I get very annoyed by words. You all know I despise wanTED. But I also get annoyed when my office mate says "AtkinSON diet" or Mr. McAlFIN instend of Mr. McAlPIN who is our superintendent. It irks me when people refer to Atlanta as HOTlanta or Chicago as ChiCARgo. My mother will find an article of clothing she likes and call it "unique" and I have to bite my tongue to tell her that it's mass produced and not likely to be "unique." Our history teacher in high school pronouced "Catholicism" as "CathoLICism."

Let's see what else: when someone exhales loudly after taking a drink; that women are able to pee on the toilet seats in public restrooms; if the roll of toilet tissue is backwards--if it rolls to the back and touches the wall; and, of course, the thing that annoys me most in the world is people who wear too much fragrance. If I can smell it 3 feet from you, it's too much.
