Two of my pet peeves on one place: using unnecessary quotation marks and using everyday as one word when it should be two. (For those who don't know, the only time you should use everyday as one word is when it is used as an adjective, as in "everyday shoes."
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

It kind of makes sense since "everyday" means "commonplace" or "ordinary", not "daily".
THAT is a good point. I just was going to comment that "everyday" is one of my absolute most favorite pet peeves.
That would seem to be the superlative of pet peeve, but it doesn't look right.
