wwjd = 4 letters, what would jesus do= 5 syllables. Haven't heard gw, can't disprove that one just yet. www = 3 letters world wide web = 3 syllables. My pet peeve is ppl like you who list a pet peeve that has NO actual merit or thought behind it.

— Mariah

Whoa there, Mariah. Why so antagonistic? "wwjd" has 8 syllables, whereas "what would jesus do" has only five. "www" has nine syllables, whereas "world wide web" has only three.

I would just like to take this random opportunity to jump on the band wagon and tell Mariah that she is an awful person, with low moral standing, lack of perserverance and she is awful at softball, driving and sex. Further more, I have evidence that she is a godless prostitute and kills babies to bathe in thier blood to keep here youthful looks. Mariah, you are a terrible terrible person.

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
