There are a couple though that outrank them all by far. Quite simply the worst one is lying...

Another one is lack of humility. I have come across so many people in my life and the ones I tend to stick with are the ones that are humble, modest and down to earth. It grates me to no end to see and hear someone constantly patting themselves on the back or seeking approval from others. Humility is one of the greatest traits a person can own.

I have to agree with you Sir Richard, both of these things are a biggie with me as well. Once you have fallen victim to a deliberate lie by someone else, it really does something to ya. As far as the being humble; very well put. I don't require or need pats on the back -just smacks on the butt on occasion

I was going start a thread to post this question to the group (pet peeves, that is), but since there already is one, I'll just reincarnate it, with apologies to anyone whose pet peeve is reincarnated threads.

Thing is, I'm getting fed up with people at work and stuff who misuse the word "literally" to describe figurative scenarios, as in "I'm literally up to my ears in it" when they are clearly standing free of any such It. Now, instead of just saying "literally" when I mean "literally," I have to rearrange my literal observations into such things as "in a literal sense" or some synonym like truly, really, seriously, when literally would have sufficed, as I do not want to be misunderstood as stating something figuratively when I do in fact mean to express it literally!

'kay? 'kay. Thanks for listening.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Well use of the word "loose" when it should be the word "lose" just drives me completely batty! I even saw it in a movie I watched the other day! Grrrrrr.....

Also misusing "dominate" when it should be "dominant" i.e. I am a dominate male. (I think if someone is going to call themselves a Dom, they should actually know what it is short for!)

(just makes me want to light my hair on fire and start screaming)
