I am interested in what type of pet peeves people have. Some people want the tooth paste squeesed a certain way. Others want the toilet paper roll hanging a certain way. What is your pet peeve?

I have two pet peeves. The first one is people putting washing up that needs doing in the bowl before the water goes in. The second one is getting into the toilet and finding that the last user used up the loo paper and did not put a new roll up (even though the rolls are next to the loo on the cupboard)

Yes that is a good one, and another thing I can't stand is when I go to take a shower and the person who showered before me didn't put a new bar of soap in the shower when they finished it. I always gotta get out soaking wet and get another bar of soap! Ughhhhh

What about the shower tub combo's. The ones where you have to turn the water back to tub. If you don't when the next person turns it own they get soaked before they are ready!

I know what you mean about the empty toilet paper roll!!! It only takes a second. Give a little consideration to the next person!

My biggest pet peeve is when I read that other people are making money on other websites because it's too overwhelming for me to figure out how to make money myself and I'm envious becaue they're really smart, I wish I had they're skills to make money. Oh, well.

When people don't push their chairs in when they leave the table.... When people don't close the cabinets after they take something out of them

Oh no i can only list one ok my biggest one would have to be having a dirty sink, and why noone can open the dishwasher door and insert plate. No they just throw them on the counter or in the sink. Oh wow that sounds like more of a gripe then a peeve.

I understand this one! Why leave them in the sink if you have a dishwasher right there! I wish I had a dishwasher.

i have a few pet peeves but here are two right off the top of my head,my first one is when you are driving your vehicle down some hwy or country road at 55 and someone pulls out right in front of you and you have to put the brakes on just so that driver can go 300 feet or so to make a left hand turn. the other one is when someone is smoking and they smoke it right down to the filtertill the filter is burning.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people litter on purpose. It drives me crazy. These people are so lazy they can't hang on to their trash for a few minutes until they get to a trash can they just throw it on the ground and don't care who sees them do it.

My oldest daughter would pull people over and give them a ticket for throwing stuff out the window of the car if she could! Littering drives her crazy.

At work, my pet peeve is when co-workers do not try to get information by asking questions, or reading what’s given to them. They expect other people to retain all the information instead of using it to do their jobs properly. Then when they cannot do their jobs properly they want to place blame rather than take responsibility. A worker who has initiative and common sense is a rare but desirable thing. I wish I didn’t have to deal with annoying people.

It annoys me when: -People that don't stop calling you even when they know you are at school or work. -People start rumors(talk sh*t) that may give you or someone else a bad reputation. The only good thing is that when people know the truth, everything turns out fine, but I still hate that. -People who judge without knowing someone. -People that make a mess and just walk away hoping someone will clean up after them. It selfish, irresponsible, and just plain annoying. -Dog owners in your neighborhood walking their dog(s) with no leash and if the dog sees you it starts barking, or worse, chase you down the block(happens in my neighborhood a lot). WHAT THE HECK. Just put a leash on the dog. -People that walk slow in front of you and then sometimes stop it front of you to talk to others. -People that don't listen to anyone and think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. -Those websites that pay you 2cents for reading emails and they give you like 5 daily. -Spam mail -Paid Surveys Online -Spy ware/ Adware and more...

I understand the no leash thing. If you want to take them off the leash go to a dog park. Your dog isn't safe letting them run like that.

Yes I agree. My grand-daughter is bi-racial. People who are rude for no reason must have problems in their lives.

Pet peeves: People who drive while talking on the cell phone, or shop or anything else they shouldn't do while using a cell phone People who let their kids go running wild in stores, or letting them scream at the top of their lungs Rude people People who don't wash their hands after using the restroom

I understand the cell phones. When I worked in a restaurant people would be talking on the phone while you was trying to take their order. They would also let the kids run wold!!!

I have a few pet peeves. The one thing that irritates me the most is hearing someone repeat themselves over and over again. Makes it hard to be a mom, lol. The toliet paper roll bugs me. My husband turning up the music when he's cooking irritates me. My husband leaving the toliet seat up, after telling him germs get's everywhere when you flush with the seat up.

My pet peeve is people who chew with their mouth open. The noise and food being visible is just grose so is talking with food in the mouth. another one is long hair hanging in the face and dragging across the plate at meal time.
• United States

That is my dad's pet peeve. He is always telling people to chew with there mouth shut. Also don't smack your gum!

My biggest pet peeve would be in the work field when someone is stuck doing all the work and someone else is doing nothing at all. I used to have a job like this and I hated it because my coworkers would do nothing all day and I would have to get everything done. Some people need to work or leave the work force. Sorry if it sound mean but they call it work for a reason.

I know what you mean. I think I worked with those people too.

I agree. I call it STEALING. If you are not working and your boss is paying you, too, you have stolen.

I have to agree with these. Especially the full garbage can! Please just take it out and put a new trash bag in! Is that to much to ask?

Great Question! My pet peeve is people that are driving and doing other things (talking on the cell phone, putting on make up, reaching around to find something in the front seat or back seat, eating, etc). I used to live in a major city and they said that over 50% of the so called accidents (I call them on purposes) were done from people doing one of the above and not paying attention to the road. Whether people think they are great at multi-tasking, usually they are not. If they are only giving 1/2 their brain to driving and they meet another person doing the same there is sure to be an accident (on purpose). Life is too precious to not pay attention to what you are doing.

Yes lots of "accidents" are caused by people doing other things. Putting your make up on while you drive really upsets me. You are looking in the rear veiw mirror to do this. Excuse me you are not backig up!
