No one wants to see food being digested. I used to enjoy "Roseann," but I couldn't stand to watch her eat, chomping away with her mouth wide open while the camera was rolling. Ditto with "Raymond." No one Loves Raymond when he throws a slice of pizza into his pie hole and the camera focuses in on it rolling around inside his wide open mouth!
Okay, I'll calm myself...
There's also the total annihilation of the English language. (Damn I hope I spelled that right.) When did we lose the ability to mouth the words, "I said"? Now it's, "I go like." What does that mean, "I go LIKE"? And why did we adopt it?
Or how about "okay?" after every sentence? Or "you know"? I love my friend Cindy, but when she keeps saying, "you know," I respond with, "No, Cindy, I don't know." And she just looks at me with a blank stare. She has no idea that she says "I know" after every other word.
Okay, having registered my stupid idiosyncracies, I confess that they're all minor compared with the absolute worst of all: people who have no consideration for others. This one is more than a pet peeve with me. I will totally lose it around these people; my blood will boil, my face will turn bright red, and I'll see nothing but daggers. Hubby has to actually hold me back.
See how I am?

P.S.: And it gets worse with age -- oh yeah! I have SOOO much less tolerance. That old expression, "mellow with age" is a misnomer!
