I also hate it when you think someone is waving at you or saying "Hello" to you and you respond and then immediately realize they meant it for someone BEHIND you!

I can't believe that no body said this one, it gets me mad as hell.

1) people who park taking up two spaces in a crowded parking lot. You drive an '94 Duster !!!!

2) people who can't use then and than correctly. It happens all the time on here and it bugs the hell outta me, I don't know why...Im nuts....
than is used when comparing things: An S2000 is faster THAN an echo
then used in context of time: I'm 16 and I just bought a neon srt THEN I ran it into a phone pole....

3) people who chew on ice...or even worse with their mouth open...

oh and finkl123 I totally agree with #4 my uncle does this and it drives me crazy

thanks I feel better already....

Two of my top pet peeves are the incorrect usage of "its" and "it's". I see them used incorrectly many times on this site.

"Its" is the possessive form of the pronoun "it", as in "The dog wagged its tail."

"It's" is a contraction meaning "it is" or "it has". It bugs me when people incorrectly use it for the possessive form mentioned above.

Grr!
