Re: Pet Peeves

People mispronouncing my not very difficult to say name (there are a couple of celebrities with it)!

Listen to what I actually say people, don't just say what you think it should be!!!

As a result, I now respond to anything that sounds even the tiniest bit like my name (old habits from being called to registers as a check out chick die hard).

You have to give your friends on WOOF a crack at it.

Good thread Suz. It might come as a surprise to all hear (yes, I did that on purpose), but I absolutely hate when our fans misspell our players names.

I used to be a spelling and grammar Nazi in general on forums, but I don't care about that so long as the post makes sense.

I always hold doors open for people. And I always will make a snarky comment if they don't say thanks.

Basically, anytime someone goes out of their way to help, and it doesn't matter how much, lack of gratitude drives me bonkers.

Why yes, I am a high maintenance validation whore, why do you ask?

Re: Pet Peeves

I hate the ever increasing use of then instead of than. It's especially prevalent in environments where ignorant bogans lurk, such as HS comments, big footy, and Facebook.

You normally see it in a sentence such as- Hes better then anyone in your team you stupid idiot!!!1!

Oh nothing much....just the entire world and every one in it.
Except for currently listed bulldog players and paid up members.

I'll have to introduce myself at the social club function in a couple of weeks to give you guys a go. I don't have a WOOF scarf for easy identification though!

I hate it when people I live with leave drawers and cupboard doors open. Can't stand it! Must be a mild form of OCD I reckon.

Also water on the floor drives me bananas! (Kids)

I recently travelled with someone who just kept leaving things switched on - lights, power points . . . . drove me nuts too!!

I also get peeved when people don't let you off the train, or out of an elevator before they try to get in. It's fun at Southern Cross station though when the footy crowd surges off the train & doesn't give them the option!!

Re: Pet Peeves

As an extension of this, slow drivers on one lane country roads who cause a convoy of vehicles behind them either refuse to pull over and let everyone past or speed up when we finally reach an overtaking lane.

I agree with that. If you've got someone up your clacker then it makes sense to move across at the earliest opportunity and let them get on with driving at whatever speed they deem neccesary.

I'll wear mine. You'll have to come up, introduce yourself and I PROMISE I will remember and pronounce your name correctly.

Re: Pet Peeves

People who walk their little white fluffy dogs without a leash. It drives me and my two Salukis crazy. One day my boys (who are always on a lead) will get hold of one and I will be the bad guy.

Re: Pet Peeves

'In regards to' does my head in. The correct phrase is 'with regard to'. Every single bogan presenter on SEN uses the former ad nauseum.

Conversely to that, I get annoyed when people have their dogs on lead but can't control them. My dog is never on lead (no, not a white fluffy one, and I don't live in the burbs) and is never out of control.
