Pet peeves

[Fiddledeedee]

So, what little random things annoy you when they have no reason to do so? It can be anything at all.

My pet hates are,
people who dot their i's with circles not points,
people who confuse "affect" with "effect" and other homophones,
people who spray a ton of perfume every 10 minutes, especially if it is all-day perfume, and
people who give an overweight pet diet food and table scraps.


Needless to say, I am guilty of many of these! What things wind you up like this?

[malachite]

-people tapping on my counter
-people taking my business flyers and using them as scrap paper
-people talking at counter to me AND on their phone (Fucking pick one!)
-people write like a 4 year old then get mad that I can't read their writing
-people giving me the old "Do live in this area?" because I don't know where every single thing is
-people who ask me when the rain is gonna stop
-people who pay their $2 bill with a $100

[Colosses]

MY PET peeve is whin u tx someone and they tx u back the next day.

[TheLilyTribe]

-People mistreating library books
-When people spit on the sidewalk, its gross, don't do it!
-When people chew with their mouths open
-When people have their music up so loud that you can hear everything in the song clearly, this is even worse if they're listening to rap
-When people pronounce Missouri "Missauri" pronounce it correctly!

[MyDecember]

-When someone falls asleep next to me and they start breathing loud and their breaths line up with mine.
-Tourists (I-Drive in general)

[Fairybread]

-dripping tap
-buzzing flies

[malachite]

When I'm trying to answer a question, and people keep hurling more at me before I can answer the first one.

I really don't care if it's the internet, please spell correctly. You're on a public forum and you want people to think you're intelligent, right? Then please learn to use spell-check. If I see you type lyk dis I'm going to assume you're illiterate. I forgive you if English isn't your mother tongue, or if you have dyslexia, but if you're educated and know better SHOW IT. It takes two seconds to type the word THE correctly. Dyslexia and illiteracy are not fads, they're serious issues.
I can not stress enough my disdain for "text-speak". Sure, it "saves time" but it also makes you look stupid and most people won't take you seriously. Also, quit being so damned lazy and learn the differences between "their", "there" and "they're". I can't tell you how many times I have to reread sentences because someone decides their going to they're house to get there cellphone because they forgot it. UCK!

I also don't like when people chew gum with their mouths open.
I hate when people say "that's gay" or "that's homo".

[Kidd]

People that think that the far left lane on an interstate is their personal express lane.

It's my biggest one, and it causes me grief on the daily.

IKNOWRITE! 10 miles per hour so you can find a Cici's and take pictures of a giant upside down houses is unacceptable!

[No One]

-People chewing gum (I am disgusted by it, and I find people unattractive when they do it)
-When people try to push their money under my window at work. I want to punch them.
-When people tap on my window to get my attention while I am working.
-When people call me "Bud" or "Buddy". I feel like I'm 5 when they do it.

[malachite]

-when people start asking a question when they are half way across the room. (get my attention, come to me, THEN ask)

[Connor22]

people who won't text back, specifically the guy who I want to ask out on a date but hardly see in person and can't get the chance :/

[thedreamwatch]

People scraping their fork against their teeth. That makes me cringe so bad.

People who gossip excessively about others, especially if it's malicious and judgmental.

People who leave the empty cereal box in the pantry because it gets my hopes up and then makes me grumpy because there isn't really cereal in the box.

People who constantly post passive aggressive facebook statuses. If you can't say something to someone's face, then shut up and deal. I don't want to have your dirty laundry aired all over my facebook feed. You look like an asshole.

[malachite]

trying to answer a question and the person keeps hurling new ones at you before you answer the any of them.

GRAMMAR ERRORS
My dad constantly taking a picture of everything to post on FB...
When people put back empty milk cartons/pitchers into the fridge
When people scrape metal forks against a ceramic plate
When my sister puts the blame on me for something SHE did
When someone taps on my shoulder repeatedly to get my attention when I'm obviously busy or engaged in a conversation
When my parents look at the history on my computer...I'm not a baby.

This is such a positive thread!

[malachite]

When people come up to me in the hotel and say: "I know you don't work for the hotel, and you probably can't answer this question,BUT"

if you know all that then why ask? walk to 15 feet to the front desk and ask them!

[The Black Rabbit]

hmmm... -People who think to ask me for something, but just make the assumption that it's okay.
-People who think I should believe everything they do.
-people who constantly comment on my bad habits. I know I have them, shaddup and let me deal with them, MINUS you chewing me out about them!
-People asking me the same question more than three times in a less than 15 minute time span
-When the printer runs out of white paper and all I have left is multicolored paper.
-DIRTY SHOES ON MY CARPET!
-Twilight. Although not really a pet peeve, it's more of a general disgust...Then again, Taylor Lautner or Robbert Pattinson can come bite me any day
-People who eat messy foods at my house and INSIST they have no need for a napkin, but use their clothes and/or my furnature as one.

[malachite]

finding out a co-worker has done jack shit all day and left print jobs undone then I get yelled at for them

[bookworm43]

-when i get an itch on my head RIGHT beneath the base my ponytail (hard to get to w/o messin up my hair)

-when i use glue and it sticks to my fingers and dries there, resulting in skin that looks like a snake that is in the midst of shedding it's skin

-justin bieber
