But a lot of the same people have no compunction about spitting. Eeeew! (Like, at least spit into the garbage or bushes or somewhere out of plain sight.... :P)

UGH!! Spitting is so nasty to me. Small town here---I go to the same gas station all the time---why do guys spit right on the concrete??? I think--can't they just swallow instead of spitting where I might step in it?? It's disgusting.
A couple of days ago I was walking from the parking lot to go into a small store in town. I saw a little boy--about 7 or 8--open the door just a bit, spit, and go back in. I was so hacked---then I saw that he spit out a big wad of gum---smack dab in the doorway. OMG.
So I knew that gum was there. When I left, the door caught it and pushed it back. That little sucker -- I'm just happy I didn't step in the gum.

I have to add lying also. I'm very honest and have found I have to curb that, watch what I tell people. I will not lie except to protect myself. There are times when that is absolutely necessary.

There are just too many to name. I'm REALLY surprised that homophobia and bad drivers are not listed and tall/short people are??? I hate homophobes as much as racists and murderers, but whats wrong with tall or short people??

She'll say "I'm off to see ma ma'e Ka'ie, see ya la'er", and I reply "Who's Ka'ie?" ... "ah Shu' up mum!"
It make me want to pull my hair outtttttttt!!

This is the first time I heard someone talk that way and yes, it does sound kind of annoying.

This almost sounds like she's developing a Cockney accent Susie. Don't they often drop the "t" sound in East London?
Anyway, I drive my out of town relatives nuts because I tend to stick an "r" sound where it doesn't belong. I say "warsh" instead of "wash". I also pronounce the short "u" sound differently in certain words. I say "poosh" instead of "push". But these are typical Indiana speech patterns, so it's not MY fault! ;)
Susie, you're daughter's accent sounds charming. I'm wondering if this might be a fad some kids are doing over there right now, and it's considered cool to speak with a Cockney accent? Maybe she'll stop doing it when she gets a bit older, but it sounds very cute to me! :D
