You're posting in a thread about pet peeves that SHOULDN'T be pet peeves. So either you were doing it correctly, or you actually think it's a valid pet peeve, in which case you were doing it wrong.

Your reply seems to imply the latter :P

It bothers me when people pronounce other people's names wrong even after they hear them say it, especially when it's an easy name (not some super foreign hard to sound out one).

Ah, I see. No, I didn't think it should be a pet peeve as it's very insignificant.

I have OCD tendencies about things I own, I want to keep them as new and as perfect as possible. Lately, with buying a new house, this has gotten much worse. Every scuff, scratch, nick on the anything bugs the shit out of me. I really need to let it go.

Have some kids. It will either cure you or cause insanity. Little feral humans running around destroy everything.

I taught my kid not to touch my shit, or other peoples shit ar a very early age. He is very respectful of this rule and 99% of the marked up or broken things that have happened, were not from him.

I am very much like @realazy in everything has to be perfect forever lol it's a bit of a curse

don't think this is horrible enough to go in the actual pet peeves thread, but i hate the people who try and throw their garbage out in drive thru's and miss and don't even stop or care that they just littered.......is it that hard to open your door and pick it up and actually get it in the garbage?!?!?!?

That lack of care doesn't only exist in drive thru's...

Cigarette butts out the car window (or anywhere else other than an ash tray) are the worst IMHO. People like that only think about themselves. I'd love to see a $1000 fine for littering or flicking a cigarette butt, since there is no excuse to ever do that and it affects everyone else - will never happen though. Hawaii has $1000 fines for littering and by the looks of things it's never enforced haha.

Being address by my last name, as if it were my first name, because they don't understand how Outlook formats contacts

+1 on this. No excuse for English-speaking people to make this mistake.

However some of global colleagues in India and Malaysia are actually reversed for some reason so i end up being the one calling them the wrong name

All Smurf's have the same last name. Smurf.
Don't call me Smurf, call me LilDrunken, or Mr. Smurf.

Except for those people with 2 first names (i.e. their last name is one that is typically used as a first name). Damn Nolan Cody or Cody Nolan, I still don't know if I ever called him by the right name

where i work it's always <lastname>, <firstname(s)> <department indicator> so if the email is right in front of you and you can clearly see the comma, there's just no excuse. I guess if the format is <given name(s)> <last name> then it could get confusing with those types of names

We get around this at work by referring to each other as asshole or fuckface.

I have 2 first names, and this happens to me all the time. It doesn't phase me when people I'm meeting for the first or second time do it, but gets a little annoying after that. The worst is via email. They can see my contact name, and my email sig. How do you ignore all of that.
