I can't stand when people incorrectly use words like hear/here, to/too/two, there/their/they're etc. Like it makes me near ragey and I have considered unfriending people on FB who do it constantly! It's really not that difficult to figure out, it's basic English!

@lulu1180 A million times yes! I also hate when people get lose and loose mixed up. My pants are loose. I need to lose weight. Ugh! Drives me nuts when people are like, I am loosing my mind! No you are LOSING your mind. Ok rant over
I'm part of a Stitch Fix group on Facebook and I always want to comment with something snarky when people ask how to "peak" at what's coming in their box. I'm usually pretty laid back about these things for an English major, but that one gets me!
You guys are the first to know this, but I'm totally planning an April Fools' Day prank on DH! I'm planning to do one small thing every year so I will always be able to catch him off guard! Tomorrow, I'm going to put tape around the kitchen sprayer!

I secretly judge people who have sayings, inspirational quotes, etc. hanging or painted on their walls. I think it's so dumb and unoriginal. And the whole rustic/reclaimed wood fad needs to be over.
I secretly judge people who have sayings, inspirational quotes, etc. hanging or painted on their walls. I think it's so dumb and unoriginal. And the whole rustic/reclaimed wood fad needs to be over.
Maybe that's more of an UO, but whatevs.
Inspirational quotes make me ragey as well, but you'll have to pry my reclaimed wood from my cold dead fingers.
ETA: Burlap, on the other hand, needs to die a fiery death.
@LuND OMG yes so hard on the inspirational quotes on walls. I also hate it when wall quotes give obvious directions. Like when you go into someone's kitchen and it says "Eat" on the wall. Like, I get it. It's a kitchen, dude. I've done this before.
@LuND I agree with you! And not wanting inspirational quotes or stupid sayings all over your home makes looking for wall decor on a budget tough to do.
@kmalls to be honest, I have some reclaimed wood pieces in my house, but most are actually made from an old barn that my ILs own. But I'm getting annoyed at how EVERYTHING in Target and Hobby Lobby is fake reclaimed wood and everyone thinks that they're Joanna Gaines. It was an original trend about 5 years ago, but now it's just overdone.
Yes to all these grammar things! One that really drives me insane is "alright" instead of "all right." DH was an English major and tells me, "Well, now you can use 'alright' because enough people used it that it's become right" and I want to punch him!
Also I totally go back and see if certain posts of mine get love tits.
@LuND - for real though, I totally blame Joanna Gaines, too. I like her style, but she needs to switch things up a bit. Shiplap everywhere. (ps WTF IS SHIPLAP AND WHY DOES EVERY HOUSE IN TEXAS HAVE IT)
My name is Dilynne, and I have a road rage problem. I'm not scary going to get out of my car and beat you up ragey, but I will honk if you cut me off and probably swear at you. I've stopped giving the finger when someone aimed a gun at someone else in my neighbourhood for flipping them off.
@Dilynne@LuND SO road ragey here too! But also the least confrontational person ever. I also don't flip people off or yell out the window or anything because of the crazies with guns.
@Dilynne@luND@MJDSquared - I used to have so much more road rage. But then one day I was driving and someone cut me off really bad, so I honked and flipped them off as a swerved into the next lane and passed them. They proceeded to cut me off again and slammed on the breaks, almost forcing me to hit them. Luckily I was able to swerve again. They road in the lane next to me screaming for about a mile (speeding up when I sped up, slowing down when I slowed down). When we got to a red light, they proceeded to get out of their car and start to approach mine - I ran the red light and they got back into the car and proceeded to follow me. I ended up losing them in a neighborhood (when I was heading toward a police station). I even saw them driving up one way streets the wrong way trying to either get out or find me. It was super creepy. I've been very nice to everyone on the road after that.

@Tennis11785 So scary! If a car is behind me for too long, even if I never honked at them or anything, I start panicking that they're following me. Most of my road rage is just me raging in my car (sometimes I legit scream and yell lol) but if someone does something reeeeally stupid I might honk.
Today my light just turned green and then this semi decided to turn left in front of me anyway, which was annoying but I hadn't really started going yet so it was whatever. So then I start going and this other car turns left in front of me too when I was in the intersection! (Really hoping they had a flashing yellow arrow and didn't just blatantly run a red light, although either would be really stupid.) I was mad at myself for being so taken aback that I didn't honk.
So the kinda funny part of the story is once it was all said and done, we drove back to my house. I was in HS at the time and was with two friends. We told my mom, who asked if any of us thought to get the car's license plate so we could report it to the police. All three of us looked at each other and shook our head no. I pipped up saying "no, but I know it was a navy Crown Vic." My friend looked at me and said, "no it was a maroon car..." and the third friend said "ya both are crazy, cause it was periwinkle!"
So the three of us couldn't even agree to what the car looked like!

DH and I alternate dish duty. When it's my turn, I load dishes whenever I see them and run it the second it's full. When it's his turn, I purposefully put them on the counter because that's what he does when it's my turn and he needs to be punished for his laziness. It's not the most mature thing I've ever done...
It really frustrates me when people ask me to do something because they neglected to manage their time properly. For example, if a coworker asks me to do a stupid task that he/she could have easily done, but due to procrastination, it never got finished.

@kiki75 That reminds me of a scene on Friends when Joey is complaining about how Ross always corrects his grammar ("Whom, whom"), and he says "Sometimes it's WHO!" Because sometimes it's "and me"!

I don't know if this is really a FFFC or me just venting but yesterday an extended family friend made a really passive aggressive comment on a Facebook Status I posted (it was political) and I WENT OFF on her. I'm so sick of people constantly posting their unsolicited opinions. I know it's Facebook and that's what happens but she was just being an annoying troll and I'm over it. So after going crazy I decided to delete the entire post and I unfriended her. It may have been a little over the top but I don't care.
@JJMNO1616 Yeah... Facebook is quite literally the land of unsolicited opinions and advice. Your post in itself was an unsolicited opinion. It may not be the best idea to post politically charged things if you don't want people giving you their two cents. I'm sorry if she was being immature or passive aggressive about it, but IMO that's kinda what you should expect on FB.
@JJMNO1616 - I get that it's frustrating, but I think if you are going to put a political post out there, you need to be prepared for someone to challenge/argue/disagree. Perhaps that should be my UO, because I see people get annoyed when people counter their perspective on FB all the time. I think that by posting it, you opened the conversation about politics and you should be prepared for people to agree or disagree with you.
But I live in DC in an area that by default has all sorts of political conversations and we debate policies regularly. So that might also be part of my nature to engage in those conversations and expect to hear varying perspectives.

@LuND I know, I know... your totally right. I think what bothers me the most about this individual in particular is that she never comments on anything I post unless it's political. I also don't have a problem with someone posting a differing opinion. I actually really enjoy having discussions with people who hold different beliefs then I do but when the comment is basically "you lost nanna nanna boo boo go cry in a river you snowflake" it's not going to go down well. I agree though that I should just stop posting political stuff or accept that people are probably going to annoy me.
ETA- @Tennis11785 I'm totally fine with people disagreeing! I just wish people would be constructive. Having a dialogue is one thing but she was just antagonizing me and then when I responded she accused me of talking down to her and purposely using "big words" she can't understand because "I think I'm better then her". You posted on my FB trying to start crap lady!!
There's a woman I work with who I have very different political views from me. But she doesn't know who Betsy DeVos is (and we're teachers) or what the Keystone Pipeline is. But we're all "libtards" and all Muslims are evil (despite us teaching in a heavily Muslim school). When I officially get my new job, the first thing I'm doing is telling her off. Not because I disagree with her political views, but because she's an asshole.

@JJMNO1616 I can agree that unproductive, childish comments are infuriating. She does, in fact, sound like a moron lol.
That said, I've stopped posting much of anything on FB because the trend is definitely towards mud-slinging and less constructive discussions. At this point I use FB for lurking, pictures, keeping up with friends/family in other states, and cute animal videos lol.
