my biggest pet peeve is when people use the word 'literally' excessively. my chem teacher uses it in every other sentence and i want to tell her to stop saying it every time.

God I know, it's so bloody annoying! It doesn't make sense anyway...they always use it in the context of 'she literally exploded with joy' or something and it's like...surely you don't mean that..because if so..mess.

Right now it's people who judge you by a reverse moralism.  In a way that is just as closed minded as traditional moralism.  I don't know if you call that a pet peeve but it drives me nuts because I'm actually neither.

^ I know what you mean, and I agree. Well I think I know what you meany anyway. . .like when pro-lifers think pro-choice is 'sinful' and then the pro-choice people think anyone pro-life is a naive religious person?

Absolutely!  Literally means literally.  If you don't mean it, don't say it.
