Heard recently that if you are speaking with a rep and cannot understand through the accent what's being said, you may request {twice does it} someone from your own language group to speak with, and they must provide such. Have no idea if this is truth or urban legend, but I don't have the patience to listen to anyone's spiel and just hang up. ".Conducting a study..taking a survey..yeah, and I'm channeling Count Leo Tolstoi"

Mine would be when I research something and yet it gives me a whole different answer I am not looking for.

"Cover the dough with a clean cloth and leave it to prove."
A clean cloth? What's wrong with the one I just wiped the floor with?
Just looked at an online recipe for vegetable crumble, using stale bread.
"Use your blender to make your stale (not mouldy) bread into breadcrumbs."
How stupid do these people think we are? I'm going to have to stop reading online recipes!

Weather announcers that say 'prower' instead of per hour when talking about wind gusts. Or saying 'icetea' instead of iced tea. It's only one more word for heavens sake!

1. People who touch things that don't belong to them.
2. People who walk really slow around the supermarket (You have to stand around waiting for them to move out of the way so you can get past).
3. Over-crowed trains & buses.

People cracking their knuckles is by BIGGEST pet peeve. My best friend does this ALL the time...and when I point out he's doing it and remind him that I don't like it, he just cracks them slower!

People who post appealing for information, get a string of answers, and never come back to see the replies.
Or perhaps they do sneak back and look, but they're afraid that saying "thank you" might kill them.

Delayed response to ElusiveDream.
You can still move quickly? Slow people have the nerve to hold you up?
Be grateful. One day, the slow people who annoy you so much - might be you.

Elusive - your #2 - that might have been me, as getting 'elderly' sometimes makes me 'zone out'. But it's annoying as heck when the person in front of me does it!

My friend who calls every day likes to say things just a little wrong. Her favorite Harry Potter characters are Prof. Dumbledorff (maybe he plays golf), Hermaynee and the phonix Falks. When I say Dumbledore, Hermione and Fawkes she says "Oh whatever!".

Reminds of a former co-worker who, when he heard the name Mozart, somehow thought it was 'some band' called Noah's Ark.
I don't want to annoy anyone by going way off topic here but that little story reminds me of another. Not long ago while going through old papers I found a picture that I can remember drawing in second grade. It's a war scene with soldiers, tanks etc.. I wrote at the bottom two things, both very wrong. I wrote "War War 2" instead of World War II and I wrote "Hi Hitler"! LOL

Large brown envelope drops through the letter box. Official!
On the front, in big black letters, it says OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED. Scary!
At the top of the latter, now in red, below a green triangle looking horribly like a flattened version of the DVLA logo, it says WARNING. Ooh! *bites fingernails*
Lower down, inside a red box, are the words IMPORTANT (in red)- FINAL REMINDER: *trembles*
YOUR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT *switches shredder on*
Rick, there's nothing wrong with WW2 - but Hi, Hitler! is pure class.

People who insist on walking, jogging, etc. in the middle of the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk available. Yesterday I made a right turn, and there was some idiot jogging with his dog right in the center of the street. Had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting the dog.

Two stories in the news of people abusing animals.
I did like one suggestion someone posted. Animal abusers should be forced to register like sex offenders.
Personally I'd like to do to them exactly what they did to the dogs.

...when I send someone a compliment on their quiz, and don't get so much as a "thanks" in reply. When I really, really like a quiz and take the time to send a compliment to someone saying as such (I don't do this that often, actually, maybe 1 out of every 30/40 quizzes I play), do I not deserve even a "thank you"? I think it's just common courtesy. I always try to send personal "thank you"s back to people who send me quiz compliments. But maybe that's just me.

Unfortunately common courtesy is going the way of common sense. Both are becoming more and more uncommon.
