I hate when people say "their" when they mean "they're," or "your" when they mean "you're" etc.... That just bugs the f*ck out of me.

My biggest peeves are reserved for the requests for help which go something along the lines of, "I just started up my car and now it's doing weird things. What's wrong with it. Thanks." No information about the car which might actually help in a diagnosis is given. Then, naturally, they are pissed because no one posts to help them out.
Oh, and "I like pie".

You missed the second "they" in your sentence. It says, "when THE mean" instead of "they" mean. You got it the first time. Funny. LOL!

I have to admit, I have been guilty of a few of those myself. 75% of the typing I do at work requires me to be in CAPS LOCK mode and I am too lazy to take it off when posting on the forum.

I have 2 peeves: people taking pictures of themselves standing on top of there boxsters, lol jk.
Only 1 peeve really. Its the lack of a spellcheck, sometimes I type really fast and keys stick or i miss a key or hit the key beside the intended key and I come off as a baboso (spanish for gruleing idiot) on the forum.

It was not on the poll, but mine is everyone using the quote function replying to the original thread. I have never seen it over used like it is here!
If you are replying to the original post, no need for the next ten people to put the original post in quotes!!
