    This bugs me too but it's so ingrained in Anglo society at this point I don't think we'll ever see the end of it. Not in our lifetimes anyway.

I'd much prefer people to say 'him and me are going to the zoo' than 'it's a photo of he and I.'

    Pet peeve - people who treat their pets like humans. No, they are not your child.

    Interesting to support your idea but women should be only allowed to drive microcars like this (and limited with 50 km/h) except for professionals.

    This way they slow the traffic down even more, hell no.

    I also hate cyclists using the road and public transport.

    Anyone who describes themselves as a 'furdaddy' or 'furmummy' or their dog/cat/hamster as a 'furbaby' should in my eyes be deprived of their civil rights and forbidden from voting.

    Also, yes, dogs are cute, but no, I do not want to see photos of your dog. I've seen him. He looks exactly the same as he always did. Why do you think I want to see another photo? Unless he's learnt to juggle I do not care.

    Last minute plan changes.

    Indecisive people.

    People who aggressively try to rush me.

    When I get all cozy to chill after thinking I've done all the chores and then remember I forgot to do something and have no other choice but to get up again to get it done.

    Messiness.

    People who are very strongly opinionated about things they have no knowledge about.

    Yup. But I bet that no English teacher would teach it in Poland! It also annoys me.

    Yup. I've seen plenty of mostly female owners who call their little dog per 'moja córeczko' - 'my little daughter' in Poland, cringe. It is though usually limited to small breeds, especially Yorkshire Terriers.

    The effeminate obsession with actors, models and 'celebrities', that extends to this forum.
