"Irregardless."
Despite that 'irregardless' is now listed in the dictionary (because so many idiots insist on using it), IT'S STILL NOT A WORD. UGH!!

If you wore those pants on the train, don't sit on my bed!
I have a "bed thing," or a "CLEAN bed thing." The clothes that you wear out and about, those pants you wore on the bus or while you sat on the curb waiting, or that shirt you wore while you leaned on that TRASH CAN or dirty wall, CANNOT be worn when you sit on or in my bed. EW.

Forwarding email etiquette: Don't make me scroll down.
First, you receive a forward, which is already kind of annoying, and second, must scroll (read: work) past the annoying lists of recipients just to get down to the (probably stupid and erroneous) message.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
