<br>People who misuse the word "entitled." It means you deserve something, people. It doesn't have anything to do with the title of anything!

Signs with quotes around words that don't need them. "Fresh" bread, for example. I'm not eating it, because from what you're implying, it's 2 months old (at least).

Your, you're. It's not hard.

To, two, too. Learn the difference!

There, their, they're. Also good ones to know.

"Irregardless" of that, let me "axe" you a question... Don't you also hate overused cliches?

Don't get me started on bad grammar and misspellings. Particularly if it's just sloppiness or rushed writing mistakes. Argh!
I am the grammar queen. My mind has a permanent red pen at the ready !

Here is what annoys me

I can never eat chips or any kind of snack that comes in a back right out of the bag, the first person to stick their grubby hands in the bag ruins it for me. I always put my snack in a bowl of some sort, but what even pisses me off more is when they lick their fingers and put their hands back in the bag, [xx(]

Another thing that annoys me is "Are you going to finish that?" like, WTF? you just ate and you want more ... I never understood that.

Girls with hairy arms annoy me but I think that just disgusts me more

Crooked teeth, how could you kiss someone with a tooth stuck up in their gums, ew! I hate looking at people with messed up teeth

Soap operas annoy me!

<br>My wife has had a very close friend since kindergarten. She annoys me like no other human on earth, even more than Tom Cruise's fake laugh, Donald Trump's hair, Jared in those Subway commercials, Al Sharpton at a police brutality rally, or a Filipino armed with too many emoticons. [;)][}:)][:o)]

Speaking of Jared in those Subway commercials, I actually used to work with a guy who looked just like him, and was about 100 times more irritating.

Hmmm, I think you're wrong, dear.[:I] It does have something to do with a title of 'something'. "The movie is entitled ... "

LOL. I just scratch my head when I see errors like that. At least, I don't have to edit every typo I make around here knowing there are people who wouldn't even know the difference.[;)][:o)]

Harleytexas, check out the nearest ATM 'machine' in your area. [:D]

Eh, I'm going off my AP Stylebook, which I irritating apply to life outside of work.

Entitled. A right to do or to have something, not a
synonym for “titled” or “called.” “The employees
are entitled to receive benefits.” “The book is
titled ‘The Associated Press Stylebook.’”

I see.

I can only search online to double-check that it is NOT WRONG to say "The book is entitled... " [:p]
