So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.

*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*


Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.

"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "

Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?


Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)



Just something that's always bothered me.

Getting the feeling you don't like ANYTHING related to snow, Crunchman. Although, I really understand that last one. C'mon with the Jamaican accent, dude - YOU'RE CANADIAN!!! Reality check, Aisle 3 please... (Hoot!)

It peeves me when someone pulls out in front of me when I'm driving, making me brake, and then proceeds to drive 5 miles below the speed limit... what's worse is when I see that NO ONE is behind me, therefore that idiot driver COULD HAVE waited till I passed and then pull out and drive slowly.

People who leave supermarket trolleys in car parking spaces.

Pigeons.

Multiple exclamation marks - mind you, that's not new, look at Queen Victoria.

Men on trains who think it's OK to elbow me in the side because they're reading a newspaper.

Anyone who doesn't get the fact that using headphones is supposed to mean that other people can't hear what you're listening to. Or doesn't care.

Parents who think it's fine for their child to repeatedly kick the back of the seat in front (often found on planes and in cinemas).

-------------------

Thank you. I feel better now.

Cordelia, that last one REALLY peeves me! Or how about parents who let their children scream and cry in a restaurant without removing them so everyone can eat in peace? Really rude! (One exclamation mark)

You have touched on a good one, both of you. Then there's the parents who not only do all of that, but expect the staff to watch after their children, after all the parents are out for a night to relax.

And then, when they're done ruining everyone else's dining experience... they all go to the movies. Oh, JOY!
