    ((I don't know where to put this post so I'm just putting this here just to be safe))
    This is meant not to come out as Rude

    Mine is when people Refer to Disney World as Disneyland Orlando,
    Or MK as Disney World and Refer to AK Epcot and MGM as "Other Parks"

    I've heard people call Walt Disney world Disneyland before but never Disneyland Orlando. Stuff like that used to bug me but I don't care anymore. As long as I know what I'm doing and where I'm going I'm happy. I know with the traveling I've done I've gotten names wrong. I can't help calling Disneyland and Disneyland Paris parc both magic kingdom when I'm there.

    Hearing people say that they've never been or that they don't want to go.

    My biggest pet peeve is when WDW & Disneyland are referred to as "Disney Parks". But something tells me we could have an entire thread on that topic alone. Seems awfully familiar. Maybe something about grammar? I dunno, but yeah, "Disney Parks" is my biggest pet peeve.

    The phrase "pet peeve" first appeared in the early 20th century (1919). The word peeve is a back formation from peevish. Pevish, then peevish, originally meant perverse or capricious, but around 1530 was used as cross or fretful. Pevish is probably from the Latin pervesus, reversed.

    Pet (1508) does not only refer to an animal or child (teacher's pet) but also can mean small (as in petty) or....peevishness.(1590)

    So, Pet Peeve is actually a redundant phrase.

    Aren't you sorry you asked? ;)
