When people don’t put full stops/periods at the end of their sentences.

Offline This might just be more of a misunderstanding than a pet peeve, anyways…
When record stores have all their records priced around 5$ to 18$, but once you get to the bin with the Beatles in it, the prices skyrocket to being between 15$ and 35$. I really love Beatles For Sale but I ain’t paying 35$ dollars for it!

Offline When people ask me permission for them to order something with meat in it when they go out to eat with me. I always tell them that they can’t but then they always do anyways. I just don’t understand why they ask if they’re going to do what they want anyways. I say no sarcastically, so I don’t really care if they get something with meat, but I don’t like that they think it would bother me.

Today’s pet peeve is brought to you from the National Egg Council:
I hate it when you boil an egg, then you try to peel it and the pieces of shell won’t come off cleanly, but end up mangling various parts of the white of the egg, leaving gouges. It’s such a contrast to those relatively rare times when the shell comes off perfectly, lifting up and taking that filmy part with it, while leaving the white of the entire egg all around plumply intact.

mmm is different. When he does it, it sounds like mmm. When anyone else does it, it drives me batty.
I guess it’s like your atrocious spelling, which I don’t even notice anymore (usually). Also he does indeed capitalise some things.

Ham, cheese, onion and sweetcorn pizza cold. Well it will be when its cooled down. Its roosting here in the west of Scotland, beautifully boiling, so hot food is out the window. Its so damn hot my dog game up the ghost after walking for 5 minutes and decided he was best off in the house so slowed completely down to a snails pace so we had to come back.
The impact and interest such posts as these give to this forum cannot be measured nor unstated (yes that’s right – unstated).

@Pineapple Records , et al.
That happens when they are overcooked. People often make the mistake of boiling them for about 10 minutes or so. Instead, place the eggs in the pan and then add enough water to cover them plus an inch. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pan from the heat, cover the pan and let it sit for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, promptly cool them by placing the pan in your sink and letting cold water run into the pan. Once the eggs have cooled, crack each egg from the top (you will notice an air space has formed). It’s usually easier to peel the egg while you are running it under a slight stream of cool water. Try doing just one for a start to make sure it comes out right – that way you don’t spoil the whole lot. If it still pits while you peel it, reduce the time they sit in the hot water by about 2 minutes.
And now, dear reader, you know more than you ever cared to know about boiling eggs.
And not once did I use the word eggxactly.

Offline Zig — Thanks for the detailed egg-boiling instructions — I was surprised to see that one doesn’t have to keep boiling an egg for minutes. All this time, I’ve been boiling my eggs for about 8 minutes! I’ll try your method soon…
