Pet peeve in real life is that people lie and not straight forward, or my next door neighbor makes a lot of noise at times. Pet peeve on the Internet that people are even harder to understand through email, and can easily say something they don't mean.

In real life, it is the refusal by people to use common definitions in language. How do we define a conservative? How do we define a liberal?

On the internet, it is poorly coded web pages that are totally unintuitive.

pet peeve in real life is when a person pretends like they are so innocent and when they answer you they look away or try to make you nag them about it. for example, this person i know pretends she's a virgin. she wasnt included in this one conversation and she blabs out "im still a virgin, i promise." as she say i promise she looks away. she wanted us to nag he about details but we didnt and i just told her "shut up, we already know you had sex with someone's bf in someone's car."

internet pet peeve iz wen dey type lyke diz iz supowsedlie kul.

ARGH ahahha

My biggest pet peeve anywhere is when people use the wrong homophone, e.g. "your" instead of "you're, "then" instead of "than," or "to" instead of "too." I'm not sure why this bugs me so much, but it's impossible for me to ignore. They always stand out to me. I especially hate seeing this on signs and things. Yeah...I'm a nerd. :)

Real Life?
It's phone etiquette. I can't stand it when someone calls me without introducing themselves, or just blurts out the name of who they want.
"JOE... hey JOE!"
It would be nice if people calling would say "Hi" or "This is (blank), is (blank) there?" and proceed with the conversation. Is that so hard?! Well?!

Internet?
It has to be ugly websites, or out of date web sites that hurt the eye and have electronic beeping elevator music. Sounding like those cheap drug store music cards. (piss shiver) and animation that was dated, even for the 90's. Believe me... they're out there!

My biggest real life pet peeve is when my mother places the tissue box on the floor. I know it sounds weird, but she puts the box on the floor so she can easily access it from the couch when she takes a nap (even though she has a TV in her bedroom). Then, if I have a cold, it isn't uncommon to find me running around the house searching the tops of tables for a tissue box that is right in front of me on the floor. TISSUE BOXES BELONG ON THE TABLE!

My biggest internet pet peeve is when I e-mail someone a chain e-mail and when they forward it to their friends, I get it back. Seriously, if I sent it to you, that means that I already saw it, and therefore do not need to see it again. At least I'm not on dail-up anymore and it doesn't take 10 minutes just to receive some e-mails.

The lowest common denominator and his effect on art/entertainment.
People who get into realty tv, be it Bastard Of Love or Dancing With The Bastards or Who Wants To Marry A Bastard, just don't get that we're not as much judging your tastes in entertainment, we are just afraid if you continue to talk about it like it's so amazing our spines may rapidly contract as a defense mechinism and tuck our heads neatly in our behinds. That's no way to go through life. Scared you'll implode and be up to your ears in cheeks.
I'm not asking you to stop watching, I just dont want to have to sit through clips of Bastard Idol every time I want to check the weather. Who decided realty was so great anyway?
P.S. I love your avatar orange.

I despise poor English skills among people for whom this is their first language. I, and many other people I know, refuse to read anything - online or offline - that's poorly written. I'm not trying to say that we should all write flawless, perfect blog entries, research papers, et cetera, but we should not be so lazy that we use "2" instead of "too/to/two," or ignore the rules for using apostrophes and other punctuation marks.

I biggest pet peeve is when people ask stupid questions like this on the Internet.

Real life: People that use Nextel Direct Connect phones in public with the speaker on. They yell into the microphone and for some weird reason they think that you, and everyone else, want to hear the entire conversation.

Internet: Incorrect usage of the words "your" and "you're".

Offline: phony, moody or rude people. Online, chain letters of any and all types, and habitual forwarders who keep on sending this junk when they should know better. Also when people sign into messenger with ridiculously long handles and their whole life story, or obscure song quote.
