What are your Pet Peeves?

Mine is those who use "am" instead of "I'm". It really pisses me off.

What's yours?

Mine is the improper use of they're, there and their.  

People touching my pens. I feel like their body oils seep under my skin when I use my pen. :S

I feel you Sister. It gets me really upset every time people use them incorrectly and i have to bite my tongue from correcting them.

Oh geez - that's also my pet peeve. I can always feel my head exploding whenever people use the wrong one. The worst part is I still have to politely smile, and try not to be too pedantic.

Plus one for this...haha. In addition, it's a sore in my eyes when I got to see people using "kong" instead of "kung" and vice versa, in our language. One is possesive while the latter is conditional. Example...

1) Ang anak KONG bunso ay mabait.(My youngest child is kind.)

2) KUNG maganda ang epekto sa aking kalugusan, bibili ako ng produkto. (If the effect is good for my health, I'll buy the product.) 

improper use of "your" and "you're" 😂

Right sis. And we wonder whether it's because the student lacked focus or other factors caused it.

Right, meifeng. It's like an itch that you have to endure from scratching.

Omg, edz. It's frustrating that people nowadays fail to understand the difference between kong and kung.

Not Language related but mine includes people who walk sooo slow (they're usually on their phone) in the middle of a busy street/corner/corrider/alley/pedestrian, aisle,etc.. and those that suddenly stop (while walking) without taking consideration/not minding the people behind them. Whenever this happens, I'd tell the person "EXCUSE MEEE" in a loud, sarcastic tone. Lol

It's okay to "lava walk" in a not-so-busy street, but not in a crowded place. It's irksome for people whose time is gold. :)

Especially if he/she is a young individual talking to an older person, right? That was one of my pet peeves too.

True! Oh, please no. Hahaha

Ok completely random, but when I was younger I never understood the phrase "pet peeve". 

What's the origin of the word/phrase? Like.."pet"...why is there a "pet" in the phrase? I don't get it :/
