People who "talk over" other people. Be polite. Let them finish! I will call you out on this.

My in-laws do this and it drives me bonkers. They ALL do it. It's like a contest to see who can speak the loudest. Reasons I'm so quiet at their house. It drives me bonkers.

Usually when two people talk at the same time the interrupter should stop and say: "I'm sorry. Go ahead." My DH is horrible about this! Not only will he NOT stop talking, he gets louder. I'm pretty sure my face looks like this:

It's one of my biggest pet peeves. It's like saying what you have to say is more important and frankly you don't give a damn what the other person has to say.

My #1 TB related pet peeve: getting stuck in the damn quote box!!!

-loud breathers

-eating with mouth open

-people talking on the phone and eating at the same time (my mom does this ALL the time, so annoying)

-people who write like a text (there's a girl on my Facebook feed who I went to middle school with, and who is a teacher mind you, and writes stuff like cud and wud for could and would)

-when people seriously talk like the Kardashians (the only way I can describe) saying stuff like "totes" (totally), "gorge" (gorgeous), "for reals"; not when it's written like a joke or in jest

All the Driving ones for sure. People who get super close to talk to you aka close talkers, doubly awful if they have nasty breath. Also people who think its appropriate to comment on how large I am (mostly co-workers) and when I am due again? every other fricken day, so annoying. Like yes I said June you dick.... wait to see how big the belly really gets come May and June geez! and don't even think about touching it unless you are family or a close friend.

*interrupting *laziness *not taking ownership of your job or life *people who seek pity all of the time *special snowflakes* *people who think they are always right *I'm sure there are a lot more lol

Oh yes, interrupting. I work with this one woman who is in her 50s who will waltz right into my classroom and say whatever she feels needs to be said regardless of what I am doing. She will completely interrupt a conversation I may be having with other teachers or students. Hello?! My time is precious, too, ya jerk. And right now I obviously don't have time for you. It's at the point now where I am going to call her on it the next time she does it because it is SO RUDE! If I have to talk to someone and they are already talking to someone else, I wait until they are done before jumping in.

Slow drivers
People who irrationally hate cat people for no reason (obviously I have cats... and they are awesome, by the way!)
People who swear at their kids in grocery stores/Target/etc. Really? Get it together.
On that note, anyone who thinks pajama pants are appropriate attire for anywhere beyond your bedroom. Gross. Put real pants on, you hobo.

I am wearing pajama pants on my couch right now...please don't judge me

1. Slow drivers
2. People looking over your shoulder at work.
3. People telling me " you look tired"
4. People rubbing my belly with out asking. Uh can I touch yours... Yea I didn't think so.

Littering! There is never a legit reason - just means you are lazy.

The worst littering: cigarettes

It makes me so angry.

My biggest one right now is my coworkers who like to tell me that I don't look pregnant. I'm 110 on a good day no baby. I am currently 137 and I've gained it alllll in my uterus. I fucking look pregnant. Fuck off.

Sorry, happened three times today. I love my belly, stop telling me it doesn't exist!

I get the exact opposite lol. People should just shut up sometimes

Also, when people who see me everyday, ask everyday "how are you feeling" "how's the baby". I'm fine, she's fine....just like we were yesterday and the day before that and pretty much every damn day for the last 5 months since I've told you several times that I've actually had a very symptom-less pregnancy.

Yes!! Totally
;;)

Huge pet peeve - people who call us bitches then pretend it never happened/dont apologize and keep posting.

People that park too close to my doors so I'm squeezing trying to get my kids in the car.

Oh, you mean like this? This happened to me last week at work. The silver vehicle on the right is mine. WTF? I had to crawl in through the passenger side - I wanted to key their car so bad!

I was 118 before I got pregnant...I'm now 22 weeks and still am only 117 (finally gaining back some weight I lost in 1st tri) and I had a coworker say "Oh you are finally starting to look pudgy". Um...what? I'm 99% sure she was referring to my bump, but who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to use the word "pudgy" to describe any woman, ever?

@Pepper6 After seeing one of your posts yesterday I started craving Dr. Pepper in a fierce way. I can't drink carbonated beverages, so there was nothing I could do about it. I had the sads all day.

Sareynoo · February 2014

People that don't read signs or follow them. My desk is across the room from double doors at work, the sign says "please use other door" and has an arrow pointing to the OTHER DOOR. The door is non-functional BTW.. This dude proceeds to try to open the door, looks at me like I'm the idiot. For fucks sake I pointed at the sign. He just didn't get it.

Boo! I'm pretty sure I have an addiction to Dr. Pepper, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't drink it anymore.

@joules235 The only thing I see here are awesome handles on your cupboards! I love those so hard!

The cabinets and handles are from Ikea

Ah, cabinets! That's the word I was looking for! I was like, "These aren't cupboards, that's clearly not a kitchen!"

haha is there a difference between the two? I didn't even notice, I have just always called them cabinets.

I think cupboards are for storing dishes and food items, while cabinets are more for all-purpose storage.
