    I personally cannot stand it when people show PDA. Or how when someone smokes in front of me. Gross! Or how about when people don't cover their mouths when they cough.

    What about you? What are some of your biggest pet peeves?

    Botched pronunciations of words. For example, saying "ex-presso" instead of "es-presso." Saying "pacifically" instead of "specifically." Using "ex-etera" instead of "et cetera." And generally sloppy language... I mean, if one cannot tell the difference between your yes and no, it is time to work on your words. Indistinguishable noises and regurgitated colloquialisms... For God's sake people, read a book.

    Phrases which are said wrong, or improper grammar are also irritating. One phrase particularly being "I couldn't care less." People tend to say "I could care less," which makes no sense if you actually think about what you are saying.

    Overused idioms:
    It will all pan out, get back in into gear, touch base with you, fly off the handle, hold your horses, too big for your britches, two peas in a pod...

    Useless tautologies:
    It is what it is. It will be what it will be. I am what I am.

    People expecting you to take their opinion as gospel truth. He said she said gossip circles. Small talk. Insisting I smile at everyone. Hugs.

    Well... My list of annoyances makes me look like a jackass. Suffice to say I'm less endearing in real life. That said, I will correct your grammar.

    People who are sick and expose everyone else to it- this one comes from having a somewhat compromised immune system
    Potty jokes and crude talk
    Cussing. Everyone cusses now and then but it sure seems like there is a lot of people anymore who can't go three words without using the f-word.

    Hmm... Barking dogs, overly saggy pants, confederate flags, loud car music/neighbors, proselytization, archaic stereotypes, "twerking" children, stains/folds getting on my art, etc...

    When people you live with leave empty packets of biscuits in the cupboard. Stereotypes. Bad drivers.

    I don't like PDA either. Or people who talk about their love life/sex life too much. I also can't stand texting while driving, people that change the topic too quickly without paying attention to what you said, constant gossip/people-talk (venting for advice is ok), people that put their animals in poor living conditions (especially fish with the terrible tank set ups they get), and so on.

    People who always are trying to show off to look better than someone else, people who try and make mental health issues a competition, and people who take their bad day out on the people around them.

    1. Slow drivers in the left lane
    2. People who take things out of the microwave before the time runs out and don't clear off the remaining time
    3. When sports announcers say "he's out with a knee" instead of "he's out with a hurt knee" or "he's out because of his knee."

    I have a few pet peeves such as:

    Personal Hygiene...I will be the first to say that I am pretty much OCD when it comes to my personal hygiene.

    Rudeness is another one...I think its very rude when someone calls you and they have multiple conversations going on with individuals in their house all at the very same time. What matters worst is when you tactfully present a way to tell this individual to go ahead and take care of the conversations that are going on within the house and give you a call later when their time permits and yet..they get an attitude with you as if you are in the wrong.

    Talking over you or trying to finish your sentence...I hate when someone ask you a question and then they interrupt you while in the middle of responding by taking that response an assume that you are saying something else. Where as if they just take the time to let you finish and listen that this would avoid issues at all cost with assuming. As with trying to finish your sentence which I find really inconsiderate as if they actually know what you are going to say and yet..they are dead wrong in assuming again.

    Someone who chews like a sloppy cow. People who don't turn the TV down at night when it's blasting through your walls. People "forgetting" about plans for any number of reasons. Slow fucking people walking 4 shoulders wide down a hallway. Try to pass them and they shift over and block you.

    People who walk too slow in the hallway or walk directly in the middle so no one can get around them. Also, when people cut in halfway through you're talking. It's so annoying

    Excessive throat-clearing is one of mine. You don't need to clear your throat that often, trust me. Once I notice it, I can't not notice it and any hope of concentration I wished to achieve has flown.

    People who say "whom" when they mean "who"--interestingly people who say "who" when they mean "whom" don't bother me so much.

    I can't handle it when people say things like "libary" (library), "expresso" (espresso), and "tempature" (temperature). Also, I can't deal with bullies or put downs; it's the teacher in me. Leave that crap out of my classroom...I've got zero tolerance for it, and I will shut that kind of behavior down so fast.:eusa_naug

    I hate the whole "I couldn't care less" thing too.

    That part about people who expect others to take their opinions as gospel truth pusses me off too.

    ---------- Post added 17th May 2017 at 11:55 PM ----------

    I don't blame you. That annoys me too.

    ---------- Post added 17th May 2017 at 11:56 PM ----------

    I can't stand bullying either. It sucks for people to bully others.

    ---------- Post added 17th May 2017 at 11:57 PM ----------

    I agree with you that excessive cussing is annoying. I do to care if someone likes to cuss, but please don't overdo it.

    ---------- Post added 17th May 2017 at 11:58 PM ----------

    I hate stereotypes too.

    ---------- Post added 17th May 2017 at 11:59 PM ----------

    I can relate to you. The whole "slow walking" thing annoys me a lot.

    ---------- Post added 18th May 2017 at 12:02 AM ----------

    I got annoyed when my instructors would talk about their spouses in class. When people change the topic in a conversation, it shows you that they don't care about what you're saying.

    ---------- Post added 18th May 2017 at 12:03 AM ----------

    One time, I was at my college campus and kept hearing this girl clear her throat. That annoyed me so bad.

    People who look through your stuff without asking... have considered hiding a naked picture of Donald Trump somewhere so someone gets an eyeful if they nose through :grin:

    Bigots. They are so utterly stupid.

    People who are convinced science doesn't exist, and won't let you tell them otherwise.

    Most dubbed anime. Ah gawd it's so goddamn awful.

    When someone interrupts my sentences. It happens a lot.

    When someone exaggerates. It bugs me so much.
