Rather than rant, which is useless, I thought it might be fun to voice our frustrations in the form of a pet peeves list.

My two biggies are: People who know you have an absolute deadline and call you back AFTER it passes; and people who can't punctuate properly. I saw a Tshirt in JC Penney over the summer that said, "I'm out of bed and dressed -- what more do you wan't?"

If there are people walking around out there who think "want" is a contraction, the language is well and truly dead.

So what are your pet peeves?

(And yes, I really did have a friend who named her cat Peeve so she could introduce him to people as "my pet, Peeve!")
