When someone is on their cell phone in a public bathroom.
People who drive slowly down a street and almost come to a stop at every corner. You know they are looking for a specific house but geez, GPS exists for a reason!
People who don’t use their blinkers. I cannot read your damn mind, put your blinker on!
@hfooter there’s a name for it?!? You just changed my life! I can’t stand hearing a clock ticking or when the furnace kicks on and you get a tic tic tic from one of the vents, it will keep me up! Google hole here I come!
People who insist on flying down an entrance ramp, instead of yielding, only to nearly avoid being clipped by the person already on the highway.
Leaving cabinet doors open...I'm looking at you, DH.
When good and well are used improperly. They're, their, and there. To and too. Yup. I'm one of those, and I usually will correct you if we are in person. Sorry, not sorry.
Everything @msmonalisavito listed, plus: - kids tattling on other kids - people who say they’ll do something, then don’t & flake out - people who share random stuff on FB all day - people who drive 2 mph when it’s lightly snowing, even though the roads are bare - people who show down to 25mph when they encounter a bend on a hill in good weather - people who bitch they can’t afford anything for their kids but have no problems buying beer & cigarettes for themselves - people who teach their children they’re special little snowflakes and act like everyone should bow down to their children because their children are just so freaking awesome.
When people are turning and cut the corner so they practically hit my car. I witness it A LOT and it fucking makes me rage. Just fucking do it properly!
When people drive slowly in the fast lane on the highway. Jesus Christ.
People who speed up at a yellow and fly though the lights just as they turn red. You’re a dick.
People (students) who say: bae on fleek lit mad (as an adverb) facts etc.
When people say/write “St. Patty’s Day” - I die a little inside.
This may only happen in Detroit- going down a residential or one lane road at a normal speed and people will fly down the same street, act like there are two lanes and pass me. This happens daily
Poor hygiene. Being interrupted. Gofundme sites that people make for things like "35th birthday celebration" or honeymoons, or to get a new pair of sneakers.
Leaving a dirty dish by the sink instead of just putting it in the dishwasher.
Drinking after people. Does that count? I hate it. I don’t even like to drink after my kids. And DH always takes sips out of my water bottle when I bring it with me out and about. If you want water while we’re out, PACK YOUR OWN! *ahem...sorry*
Adding another - when people spell “and” wrong. I know so many people IRL who write “an” for the word and on FB. For example “DS an I are excited.” No. Just no.
@melprop I've never seen that, but now that you've mentioned it I'm sure I'll see it everywhere.
I'm bothered by poor grammar, in particular: less vs fewer, many vs much, and bad vs badly. Text speak annoys me in any context, and any overuse of slang terms in inappropriate situations. Go ahead and use it with your friends who also use it, but learn to code switch when talking to a wider audience, please.
My biggest pet peeve is when people share memes on social media without bothering to fact check. I see SO MUCH bullshit shared on Facebook that is easily verifiable or falsified. I can't understand why you'd share information without so much as a cursory Google check to make sure it's accurate.

When people let the fork hit their teeth when they eat.
This is my number 1! It even bothers me if I do it on accident.
My other one is when people listen to music or videos on their phone without headphones in a public place. Especially on the train. You shouldn’t force people to listen to something. So rude.

@juliebird6 Oh man the lack of punctuation drives me nuts. My stepmom voice-to-texts all the time but she hasn't figured out that you can speak the punctuation. All her texts are paragraph length sentences... it drives me insane.

It’s funny when you get Siri to read text messages that have emojis ”distraught face with tightly closed eyes”
I don't think there's enough room for me to type all of mine, but I'll list a few that come to mind...
The misophonia, I have it so bad...
- Chewing loudly. My husband has thin cheeks and yeah, he sounds like a cow chewing rocks when he eats. I have to turn the TV up to tune it out.
- Dog licking anything. Our dog has anal gland problems and I have to take him weekly to get them emptied, no big deal. But he'll be sound asleep in the living room all day/night long, and the moment we all go to bed and it's super quiet, he's over there in his bed suddenly fellatio'ing his own asshole for what seems like an hour.
- Leaving food coated utensils stuck to the counter. My first year of marriage I threw out an entire set of cheap silverware after warning him to please put the dirty utensils in the little tray we have on the counter by the sink. Every morning I'd come out to silverware stuck to the counter with various foods on them, so, in the trash it went. It took him a few days, but I think he got the point after we had to buy all new utensils.
- Slow drivers. There is a speed limit, why everyone doesn't want to go exactly that at a bare minimum is beyond me. *vroom vroom*
- Lack of turn signals. Seriously, the city police wouldn't even have to pay me to write tickets for this in my town, I'd do it for free.
- Lack of grammar of today's society in general. It's appalling. I even find myself correcting horribly misspelled words on the yard sale posts. Because seriously, you say you're going to school to be an RN, you need to buy scrubs and supplies for your classes, and yet you can't figure out how to spell basic words? Go back to elementary school, dear.
- Materialistic people. "People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved and people are being used."
I agree with a ton of already posted but I think main ones are:
people who consistently complain about things but never actively try to change their situation
And when people start working out/dieting/taking supplements etc and they post "progress pics" EVERY SINGLE DAY. Or even multiple times a week. No ones body changes that quickly, at least not enough for it to be noticeable in a photo. I have unfollowed people because it drives me INSANE.
I'm laughing at so many of these - not the pet peeves necessarily but you awesome ladies have fantabulous narration!
I've got more because I'm a little ray of fucking sunshine today. And this is really cathartic
When I'm behind someone who is driving slower than is appropriate on said road, I'm already riding his ass. Hey, jerkface behind me, you don't need to ride MY ass, I've got this. Back off.
People who cough or sneeze in public and don't cover their nose and mouth *shudder*
If someone doesn't offer their seat to a pregnant or elderly person on public transportation I see red
People who park in handicapped parking spaces illegally (happens at day care all the time because there aren't enough spaces. Use the overflow lot lazy ass)
I probably shouldn't be at work with other humans today
+1 to people who share sensational fake stories from phony sources and can't be bothered to do an 8 second google search first. And when called out they reply along the lines of "well I don't really care, just trying to keep people aware." Aware of what? How gullible you seem?
Along those lines, people who abuse facebook messenger. I have an elderly great-aunt who sends me scripture every day at 4:30am because she's a couple time zones ahead of me. I am not religious, at all. I finally muted the conversation and sent it to my filtered folder, but lately she's started asking in comments why I no longer respond.
+1 to basic grammar and proper word choices--in everyday conversation I try to let it slide. But if I spot multiple issues in a professional print or news piece? Yeah, calling you out every time. It is your job, and your editor's job if you fail. Punctuation is a big deal in all written communication, and I won't bother to read your word salad if you won't bother to throw in a few periods and commas.
I have a serious phobia of people too close to me. I do not need to feel your breath on the back of my neck or on my cheeks; back the f off. I physically recoil every time. Same reaction to crowds, especially indoors.
When the UPS person parks the package up against the door. How am I supposed to open the door (from inside) to get it without it falling down the stairs?
People who don't think about health hygiene, but especially so during during flu season. Like, don't touch the effing elevator button and then itch your nose, FFS!
People who don't cover their coughs and sneezes (I think this has been covered but it is a huge pet peeve).
Generally everything my MIL does. Hahaha. That IL post got me in my feels.

And don't itch your nose then touch the elevator button!
When the UPS person rings the doorbell. Just leave the package! We have a porch!
Poor grammar and punctuation
Mispronunciations!
Misusing “I vs me” and “affect vs effect”
Similar to above: when employees tell me everything they completed or are working on, or ask for my help on dumb shit they could figure out themselves (easy excel)
I have misphonia as well, and I can’t have a meal around my MIL unless the tv is on loudly. She breathes so loudly, chews loudly, smacks her food, and if that wasn’t bad enough, she talks with her mouth full. She’s lucky I haven’t stabbed her with a fork yet
I’m also 100% a grammar freak and can’t stand when people just can’t understand your/you’re, too/to, could have/could of, etc. The worst one I’ve come across in the last few years is when people say “I seen” instead of “I saw” or “I’ve seen”
When people go too slow in the left lane and even after you tailgate them, and pass them on the right, they refuse to take the hint and move over. Happened so many times on my drive to Vegas on Tuesday.
When people stop with no warning in the middle of a sidewalk.
When people passive aggressively vent about people on social media. My SIL does this all the time, then claims that she never takes things to social media.
When older people try to give parenting advice that is outdated and absolutely insist that they know best. Like pumping and dumping (FYI, completely unnecessary unless you’re drunk), or bashing baby led weaning. Times have changed, Martha. I’m going to listen to a pediatrician over your 35 year old experience!

@calimom2524 YES to the parents who stare at their phone while their kids play at the park, or the mall play area or anywhere. I had the boys at the play area of the mall last week and there were 8 parents sitting in there. Every single one of them was on their phone, and I was up policing their kids (who were way too old to be at a mall play area), telling them not to climb up the slide, not to block my toddler's way, not to fall on said toddler. I get all parents need some chill time, but do it when your kids nap or in the safety of your own home where your 8 year old isn't terrorizing my 16-month-old.
Another pet peeve: Facebook "chain letter" messages. "Please pray for blah blah blah..." or "Forward this on to 8 friends or you'll have bad luck for a year" or "Put a heart on the wall of 10 friends, including me. I know most of you won't bother, but I'll know who my real friends are." UGH. Just no.

Seriously, it's so annoying. One time a big kid was throwing sticks at my son (2 at the time) and his mom was on her phone not paying attention. I asked her son to stop throwing sticks at my son and the son then went to his mom and told her I yelled at him. She then tried to fight me for "yelling" at her kid. That will always stick with me! But I was reminded again this weekend at the park when I was watching my kids playing with other kids and none of the other parents were paying any attention, they were all glued to their phones. It's sad!

also it drives me nuts when people text in a quiet public area with the sound on. Click click click click chime click click click chime.
