What are your pet peeves?

Post Reply New Topic

What are your pet peevs that really make you mad about other people or about what is going on?

When there's a power outage and I can't get on the Internet.

People spelling the word definitely wrong.

People using internet slang in real life conversations.

Anything having to do with facebook.

People mispronouncing my name - my BIGGEST pet peeve, especially when you correct them and they STILL mispronounce it!

People who say 'xoxo' or 'lol'.

People who put anything but cigarettes in ash trays, like old food (left over pet peeve from when I was a smoker).

People who don't move out of the way as you walk towards them or getting off the bus/metro.

People who spit in public, or worse...when the shoot snot out of their nose, yuck!

Charvers in general (http://www.newcastlestuff.com/charver/), but particularly male charvers who walk along the street with hands down the front of their pants.

Children who stare at you - the ones who are old enough to know better, and parents who do nothing about their bratty kids.

Ugg boots - and people who wear things that are out of fashion or general fashion victims.

Women who hang out in toilets - who take up all the space, eat food in public toilets, or the ones who talk on the phone.

People who dress their children in Playboy mini skirts or Goldigger t-shirts.

When people are eating and they stare into space - my mother is terrible for this, for loud eating too.

People who sit the next set of seats along from you on the metro/bus/train, but do so facing you.

People who don't listen to you when trying to tell them something, or who don't even pretend to be polite enough to listen.

Erm...I probably have a LOT more, but it's 6:15am so time for bed...I'll be back

I hate having my stuff touched and invading my personal space. Friends and family who would touch my food or take a drink from my glass used to drive me nuts, but I've managed to tolerate it a little better. Excessive chattiness and distracting noises are a big bother when I am trying to think through something. People assuming they can speak for me or that they know my point of view. Bunch of others, I am not an easy person.

Initialisms and acronyms are getting out of control....grrr just say/type the words!

The way people talk to babies, little children and pets!! *shudder...brrr*

People, whom I don't care for, who think I care to listen to their baby, little children or pet stories.

People who shove their babies, little children or pets at me and expect me to interact with them.

Typical minded adults and all their typical minded ways are the most annoying...to me...

Lung infections and stuffy noses.

People saying "I could care less" when they mean the opposite.

people who make ad hoc arguments in favour of a conclusion they have already decided on.

People who are apathetic, particularly towards things that not just effect them, but effect all of us.

People who are wilfully ignorant, particularly when they act like a five year old with fingers in their ears going 'Lalala, I'm not listening!'.

People who are rude to you...then have a go at you for being rude right back to them.

People who don't understand the concept of playing devils advocate.

People who just misread what I say and twist my words around (as long as it's a joke then that's one exception).

Not being able to get a chance to say something or express how I really feel.

Being touched when I'm not in my comfort zone.

Giving too much instructions when I feel overwhelmed.

None about people's grammar, but I do have some.

When people swear excessively in public. (This is a big one)

People who except me to be hypersensitive to pain because they are.

When the door to my room is closed and someone comes in and leaves it open when they leave.

People who swear for the sake of swearing.

Customers who ask their bags be doubled 'cause they are going up 3 flights of stairs, yet there are no 4 story buildings in the neighborhood. Evidently, everyone has a fridge on their roof.
