Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

Incorrect spelling and punctuation- I know some people think it is OK in texting but it shows abysmal ignorance and a lack of regard for other people. I am not referring to accidental typo errors in posts or messages but to advertise your ignorance this way.... I also see such things on commercial banners and signs. The worst, of course, is when I get a job application submitted in Word in which the misuse and and incorrect spelling items are underlined in red and blue, and the person has not even considered correcting the errors- in an application for an administrative position!
