Pet Peeves

ReneeBH · June 2014

My trip to the grocery store reminded me of one of mine, so I thought maybe we could share those little things that just drive us crazy!

So, what say you F14? Something your DH does? Strangers? And what would your DH say is HIS biggest pet peeve about you?

Can't stand when random people try to give me parenting advise, or tell me what's wrong with LO.

Or when my MIL tells me what I should do with T. Her solution is always.. he must have a bubble. You should burp him better. Or where's his binky (we call it a paci woman! I hate the word binky!!!)

Ugh, @BlueDot818‌, MIL is obsessed with LOs gas! All she ever talks about is how she's fussy and has gas
:-??

(FYI, my kids is seriously not very fussy or gassy, which makes the whole thing hysterical!)

People who chew with their mouths open and make that smacking noise. I swear it makes me irrationally angry.

People who practically race me to the lines at the grocery store with their carts completely full of sh!t. Ya, because it would have been so hard to let me go ahead of you with my 4 items, my baby who is cranky and my 3yo who is two seconds away from having a meltdown. No, no... You go ahead with your grocery cart that could feed a small army.

Bad grammar.

Bad table manners.

And when my H says "we've seen this one" whenever I turn on an episode of SVU. I KNOW WE'VE SEEN THEM ALL, let me watch my rerun in peace, dammit.

@JA82406‌ did you know there is a name for when people get angry about food noises?
Misophonia:
People who have misophonia are most commonly angered, and even enraged, by common ambient sounds, such as other people clipping their nails, brushing teeth, chewing crushed ice, eating, slurping, drinking, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, typing on a keyboard, whistling or coughing; saying certain consonants; or repetitive sounds.

Yup! I can just never remember the name until I google it.

We had a thread a while back where we were talking about pet peeves and I think it's @inluv4life2‌ who also has this pet peeve too.

magentawarped · June 2014

Close talkers drive me nuts. I can hear fine, thank you, you don't need to be thisclose to me and breathing up my nose.

ReneeBH · June 2014

Like I said in the random thread, when people see us out with all three boys and make comments about "having our hands full" or "better you than me"...to which I usually smile and say its actually a lot of fun (which is totally true)

Also, when people ask if the boys are twins...my boys are identical and always dressed the same!

When DH doesn't rinse off his dishes, c'mon man! And he would say his is me leaving my flip flips alllll over the house...oh, and correcting him on minuscule details when he's telling a story

I just thought of one more: people in child care (professional or volunteer, eg church nursery) who wear perfume. I am still addicted to smelling LO's baby skin and milk breath, and I don't appreciate your White Diamonds fucking it up!

Plus, I swear it irritates her nose and makes it run sometimes.

Ugh this! And just people in general who wear too much purfume. If you're leaving a chem trail in your wake it's too damn much perfume!!

Mazingmommyof6 · June 2014

I am driven crazy by people who move their lips when your talking. Makes my skin crawl

shellbell3845 · June 2014

When people who know LO's name refer to him as "the baby." A time or two is fine. Everytime? Use his name.

littlepig2 · June 2014

when I'm telling someone a story or something new that they obviously don't know and after the first sentence they say "oh, I know!" and finish with something completely wrong. NO YOU DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE I JUST DID/LEARNED IT 3 SECONDS AGO AND YOU WERE NOT THERE!!

spicysurro · June 2014

People who are late. If I make plans with you its usually when Ava is in a good mood/ just napped or will be napping. Don't fuck it up by taking your sweet as time to get there.

MamaAllison · June 2014

Taken from my day today:

When people tell SIDS stories at baby showers. Just. Don't.

ETA: inappropriate/ insensitive stories at any time suck. My grandma used to be the queen of those.

My MIL did this with DD until this year and she's going to be 4. Most of the time I didn't know who she was talking about since she was not a baby and there were at least 3 other kids younger than DD that she could have been referring to. Luckily she stopped, but probably only because there was going to be a new baby. Who knows how long it would have lasted.

MissDemeanor · June 2014

I had so many I had to start a MIL thread

rachaelmary · June 2014

I definitely have misophonia!!

Loud chewing and swallowing are the worst and make me want to punch a wall.

1linedrawing · June 2014

As stated earlier- when people called breakfast breakky. X( ::hulk mode::

When my pants are half a centimeter too long and get wet, and then I have to take off my shoes AND pants when I get home because wet socks (another pet peeve).

Teeth-sucking. @-) I asked my husband the other night, "can you please get a toothpick?" And he goes, "no." Mind you, I was short tempered that day but :-L

Close-minded, quick-to-judgers.

People who cut in front of me and then move at snail-speed (walking or driving! Or snowboarding... Or jogging... )

When people hang things thisclose too their ceiling. No. At least a foot, even then, it's still too high.. Unless it's a giant piece.

Crooked anything.

People trying to make conversation while I'm trying to read/watch something/write.
Or when I just turned up the freakin' radio to hear my song/ a story! Turning up the volume is not a cue to speak louder, DH.

This happens to me all the time when I'm trying to catch a story on the news! I turn it up and still miss it so I rewind and door on the ottoman right in front of the t.v. and everyone just keeps yelling!

JordyInIndy · June 2014

Vaguebooking on FB. You clearly want everyone to know you have a problem and want us to ask you what it is, so why not just say it in your dumb status from the beginning.

JordyInIndy · June 2014

Oh, and when I pull my Nook out to read, that's not the time for you to have a million random things to talk about and dumb shit to show me on FB, DH.

This is probably NYC centric, but I hate when people walk on the left side of the street. Walk on the right. If everyone on a crowded street walks to the right we would not collide with each other. Just like stairs, always walk to the right of the damn subway stairs.

Also if you are in a group, there is no need to walk in a horizontal line. Double up so that people can actually get around you.

Yes!
Walk on the side you drive, bro!
And doors, you go in the right and come out the right- it's not rocket science. Don't get all pissy with me when I'm trying to go out the exit door and your trying to get in that side.

When stores switch the entry to the left I get all out of sorts.

BB0214 · June 2014

I hate when people where perfume to the gym. It makes me gag when I'm doing cardio and I have to inhale that smell.

futuremrswinfree · June 2014

People who stop their cart at the grocery store in the middle of the flipping aisle to text. I want to run my cart over their ankles. I don't, but I really, really want to.

@futuremrswinfree‌, I make my grocery list in the notes section of my iPhone and add and delete things on it while shopping. Of course I try to be mindful not to stop in front of others, but just thought I'd share. Maybe they aren't texting

spicysurro · June 2014

I have a new one today and when it happened I thought to myself "dang I should have put that on the pet peeve board" so it drive me nuts when people walk in the center of the "aisle" in the parking not, if you are walking to your car MOVE TO THE SIDE so I can drive past you!!!!

futuremrswinfree · June 2014

@bribbon‌ --no problem with list lookers as long as they keep on movin'!

When people wear flip flops (I wear them, but I don't make a ton of noise). I realize they're called "flip flops" for a reason, but most people are annoyingly loud when wearing them. Also, when people wear boots and don't tie the laces and they drag their feet all over the place X( Sometimes I wish they'd trip over their own two feet and learn a lesson

Harley motorcycles. Sorry, I'm calling them all out BECAUSE every single one that drives on our street HAS to rev (whatever you call it) right in front of our house and it's so freakin loud. Also, when slowing down for a red light, they must rev before coming to a complete stop. WHY?!?

Ignoring me when I'm trying to have a conversation with you. DH is good for this. Especially when he's playing with his phone. One day I'm gonna grab it and stomp it into a million pieces.

I have way too many more that I can't think of at the moment.

courtls22 · June 2014

I read the rest of the thread earlier so can't remember if someone already mentioned it but when people say "warsh" instead of "wash." A coworker said it today which reminded me. It's super common in my area and drives me bonkers!

Missy0483 · June 2014

Oh remembered another one. When people say "it's all" and I'm thinking "all what???" They mean all gone. Why not say all gone? Ahh!
