GTKY pet peeves

Schell2013 · January 2014

We haven't had one in awhile! Lets go!

Schell2013 · January 2014

My pet peeve is people on Facebook who share everything!! I swear everything the read they share its annoying!

Amer0317 · January 2014

As a teacher, I can't stand when children's things are spelled incorrectly (backwards R, z instead of s). Just spell it right!!!! (Yes, the extra ! are necessary.)

Oohgurl · January 2014

People that go to the emergency room for little things instead of actual emergencies. It clogs up space and doctor time for those that critically need it.

Grammar. For the love of God, learn the difference between:

your and you're
to, too, and two
there, their, and there

There is a difference between the word "definitely" and the word "defiantly." The second one means "in a rebellious manner."

I could go on forever, baby.

Preach it!
Along the same lines, random apostrophes used when a word is plural bothers the crap out of me.

snowgirl427 · January 2014

@linegirl313 -
What.Ev.Er.

My pet peeve - people who rinse their bowls and stuff out in the lunchroom sink and leave the nasty food in the sink.

Also - people who don't flush

LaxMOM44 · January 2014

I love me some period pauses....they make me happy!!11!!

My pet peeves:

Parents who let their children act like little shits in public.

Teenagers

When people don't shovel their sidewalks (I actually passed around a flyer in my neighbourhood with an email address for people who want me to shovel their sidewalks and I did it all through pregnancy! 6 months pregnant and shovelling really made people think twice about how hard it is to shovel a f'ing three foot patch of concrete). This doesn't include old people, I always shovel their driveways without them asking.

A whole list of airplane ones that could fill another thread.

Any kind of grooming in public. (Teeth picking. Nail clipping, biting, tearing. Etc.) bonus if you do it on a plane!

YES. How could I forget that?!
There is a limo and party bus rental company nearby. I shit you not, their sign says BUSES/LIMO'S. I would never give them my business based solely on that. I cringe every time I drive by.

JoJo716 · January 2014

I hate when people tailgate, especially if I am in the slow lane. I also don't like it when people drive slow in the fast lane but I don't tailgate because to me, it is just not worth it.

snowgirl427 · January 2014

For you grammarians (if it is a word)

My mom does this, AND the opposite. She doesn't use an apostrophe when she is supposed to. I complain about it all the time to her and she just doesn't get it. It drives me nuts. For example she will post a picture of my niece on FB and the caption will be, "At Grammys playing with her doll's" Aaaahhhh.

Our dog trainer was from a company called "who's walking who?"

I just couldn't deal with their name the whole time.

CNJ4EVA · January 2014

*People who write checks in stores

*When people in my office come to work sick so they can take "beach days" instead

Martyr syndrom. These people grate on my nerves.

And people who are too extreme in emotion or overly dramatic for nothing. Chill the F out.

You hate me?

LizzyG11 · January 2014

When people in a right turn lane swerve into the lane next to them to make it easier to round the corner without slowing down!

Also one of my best friends uses "taunt" instead of "taut" (like to pull something taut - not like taught for those of you who might think I can't spell!) and it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. You'd think that word wouldn't come up much in normal conversation but by golly is it ever-present!

JoJo716 · January 2014

Another one: when people replace "saw" with "seen". As in, I seen that, rather than, I saw that.

DiFazette · January 2014

People who don't say thank you when you've held the door for them. They always get a friendly 'you're welcome' from me.

PumpkinAndThePeanut · January 2014

Mine is hearing people eat or chew gum. In fact, I hate gum.

And men who spit in public. Once I was walking on the sidewalk and passed a guy just as he turned his head in my direction and spit... It hit my pantleg.

Dis.gust.ing.

Edit to fix spelling

snowgirl427 · January 2014

For you JoJo

Another pet peeve - over use of e cards. Oh wait - that's me...

bumpuser8130818 · January 2014

People who don't wash their hands. My brother, my MIL, and my best friend disgust me with their lack of hand washing. My brother hosted Thanksgiving and there wasn't any hand soap in the whole house. When I asked him how his daughter (age 3) washes her hands, he said she uses "magic soap" aka hand sanitizer. By the look of her hands, she doesn't use it much. My MIL comes over to make dinner for us every Friday and tonight, for example, she touched raw ground beef in addition to other things and didn't wash her hands once! And she's holding DS and I'm covertly following then around wiping his hands and face. It is just beyond disgusting to me.

Amer0317 · January 2014

@beaubecca-does it crack you up bc you genuinely think it's funny? Or did I make a grammatical error? (By Friday the lack of sleep has caught up with me and I'm not thinking clearly anymore.)

pnutg · January 2014

The way my husband eats cereal. And soup. And spaghetti. The slurping makes me want to slit my wrist. But I love him, I do.

c-elizabethf · January 2014

I know this is random but it gets on my nerves when people breathe real loud, my brother does it and I seriously am thinking he is auditioning for darth vader lol.

huzzahuzza · January 2014

Lol I have so many that one year my students asked me to write down all my pet peeves to post somewhere in the room... $:\$ ">

counting down with a timer

chanting

not holding the door if someone is coming behind you

being late

other people being late

whining

I could probably go on for awhile so I'll just end it here.

Oh God, I CRINGE over this. My in-laws and a couple that we are friends with are both non-hand washers after touching raw meat, they will like rinse their hands and/or wipe them on a towel, no soap. Drives me crazy and get really O.C.D. about it. I also know some people that don't wash after the restroom and that disgusts me as well.

bumpuser3155624 · January 2014

Packing peanuts. Mil shipped her xmas gifts and the 2 huge boxes are full of them.

Someone cleaned their ears with cotton buds in the university cafeteria. I gasped in horror. She had to be at least 50yo.

Lolalipsy · January 2014

Life's too short to have too many pet peeves but I do.

1) waiter/waitress that is too attentive. I hate to feel hassled.

2) common courtesy; if I hold open a door or let you through say thank you.

3) slow walking champions when you're in a hurry

4) picking teeth after a meal

5) sniffers instead of blowers

But I love potty humour.

Ew.

kyliensc · January 2014

I hate when people talk loudly on their phone in an otherwise quiet place. Library, bank or dr.office. Also when people dont unbundle their kids once inside the store.

SpanFran · January 2014

People who call you over and over and over and over and never wait for a response. Then, after I'm done with work or whatever, I look at my phone and see 4783289 missed calls. Naturally, I assume someone has died, so while I'm sobbing in the car on the way home, I call the number back and through tears ask "What is *sniff* happening?!?!"

"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to see what you were up to."

That's the shit I hate.

Should it be "who is walking whom?" I really don't know..

snowgirl427 · January 2014

@petrastonegirl - will we see you on the show "buying Alaska" ?

Another pet peeve - people who talk on the phone when in a public restroom... Or anytime when doing their business. If someone is on the phone I make sure to flush extra times.

Boo0512 · January 2014

I get super annoyed when people have a separate conversation while they're on the phone with me. I just hang up the phone after five minutes of that. Also, If I'm texting you, don't call me to respond. WTF ? Obviously I didn't want to talk.

Yes, yes, yes.

TradeMama · January 2014

Grammar and spelling errors drive me crazy-- my second grader's teacher corrected an essay of his and misspelled a word... It was all I could do not to correct it and send it back.

I also hate when people assume that a Facebook friendship is the equivalent of maintaining a relationship IRL. A FB message on my birthday is no substitute for a phone call.

I hate being late.

It's been a long time since I was in school but I'm pretty sure "who's walking who" is correct since "is" is a linking verb. But I don't have the best memory so I may be wrong.

1and1is3 · January 2014

People who use the subjunctive mood wrong (saying "was" when they should say "were") is a big one for me. The commercial for the movie Kick Ass where the girl says "Robin wishes he was me" makes me want to throw the remote at my TV (It should be "Robin wishes he WERE me).

Diagonal street crossers. You may be getting to your destination quicker but you are staying in my way longer and I want to run you over.

Oops I typed it correctly by mistake it was "whose walking who?" Also shouldn't it be whom?
