What are some of your pet peeves?

Repeating myself, smacking while eating, my food touching, people that don’t use their turn signals, and when people invade my personal bubble.

People that think they know it all, but have no idea that i could really care less.

for incompetence press 1, for a long winded sales pitch press 2, for thirty minutes of holding music press 3, for more incompetence but in broken english press 4… for all other enquirys please hang up and die. thank you.

@poisonedantidote hah

1. Not signaling when you are going to make a turn, or signaling after you have already started to brake.

2. The ding on the microwave and toaster oven, I think we should be able to turn them off so we don’t wake up other people in the morning, or for when we want to hide the fact that we are eating again in the middle of the night.

3. When a cashier gives back change putting the bills in your hand first and then the coins. It should be coins first, so they are less likely to fall out of your hand.

4. Women who do not have a firm handshake.

5. That America is so uptight about sex. I think women die because of it.

6. That religious people want prayer in public school. It will never make sense to me.

7. That people seem to be using adverbs less often. Sentences like I take it personal and he drove slow just don’t sound right to me. Personally, slowly.

Oh, and also saying I was bit by a mosquito and the window is broke. Isn’t it bitten and broken?? Those I hear in the midwest mostly.

-When someone doesn’t dry their hands after they wash them and then they touch the doorknob and leave it all wet.
-When someone doesn’t wash their hands after using the restroom.
-When the songs in iTunes don’t have the right capitalization/album name/album cover.
-When the bed isn’t made correctly.
-When there is alot of trash in the trash can and nobody takes it out.
– When forks/spoons have water marks. It makes them look dirty.
– The way people wearing flip flops walk. 
– When someone asks me if I eat fish after I just told them I am a vegetarian.
– When clothes are sticking out of the drawer.
– When people wear sunglasses on a cloudy day.

Liars.

@Tink1113 wow those are like almost all of the same pet peeves I have! I hate it when people wear sunglasses indoors!

@Tink1113 I never understand why people think vegetarians eat fish, unless you say you “don’t eat meat” instead of using the word vegetarian Catholics have no meat Fridays, which means they eat fish instead.

A cashier giving change by balancing the coins on the bills, which are held in a slight V to support the coins. Unless you carefully use two hands to let the person dump the change in your hands you end up with change on the floor. I refuse to take it these days. Just tell them to give me the coins first and then the bills.

I also find it annoying when people blast their music in their car and it shakes the whole neighbor hood!
I also found it annoying to see a man listening to his iPod with headphones while his stereo in the car was on full blast!

I have another.

When the person bagging my groceries puts raw meat in with deli meat or fresh produce. No wonder 1 in 4 people every year get some sort of food born illness.

@plethora That was my number 3. I have never seen someone else list that one before :).

Above all other things, tardiness. I can’t stand it when people don’t make an effort to be punctual, and seem indifferent as to how it affects others.

When people tell you it’s a sin to judge. Those people are making the judgment that I need to be reminded of their values.

@JLeslie Yes, I saw yours and I had never seen it listed either by anyone. I had a rather unpleasant incident around this scene recently. When I would not take the proffered “change trap” she threw it on the counter and the floor. This happens a lot in the south. South of TN that is.

1. People with staring problems

2. People that get within an inch of your face to talk to you (especially if they’ve got bad breath)

3. Unflushed toilets in public restrooms (GROSS!)

@sjmc1989 Food touching? As in on the plate? Ooooook….:)

Grammatical errors. “I seen that happen” ” Have you ate yet” “He don’t ever get it right”, etc.

1. People who send me things in unreadable and frilly fonts.
3. People who can’t number correctly
4..Shopping carts in the middle of parking spaces.
I also have OCD tendencies, so pretty much everything you do pisses me off. Now go make sure your fridge contents are alphabetized.

@plethora Interesting you say it happens a lot in the south. I had not noticed if it happens to me more in the south or not (not sure if you mentioned TN, because that is where Ilive now?). I do find service in the south is lacking. People on the street and neighbors are very nice to each other, very congenial, but service and friendliness in places of business tend to be very dissappointing compared to other parts of the country.

@plethora Hey don’t judge me! It isn’t really a pet peeve so much as a phobia. I can kind of freak out, but divided plates are my friends.

@VohuManah I know what you mean about OCD tendencies. I’m the same.

People walking around extremely slowly and haphazardly at the grocery store. And me being stuck behind them.

I hate it when people don’t put their dirty dishes in the sink. I hate it when the drive through gets my order wrong. I hate it when people who are driving super slow merge into my lane. And I especially hate it when your driving near a school when all the kids are getting out and you get stuck at a stop sign because the kids won’t stop crossing!! Selfish little bratts!!!

People talking with their mouth full, little kids coughing or picking their noses then touching anything and everything they can get their hands on. The kids in sit down resturaunts who stand on the seat behind you and throwing food and spitting all over the place ( toddlers), the ghetto phone call ( sticking the head out the window to talk to the neighbor)

@shego Made me think of another one…people who yell with their Bluetooth on I wish that god awful invention was never created and people who have their phone on speakerphone in public places! I mean really do you need that much damn attention!

Not sure if this counts but I really hate it when people use the n00b tube (grenade launcher) in MW2. I also hate it when people talk about things like they’re an expert but they really aren’t.

I hate when people tell you something they’ve told you half a dozen times before like it was something new.

When people turn into a salesman for a product they like. We get it, you like the product and think other people would like it too. You don’t have to try and convert everyone you meet to it.

When people mispronounce “poinsettia” (poin-seht-ee-uh). Oh man…that one makes my blood boil. :)

Excape, exspecially, excetera…don’t like those

When people say “but I’m not afraid of homosexuals!” when they are called a homophobe. WORDS. CHANGE.

@borderline_blonde

haha…“people that get within an inch of your face to talk to you”. That’s my boyfriend you’re talking about! :P

This Bloody tedious question. Seen it loads of times now, sort of like an unwanted guest who can’t take no for an answer. Still at least it’s good to see the regulations are consistent & reliable on here~

Incompetent managers who seem to have only been promoted due to their ability to spout meaningless pseudo business catchphrases all the time.

I hate it when someone passes me on the highway and then pulls in front of me and proceeds to drive slower than I was going when they were behind me, especially when then pull in so close to me that I have to brake or change lanes to avoid a collision with them!

People who floss their teeth at the dinner table.

1. Food Smacking
2. Stupidity

@mirifique I so understand your pet peeve. My reaction was OMG, Yes!
@Dr_Lawrence Yep that is a definate one of mine too. I will say, I’ve never had anyone do something so discusting at the dinner table. Yuck.

Women who pee in a public restroom standing up and get pee all over the toilet seat.

People who forget to flush the toilet after they use it
.
People who get upset when they get smoke on them from me smoking and I went outside to smoke but they just got to stand down wind. I went outside as to not smoke on anyone and then they have the nerve to complain.

People who can’t wait for the light to change and pull their car all the way up past the line on an intersection making it difficult for people to pass by them safely or for the car all the way on the right to see pass them to make a right turn at a red light safely.
I find most of the time its someone who owns a SUV or larger vehicle.

People who don’t know how to pick up after themselves.

And liars.

People who know it all…as they get older, they will realize how little they do know!

People who never hear a word you say!

Bossy people!

Back seat drivers!

Rude people!

People who throw trash out their car windows.

People that don’t keep their property up to standards of the neighborhood.

Loud people!

1. GET THE HELL OFF YOUR CELL PHONE while in line! I don’t care about your baby mamma drama while im trying to pay for my groceries
2. WASH YOUR HANDS! when you leave the bathroom. i mean.. ewww! This happens alot at work and then you go and touch everything around you. Thats gross.
3. IF YOU ARE COMING TO MY HOUSE PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF. I mean, common.. unless you are my girlfriend (which is exempt from this peave) then you should at least attempt to throw away your trash.
4. PLEASE for the love of god, don’t throw your cigarette butts out of the car at highway speeds so they fly up and spark on my windshield. Thats just freakin rude!

3 more:

1. People who get on the elevator before you have gotten off (seriously c’mon, people)
2. People who walk while texting/mobile surfing, don’t see you coming along, and run into you
3. People who cannot commit to a “side” while walking towards you on a collision course, creating an unnecessarily awkward and stressful situation for 3–5 seconds. I know, I’m a whiner.

@Tenpinmaster Throwing cig butts on the ground at all is disgusting—good one.

@mirifique That elevator thing is annoying.

@all when someone does a toast and you are sitting at a table with a lot of people and they try to clink glasses with everyone. 6 or more people you can just raise your glass, it gets ridiculous.

ALSO: When Starbucks baristas ask me every single day if I need my receipt, even though I see the same baristas every day, and every day I do not need my receipt. Please just don’t ask me anymore.

AND: When people getting on an elevator to get down the lobby still feel the need to hit the “1” button even though clearly it’s the end of the day, and the 12 other people in the elevator are clearly going to the lobby.

I love this question.

@ucme well I am sorry if this question annoys you. I am pretty new to Fluther so I have no idea if someone has asked this question before. If it annoys you, please do not bother to answer.

@JLeslie Thank you! :)

@eLenaLicious Doesn’t annoy me peeves me clue in the question 2 totally differing things.

@ucme Let’s not be hasty

nose pickers

People that honk when it is obvious that no one in front of them is moving!
People who are dumb enough to get drunk and then drive!
Drivers that speed up when they know that the lane is ending and it’s solid traffic, expecting someone to let them in at the last minute…ARGH!!!

@shego Oh yes, the little toddlers who look over and start throwing things and the parents have no respect to stop their activities. Best believe my kids will learn early with being out in public. They will know the difference between ” good” things to do and “bad ” things to do in public.

I thought of another one: Drivers who know the freeway entrance is coming up but wait until the last minute to merge into the right lane just so they can be a few seconds ahead of everybody else. THAT’S WHY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN PEOPLE!!!!!

@kheredia Those events are not accidents! They are the predictable outcome of careless, thoughtless or inattentive drivers. The resulting events are called crashes or collisions but not accidents.

A hippo falling out of a tree onto your car during a Canadian winter day is an accident!

ummm…people that don’t give “love lurves” ever!

@kheredia And yes, you are right. You know what sucks.. driving and you don’t know where you are going… That creates the highest accidents because you are not thinking about your driving but trying to get where you are going

@Tenpinmaster I have never heard that before, is it something you read? I always say that is part of teh problem in FL, lots of people on vacation who don’t know where they are going.

I also hate when people crack their neck, fingers, or any other type of bone. The noise disgustes me.

@Tink1113

Same. I hate it. I can’t even do it. But my brother can and he’s always doing it and it makes me cringe.

@JLeslie No, because my driving sucks when I am going somewhere new and I am not concentrating on my driving but trying to find where I am going.

I can’t stand long nails either. Mostly because long nails are followed by dirt stuck under the tips of them. Ewwwww!

I can put up with just about anything or anyone usless they suck snot and swallow or f**king wwwhhhhiiiiinnnnneee.

@Silhouette tell us what you really think…loll

@BoBo1946 Too much sugar coating?

@Silhouette loll..touche!
