Everything bothers me...so a better question might be to name something that isn't a pet peeve.

But one that comes to mind: internet abbreviations. I hate when I'm reading a thread and someone uses an abbreviation and I no longer have a clue what they're talking about. I'm usually thinking, WTF is he saying (okay, I know a few of them). How difficult is it to spell out the words? Does it entail another eight seconds of typing?

+1 ....I accept WTF as a polite way of expressing it in polite company.

Barry...I am actually out here in West Boca (by 441), almost 10 miles from the ocean. Down here almost twenty years....Sheeesh! Where does the time go? It kind of limits the possibilites of stumbling on A great find around here as the area was still mangroves and swamps in T206 times. Now when I lived in New England....
