Pet peeves

When my Dad calls individual pizzas “pies.”

He never did that my whole life and last trip up he apparently decided it’s cool because he must have said it five times and I wanted to punch a wall each time.

“How many pies should we get?”

“Right now we’re ordering pizza. Let’s get :airquotes: pies later, okay?”

:rolleyes2:

I’m a little more lenient with “h” words because “honor” might make them feel like it’s a rule, but it really bothers me more when people don’t use “an” before words that start with a vowel.

No, it doesn’t. It favors the bold. Go be stupid somewhere else.🖕
 
Parents letting their kids do whatever the fuck in a theater.

Took my kids to see Sonic 2 today and a couple kids were running across the aisle of seats. One was bending over the railing where people are beneath them.

Idk how loud I was but my kids heard me say something like 'control your kids' and 'that is rude as fuck'. It was pissiilng me off. Parents nowadays are pathetic.

I wouldn't go quite as far as to call it a pet peeve, but it certainly annoys me.

"Honor" makes sense, though, because the "h" is silent, so however it is spelled, it sounds like it begins with a vowel.
The "h" in historic is not silent, not unless you're Eliza Doolittle, or something.
 
People not knowing shit about the industry they work in. I should not come to your establishment and know more about whatever the fuck it is that YOU do.

That is made exponentially worse when you’re having to educate them and they act so condescending and dismissive.

“Learn your shit, asshole! I don’t have time to teach you.”

Yep. This dude was so certain of his answer, I almost felt bad correcting him.
 
When a person says “my partner” and eventually you realize they aren’t in a law firm, aren’t a wrestler in a tag team, or gay. They’re simply taking about their husband/wife.
