Things that bug me:
Like I said before, bad grammar.
your: that is YOUR book.
you're: you are.
there: over there
their: that is their book
they're: they are
IT'S NOT THAT HARD
its: its book.
it's: it is.
this one is the WORST.
and then my favorite:
to: learn to do grammar.
too: i wish i could spell, too!
two: give me two reasons not to throw a grammar book at you.
I can't tell you how many times i have been reading a newspaper, magazine, or brochure and seen these simple mistakes. basically, all of the editors should be fired.
bad drivers. welcome to houston. get off your @#@)(#&! cell phone and drive. if you MUST talk on your phone, put it on speaker. or get one of those obnoxious blue tooth things that make you look like you talk to yourself. are you turning? there's this little flashy light that EVERY car comes with (yes, EVERY. especially, mercedes and lexus drivers out there. just because your car costs more than my college tuition does NOT give you the right to drive 10 miles under the speed limit and not use a turn signal). When turning, you flick the lever wherever it is, and the turn signal comes on. GENIUS.
however, once you have turned, TURN OFF YOUR BLINKER. I HATE driving next to someone and you sit there the whole time wondering when they are going to veer into your lane.
(dear college station drivers: speed limits are like guidelines. if you go 5mph over, i PROMISE lightning will not strike you from heaven. give it a try.)

people who can't park. granted, i am one of those people that often has to back out and start over, guilty. but, if i happen to get out of my car i do NOT look at my horrible parking job and shrug and walk away. Example: yesterday i was at lupe tortillas (the original) and there was a parking spot RIGHT AT THE FRONT in a tiny parking lot where the only other spots were out in the boondocks. (yes, boondocks). a honda sedan was parked so that it was partially in the other spot. Now, this wouldnt be a problem if the Rav4 on the other side had not done THE EXACT SAME THING. If you cannot park your tiny honda/rav4, maybe you should invest in a smart car, and then i could just punt your tiny toy car out of the spot and park there myself.
which brings me to smart cars. hi. welcome to america. smart cars are perfect when you live in europe and the spots are all tiny parallel ones on the side of a busy road. NOT america where all of our spots are made for f-250s. the worst feeling ever is getting your hopes up about finding a parking spot, pulling part of the way in and then seeing a smart car. now, if a certain president had his way, we would all be driving these tiny barbiemobiles around, but that's a WHOLE other rant.
people who do not know how to walk in a mall. this is a MALL, not a park. if you're going to stroll leisurely around with your 37 kids and 12 strollers....go elsewhere. if i'm in the mall, i am there for a purpose. so get out tha wayyyy and take your caravan of munchkins outside and get them some fresh air.
restaurants that don't have splenda. just because sweet n low is sick and i prefer my ice tea without a shot of cancer.
when you go to a restaurant and you order a coke, and your waiter/waitress asks "Oh, is Pepsi okay?"
um...NO. if pepsi was okay i would have ordered a pepsi. Pepsi and Coke are NOT interchangeable. So i will just have a water.
people who order their steaks well done. WHAT. that is just a crime. it's all about the medium rare or even rare. that's right, i like my steak to still be mooing and walking around, it gives me a challenge. why don't you just go ahead an order chicken, because it will have as much taste in it as a steak that is well done. or medium well. either way, that cow is rolling over in its grave and if i see you committing this crime against red meat, i might stab you with my steak knife.
