petty things that drive me nuts!
ok, they may be little things, but they drive me nuts:
people who call aluminum foil "tin" foil. Foil has not been made from tin since World War II.
people who call this- / -a backward slash. its a forward slash. That's because it leans FORWARD. This- \ -is a backward slash!
what about you? What drives you crazy?

Re: petty things that drive me nuts!
When people let their children misbehave in restaurants
When people throw their garbage out of their car windows
Junk mail....I usually stand by my recycle can and tear it all up
People that call me 'hon'...

Re: petty things that drive me nuts!
Spunky and Zeke, I'm with you on all of those! I have to laugh at the gum popping because I do that without thinking so I refrain from chewing gum in public. People laugh when I say that, but I recognize that I should only chew gum in private!

Re: petty things that drive me nuts!
just thought of another one...people who say "whenever" when they actually mean "when."
example: "whenever I was five years old"...when what they mean is "when I was five years old"---you were only five years old once. "whenever Taylor got up for work" should be "when Taylor got up for work."

Were you at a performance of Chicago? The song Cell Block Tango is all about things men do to piss their women off. 🎼He had it coming, he had it coming. He only had himself to blame🎼. One of the Merry murderesses sings about her man popping his gum.

Re: petty things that drive me nuts!
Another time in the theater, this woman put on her cell phone during the play.....supposedly to see the time. So my friend says to me, "I can't believe she has her phone on". So I said to the woman, "could you turn that off?" She objected and we had words. It got loud and a couple of the actors on stage looked over....and......my friend had a look toward me like "do I know you?"
We had a good laugh later but I'll never stick up for anyone again!!!!

Re: petty things that drive me nuts!
cell phones in theaters! good topic Zeke.
I think I posted this one a few months ago...I was in the movie theater and there were just a few people. A woman a few rows back and a few over was talking on her phone the entire time! I gave her the stink eye a few times to no avail, so I finally got up and moved a few rows behind her. I could still hear her but it was not as loud.
why would someone spend all that money for a ticket and then spend two hours talking on the phone???
