Consider this your first warning.
- Bad grammar
- Tapping fingers on a desk or table
- "Cammo" as a fashion statement
- When people tell me something I already know
- Using the word "y'all" more than once in a sentence. (really, using it at all bothers me, but I'm trying to be reasonable because I live in Alabama...)
- When people tell me I'm a yankee because I grew up in St. Louis
- When people suggest that I do something I am already in the process of doing
- When people are fans of a college sports team, and they have never attended said college
- Unwarranted advice
- Putting emphasis on the incorrect syllable of the word "guitar" (GIT-ahr instead of gi-TAHR)
- Arrogance
- When people pretend the know more than they really do instead of just asking a question
- When people won't answer a question
- When I am mistaken for a student, or a teenager
- Micromanaging
- When people haven't read the book, but they still go to see the movie
- When people find out I'm a musician and feel the need to inform me of their experience playing the clarinet or flute in middle school band
- Small talk
- Lists of pet peeves
oops I probably said "y'all" a hundred times on our trip to IKEA. I don't mind the word but it drives me crazy when people spell it wrong!!! ya'll instead of y'all. learn contractions!!!!
