If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
Pet Peeves, things that just drive us nuts! So, what are yours?
Mine is when people offer me grape flavored stuff. I went to the dentist a few weeks ago and the denist put on grape flavor gloves. I kept on gadding I thought about asking him to switch to bubblegum flavor gloves but they were extra small and the grape ones were like medium. And the worse part he sprinkled grape powder in my mouth!
Bad grammar. Not to sound stuffy (or to say that I have the best grammer), but where I live there are a lot Native Americans that speak very poorly. And many people think it's cool to say things like, "I aint got no money wit' me," or something like that. Ugh, it truely urks me!

At the moment, car insurance. And hw. And all those college bills resulting in a broke Jonathan leading to the pet peeve about car insurance. And....ah, for now let's just say college in general

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 37:4-5
People on this site who don't spell or use grammer, and n00bs who beg to much and spam. Pizza with anchovies (sp?), Alegebra, neat freaks, and dudes who think they are to cool.
Posts typed without: punctuation, capitalization, good spelling, and grammar.
People who know nothing about computers, or people who think that no one else knows anything about computers and are condenscending when explaining something pertaining to them.
Constant mispronunciation or emphasis on the the wrong syllable.
People who can't understand why a person who is 16 is living their seventeenth year.
Teachers who know less than the students.
The radio being turned on...and then down so low that no one can hear it...or then being talked over.
Music stopped in the middle of the song.
There's more; I'm a picky, impatient person, but I can't think of it right now (plus, I feel I ought to spare you).
the one that came to mind first is what my college friends call "freshmen lovitis" (which is freshmen dating when they've just met a couple weeks ago).
EDIT: another one is when i'm in line at the cafeteria, and they don't hear me right. i say, clearly (or so i think), sausage and eggs, and they give me sausage and pancakes. i usually just eat what they give me, though, but it happens every couple/few daysish
of course, i do need to talk louder and enunciate better

I'm not saying I'm perfect I don't like it when I spell or use the wrong grammar. I try to correct it. To tell the truth I'm a very ungood speller and grammar person!
