Pet peeve's 2020-21-

Package zip strips that only work half way.
Oh yeah, I gotta Google that. Then forget what it was 10 seconds later.
Online articles that are 7-10 years old. Please update or remove!
Cable T.V. Shows that run back to back all day and night.
One way aisles at the grocery store. The store employees for pick up service sure don't pay attention. Why bother ?

I'm sure the rest of you want to unload a few!

Oop's, Lowell please move to chit chat.

6. Accidentally posting to the wrong forum

I've done that before, and then it's too late, and you have no way of fixing it!

Merry Christmas, Bigb23!

7. Radio commercials that end with a string of fast-talking disclaimers. Does it really count as a legal disclaimer when it's deliberately made unintelligible?

**jcole** · December-26-20, 10:03 AM

Radio commercials with sirens in them.

**Meddle** · December-26-20, 10:59 AM

My pet peeves:

They eat too much.

They shed.

Vet bills are too high.

They attract ticks and fleas.

^^^ Hah! That's right. Which is why when my last cat passed on from old age, I decided to end pet ownership - but we sure miss the furry ones [[dogs and cats).

8. Plants that are nearly as finicky as pets!

9. Dusting the dust off fake plants.

Incorrect use of the apostrophe, mixing up plural and possessive.

The automatic response "One second" or some variation, when approaching a clerk, or some other service person.

**Richard** · December-26-20, 12:21 PM

Packing that reads ,tear here,when whoever designed it clearly never tried it.

Eyeglass centers that have a massive sign that reads ,2 pairs for $79 when they know full well you will not walk out of there without spending $400.

**Former_Detroiter** · December-26-20, 12:22 PM

People who bash Detroit and have never set foot within the city limits.

**DetroiterOnTheWestCoast** · December-26-20, 02:43 PM

Anyone who asks where something is “at”.

**birwood** · December-26-20, 03:20 PM

People who claim they are from Detroit, but were not born and raised there.

Worse, for me:
Not your phone samples of phone alerts.
Ads are the worst offenders.
I hear few-- could be why they still get me.
Frequent apologies to anyone expecting a prompt response.

I didn't get this until Zacha.
Was thinking of war heroes,
And what the heck!?
oOps, I quoted.

Liars,
Propagandists,
Disinformers,
Misinformers,
Gaslighters,
Hypocrites,
Folks too comfortable, uncurious, and selfish to care.

**Ray1936** · December-26-20, 06:10 PM

People who think my adopted home is for nothing but gambling. Sigh.

**Bigb23** · December-26-20, 08:48 PM

Ray - I'll bet you're right !

Just drop the “at.”

**bust** · December-26-20, 10:10 PM

I don't often hear that;
"Where my keys at?" Sure.
This shorthand prolly your culprit.
Evry sentence needs a verb.

This is the meanest thing Kathleen has ever posted.

She is so nice she would say that Charlie Manson was a committed family man.

Now for my pet’s peeve: very.

If you ever have the urge to use “very” in a sentence replace “very” with “damn”. If your sentence still makes sense, it means your “very” is very much not needed.

I was very tired.
I was damn tired.
I was tired.

I don’t have any idea why my pet hates “very” but I suspect it has to do with a soon to be biggly fired individual.
