Please share your pet peeves. Here are mine:
Restaurants thinking that I can't tell that water is being poured into my refill to save them a litle money.
People using the term "I would argue that" to say that they would argue WITH something. Would it kill you to put the word "with" in there to be less confusing, since "to argue" is supposed to mean "to assert"??
L.A. LAW mysteriously discontinuing being one of the 5 most popular shows of all time, and doesn't even make TV Guide's top 50 list!
Even during this show's worst season (in my opinion, of course) it won the People's Choice Award; now everyone has forgotten about it?
Guys named "TODD"! Ok, I stole this one from George Carlin.
When people tell other people who they are and are not allowed to marry.
HUNTING. Let's have someone try to blow you away, and see how much you like it. Besides, what is the SPORT in hunting down a deer with a rifle? How about a bear with your fists, or maybe a small knife? Aren't you being just a TINY bit cowardly? Ooh, big man with a gun; what a badass.
When people call Bill Maher politically correct, an ultra liberal, a socialist or some other such nonsense. The guy is for the death penalty, defends the tobacco companies, complains about feminists and has called people "retards" for crying out loud. PC? Ultra Liberal? Oook. In Europe, this guy would be considered to be a little to the right.
When people complain about certain words being offensive, while they themselves consistently treat people like crap by rolling their eyes or some other dumb *****. Does the language you use really determine whether you are being rude or not, or does your attitude?
FARGO. 'Nuff said.
I expect to lose my "respected" status with this one, but that's ok.
