So what are our biggest pet peeves here in Augusta? We all have at least one. Well, odds are you have more than one, but there's always one that you consider your biggest one. Just as we normally do, we decided to ask you. Your phone calls and Facebook comments were excellent as usual.

Our conversation started when I said my biggest pet peeve was when people don't put their buggies back in the proper place at the store. You see it almost every day! People will leave their buggies within ten feet of the buggy return. They'll leave them in the middle of the parking lot, and that just aggravates me like crazy.

Cody had a good one as well. When you're in a drive-thru, odds are it's somewhere you've been before, know what you want when it's time to order. At Chick-fil-A for example, you know what they've got, their menu doesn't change very often, be ready when it's your turn to order! You're holding up the line!

As usual, y'all were pretty passionate about this topic. We got everything from being prepared in the car drop-off line at school to just letting your kid throw a temper tantrum for 15 minutes in a store or restaurant. If you want to check out all of the Facebook comments we got, you can see them all here.

These are some of our biggest pet peeves here in Augusta.

Chewing With Your Mouth Open

This was by far the most common pet peeve. C'mon y'all its not that hard right? Just close your mouth when you chew!

Driving Slow In The Fast Lane

This one is when you really need Jesus to keep you in check. I don't think there is a person alive who doesn't get upset when the person in the fast lane is going just as slow as the person in the slow lane!

Someone Using Speaker Phone In Public

We don't need, nor do we want to hear your conversation while we're walking down aisle 6 at Kroger. If you must use the phone in public, use it normally. Please and thank you!

People Who Don't Use Their Blinkers

They come free with the car! It doesn't cost anything to use your blinker!

Being Rude To Your Server At A Restaurant

It's really not that hard not to be a jerk. Most servers work very hard, and even if they're having a rough day, give them a little grace and understanding will ya.
