We all have those little things that annoy us. What are your pet peeves?

I too have a few peeves. I hate hearing someone say, "for someone and I." For is a preposition, therefore, it should be, "for someone and me." I also hate it when I'm trying to read and someone turns on the television in the room I'm in. We have televisions all over the house. Why can't they watch one of the others?

I would have to say there are three major pet peeves that I have... Number one; when my other half is using some kind of electrics versus spending a little quality time with me, while my son is sleeping... Having to have to wait until he is done with what ever is so flipping important that I have to wait!! One day he does not realize this but I wont be waiting.. I will be going... I am more important that something that you can plug into the wall... Granted we all need some down time... I like that... it is just that he is gone most of the time; out on the road... so whats wrong with shutting everything off and just having each others company; talking about issues that we need to talk about face to face and not over the phone or internet... Second major pet peeve; when we are on the phone and my son is not listening to me... he is in the background laughing.. how in the heck is that suppose to help the situation.. Is that suppose to make me calm down or something? When my son is getting on my last nerve.. No it just makes it worst, then he wonders why I hang the phone up or just set it down, in another room until I take care of the situation... The third; I guess its an expectation.. which should not be there... because that just sets me up for disappointment.. Anyways.. When I am really excited about something and want to share.. what the heck is wrong with looking at it?? I do the same thing for others..

Oh, modern packaging annoys me, too! It just seems impossible to get into anything these days. I can kinda understand WHY they do it, but come on! Isn't there an easier and better way of going about it? But anyway... some of my pet peeves... Well, I seriously can't stand it when people eat and chew with their mouth open. I can't stand the smacking noise whether it's food or gum. Doesn't matter, I just can't stand the noise. And it's ten times worse when it's something crunchy! OMG!!! It makes me want to hit someone. I also can't stand it when people drag their feet when they walk. Oh, and poor grammar and spelling can get to me, too. Especially when there's just no excuse for it. And those are just a few of my pet peeves. I have more, but I think I'll leave it at that. LOL

Nobody is perfect, I have some pet peeves as well. I get annoy when someone didn't ask permission to over, use or get my things. I wouldn't mind lending my things if the person will ask permission to borrow it. I also don't like it when someone borrows my things and don't give it back. If they borrow it, they should give it back. If they want to have that certain things, they should have told me in first hand.

Hi Karen! When I am reading something I prefer that it should be calm and peaceful atmosphere, however, when someone in the family switches on the TV with high volume, I feel irritated. I wish that those who wants to enjoy TV programmes or music should listen in a low volume so that others should not feel disturbed. Secondly, those drivers who drive their vehicles mindless and carelessly on the busy roads, makes me irritated. I wish that they should be immediately caught by the traffic cops and may be sent to some training school so that they could behave properly while driving on the roads.

hi peaceful as you may know I am in a retirement center. well we get calls to take phone calls and the person announcing will get too close to the microphone so you hear blah blah you are wanted on the phone,line two, well fine if you could only decipher what the first two words were that she called. the part about wanted on the phone does no good if the person she is trying to call does not hear it. for some reason in the visitors lounge some of the residents turn the volumn up on the television so it is blaring then the clerk tries to call someone for whatever reason and half the time the person called cannot hear his or her name because the tv is so loud it drowns out the call. those really annoy me. You sometimes think someone has called you because half of the words sound like your first or last name but when you go downstairs,no its not for you at all. another annoyance is those packages you were telling us about. I usually give up and get my trusty old scissors out and cut the item out of the package. my strips for my glucometer come in little packages with a too tight strip across the opening so I just cut it open with the scissors. no use fighting that stuff.

There is a lot of things that annoy me. I think my biggest pet peeves are my kids saying WHY, after I tell them no. It's to a point I have told them that WHY is a dirty word in my house. My husband keeping the tv to loud when I'm trying to sleep. Especially during the school year, when I have to get up at 6:15. I could go on and on about my pet peeves, but I don't have enough time, plus I don't want to become a annoyance by writing a book about it.

my pet peeve is people who live like slobs they do not care how their home looks if its clean or dirty I like a clean home and men who think house work is just for females

Pet peeves...those annoyances that really seem not worth mentioning but still...they get on your nerves? I work in the public...a convenience store...next to a bar...got tons of pet peeves! Scratch ticket people who just make it a hobby to buy a few go out to their car and scratch and return...over & over...very annoying. I really do have a lot of little peeves but honestly they aren't peeving at me tonight. I had the night off from work and went to an awesome barbecue and enjoyed a great day & evening with some very cool people so I really am at a loss to really come up with any meaningful complaints on the world.

My biggest pet peeve is what I call the empty box scenario. This is when someone uses the last of something (or just about the last of something-leaving to little to be useful) and then puts the empty container back. For example eating the last bit of cereal leaving a few bits and crumbs in the box, and then putting the box back one the shelf. What invariably happens is I then want a bowl of that cereal and end up with crumbs in a bowl. Hello, just throw the box away! Don't tease me like that. I think this is a slight variation of the empty toilet paper roll.

Hi Karen...Oh My God I have so many pet peeves I don't think anything could possibly be left out. I have OCD and it just about drives me crazy if I get a fly in the house and I cannot rest or relax until it has either went back outside by it's on power or by mine and the fly swatter. Another thing that is really bad for me is to have someone come in my house and touch or move my things from where I have them. Even if it is sat back down exactly as it was I can still tell it has been picked up, and I have to pick it up and put it where I had it exactly. This is a very bad disorder to have because it really elinates you from people and you exist with your own company because that is the only time you are happy. So as you see I have alot of pet peeves and I wish I didn't have. flutterby

Modern packaging can be a nightmare, lol. Especially when you want to open it in the car but you don't have anything to open it with. I finally got smart and left a pair of scissors in the glove box. Doesn't matter though because even with tools it seems it is so easy to hurt yourself getting it open. :) Inconsiderate and bad mannered people drive me insane. Bad drivers are also on the list. People who have cell phones glued to their ears without pause even when driving or checking out. People who don't pick up their dog poo in public places. Rude salespeople. People who go through the drive thru and order the whole menu or don't know what to order and take an hour just to figure it out. When people walk as slowly as possible across the crosswalk because they love making you wait for them. I walk a lot but always try to clear a crosswalk as fast as I can rather than at snail's speed. When there are a group of people who are chatting and using curse words when my children, and sometimes other children, are around and they know they are there but continue to use bad language regardless.

I too have them, like you said mosquitoes me too that's a big pet peeves.

I have to admit Karen those same things bug me like crazy as well . What i seriously cant stand and drives me insane when you go to the grocery store and there is ppl in the isle that are talking about who knows what blocking the whole isle with the baskets and they look at u as if You are the one that did something wrong.Kinda makes you feel like saying sorry to interupt your very important conversation:\. Another is when you try to be nice and hold the door open for someone and the whole city decides to walk through so you end up standing there which seems like 4 ever for everyone lol those are the things that really drive me mad.lol

Hi there Peaceful Woman! One of my pet peeves is those writings which uses sticky caps or something like ThIs. I mean, I don't see the point why one would do that. I understand better those who right in BLOCK or all lowercase. Sticky caps just hurt my eyes.

Hi PeacefulWmn9! I have a lot of pet peeves... Yeah, I have a very long list. LOL! But, let me share some of that long list. For one, I really hate drivers who tailgate. There are many of them here in our place. Most of them are cab drivers. Another pet peeve I have are people who thinks that the world owe them big time that they are so inconsiderate and insensitive to the needs of others.

People calling me 'hun' or referring to 'hubby'; drivers who tailgate; kids eating their nose-pickings; petrol being priced at 104.99pence a litre... why not just 105p and be done with it!; dog poo; "celebrities" who are actually 'nobodies'; tea/coffee stains on surfaces; wet toilet seats... hmm yeah, I sound like one of the 'Grumpy Old Women' - I'm quite a cheerful, easy-going peron really...

Hubby talking to me from another room and all I hear is a mumble. Cloths that miss the dirty cloths hamper, now how hard can it be to open the lid and put them in. Eating the last cookie and not saying anything. All these and more.

I have many pet peeves. Too many, in fact. :) One of my biggest pet peeves, however, is when people don't put their grocery carts away. They just leave them in the middle of the parking lot. Really, people! Is it so hard to walk down the lane a little bit and put the cart where it is supposed to go? It really irks me when people don't put them away even when they are parked next to the stall. It drives me crazy! And no, I have never worked at any place where I have had to retrieve carts. It just bothers me when people are so lazy because the carts become an inconvenience to others.

I can't stand it when my last name is misspelled in any way, shape, or form. Mispronounce it all you want, but don't you dare put a capital 'D' and a small 'L' in place of the small 'D' and capital 'L' or I will haunt you. Another one of my pet peeves is when someone misspells the easiest words, especially if the misspelling is intentional, as in text-speak. Example: "Know" is spelled with a 'w' at the end, folks...it's not spelled "kno" or even (I love this one) "no". That drives me up the wall. Some other pet peeves: people talking on their cell phones while driving, people talking and laughing in places that are supposed to be quiet (e.g., library, church, movies), someone interrupting me while I'm reading...I could go on, but I won't. lol
