GTKY: pet peeves

wholebunches101212 · October 2014

What are your pet peeves? What makes you want to punch someone in the throat? X(

wholebunches101212 · October 2014

I have a lot but I'll just do a few!

People that have to use multiple alarms to get up, clicking pens, tapping pens, when people pronounce my name wrong which is every day! When the tooth paste cap isn't put back on the tube. And many more!!

lindsayanne14 · October 2014

I hate when people are not punctual. MIL is always late and it drives me batty! We even alter the time we need her to be somewhere and she's still late :-q

DixieNormous330 · October 2014

Gum snapping; "aks" vs "ask"; "I could have cared less"; nail clipping in public; singing or mouthing the wrong words to a song (I'm looking at you MOM); Making noises at my 3.5 year old rather than talking to her - just because she isn't verbal doesn't mean she doesn't understand

I can keep going.

ally3242 · October 2014

I hate when people chew with their mouth open or talk while they've got a mouth full of food.

I also hate that target has like 998 checkout lanes for Black Friday but there's only ever 1 lane open and like 25 people in line every other day.

Yes!!

FTR, I don't have pet peeves. The things that irk me repeatedly should bother everyone, because clearly I'm right. (Kidding, obvi.) A few examples: 1. People who don't use turn signals. I'm not a fucking mind-reader, use your damn signal. 2. The left lane is for passing. If you aren't passing, get to the right. If I want to go 80 mph, that's my prerogative. Get out of the way. Don't make me pass you on the right; that's rude and I don't wanna be rude. 3. Anyone who thinks what they think or believe is the only thing worth thinking/believing. Generally speaking, bigots and zealots really grate my nerves. If you can't understand the difference between opinion and fact and theory, don't talk to me. 4. General lack of manners in daily life. Yes, I curse like a sailor. But I mind my P's and Q's. It's easy to be gracious. I am especially irritated by anyone who is rude to bartenders/servers/hosts or to any person in the service industry.

I will be that crazy person that follows you until you move to the right lane. It's a good thing I only work one day a week now. My road rage has gotten way better.

I drive a standard and I hate people that ride up on my bumper at a stop. I will roll my jeep as close to your car as possible. I don't care about my jeep and I'm sure you probably care about your car. Back off. No I don't need the room, I am perfectly capable of not rolling but I will on principle.

People who mispronounce radiator. It is a hard a. Not a soft a. Ray. Radiators radiate.

These SS/WKs. I cannot grasp how they actually manage in society. They can't be functioning members. They have to still have their hands being held and ears covered. Such a lack of common sense.

amandamarie2 · October 2014

People who make plans and don't keep them or are super late. "Oh something came up!" "I completely forgot!" Make it a priority. Unless it's an emergency, make it happen. And write your plans down! This probably frustrates me due to my obsessive planning and dependence on my day planner- as soon as I make plans it is in the book and that's not going to change.

Trust me, it's frustrating for us too. Corporate sucks. Not that i work there... *runs and hides*

NoraMia · October 2014

1) People who believe their way is the only way and that goes for everything..I think @annattcat32 said it best

2) Cabinet and closet doors open, why? Just close it after you've gotten what you need

3) Stupid questions (and yes there are stupid questions) research before you ask!

4) Snobby attitude...

cwiceangel · October 2014

I have a ton... Agree with all the traffic ones. I mean seriously don't be an ass. Also in Florida... It's ILLEGAL to drive with your hazards on. You freaking disappear in the rain and then suddenly you're back. If you feel the need to drive with them on pull over and wait for the rain to let up. Wish cops would do something about that. (I know they don't want to get wet...)

Off that soap box... Can't remember who said it about the closets and cabinets. Yep! That right there! I mean seriously how freaking hard is it! Also chewing with your mouth open. I mean gross. And walk the extra 4 inches to the trash can to throw whatever away, not sit it on the counter.

Mom2bois85 · October 2014

Clueless people that stop walking right in front of you when they are in busy places like airports or malls. Because either they are on their phone or just in fucking "la la land".
I've seriously been close to screaming at people or silently flipping them off continually with both hands right in front of their face. I'm considered very chill and even tempered by everyone I know but this makes me the rageyist <---- (word I made up) of all!!!

NoraMia · October 2014

@motownmama and @audrey1787 my DH does this and he just laughs when I'm stomping around the house closing doors and muttering to myself LOL it is so annoying!

jdles16 · October 2014

1. Any. Repetitive. Noise. Especially when I can't tell where it's coming from or what is making said noise.
2. Poor basic grammar and spelling. 90% of the time it's just laziness, people!
3. Attitudes of entitlement.
4. People who talk quietly to themselves because they are uncomfortable with silence.

ElizabethSwann · October 2014

People that always talk about themselves.

Duffgurl · October 2014

People who leave the lights on. When they are not in that room. I must turn it off. (Get this from my dad)

When people don't use their turn signals while driving.

whippoorwill3 · October 2014

When someone standing directly behind me sneezes or coughs. Sends chills down my spine.

JaneShops · October 2014

I live & work in Los Angeles, I have just too many driving & traffic "pet peeves" to list
& I'm with everyone with the chewing with mouth open, noisy eaters, public grooming (flossing, nail clipping) & I really really can't stand people sneezing without even attempting to cover UGH!!

KayDeeKay81 · October 2014

When someone uses their spoon to scrape out every tiny last little bit of yogurt out of the container, turning the container round and round, quickly scraping across the bottom and sides of the container - looking to see if they got it all - UGH!

ally3242 · October 2014

I also forgot to add the sickos who don't flush the effing toilet in a public restroom. I don't want to see my poop, let alone yours.

tdmloverrn · October 2014

People who slurp their drinks or food, like soup and also the sound when people bite their forks! Bite your food, not your silverware!

I want to add typhoid Mary's who think squeezing their ass to sit between people on the subway to cough and sneeze away when they could have just stood off to themselves is perfectly ok.

Thanks jerk, now my pregnant ass has to get up and and find somewhere else-you're damn right Imma side eye you!

AND for good measure lets add a pet peeve of coworkers who promise to bring you dill pickle flavoured popcorn today only to forget and leave your pregnant ass craving nothing but pickles in any form, be it crunchy pickles, potato chips, popcorn or what have you.

I am a grumpy Gus and will remain so until said popcorn arrives *pout*

I do NOT regret no longer living/working in the city and dealing with that. Viva la 'burbs living and working!

BabiesEverywhere · October 2014

Add me to the "I can't stand people who smack their food/chew with their mouths open" group. So. Gross.

redneckmomma25 · October 2014

It's interesting to see things that bother other people that you wouldn't even think twice about.

starshollow · October 2014

People who don't have how to change the channel or station when something offends them on tv or radio. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Seems simple to me.

handlwiegman · October 2014

I have to agree with many of these!
Definitely the one-upper is in my top...I have a coworker that does it to me CONSTANTLY...she's 30 years older than me too. It's bizarre and extremely annoying. Yesterday she asked how I was feeling, I said tired but good, and she proceeded to one-up my tiredness. I was still in a bad mood about it today.

Teeth on forks. It makes every hair on my body stand up. The thought makes my stomach turn.

that totally goes hand in hand with people who scrape their forks and knives across their plates. That sound makes me want to jump out of my skin.

Ncountrygal · October 2014

@KayDeeKay81‌ I'm sorry, I'm that yogurt person! Because yogurt is probably the best food ever! I can't waste it.

I hate when towels aren't folded in thirds, the toothpaste tube isn't squeezed from the bottom (yes, sorry, I'm also that person), and when my only choices are low fat lite food-substances. I'll take the flavor please!

People who yawn without covering their mouth. Lately it's been my life's mission to get my students to cover their mouths! Same for coughs and sneezes. I call these "germ sprinklers" in my classroom, and even the 5 year olds get the idea to cover up. Grown-ups? Not always.

Teachers/colleagues asking me if I'm pregnant. Like, did you just call me fat? Do I look fat to you? Thanks a lot! (Won't spill the beans until after my 12 week appointment next week).

People who ask others if they're pregnant definitely irk me--not because of the implied weight thing (though, hello--rude)--because it's an inappropriately intrusive question. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but clearly if I were pregnant I didn't choose to tell you, so why are you asking?

I always felt this way about people who would ask when I was going to get married/have kids. I also feel this way about people who ask friends who aren't "out" about their sexuality. These are not questions for casual acquaintances/coworkers/distant relatives, people.

I will actually call someone out on the teeth to silverware thing. It kills me! My friend used to do it and I called him out every time, now it bothers him!

@redneckmomma25‌, while I agree with you pronunciation, the rolled 'r' and soft a, just make me think of Ron Pearlman in City of Lost Children. Rrrradiator. Melts me every time.

Ginja85 · October 2014

Gum chewing

Bicyclists (yes I'm the bitch with the super soaker who nailed you blowing a red light)

People who play with or talk on their phones during meals or other social activities

rachel3212 · October 2014

Mouth noises and loud breathing. I am a teacher and I have a student that is an extremely loud breather and I have to walk away from.him all the time! Its actually a disorder called miophonia. Pretty sure I have it.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia

SuperFudge00 · October 2014

I hate groups of people who walk shoulder to shoulder and block the walkway for everyone else.

And drunk people who end up in the ER.

Loud chewing/eating drives me crazy. That and people who talk with food in their mouth. I find it incredibly disgusting.

WHISTLING.

Inhaled eating, when you can hear someone breathing while shoveling food in their mouths, is pretty bad too.
