Yesterday someone I know hit a pet peeve of mine so I thought it would be fun to make this thread. I did a search and didn't see one so I made my own.
One of my big pet peeves when it comes to cars/car forums is when people say bumber instead of bumper. I just don't understand it. People used to call it that on a forum that I was on for my last car. At first I thought maybe it was a language barrier but more and more I found it to be people who should know better.
I'm sure I have a lot more but let's hear what everyone elses are!

I personally hate it when people don't keep their money net, you know, all crumpled up inside their pockets and what not.

i hate it when people automatically assume I'm rich because I drive a bmw. Have these people never heard of used cars before? I paid as much for my e60 as some people pay for a new nissan altima and don't see people calling nissan drivers rich. Its all a matter of priorities, I rather drive a nice used car then drive a mediocor (spelling) new car. just my 2 cents.

Mine is when people copy a post and then three or four words. Makes for too much clutter, IMHO.
