
My biggest peeve is this old wooden handle frying pan he loves. He pulled it out when I told him my Faberware was off limits (he knows one heat setting - HIGH!). When he uses this frying pan, he leaves behind a two foot ring of grease. It's too big to fit in the sink, but in it goes along with any forth coming silverware, dishes, other pots, and the dish sponge. I refuse to touch this mess. I can't stand grease!!!! :evil: Told him that if I find THAT frying pan in the sink again, its going on a lonnnngggg trip, never to return!
Guess the message must have finally sunk in. Just to be on the safe side, instead of putting the frying pan in the dishwasher (where it barely fits), he took it out to the driveway and used a hose to wash it! We'll see how long this lasts. :!:

People who post to get people upset about something and no one ever comes back to up date it.
People that ask for free fabrics, then comes back and tell they just bought a new sewing machine and took a vacation. Seems to me they could buy their own fabrics.
Poeple not looking at other threads and asking the same question that has already been asked.
People skipping around and not reading through PDAs, threads and asking a question that's already been answered, sometimes right above their question.
Too many more to mention.

People who chew gum. No one looks good chewing, and when they talk you see the gum and they think you can't. It's disgusting. My next biggest peeve is people who give an excuse for something instead of a reason. I never accepted an excuse from my kids, they had to have a reason. My DD said that has been her best job advancement tool.
She never gives excuses to her bosses for anything only a reason.
