How about the unc fan that tells you that " I'll pull for Duke out of the conference." I respect the most disrespectful unc fan more than that fan when I hear that. No true die hard tar heel fan would ever pull for Duke. OFC
OT: Pet Peeves

Agreed. Would rather you tell me you'd root for the devil, only kind of pun intended.
"Like" is making a comeback from its nadir as Valley Girl superfluidity.
I heard a podcast on the "Quotative 'Like'" a year or two ago. That, for one, is a really, really useful use for when you want to capture the spirit of something more succinctly than through an exact quote. It serves the same purpose as paraphrasing. It's colloquial, but it has unspoken rules and consistency to how it's used, which gives it more validity in my book than strictly "incorrect" speech
Edit: Oh, I forgot to explain my color-coding. I have a pet peeve against the word "utilize." It's so unnecessary. "Use" will always do.

So annoying, trying to clean them up. No clue how to not have this happen but hopefully rivals is on it
It's interesting that the message boards here on DI seem to be the only message boards that have been effected by these spammers
People who say "well do you want me to be honest w/you?"
No.. No,please I have a real preference you lie...

Back to driving. When the car in front of you is driving slow so you go to pass them and they speed up.
It's a long story but I could have died because of one of those type drivers and he did it on purpose. OFC
In fact I have my Crocs on right now with a pair of footie socks on right now and it feels so good. Wish you could see me dbav.

That is one of my all time largest pet peeves, no man, just keep lying to me.

Exceptions can be made.
When someone delivers pizza driving a $30,000-$40,000 car. Where are you really getting your money?
Totally this - one of the first things I thought about - I don't mind slower drivers in the right lane (if not too slow) but slow traffic in the left lane is quite frustrating to me. If these drivers drove that way on the autobahn in Germany, they would get run off the road.
I'm not a grammar nazi, but one of my biggest pet peeves is consistently misspelled, common words. Particularly, the word, "definitely." Since message boards have developed spellcheck capabilities it has helped alleviate this issue but for years I've seen this word spelled, "definately" a thousand times over - used to drive me crazy.
Whoever said the shopping cart one was on the money, since I've lived in Michigan it's like an epidemic up here. A woman did it right in front of me and looked me in the eyes yesterday while she did it. Ughhh.
Thats not me as I haven't been able to stretch that far in 10 years.
