ok, Pet Peeves

[1BlackSheep]

Sometimes chewing gum has the same effect, it's like CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. Shhhh! ::

More annoying to me is when someone makes those popping noises with their gum. I just want to rip the gum right out of their mouth!

I was friends with this guy who was the loudest eater EVER. It was like ... barbaric. He would chew with his mouth open, shovel it in, talk, and breath in while chewing and stuff. It was gross haha.

Sounds like my BIL - he does all of the above AND burps at the table! Soooo disgusting!!!

I have too many pet peeves to list.

I'm gonna be a crotchety old lady when I get old.

 

[Arise87]

When someone sighs after every sip of coffee.

When people freak out when they find out you're not on facebook.

Really loud people at the movies.

Re: My pet peeve: SUVs

!eep!

I'm a perennial flaker, especially when I'm depressed. I get increasingly anxious as the time draws near, until I cross some threshold and bail.

I try very hard to let people know, but that means fabricating an excuse because I'm too ashamed to tell them the real reason, and I hate lying so much sometimes I won't be able to summon the courage to do that either.

Pathetic, I know.

O....I definitely am a flaker when I'm depressed. One day I'm full of confidence that I'll go do something and get out of the house, then I have a hard day, I feel like I'm galling apart. I'm so ashamed that I usually text that I'm sick. There have been times I don't have the courage to text or call and I've flaked..I did that at 2 jobs last year. I couldn't bear the thought of going but thinking of calling them made me sick to my stomach. It's a quality of myself I'm so embarrassed of and I'm trying to be more accountable for myself, but mostly I just stopped making plans.

Re: My pet peeve: SUVs

But as far as my pet peeves, ...people getting super drunk and expecting you to take care of them..plus drunk people are super annoying when you're sober....people asking me about jobs, how I lost a job, money, etc, cause it's nosy and annoying. Girls talking to my husband like I'm invisible, over all people treating me like I don't exist or have feelings because I'm quiet. And when someone is a slob...leaving things on the ground, not rinsing dishes, just basic things I learned to do as a child but most adults don't do when they're in my house. Man I sound like a stick in the mud lol

 

[lonely_drummer]

Well, if you're on public transit, you should turn your music down so no one can hear it. It's really annoying if I'm on bus/train/streetcar and I can hear your lyrics through the headphones....

Same here...if it makes you feel better I intend on becoming a grouchy old man sitting on the porch all day telling "those damn kids" to keep off my lawn.

But I was reading in the paper today about government bureaucrats and people in higher positions, thinking that its OK to use tax payers money as their personal bank account. One woman earns nearly half a million dollars a year but still manages to justify spending public money on luxurious items and overseas travel. Boy that gets me angry. There are people here who cant afford anything to eat or have a roof over their heads or have any money to for basic healthcare. They need to sort their priorities out.

Yeah thats pretty annoying too. I hate it when I am on the train and some inconsiderate person is playing their music so that everyone can hear. I am pretty sure not everyone likes my taste in music and I have no right to force it upon them in a public setting. I am sorry...but it's just rude.

This exact thing happened when I drove three hours with a friend. He got drunk in the car and, well, it's a long story but basically I had to take care of him. Not fun.

When people say two thousand twelve instead of twenty twelve.

I say "two thousand twelve." :/

People who are utterly obnoxious without even realizing it

People who are very intelligent and like to rub it in everyones face 24/7

When im walking at school and somebody peels out of a classroom without their head on a swivel and we collide like football players

 

[Shyangel]

One of my pet peeves are when people are vague ALLL the time, I mean, I'm asking you a question so I'm looking for details. Is it so hard to give a clear answer?!

Geez.....

 

[MikeyC]

smoking. people smoking in public. if you must smoke, do it at home. it's stinky

Yeah, I agree. I hate smoking altogether and I would love cigarettes to be banned completely. For the smokers out there, my views are pretty unpopular, but I have breathed in enough second-hand smoke I'm surprised I don't have emphysema. Or maybe I do.

My parents were the worst at this growing up. They would smoke in the car with my brother and I in the back seat. I tried telling them that opening a window doesn't help, but they wouldn't listen and would get annoyed at our complaining. I will never, ever smoke.

People who are very intelligent and like to rub it in everyones face 24/7

A friend of mine from Brisbane is kind of like this. While I do admire his intelligence, it can get tiring when he sprouts out facts he knows.

 

[MsBuzzkillington]

People who are utterly obnoxious without even realizing it

If they don't even realize that they are being obnoxious maybe you should tell them so they stop. If they are doing something and they think that it's fine with everyone, they are going to continue to do it and continue to annoy people. That doesn't seem very fair.



I say two thousands twelve, also. :: I didn't know it was wrong.

I am an ex smoker and I have been smoke free for nearly a year now. I tell you one (of many) of the motivating factors to quit for good was because of how unpopular it is. I wont ever smoke again... I cant believe I put my poor body through all of that....I would always notice the look of sheer disappointment when someone discovered you were a smoker....and let me tell you the quit was not pleasant (I still get the odd desire to smoke)

Lets see what else do I hate...

People who are over the top fake happy...sorry if that sounds a bit mean.. but it irks me when I say "how are you" and they say " I am absolutely fantastic...! Thanks for asking..! Rainbows and unicorns and flowers...YAAY"
I mean... come on...really? are you like that ALL the time? oh please..

^ That sentence got a laugh out of me, haha. I do understand where you're coming from though. Too much optimism isn't exactly a good thing.

No, we're saying it correctly.

Good on you for quitting, Kiwi. That takes a special effort because I can understand how addictive nicotine is. You say you still get the desire to smoke sometimes ("once a smoker, always a smoker") but it's good you're able to repress them. Well done, my friend.
