    But I certainly agree with the pet peeve of people talking out of their ***es.
    Mainly when they try to talk about sports and they get their facts screwed up. It's even worse when they deny being wrong.
    For example:
    Person A: "Did you see the game last night where the guy on dallas threw the no hitter?"
    Person B: "Yeah I was watching that whole game"
    Me: "Dude, his name is Dallas, not the team. And actually it was a perfect game."
    Person B: "I think I know who he is I was watching the whole game."

      Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

      Hard to say, but I despise when people spoil movies. Not just spoil for myself, but like I am obviously a huge moviegoer and I enjoy the power and impact movies can have on people. But then when I go around hearing people spoiling parts of movies to people, it kind of irks me. Sometimes I just hate bringing up movies because people will start doing it.

      I have a friend named David who, when we were very young, wouldn't just spoil movies, but he would spoil a scene before it happens. Kind of like, "Oh watch how he dies this is so cool!" kind of spoiling. Or he'll say lines before they happen. My family was very aware of this issue, and from that moment on whenever somebody spoils something we always call it "Pulling a David."

        People who try to tell me my one thing or another about German Shepherds even though they've never owned one.

        EDIT: I just realized this could be read as me taking the "pet" part a bit too far. ha I didn't mean it that way, it honestly bothers the heck out of me when people do what I mentioned.

          A spinoff of this would be sporting events. I hate when someone ruins it for me if I recorded a game or paused a game and am slowly catching up to live TV. I can't go online or check texts during the super bowl or any mildly important game or someone will kill it for me every time.

            People who leave time left on the microwave. Nothing more annoying then that for me.

            My mom has thing thing where she will turn off my printer to save electricity, but every night I turn off our DVR and Surround sound and fans not in use.

            People who don't charge their phone at night.

            Like the OP, super obvious miss spellings. My friend had "it's a waist of time" on her status the other day. "Where going tomorrow". To and too and then and than doesn't bother me much as I always use them wrong.'

            PEOPLE WHO REPEAT FUNNY LINES. I lied, this is more annoying. Yes, I heard the hilarious one liner, I don't need an extra 10 seconds of you repeating it and giving me analysis.

              This is one of the worst too, but this one is only mildly fair because someone may assume you've already seen it.

              I do not like, however, how ESPN will re-air a broadcast in the middle of the night, only for me to accidentally peek at the ticker on the bottom and see the final score of the actual game. ESPN can prevent this one certainly.

              But yeah, even knowing in advance of a single pitch ahead of what I have seen kills it for me. Sports almost have to be watched live it seems.

                Yep if I watch a game replay and don't already know the score I have to re-size my screen so it cuts off the bottom line.

                  People eating loudly, especially crunchy foods. I know they can't help it when eating chips or whatever, but for some reason it just really bothers me.

                      When people leave their turn-signal on after changing lanes/making a turn. Just turn the ****ing thing off.

                        Haha me too!

                        Yeah, I hate people with poor manners while eating.

                        Bad drivers.

                        People that use poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

                        And, as stated, when somebody or something ruins a game that you recorded and are dying to see only to find out before you watch it.. SUCKS.

                          People who eat pickles or text during movies. Although the latter got me through a crappy movie once, these chicks in front of us were texting the entire time. They some how did not realize it was us throwing popcorn at them the entire movie.

                            I thought they did that. I guess they must of stopped doing it.

                            I hate when they break into games and give you scores for other sports. Every once and a while there will be 2 games on in different sports and I'll watch the one that I think has the best chance of not being shown the other score.
