I thought I was the only one to know that H is pronounced aitch. Nice to know I'm not alone. Vivienne

Joy that realy gets me as well. I usually end up ramming them out of the way. Also hate when people don't say thanks for holding a door open for them (I think that they think I am a doorman). Spud

NICE ONE. I just hate it when people say nice one instead of thank you. I tell them that if I scored the winning goal at the Fa Cup final from 30 yards that would be a nice one, when I do something for you it's thank you. I get some odd looks but it really winds me up. (Or am I getting old) Chris

My pet peeve just might start the 2nd War of Independence. I hate watching Americans hold their fork like a javelin whilst attempting to cut through a slice of meat.

Noisy neighbours, false 'friends', being lectured, and ill-mannered people. That's a start. I'll compile the rest of the list later! LOL >*|*<

Mine is silly really but it so gets on my nerves. I hate getting into a warm bed. If my other half goes to bed before me, woe betide him if he happens to have rolled over and made my side all warm. LOL I wake up as many times a night to turn the pillows over to the cold side too. Daft I know, Christine

Bob, At last, someone on my wave length! We get our children's feet measured regularly and more often than not one takes an H fitting. When I try to get H fitting shoes I always have to deal with sales people who pronounce it 'H' not 'aitch'. When I say aitch they continue to say 'H' as if I must be wrong. It makes my blood boil. Another pet hate that is shared with my husband, who is a teacher, is when tv presenters don't seem to know when to use the words amount and number or fewest and least. They talk about 'less people' instead of 'fewer people' or the 'amount of people who vote rather than the 'number of people' who vote. It really grates when it is so obvious to me. I also hate the words ' empower' and 'proactive' with a passion. Louise
