GTKY: biggest pet peeve

LaxMOM44 · October 2013

Ok ladies, what's the one thing that drives you crazy? Bonus if you pic or gif it.

LaxMOM44 · October 2013

I have a couple:

Nail picking in public

Interrupting people

And this

Shoegal36 · October 2013

Bad grammar in general, but I hate bad Facebook status grammar!

I hate when the wrong word is used. I hate run-on sentences. I hate when words are capitalized for no reason. I hate when people don't use apostrophes. I hate the over use of dots!

Ex: "omg if your going to the Mall theirs a big Sale!...I spent to much Money...!!..."

Cringe.

I hate when people comment on my photos and use bad grammar. I want to delete the comments. Ex: "aww you're babies beautifull"

I'm not saying I use perfect grammar all the time. I just hate when it's really, really bad.

Edited: tried to add a pic but it didn't work.

When I was a teacher, I developed a hatred of clicking pens, tapping pencils, etc.

It drives me nuts when people write awweeeeeeee. In my head, you're not stretching out your "aww" like you intend, just adding a weird "eeee" sound at the end.

Me too! I have a friend that is a habitual "eeeee" adder. "So cuteeeeeee" "niceeee". And she's a kindergarten teacher so she knows what sound the silent e makes. None.

Bad spelling and grammar... Sounds like a lot of us have the same issue. But lately I am frustrated by my own! I actually used to send back emails to people with their grammar corrected

But I was recently put in my place for using "I" instead of "me". And it makes me crazy that I do that! You spend your young life learning to use I, and then one day you take it too far... As in, "you can bring the report when it's finished to brad or I". One of the other owners of my company sent one back corrected for me, and now I panic every time

People who say "I know" when they mean "I think." My mom says things like "I know you are feeling isolated" or "I know you don't like ABC" when she is assuming these things. If I correct her, I end up feeling like a defensive child, even if she's just off base.

People at work who leave the sponge in the bottom of the sink. It just stays wet and ends up stinking. I always pick it out using the tips of 2 fingernails to give it a chance to dry.

Hello, soulmate! I hate this to no end, but my husband always leaves the sponge in the bottom of the sink. Always has, always will. I've tried reasoning with him, getting a special sponge-holder, and even getting us separate sponges. Nothing has worked.

My DH does this too! I can't stand it.

emmy236 · October 2013

People who say "birffday" and "supposably". DH says the latter and he doesn't understand he sounds uneducated. He thinks it's cute like a 3 year old saying "pasectti" I was to break out my step stool and climb up to smack him (he's a foot taller than me)

Oohgurl · October 2013

When smart cars or those tiny cars that look like sneakers drive in the left lane (fast lane). It drives me insane.

LaxMOM44 · October 2013

Oh I hate the sponge thing too! Also dish clothes have to be stretched out to dry. They cannot remain squished up. Oh my god I hate it.

Lolalipsy · October 2013

People who leave the bathroom wet after a shower. Yuck!

Sniffing instead of blowing. So irritating.

People that don't say thank you when you give way to them.

I am guilty of overusing the ellipses (...) but I HATE when people overuse/Incorrectly use apostrophes. "Awwww your baby's are so beautiful."

But I pretty much talk like a valley girl IRL so I use omg and "FB" text like that a lot because I actually use it IRL when I'm talking. I would annoy the fluck out of you. Sorry!

No, I can tell from your posts that you wouldn't annoy me! haha And I actually use ellipses a lot too. I think what annoys me is when people throw them in AFTER punctuation. They basically throw a bunch in between every sentence. And at least be consistent with the # of dots!! lol

Anytime my husband sees something he wants he's all and it drives me bonkers cause he never drops it.

He also drinks from the milk carton. Which is part of the reason I don't drink milk.

And lastly people who dress up their pets for Halloween.

You mean like this???

Edit: pic posted twice

LaxMOM44 · October 2013

I love the dog costumes!

CNJ4EVA · October 2013

People who do this at the supermarket:

mamatohne · October 2013

I can't stand when people scrape their teeth on their fork when they are eating! I want to reach across the table and smack the shit out of them!

The sponge in the sink is irritating!

c-elizabethf · October 2013

I can't stand someone not cleaning there plate off when they are done eating, my DH does this and it drives me crazy how he leaves a plate with food on it in the sink. Seriously? It's not hard to clean it off.

ILoveSnacks · October 2013

Littering with cigarette butts, eating noisily and the loud, horrible noises DH makes while brushing his teeth. Three-way tie.

Boo0512 · October 2013

I have many pet peeves of which I'm sure I am guilty of on occasion.

1. Major spelling and grammar mistakes.

2. People who refer to their dogs/cats as children.

3. Dressing up animals.

4. Almost anything that comes out of my MIL's mouth.

5. My sister interrupts our phone conversations about once every 2 mins to talk to her children. All I need is a "hold on a second, K stop pulling the dog's ears!!!!" but please don't constantly interrupt me without warning.

6. Whenever anyone comes over to visit and I'm trying to have a conversation with them they usually ignore me because they are ooooing and ahhhing at LO. I know she's cute but I'm a SAHM, I need some adult interaction!

I'd go on but I'm annoying myself with how long my list is.

Yeah, I'm a spiteful bitch.

KLJ3 · October 2013

I agree with the grammar pet peeves. Those aside, I'd have to say that open-mouth burps annoy the crap out of me, especially during a meal. I find it repulsive.

KLJ3 · October 2013

Ooh, speaking of grammar, I just saw this on FB:

RoxZ32 · October 2013

I'm late to the game but I have a grammer one. When people say "I'll borrow you my xyz" I want to scream.

(Edited to fix spelling)

I gave up on sponges. I now have a pot scrubber that can go in the dishwasher and we use dishcloths for everything else and usually once a day- occasionally every 2, they go into the washer.

I have one of those "horrible noises while brushing teeth" husbands too.

mommatotwo2 · October 2013

People who spit on the sidewalk, smoking people in a crowded area (in which I have no choice but to bring myself and family near them), people who act like they've had a hard life when they've had an easy life, girls that talk like a baby because they think it's sexy (it's not) and fake people (like someone I know having marital issues posting like every other day on facebook how her husband is the best,smartest, sexiest, whatever-ist person alive.

strawny0807 · October 2013

People that chew with their mouths open and people that let their children walk on your furniture with their shoes on. I have a friend in town with her 1.5 year old and they are doing both. And we have leather furniture...I won't let my own child walk on our sofa let alone on someone else's. Monday at 1 can't come soon enough. Oh, and she changed his poopy diaper, he grabbed himself, then touched DD's piano. I cloroxed that shit right away and washed his hands. Gross.
