- Pregnant tummy touching. I think my need for personal space has actually increased since becoming a sacred vessel. Don't breach the perimeter! You might get an involuntary karate chop to the wrist!
- "RC Willey's," "Nordstrom's," "JC Penney's..." None of these stores actually ends in an apostrophe, s. Oh, and neither does your family's last name. Apostrophe, s indicates the possessive case. Not plural.
- Clueless drivers. This encompasses a whole bunch of behaviors, but mostly being unaware of everyone else who shares the road with you and/or not thinking ahead. Best to just stay in the right lane, out of my way.
- "I could care less." Just think about it for a second.
What are your pet peeves? Grammar snobs perhaps?

You crack me up! Sorry I'm one of those belly touchers, but I always ask first. It is kind of alarming when you're grocery shopping and your belly all of the sudden has a hand on it. I don't think I touched a belly untill after Kassidy was born though, so maybe it is the mother in me.
OOOH... I have pet peeves. AND will consider myself a grammar snob to all (even with horrible spelling).
1) On "The Bachellorette" snowboarder guy wrote on a pad "Your the ONE!" (Seriously? This is reason 114 I hate you.) Gross. I almost puked.
2) I have to agree "I could care less." I choose to say (just to point-out to people how wrong they are being) "I COULD care less, but it would take more effort so I am not."
3) Hanging parenthasis/quotation marks. I'll admit I've done it a time or two... but I've also spent many a minute looking forward in a book for the ending of a paranthetical or quotation mark.
4) "First Annual" anything.
5) Even people talking about strangers touching your stomach... seriously I'm going to start buying those shirts now.
I HATE "I could care less"!!!! I loathe that so vehemently! Look how descriptively I detest it!
Other candidates:
It's and Its
Your You're
random quotation marks
etc., etc., etc.
Must go meditate to relieve stress.....
And yes I did spell and grammar check this comment before posting.
ONE WORD:
IRREGUARDLESS.
Seriously.
biggest pet peeve at present: having a conversation with someone who can't take their eyes off my belly. hey, I know I'm preggo, but can you please look me in the eyes? And it's super bad when they try to do it surreptitiously...as if I can't see the fact that your eyes are darting between my eyes and my bulge! come on!
