    Fair enough. I would feel the same if he hated on people for making wide turns.

    I grew up around that area and I never heard any problems with how people pronounced it. We used to pronounce it "STINK-town", though.

    I keed, I keed.

    Re: Pet Peeves

    People that clip their nails at work.

    People that drive in the passing lane.

    Hummers (the vehicles)

    People that have a license plate that looks like a rainbow because they don't realize they should put the stickers on top of each other. In my experience these are usually the worst drivers on the road.

    Parents that don't parent

    Toilet paper loaded the wrong way (underneath)

    Pants on the ground

    Loud cell phone talkers-Although I find myself doing this.

    Re: Pet Peeves

    People who get worked up over little things that don't matter. What's the point? Life's too short to sweat the little stuff.

    Re: Pet Peeves

    1) People who drink a small portion of their bottled water and then pitch it out the car window

    2) People who snowblow their driveway at 6 am on a holiday and then dont go anywhere.

    3) That one idiot in the office that comes to work all the time and makes you listen to those 100 decibel coughs every couple of minutes. Or the nonstop throat clearing...

    1. People who brake before the exit ramp on the interstate
    2. People who pass you and then go slower than you were going

    Re: Pet Peeves

    When highways go to two lanes and signs say slower traffic keep right. And the slow *** in front of you stays in the left lane. They should put another sign behind this one that says this means you stupid.
