@vflux33@HappyMonkey817 You both captured the grammar thing. I generally don't care about it but hearing "ax" vs "ask" doesn't help people in most settings.
I say this but mobile TB writes in words for me, deletes words or even conjugates them! Is anyone experiencing this bc it's annoying and makes me feel a little self conscious.
I also can't stand when people talk too loudly or too fast. "Umm", "ehh", "ahhh", "literally", "like". Unnecessary shortening of words ("celeb", "delish", etc.). Vocal fry. The sort of fake lisp thing some people do when they pronounce the "s" sound. Too much makeup. Mean girls. Cologne and perfume. Smoking.
My DH in restaurants will pay the check and then sip his beer for a half hour. Like A) we're taking up a table, and B ) nobody else has a drink. If we knew you were going to take so long, the rest of us could have ordered another round. I'm not at all saying he should pace himself with the fastest drinker (usually me, tbh), just that he has no sense of ... community? shared activity?
Along with the gross mouth noises you all described, I also can't stand the sound of an animal (especially dogs) licking themselves.
Another pet peeve is when people put dishes in the sink and don't rinse them off. If you aren't going to put them in the dishwasher immediately, at least don't leave food just sitting in the sink, drying and caking on the dishes. Gross. It takes 2 seconds to rinse them and saves you a lot of trouble and disgust in the long run.
@ShawnnaO that too! These are all common problems at my parent's house, and it doesn't help that their dishwasher is broken and my sister, BIL, and nephew are living with them right now. I get so grossed out when I'm there.
My ILs, especially my FIL will not get ready to leave until everyone is in the car. So if I say, "hey let's go to Target" they will keep playing on their iPads or whatever until after I strap MS in his car seat.
Also, people who play on the phones or tablets instead of visiting with other people. Did you really fly across the country to play Candy Crush instead of talking to the grandson you never see?

DH will leave Tupperware in his lunch box over the weekend and put it in the sink without rinsing it out. I throw it away. He always complains that his work Tupperware goes missing...no, I throw the nasty shit away.
When people interrupt someone mid sentence! Drives me NUTS!!! DH is horrible about this. I usually make a point of refusing to finish my story. His mom is terrible about it and he learned it from her.
Also, when someone asks a question and then doesn't listen to your response. Again. My MIL. She asks, I respond, and she's too busy thinking of what to say next to actually listen! We have the same conversations over and over.
You guys. My blood pressure is rising as I read these, I'm all worked up and annoyed just thinking about it all! But yes, yes, yes to @mmom3 the snoring. There is nothing worse than trying to sleep through that, it makes me crazy. And yes to DH being the hardest and slowest to get out of the house, I feel like he's so inefficient like think it through then get ready don't just go up and down the stairs a million times and like wander around the house, just get in the car!!!!
DH is the worst to get out of the house. He complains because I'm taking so long, when I'm getting myself, a toddler and a diaper bag ready. Meanwhile he doesn't have have his own shoes on and has to take a dump as soon as I'm ready to leave. Then when we're running late, he will apologize to the person at our destination and say "we had trouble getting out the door". No. YOU had trouble getting out the door.
When people don't recognize that it's either too late or too early to be loud AF in a neighborhood. They are building a house next door, it's 6:20 am, and the crew is already there doing sh!t. WTF. Isn't there like a city policy about when they could start?!
Also, good old Midwest passive aggression is my #1 pet peeve. Get to the point and say what you mean. It doesn't mean you're an asshole, and in fact, you come across as much more human and authentic if you aren't so busy BSing people.
@ladybugsamom@HappyMonkey817 I couldn't make out the term through context. I kept reading it in GOT articles - "I shipped Jonerys" and I am annoyed at words that are weird.
I have a lot of big ones, but one that's super petty, is when someone posts one of those pills on fb, and instead of answering the question with one of the answers provided, they decide to add in their own answers. Like dude you could have just used one of the answers alreXy provided. Lol. I have NO idea why it always irks me so bad lol. Every time I make a poll, I make it to where no one can add options to it lol
Re: GTKY: What's your biggest pet peeve?

Perhaps I'm easily annoyed. Haha

I think my husband is my biggest pet peeve

This goes for words like "shipped" or any word that is shortened yet insanely confusing and stupid.
"That moment when" irks me.
