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 youāre opening there, but then again, Iām not clear on your stance. āan inaccurate modelā is pretty general. āGlobal Warming Denyersā often misunderstand or misrepresent the facts in this regard. On the other hand, āGlobal Warming Alarmistsā 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 āBegging the question meansā. Hint: the thousands of times youāve seen āWhich begs the question: ?ā are examples of incorrect usage
-
The word āirregardlessā. Thereās not supposed to be any such word. āRegardlessā is what you meant. However, āirrespectiveā is a word, so gāhead and use that one.
-
Any qualifier in front of the word āuniqueā (for example, āreally uniqueā or āvery uniqueā). The word āuniqueā is defined as āone of a kindā. You canāt 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 songsā¦
People giving out inaccurate or wrong information, ESPECIALLY regarding yoyos. 
Whenever someone asks the questionā¦ This Vs That and offers nothing about what they like or what they playā¦ But even worse is when ppl chime in who have not played one or both of the throws with an opinionā¦ Makes no sense to meā¦
Sayā¦ Majesty Vs. Cliff for exampleā¦ Or CODE2 Vs. Chief we see that one alotā¦
āScuze me while I kiss this guy!ā (Scuze me while I kiss the sky)

I donāt know if itās a pet peeve but I canāt 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 donāt know, purpose is important in life and selfishness is soā¦egocentric.
when people say something softly and you say āwhat was thatā and they continue to speak softly. The cycle can go on 3-5 timesā¦
Slow drivers on the road.
Grrrrr. What are these people thinking? Oh yeah, they are not thinkingā¦ they are idiots. ???
Sometimes I imagine my car is armed with photon torpedoes. Oh yeahā¦
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! Thereās No Way that I was Mistaken Titles for Sentences. Thatād be Absurd and Totally Not my Fault!
-Close minded people.
-Those who have graduated 2nd grade yet still donāt know the difference between the forms of āyourā and āthereā.
-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 canāt sing it, I go lower. Iām not gonna try to sing higher than I can, I just drop an octave.
People who get angry at people who say āHappy Holidaysā
When Iām stuck with a āmr. Know it allā in a group.
That awkward moment when the world endsā¦
When people tell you to do stuff when youāre already doing it.
