A true peeve (as opposed to many of my others which are just temporary gripes/complaints whines...)
Those damn cell phones that chirp every 4 min (or whatever) when there is a message waiting... what idiot came up with this idea??!! Like cell phones aren't annoying enough... or alternatively people with "toys" that don't know how to work them correctly because they are too busy to read the directions... (or maybe that is one in and of itself).
