GTKY: Pet Peeves

What habits of others do you hate!? What drives you crazy? Or, what do you do that makes your SO crazy?

Re: GTKY: Pet Peeves
My husband rubs his feet together constantly, and it makes me want to punch him sometimes.
My husband cannot stand that I take eggs out from the egg carton from both ends and work my way to the middle, but I think it keeps the carton balanced🤷🏻♀️
He also can’t stand that I just tear open chips and other bags of food. He cuts one end so it’s perfect!
I’m sure there are more that I think of once others start mentioning theirs!
Other things that get me are people that talk over you, don’t pay attention when you talk, and when my husband leaves glasses in the sink to “soak” for no reason 🙄
I know H hates that I bite and pick at my cuticles and that I’m forgetful.

H and his mom do this weird thing where, while they're sitting on a couch without shoes on, they curl their toes so that they are folded under the balls of their feet. Then they push down against the floor. So gross and so creepy.
Also, people who make a point of eating audibly.
@zuuls_mom Definitely +1 to the cubicle conversations! We have a crew in my dept that holds such loud cubicle conversations that I can hear then verbatim. From my office. With the door closed. They're 20' away. Do people not know what inside voices are?!
H hates it when I get mad about cabinets being left open (which I should have added above, I suppose!) and when I leave the door between the house and connected garage open (a crack) while getting dog food (for about a minute).
People who who don’t respect personal space. Or overly touchy people (especially men).
We have a no shoe policy in our house - really bugs me when people wear them anyway (like my fil). I can always tell bc I keep my house pretty clean- I can see a clear shoe print on the hardwood! Ewww.
My H can’t stand how “messy” I am but he’s freakishly clean. His apartment looked like a (very clean)hotel room - literally no personal belongings anywhere. He’s always on me about my bath / makeup products in the bathroom 🤨

People who drive all up on your butt instead of just changing lanes to go around you.
And lately, people who assume I’ll be the DD. Just because I’m KU doesn’t mean I want to go 20 minutes out of my way to pick you up, Carol.

@rms924 I’m somewhat lax about the shoes thing, BUT if I have a baby crawling on the floor, those shoes better be off! And people that work at the hospital, shoes off! We got our carpets shampooed one time, and then my in-laws came in with shoes on, and I had an 8 month old at the time-NOT COOL! Also, I am master of picking items up from the floor with my feet! Comes in handy when you’re really pregnant! You might even try it! 🤣
@mamaber2204 my H does that too! It doesn't bug me exactly but I do find it side eye worthy
I think my biggest pet peeve is when people do the lip smack thing when they talk and not accidentally, I mean when they use it to punctuate a sentence. It drives me crazy.
I cannot stand jokes about gas and other body functions that create gross odors. And don't even get me started on the poop emoji. Probably because I am not an 8 year old boy.
You all are motivating me to try the no show policy. That is definitely not a thing in my family, but the thought of a newborn on our floor grosses me out. I'm not sure if it will make a difference with a dog and cat running around though...
I can stand loud chewers/chewing with your mouth open. When my brother eats steak, I want to punch him in the face.
I also intentionally get to work was early as possible so I can quietly get my shit organized and start my day peacefully on my own, but I have one coworker who just looooooves to start complaining first thing at 7:30 a.m. about all of the problems that she has 100% control over but refuses to acknowledge and never gets the hint that I'm like OKAYYYYYY GO AWAAAAAYYYY NOBODY CARES!!! So I guess super chatty-Cathy's first thing in the morning + people who just want to continue complaining and refuse to accept any solutions for how to fix their own problems.
People that talk incessantly without actually saying anything. Like my 5 year old. Lol. But I love him so much.
When Mh leaves cabinets open and his socks and clothes all over the house.
This is stupid, but I work at a hospital and we stock our room with linens as we need them. One of my coworkers is so messy when she stocks them. It’s always a disheveled mess and it drives me crazy. I always refold them when I can. She also has super messy handwriting, I don’t know how the radiologists can read her worksheets. It’s a good thing I don’t live with her, I feel like she’s a messy person
I hate when people don’t put their shopping carts back in the proper corral in the parking lot. It takes less than 2 minutes!!
@kdl89 My husband never wipes down the counter or the stove top! Drives me insane!
When dishes pile up in the sink because they didn't know if the dishwasher was clean or not. Super easy way to tell just by opening it up!
The parents at school who use the parking lot to drop off kids versus the drop loop so they get the parking lot all congested.
Add me to the no shoes in house crew, *especially* when it's winter. Don't track all of that salt and snow onto my floors! We have some close family friends originally from Japan and they always keep little slippers in a variety of sizes by their front door for guests to put on after taking off their shoes.
@calliah ooh I can't stand when things aren't folded neatly. One of my big pet peeves is when people leave fitting rooms or the racks/shelves in a store looking like a hot mess. How hard is it to put the things back on the hanger or bring them to the unwanted rack?

@themadcamel I used to work at Target, so messy stores are the worst. Bad memories, haha. I never understood how people could be so messy when they shop!
One if my biggest pet peeves is peanut butter left on the knife and put in the sink. I can’t stand cleaning peanut butter off of utensils or dishes. Yuck! My mother in law would come over to let our dog out once in a while, and he loves pb. So she would put a little bit in his dish and then leave the knife covered in pb in the sink. I swore she did it on purpose because she knew it drove me crazy. 🤦🏻♀️
I thought of another one, I only like dirty dishes to go on one side of the sink. Not the other side. Not the counter.
BIGGEST pet peeve late in pregnancy are all the comments on how "HUGE" and "READY TO POP" comments you get. "ARE YOU SURE ITS NOT TWINS?" YOU"RE NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!! I generally hate people when I'm visibly pregnant
I also had a guy flat out ask me how much weight I had gained when I was 8 months along. YOU WANNA DIE, BRO?

I really dislike city busses and feel all bus stops should be required to have a pull out so they get the heck out my way. Yea, tax dollars be damned, lol.
I dont like "unique" spellings of common names. It still sounds the same!
When people mispronounce words like "Libary" "flustrated"
People who complain for the sake of complaining and refuse to do anything to change it.
Also, team no shoes.
