What are some of your pet peeves? I get really ticked at people giving out false information, ESPECIALLY regarding Global Warming (The cause of which is an inaccurate model, not actual warming of the Earth).
A bit of a can of worms youâre opening there, but then again, Iâm not clear on your stance. âan inaccurate modelâ is pretty general. âGlobal Warming Denyersâ often misunderstand or misrepresent the facts in this regard. On the other hand, âGlobal Warming Alarmistsâ pick and choose from the scariest of facts in an effort to give urgency to their cause.
Kind of causes a bit of misunderstanding in both directions.
Pet Peeves often surround language abuses, such as:
-
Not understanding what âBegging the question meansâ. Hint: the thousands of times youâve seen âWhich begs the question: ?â are examples of incorrect usage
-
The word âirregardlessâ. Thereâs not supposed to be any such word. âRegardlessâ is what you meant. However, âirrespectiveâ is a word, so gâhead and use that one.
-
Any qualifier in front of the word âuniqueâ (for example, âreally uniqueâ or âvery uniqueâ). The word âuniqueâ is defined as âone of a kindâ. You canât be very one-of-a-kind. Something is unique or it is not, period.
one of mine is when peopkle say the wrong lyrics to songsâŚ
People giving out inaccurate or wrong information, ESPECIALLY regarding yoyos. 
Whenever someone asks the question⌠This Vs That and offers nothing about what they like or what they play⌠But even worse is when ppl chime in who have not played one or both of the throws with an opinion⌠Makes no sense to meâŚ
Say⌠Majesty Vs. Cliff for example⌠Or CODE2 Vs. Chief we see that one alotâŚ

I donât know if itâs a pet peeve but I canât believe all the people that want to be sponsored just to get free gear. I mean come on, the only reason to be sponsored is so you can have a little help spreading the love of yoyoing. I donât know, purpose is important in life and selfishness is soâŚegocentric.
when people say something softly and you say âwhat was thatâ and they continue to speak softly. The cycle can go on 3-5 timesâŚ
Slow drivers on the road.
Grrrrr. What are these people thinking? Oh yeah, they are not thinking⌠they are idiots. ???
Sometimes I imagine my car is armed with photon torpedoes. Oh yeahâŚ
I hate it when people sing on the wrong pitch. I am blessed/cursed with perfect pitch so that happens a lot.
When People Type Like This.
But But My Teacher Taught Me to Capitalize Every Important Word! Thereâs No Way that I was Mistaken Titles for Sentences. Thatâd be Absurd and Totally Not my Fault!
-Close minded people.
-Those who have graduated 2nd grade yet still donât know the difference between the forms of âyourâ and âthereâ.
-When the lead singer has the crowd sing the chorus.
Pet peeve threads! They just peeve me.
That last one. I also hate it when people stop strumming and tap the body of an acoustic guitar, so they seem multi talented.
But strumming and using the body as percussion is cool.
Me too! It absolutely annoys me. If I canât sing it, I go lower. Iâm not gonna try to sing higher than I can, I just drop an octave.
People who get angry at people who say âHappy Holidaysâ
When Iâm stuck with a âmr. Know it allâ in a group.
That awkward moment when the world endsâŚ
When people tell you to do stuff when youâre already doing it.
