People that use "tact" and "tract" when they mean "tack" and "track".

Like these two posts I found in this forum:

"Nostradamus does have a year, but it's more like in the 3300s. I doubt even he had the inside tract and could predict it to the exact year though."

"As funny as this would be, it's absolutely the wrong tact to take"
.

People who assume what is right or wrong for their own life should be applied to everyone else.

OK, sorry. Go ahead and say "tact" and "tract" if you want to.

People who chew with their mouths open.

Many, many, more, however I'm afraid I might get carpal tunnel if I attempt to list them all....

People who pound away loudly on their keyboards

Cigarette butts thrown on the ground-especially when they're on the ground next to an ashtray

People who fart in public places-so many adults do this and I just find it really, really gross

Listening to women walk in high heels-that clickety-clack sound drives me crazy

Flip flops are annoying too

Oh yeah, I wish I could squirt them with a water pistol like a cat.

People who post disgruntled comments, correct grammar, take pot-shots when the idea of a post is obvious- and believe that others will find it charming. It isn't.
