Pet Peeves?

[xfivebyfive]

I'm the opposite of most people on here but I absolutely HATE it when people correct my grammar. I hate grammar because I had the hardest time learning it and I still misuse "they're/their/there" accidently even though I know which is the right one to use. So it drives me insane when people correct me because I've worked really hard on my grammar despite hating it lol and when people correct me I just want to type in text talk to get back at them lol.

Another thing I hate is when people stand behind me while I'm at the computer. I'm like GO AWAY!! My brother does it all the time and sometimes he will stand behind me chewing..........I tend to want to hit him when he does that.

Oh, I have a few....

Drivers not using their blinkers. It's also called a turn SIGNAL. As in, use it BEFORE you turn.
Drivers not using their cruise control.
Smoking. To each their own, but...yuck. It stinks and causes waste. And could kill you.
Bad grammar.
Unmade beds.
Spitting. Disgusting.
Cussing. It's unnecessary and sounds ignorant.
The overuse of the word "like". I like, can't like, stand it, when like, people like, talk like this.
Dog-walkers not picking up after their dogs.
People that litter or spit gum on the ground.

Ok, I think I'm done now.

 

[Fusions2]

People who change their mind constantly or say one thing and do the complete opposite.

People clearing their throats with their mouths open. It sounds gross.

People using the world as an ashtray when they're driving, dropping first their ashes, and then their dirty stinking butts, all over the streets. Don't cars come with ashtrays any more?

"Anyways." People, it's "anyway," not "anyways."

People who use text-message-speak on Internet forums or Facebook.

Leaving lights on when you're not in the room. Or worse, when you're not home. That, and people who sing out loud, very loudly, regardless of what someone else *cough...roomate...cough* might be doing *cough....trying to sleep....cough*.

Does people telling me what to do count? 'cause I really can't do something if someone orders me and tells me I have to do it. I get annoyed as hell.

 

[zobothehobo]

When people tell me to calm down when I'm not upset. (worse)
When people tell me to calm down when I am upset. (less bad, still annoying)
When people "remind" me to do something I'm already doing.

 

[Abbeycat]

Lots of stuff.

Like Zobo mentioned, when people do not shut the door all the way.


---

When people don't throw their trash away.
When people liter the streets because then I've gotta try to drive around it.
I hate the sound of people smacking their gum loudly. Just the sound of someone chewing gum loudly is cringe worthy for me. I just don't like the sound.

That bothers me too!!!!!!! When people don't use their blinkers and they merge into your lane or when they just don't use their blinker for something else. It's like HELLO! How can you not use your blinker when your turning somewhere or if your merging into the lane?

I hate when people don't btob, I specifically say on the invites to byob, and they just don't. I HATE IT SO MUCH!!!

<<Old Master 3.0 agrees: Do you have any objections to "anyhoo"?>>

LOL, no. "Anyhoo" is lighthearted. "Anyways" is just wrong. 🙂

There are two things my DH does that drive me nuts.

When we're planning to go out to dinner, he always asks me first where I want to go, says "no" to my choice, and I ask him where he wants to go and I always say "yes" to his choice. Why can't we skip that first step?

Also sometimes, like when it's dark and we need the lights on, I'll start to turn them on and just as my hand is hitting the switch he says "Turn the lights on." "Yes, dear, that's exactly what I'm doing right now."

Oooh, DH habits...

Walks around the house with shoes on
Leaves clothes all over our bedroom
Leaves dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher
Sits on the couch with his laptop, TV on, talking on his cell, listening to his radio (he's a firefighter and EMT)
Doesn't keep up cleaning the litter boxes!! (Normally, I do it, but since I'm all preggo now....)

What's wrong with walking around the house with shoes on????? We have scorpions here and it's pretty much mandatory to have some form of shoes on.

The other stuff would drive me nuts too. 🙂 Fortunately, both my DH and I are neat freaks. I'd be beside myself if he were a slob. 'Course, we've produced a son who is a total slob - go figure!

Something that REALLY bugs me is when people ask me the day of the week. I'm like, "Hello??? Just use your brain, for heavens sake!!!"
Also when people are behind me when I'm using that computer, even if they aren't looking at my screen, it still really bugs me. I have to sit against a wall whenever I use my computer.

 

[Goldilocks]

I HATE when people eat noisily.
