Not a pet peeve, but still annoying. I now add to my threads to notgive BS advice like that.
Awkward silence is one of mine. It flat out scares the shi* out of me. Even when it's not awkward, it always seems weird at school.
High pitched noises.
Repetitive banging noises. I could never be a construction worker.
Breathing sounds in songs.
Rap music videos.
Punks/Skateboarders(most), I don't know why though.
Boring Science teachers. If they're not random/eccentric, I'll fall asleep.
Gossip. Has anyone ever started a rumor about yourself? It's fun, I promise it doesn't backfire.
Cheaters.
Piccolos and solo violins. High pitched!
My own grammar when posting on forums.
b***h <<<<Missing an asterik
Boy bands.
Hypocrites, doesn't everyone hate these?
Songs with a generally uplifting and positive message (unless Christian
).
Japanese Pop and Happy Hardcore Techno.
Cous Cous...African rice...really bland...
My computer.
High strung/uptight people.
Flourescent lights when blinking.
Myself.

The one that drives me crazy is lose/loose. I just don't understand how people can confuse the two of them.
These two words are often mixed up because they are homophones. Inconsistent spelling is a trait of English language that makes it especially vulnerable to such mistakes. Please direct your anger at inhabitants of 15th century England.

Be yourself? Am I the only one who thinks
this is the most worthless thing you can say
to someone? Who else can you be? If you're
a sad loser who copies what everyone else
does, then that's who you are, a sad loser
who copies what everyone else does. Telling
someone to be themselves usually gets a wistful
nod, then they go on doing what they've always
done because it means nothing.

But seriously, part of it is! The ones to whom are
sincere to you will have seen most of your quirks
and will be able to see pass them on your first date!
I doubt a Zoink! of Boinga-Boinga! will happen, but
in time a romance will form with acceptance, partial
honesty of being yourself. It is, as you suggested
allowing phase by phase revealings of your quirks!
A little mystery goes a long way!

And what about how every single pop singer in
the entire world describes their music as modeled
on being yourself? Isn't that a bit ironic? Being
yourself must be pretty lame if all you ever do in
life is copy what high-selling artists have done.

Rock/Pop stars come and go, and you are stuck
or accept yourself! Superficialness will come and go!

Grammar mistakes
One of those peeves I wish I didn't have. I can
immediately spot a spelling or grammar error, and
it drives me crazy when it's blatant or if it's repeatedly
used. I'm usually good about not pointing them out
since I know people hate it when I do. But I have to
say, not much gets me more aggravated than seeing
someone writes "it's" in the possessive form. Agh.

You are correct, but no one is perfect and the
acceptence that if you go to other sites their are
SERIOUS spelling errors and that the way it is.
Hmmmmmmm?

I am doubly more aggitated with people I have come

nasty at a earlier date of posting this week.
It has been resolved here, but always present in
the physical world I live in!

1. TAILGATERS
2. ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS
3. SMOKERS (in my space)
4. THOSE ACTIONS WHICH I DEEM ILLOGICAL AND IDIOTIC (often,Tailgaters, Republicans, and Smokers all fall into this category as well)
