OMG, my mother would always say "Do you have LSD in the food, I'm a heart patient, I can't have LSD." Of course she meant MSG.

I agree Salpal. Treating ANYONE like they are your personal servant makes me want to scream and hit or at least silently gnash my teeth.

I think that many are not exposed to the vernacular that others are used to. I was always thanked by people and was taught to say you're welcome. Taught the same to my kids.

Good manners are so nice because it makes you appear nice even if you are mean as hell.

Good manners teach you restraint and make you act like you care for others.

Being exposed to Life for a long time SHOULD make you care for others. I ponder about that a lot.

I hate it when I see cars in a parking lot that are not in the middle of their parking space. Do they not see or know the purpose of the white lines? Or perhaps they lack spacial judgement? Or they just don't care? Come on, learn how to park!

Dang, I should have thought of this one.. I really complain when I see a car straddling a white parking line.

My pet peeve is related to the litter thread -- one (or maybe more than one) of my neighbors here in suburban Chicago throws his or her cigarette butts into the grass next to my driveway or onto my driveway. About twice a week I am disposing of the cigarette butts. Don't know who it is because I don't see the culprit, but how disgusting.

People who know me know that I do not swear (period) well maybe in my mind but it was instilled in me when growing up, My mother would be emphatic about not swearing in mixed company. imagine my shock when I learned that women used swear words I never knew existed.

Bad language is so common place today that even so called G movies contain such words. It has gotten so bad that if one redacted every bad word in a typical young person's conversation it would result in silence.

I hate saying "I hate"..........

To expand on the grocery cart in the parking lot situation - it really peeves me when I have finished unloading my cart and am about to take the cart to the corral and someone walks by on their way to the store and never, ever, ever offers to take it for me. My goodness you're going that way - grab someone's cart. Arghhhhhh.

I do that a lot. You and I have just never met at the right moment

Perhaps that person is only picking up a few items and doesn't need a cart?? It would be nice for someone to take it back for you but it isn't their responsibility to do so. It would be an act of kindness on their part.

When people blow their nose at the table....any table. It was unheard of years ago and now it's a common event. Talk about ruining everyone else's meal.

Me again. Z trial..
Six Women must decide; the words are getting under my skin. It's like a movie with a catchy number in the title. The Dirty Dozen. It just wouldn't roll off the tongue to say Four men and Two Women must decide.
Just say "the jury" or if you're Anderson Cooper say,"the, the, the jury"
OK to pm me if offended. I'll apologize but still hate AC as a broadcaster.
