Your pet peeves

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

- The term oriental : Nothing cracks me up more than when people refer to a person of unidentifiable Asian descent as "Oriental" Of course, it's not proper or polite or politically correct to waltz up to somebody and ask what their race is, but...people, I'm not "oriental", LOL. I'm Asian, yes. Not "oriental". I'm not a rug LMAO!

Okay, now you go! Post *one* pet peeve, please. Otherwise, we'd clog up this whole thread with petty, little annoyances, hehe.

Ha ha, you make me think what my son is complaining about . He is a Korean, but lots of people call him "that Chinese"... Makes him furious!!

Since I work in Samsung its sooo easy to get the race right, as they are ALL Korean, White, African or Indian.

My pet peeve is when people call me a Newfie or Korean, I'm neither!! People have to be retarded to think that I'm Korean!! (no offence, its just I look NOTHING like a Korean!). I'm Irish & Matee (sp? its when a Frenchman & native american indian have a baby, that baby is Matee). I've been told I have the Indian cheaks & my skin is very Irish (VERY pail skin, dad is a red head & has pail skin like me).

Some people need their heads checked!

No one can seem to pronounce my name either, it is Eva, Like the name Eve-ah. I get called eva, ava, and sometimes even eve, evie, ev-ie, lots of strange things. It's not even that uncommon!
My real pet peave though is when people stick extra apostraphies in places they DON'T belong, like, "In the 1970's..." or, "My sister knows her ABC's..."

BOP! BOP! This is me, bopping myself on the head for being dumb. I was about to agree with you when scrolling down, I noticed I placed an apostraphie in the wrong spot in my previous post! I put "cousin's" rather than "cousins" like I should have. I went back and corrected it now. BOP! BOP!

I do agree with you though. I really hate it out in public like on signs and other things. I just wonder why people don't spell check before posting signs and ads where people can see them.

My biggest pet peeve is when people mix up your, you're and there, their and they're.

[Roxyluvsme13]

When people say my name wrong/spell it wrong. It's Bri-Anna just spelled Briana. I get called Brieyonna, and grr I hate it. I can understand the spelling, but if its right in front of people and they STILL spell it wrong...

I was justttt going to post about that

I would say its and it's too but even I get those mixed up (besides, aren't they backwards from "proper" grammar? Like, "It's a nice day out" and "look at its tail!")
