Ducks get themselves into a row, they don't need your help.
I have a variety of pet peeves.
Mine is people trying to mix Poker or Craps with playing Roulette.
When a player catches a game winning touchdown, the commentator would say "he just hit a homerun."
The quarterback threw a strike.

I don't like when they show Tiger Woods, the commentator
breathes heavily and has to show every stroke in slo-mo
3 times. And Tiger is in 15th place.

I remember a commentator saying at a tennis match this was like a heavyweight championship fight with each boxer jabbing
and counter-punching, until he could deliver a knockout punch.
Forget the one players name, but her opponent was Chris Everett.

Pro tennis looks to be about the most brutal non-contact sport I can think of when it comes to punishing the body.
Not for nothing, but barfing out words for 3 hours, without a script, can be very exhausting.Quote: AceCrAAckersAnother pet peeve of mine is when sports announcers....

Not if your brain is engaged. These guys never know when to shut up, It's TV, not radio !
Quote: Mission146My biggest pet peeve is people asking, "How are we doing today?" as though I am qualified to answer for both of us.
This one bothers me, too. I usually respond with something that subtly suggests that it's a strange turn of phrase. Like: "Hmm...doing well on my end. You?" or "I'm doing great. But, you're at work. That probably sucks for you a little bit."

It really bugs me when people ask 'Are you OK?' Like
its any of your business. If I'm not OK I'll tell you,
meanwhile just worry about if you're OK or not.
