Pet Peeve!!

Hey guys.  Theme for the week anyone?  I decided that I would make it Pet Peeves.  So, If you have no idea what to talk about you can just ramble about some annoyance of yours.  It seems like a sweet deal to me, i personally like being able to rant without ranting at someone.  

Irony.  I HATE it when people say things are ironic when they are coincidences.  THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.  

If something can be classified as a "coincidence"  it is usually not "ironic".  

sorry about the short post but...this pretty much sums it up...
