My Pet Peeves, is those who don't check here search.php?search_id=active_topics
just to see if there is already a thread about what they are about to start.

This aimed at Castanet Posters who post without looking first.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

What about people who start a thread about a somewhat obscure news story without providing a link or even a clue, just making a bunch of comments like we're all supposed to know what they're referring to?

My pet peeve would be chemtrail CTers telling stories that they cant back up. As a group they dont even stick to one theory, they are scattered all over the place with answers that paint one picture and answers that paint another and another and so it goes. For a group of believers they are not even close to holding the same story, depends on what freak they Follow or what mother of two they saw in the US telling them there is something happening up there cos she seen it with her own eyes while picking her potatoes from the garden.

They have all the answers to everything, tons of versions even yet they cant answer one question, "Who'd poison their own air and water supply to hurt others?" Ok two questions, "why wouldnt them mass killers target a source they themselves would know to avoid?"

Understandable in war time where one country might poison the air and water of another country they are fighting but where would you find people stupid enough to attack their own sources to get a Job done?

Ok I cant really call this a peeve I guess because its kinda fun knowing peeps can be this dumb, and now for something completely different,,,, a fake letter, from 2 city halls, oh man this is gonna be good,,, talk about terrorism right at your back door. Oh well, hopefully most know now to read it if they must and laugh it up at the water cooler at work, its a good topic to joke about.

People who think that every abominable thing they see is wrong but are not willing to actually do something about it.

Well, ok, we can discuss it. Maybe complain about it online. Heck, maybe call 911.

If you don't like it DO something about it!

Today's pet peeve: when people share those "pictures" on Facebook that have obvious spelling mistakes. The latest example:
