The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsQuickly Becoming Pet Peeve #1
A couple years ago I shouted out my biggest pet peeve: loud eaters.
Blech!
But, more recently, after seeing it time and time again misspelled online, I'd have to say that mistaking the word "lose" for "loose" is fast becoming pet peeve numero uno.
Seriously, people! "Lose" means to misplace or be without something, and "loose" means something that is not tight (kinda like Britney, or was that Lohan, or maybe Paris. I don't know, you decide - they're all the same to me).
Burn it into your brains, do anything, just don't mix them up again.
AGH!

I've noticed that a lot, too. Very annoying.

Also not fond of irregardless. Maybe it's come into use, but it's still not right.
And the parking thing? I was once behind a Tahoe trying to fit into a HUGE spot, but the driver had no idea of what her space was and it took her 15 minutes to park. Of course by the time I realized that this was going to be an ordeal, there were four or five cars behind me and I couldn't back out.
