I just wanted to say that those who are still confused by the "there, their, and they're situation", and those who incorrectly corrected the original poster, here's a handy dandy way to remember these.
There = location. Over there. We went there for lunch
Their = possessive. It's their game. I went to their house
They're = they are. They're going to the game with us.
So please, follow this easy to use method. And don't incorrectly correct people. It's rude...and a pet peeve of mine.

Bass players who play with a pick.
Now wait a minute, I said just wwwwaaaaaait a minute there, Guitar Dude. I resemble that remark. I use a pick sometimes. Not often. But sometimes it's the only way to get that feel you're looking for, especially when there's no other guitar player in the band.
By the way, one of my favorite bassists, Chris Squire, of "Yes" uses a pick.
Yeah, I do take back my previous support of that belief. Sometimes there is a place for bassists to use a pick. I think the dude from Manowar uses one for his ridiculous solo! Although, I think that they should be able to switch between both. Same for guitarists. Although, I've never gotten into growing out my nails to use for fingerpicking. My guitar teacher does that, but it's not my thing.
Also, finger tapping solos are awesome!!!!!!!!!

"there" is a direction not a possessive. it would be similar to saying "People who don't use "under, over, around" turn signal or use it after..." Quote:

I know someone who places an "s" on words where no "s" should ever be...anywheres, somewheres, nowheres. For me, it's equivalent to nails on a chalkboard.

So it’s agreed that the following statement:
People who don’t use there turn signal or use it after they are already turning.
Should actually be:
People who don’t use their turn signal or use it after they are already turning.

My old boss always said cent even if was plural. She would say One Dollar and Fifty Cent (Hum maybe she was really into rap and I didn't know it )

My biggest pet peeve is when my honey dips the knife into the peanut butter first, and then the jelly while making sandwiches. I don't like peanut butter and he is contaminating my jelly supply with peanut butter flavor!  I keep trying to just buy him his own jelly...but somehow the problem persists...
I have the same problem in reverse...I hate jelly and my kids were ruining my peanut butter with a jelly covered knife. Buying squeezable jelly solved my problem...
Squeezable jelly is the best.
And I must agree with the courtesy wave thing. I HATE that! The least you could do is give me a little wave!
I also hate it when people say Valentime's Day.

Okay here are mine, and I'll probably come up with a couple more later....
1. It's Nordstrom, not Nordstrom's
2. Chewing with your mouth open
3. Guys that breathe too loud *Please refer to the Dating Problems thread**
4. Any kind of slurping, sniffing or constant throat clearing
5. Slow drivers in the left lane
More to come later, I'm sure....

Angelina darling...My great aunt purchased a home from the Nordstrom family many moons ago. The son of the then top Nordstrom (it was a family owned store) was kind enough to come to the property and burn down the home, then return when she rebuilt and burn down the next one. We refer to Nordstrom as "Nordstrom's" because it's the Nordstrom's store in our mind still...and we feared the little match lovers for many years so...Nordstrom's is a proper title for the store...but maybe only if you know the darned family

Dawnie - once again, way to much information about your family - trust me, no one cares about your family peccadilloes.
_X_, quit picking on Dawnie. Obviously, you have a personality conflict with her, but the rest of us are sick of hearing about it. She has as much right to discuss what she wants as you do to list every little thing that ever bugged you in life. And yes, I understand that this post is hypocritical.
