Most of everyone has that one thing that they just can't stand. Something that irritates you beyond belief. It could be something a person does, something a person says, or something that you inevitably have to deal with in everyday life just because it simply exists in this world.
What are your pet peeve(s)?
People chewing and eating loudly in public places like on the train or bus.
General rudeness, vauge I know but I don't even know where to begin with that, being wrongly accused of even the tinyest thing really gets to me, more irrational is when someone says pacific instead is specific and I could care less and for some reason when someone says scon instead of scone even though i know it's widely accepted to use both of them so I don't know why it annoys me
when a man hits on me by saying "hey baby!" of all the things to say, why this over and over and over?!?!
My two biggies are passive aggressive people and people who obviously have something to say but refuse to say it.
One that is my #1 Pet peeves. Snot. It's the worst thing ever. When someone is blowing their nose, picking their nose, snorting, and so on. People that stick their fingers up their nose and then straight in their mouth as a way to get rid of the snot? That destroys me every time.
Some others but not nearly as close to the snot thing would be:
*Noises people make when eating.
- I hate this. I have only heard overweight people do this. It's the sound of them chewing but with a sound of effort to eat being involved. That always aggrivates me.
*Moral try-hards.
- You know, when people are trying to show how oh so moral they are with their cheesy positivity that is clearly about the person wanting to be seen as moral, wise, positive rather than actually being moral, wise, and positive.
*Tough guy try-hard.
- Not talking about simple "I can kick your ass" behavior but people that try to talk big, typical "fuck the police" people. Reason being that every single one of them that I've been in a conflict with have resorted to phoning the police on me whenever they start something like a fight and lose. "Fuck the police! Wah! Daddy copper, that man hit me. :'("
*Car guys/car guys' girls
- These people...Just...Ugh. These people will get their shitty cars (most of the time they're shitty) and park in a public open space for vehicles with their music with like ten other people in their cars JUST to get this whole Fast and Furious look about them, which they fail...Oh God do they fail. They'll sit in their cars or on their cars, revving up the engines of their shitty cars, and think they're just the shit for it when in reality they're just in their shitty cars next to their shitty friends taking up more space and oxygen than anyone else would care to give them.
- Car guys' girls aren't as bad but they're just annoying. My bestfriend's girlfriend left him because she hanged around those people and ended up getting with one. Most of the time they're skanks trying to get the "cool" reputation by latching on to the supposed "cool" guys. Status/social parasites.
I could go on but I wrote enough already. I guess you can say I'm a judgemental guy. ^_^
If you don't mind me saying, your opinion about snot seems a bit snotty. Help me understand your viewpoint by telling me what do you do about your own boogers.
Well I blow my nose and so on and clean it. I'm not saying I don't want people doing it, just saying that my reaction to it is being extremely uncomfortable.
Kind of like this. We all go #2 but we don't want to be standing or sitting right next to people when they go #2. :)
I see. But, probably the person next to you enjoys having you for an audience.
Your comment reminds me of a coworker I once had. His index finger had been cut off in an accident, at the second knuckle.
Oftentimes when we were in public places he liked to put the stub of his finger up against the bottom of his nose and bulge one eye out. This made it look like he had about two inches of finger up his nose. It really freaked people out to see him do that. He thought it was hilarious! So did we!
People that drive in the left lane and don't pass. Nothing irritates me more than that.
One if my pet peeves is when I'm in the right lane with my cruise control set, usually at 5 or 6 mph over and the guy in the left lane catches up to me but doesn't have the balls to go a little faster and pass me, so after a while there's a big string of cars behind both if us and nobody can get through the blockage. That pisses me off so sometimes I'll speed up and pull into the left lane in front of the guy that's blocking traffic and then I slow down so EVERYBODY can pass us in the right lane. Then I pull back into the right lane and resume my previous cruise controlled speed. Even then, sometimes the offending driver doesn't even seem to notice what happened!
I do things like this as well. I have really bad road rage though so I end up flipping people off and cussing it's pretty bad.
I know how you feel. This is the most extreme thing I do, and I'm always cognizant of the fact that I might be provoking road rage in the other guy, so I limit myself to just helping break up the blockage and not DELIBERATELY trying to antagonize the moron. I always remember the time a relative of mine had a road rage incident. They both pulled over. My relative ran up to the other drivers door to give him what for and found himself staring into the business end of a handgun.
I live in a tourist town so it is all the people visiting that end up pissing me off. I have probably ruined a few people's vacation with the yelling and middle finger. We have back roads for the locals so you can usually by pass traffic that way but some local business started handing out maps and showing the back ways. You can't get around with out running into someone driving 20 under the speed limit. Mind you on our back roads the speed limit is 35-40. So getting behind someone that is going 10-15 is so aggravating.
I don't like when you're catching up with someone and they ask you how you've been, or a direct question about some facet of your life, and you begin to answer when they interupt, or start talking about something else to someone else within the first sentence of what you're saying. It socially demoralizes me and from that point on I find no point in actually talking at all.
When people talk about their race/ethnicity in percentages. No one gives a shit if you're 15.3% Swedish - you're being 100% obnoxious.
When people wake me up rudely - ESPECIALLY when they randomly burst the door open then simply leave without saying anything. They're asking to be murdered.
When people make idiotic generalizations/assumptions. Basically a lack of common sense.
There's this person I work with. She is an older female. She's kind of a ditz too. It's like she's not all there or something.
She'll do this thing where she directs a question out loud (seemingly towards you), and when you go to answer it she'll cut you off and answer it herself. It's like she does it for the satisfaction of thinking she's smarter than you because she answered her own question or something... I don't know, she's so weird.
She often sings various (imagine someone yodeling) country lyrics. It's extremely irritating and makes me cringe every time.
The poor woman. Nobody really likes her, and everyone tends to talk shit about her behind her back. After much time though, I've come to the conclusion that she brings it upon herself. Anymore, I just ignore her unless I have to talk to her... I kind of feel bad, but it's just easier that way.
I have a bunch, but I'll go with people who get pets but don't take care of them properly. The people in my town seem to do this a lot. They buy dogs and cats but keep them outside all the time even when it snows and rains. They buy chickens but don't have a coop for them. These animals wind up wandering the streets all day and pooping in other people's property. Then when said animals get stolen or run over by a car they have the nerve to think they did nothing wrong and feel sad. They didn't give a shit when the animals were around, so I have a hard time believing they actually feel emotion when the animal dies. Also, when they move, they leave the animals behind, so either someone else winds up taking care of them or they get taken away by Animal Control.
People who act like their opinions are facts, bossy people and people who nag of course. It's 2am and that's all I could think of at the moment.
Religious self-righteousness is one of the lowest attitudes a person can have. Cultural superiority is a close second.
my pet gits peeved at strangers or squirrels on his property
that and bears
he chased a black bear up a tree recently
"I didn't have time."
It's especially annoying if it's perfectly evident that they had boatloads of time but chose to responsibly prioritise their job.
And zealots. Fuck zealots.
My car gives me a strong zap (static electricity) every time I get out of it. I think it's the microfibre cloth the seats are made of that does it. I should probably invest in some seat covers soon.
Slow drivers in the left lane and people who don't drive the speed limit. If you can't drive atleast the speed limit you shouldn't be on the road.
People who don't understand the concept of recycling and are not willing to even try to 'get it'
People who leave all of their rubbish on the beach
Disrespectful drivers. I'm afraid I may have a serious road rage incident one day.
People who cut you off or pull out right in front of you.
Honk at you rudely and/or for no reason (not to prevent an accident)
People who won't let you over when you need to get in an exit lane on the freeway.
People who speed like +20 mph over, people who drive too slow
I have little or no patience with people who have no common sense. I often wonder how they could have survived long enough that I actually meet them as adults.
I cannot be around them, as I will likely say something unkind, and I would rather not hurt their feelings. After all, they can't help who they are..
Those "oh my god. We have to take a selfie!" type girls.
When someone repeatedly says they are waking up and getting up but continue to lay there and sleep.
When I open up to someone about something important and they respond with something completely off subject.
When a person cancels plans at the very last minute.
People who tell joke after joke after joke and don't know when to stop.
Being followed around a store like I'm going to steal something.
Guys who brag about the many fights they've been in.
People who claim to hate dogs for generalized reasons.
When anyone claims that blacks are more racist.
Women with those forced "wide eye" smiles.
The term "pet peeve" drives me bonkers.
I hate seeing dogs with cropped ears simply for aesthetics.
It annoys me when people count their eggs before they hatch..
When people smack their lips and make pleasurable moaning sounds when they eat yummy food.
When people waste food like leftovers or spotty bananas.
People who don't take responsibility for their mistakes.
Basically any form of repetitive, distracting noises. I can't focus when the person next to me is tapping their finger on the table or typing loudly on the keyboard.
People who slander and create false reputation without knowing you personally.
Oh my. Thank you so much! I thought my comment offended you before. I know you can't reall it but I still do. Glad you didn't mind about it.
People that rationalize the shitty things they say about others by saying, "they probaby talk as much shit as I do."
