I have two:
-I can't stand when people say "soda." It's POP.
-I'm from Waterloo/ Cedar Falls and it irks me to no end when people from Iowa say "WATERloo" instead of "waterLOO." I know the Belgian city is "WATERloo," but you're from Iowa, know it's "waterLOO."

When people walk on the left side of the sidewalk (or in my case skyway). Do they not notice they are constantly dodging people walking the other way?
Where you put the accent. The correct way to say the name of Waterloo, Iowa is to put the emphasis on the "loo" not the "Water" like the Belgian city. It's equivalent to the Madrid, IA/ Madrid, Spain and Nevada, Ia/ Nevada.
Hey, if it some day turns out that he wasn't going after Jews but instead going after open mouth chewers then I may have to rethink my stance on him.
Hmmm.. I honestly don't get it. When i say waterloo its just an even word. no emphasis.

Maybe azn is just confused because he's used to hearing it as Waterroo? :biglaugh: 
Touche sir. Touche.Maybe azn is just confused because he's used to hearing it as Waterroo? :biglaugh:
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.
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.
