Mine is the misuse of apostrophes, especially when making things plural.
Adding an 's to something implies possession of a singular or plural noun (example: the chameleon's plant, my veiled's tail, the lizards' cages), it does not however make something plural.
So you do not have chameleon's. You have chameleons.
You don't have cage's. You have cages.
You don't have supplement's, or multiple panther's, or multiple Ambilobe's, etc.

Oh, I hate it when people write only in lower case, no capitalizing anything!!
I hate those "security" stickers they put on music CD's and DVD's.
I hate slooooooow drivers!
I hate "childproof" anything!!

I’m pretty good at IDing and sexing chameleons but I’m not sure what a Veild Chameleon is.
I’m perturbed by:
Wobbly Chairs or Tables
That Dustpan Line
Vogon Poetry
Hangovers
Those are mild annoyances really. The scourge of my existence is Ziploc Bags. I will never ever ever ever figure out how to close one of those infernal things properly. Don’t tell me it’s easy because it’s not.

I hate when you go to use mustard or ketchup , and only get that runny stuff that makes your bread soggy !
I hate when people say "heighth". It's width and height!!
Or that their dog is "spaded". I want to ask "so when they spayed your dog did they also insert a spade, you know a little shovel?" Spayed is the past tense of spay! So she didn't get spayed-ed.

A few things that drive me insane....
When females wear open-toed shoes with unpainted toenails
over-plucked eyebrows
High heels at a sporting event

Or when the polish wears down to little hot pink half-moons...
Another few of mine are those occasional Pop-Tarts that come out half frosted and when the little tap at the end of my heels (which I do not wear to sporting events) comes off. Shoe repair places went away with cassette tapes!

I have extras in every size of heel I own just in case. More pricey than the mixed lots on amazon, but much better quality. When I lived in NYC, shoe repair places are on every corner - $6 bucks, 15 minutes, BAM! Fixed shoes!... not so common in the Midwest, unfortunately.

Now if you have a contact at Kellogg's who can assure me that they will implement greater quality control measures on their Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts...

I'm on it!
Edit: I don't know what you guys see, but on Tapatalk, the "grin" emoticon looks more like "constipated"! Makes me giggle every time

I have the same problem with my heels! It doesn't help that my dogs seem to find them irresistible and have chewed them off before. I just had to replace the tips on one of my favorite pairs yesterday, thankfully they're like new again. I would also never wear them to a sporting event lol.
It also irks me that because I'm a blonde dress-wearing girl that I get treated like the poor girlfriend that got conned into going to a Repticon show. I will get treated like an idiot by at least 1-2 vendors at every single show I go to lol. I don't know what it is, but some people see me come up and take photos of their animals and they feel the need to talk to me about their snakes or geckos as if they were talking to a small child, like, "this is a geee-cko, a crested geee-cko... look, they aren't slimy at all! They're so soooooft."
