What are your pet peeves? Things that totally get to you and annoy the heck out of you?
For me, one of my major pet peeves is when people cut me in line, especially when it is a very long line. It gets me so annoyed because when they cut in line (because say their friend is there saving a place for them) it makes the whole line just so much slower. I also don't like it when the guys in my house does not lift the toilet seat and in turn pees all over it, leaving the females to wipe off after them or something.

No hook in the bathroom stalls for my purse! Big pet peeve of mine!

Eww!! I hate that because it's so hard to manage without the hook and I hate putting things on the bathroom floor because it's all wet and dirty with who-knows-what!!

I think my per peeve is when people call football players, rock stars and such heroes, to me a hero is someone so special, someone who has given up their life or risked their lives for others, call football players legends or rock stars idols but not heroes....out of respect for those who really deserve that label.... stepping off my soapbox :)

People who call you, make the appointment with you, then don't show up, with out calling you.
Parents who you can hearing yelling at their kids in the store "No, No No,You can't have that, I said No" then you see them buying it for them anyways,
People who bite there nails,
fingerprints on the t.v
Just to name a few...oh wait people who even though they know my name, say it wrong anyways.

Those kinds of lenient parents are just giving their kids more positive reinforcement.

One of my huge pet peeves is lateness. I mean I don't mind 5 minutes or so....but more than that, drives me nuts. Especially when you are meeting someone outside. You end up standing there looking like a doofus waiting. I feel like it shows very little respect for the person you are meeting.
Along that same line, I hate it when the person I am waiting for...who is already 10 minutes late, calls me to tell me that they are going to ANOTHER 15 minutes late. Didn't they know they were going to be almost a half hour late before they called me. Some warning would have been nice...rather than me standing around wasting time.
On my first date with my current boyfriend...I got to the meeting spot early....and he was already there. I always teast him that that's why he got a second date.

Do you mean you waiting for someone else? Or someone else waiting for you?

I hate the cutting in line thing as well. I also hate people stopping me on the street to give me advice or tell me something ridiculous like, "Your baby has no hat." Duh, I hadn´t noticed!
Other peeves include store clerks who won´t attend me because I´m white (I live in Guatemala), opening a bag of chips only to find that they don´t even fill half the bag!, and being pushed off the sidewalk by groups of people who can´t be bothered to drop behind each other when passing you.

Oh yeah! Totally, also, another thing that gets to me is people who are walking along a very narrow pathway and sees some friend and they just totally stop there in the middle of nowhere to talk, thus holding up all the traffic.

I hate when someone else decides to "tidy up" a room with things that belong to me in them and then I lose my stuff and the person forgets where they put it and says "You shouldn't have left that out!" That happens to me a fair bit. I'm a cluttered person! Online people who type there instead of their and vice versa, your instead of you're and hay instead of hey make me cringe. I also hate when I get 5-6 IM's right when I logon to MSN, but at least in that case I can be appreciative I have friends that want to talk to me =)

People who are stuck-up, people who give up, and people who lie. I catch a lot of people lying to me, in front of me, it is not cool. Anyone who cries "wolf" in front of me, will get no love from me.

A few of mine are...I hate it when someone tries to carry on a conversation with me when I'm busy doing something else. People who talk and/or smack their food while eating. A left up toilet seat geez whiz if they can lift it up they should be able to put it back down. Poeple who leave their messes whether at home or work for others to clean up. Parents who put their wants and/or needs before their young children. People who talk really loud even tho you're right in front of them. Guess that's enough for now lol

Yes, I totally agree with you for the one where you said people who smack while eating. It gets so on my nerves. Sometimes I wonder if they can just keep their mouths closed or something. It bugs me a lot.

I have a lot of them, but most of them have been posted here.
I dislike when someone squeezes the toothpaste in the middle, people that smack their lips or don't close their mouth when chewing. when a grown up cannot clean up after themselves,when someone is not cordial to other drivers. I mean, what's the hurry. Nothing pleases me more than a person zizzagging around cars that they deem are too slow and then they meet up at the redlight. Hurry up to stop? Come on. I usually clap, for them to see, on their accomplishment!
One of my biggest pet peeves and grossouts is when someone has spit on a sidewalk where I have to walk....ewwww.

My biggest pet peeve is actually really strange. I cannot, for the life of me, stand to hear other people chewing their food. It's not even like they're being rude, but if I can hear someone chewing their food, I go a little stir crazy.

One of my pet peeves is when u are talking to someone and suddenly their cell phone rings. They pick it up and start talking with that person instead of you. Also, I hate it when people come late to class and start asking questions about things that were already reviewed.

I am very intolerant and just about everything annoys me. Yes, pushing in queues being a particular annoyance especially traffic queues. Why do the drivers think everybody else is in line and why do the drivers at the front of the queue let them get away with pushing in? I would love to make some money on line so that I can spend more time talking to the wonderful people on MyLot and not have to get so annoyed. My hasband is very calm which I am trying to get to rub off on me but sometimes just adds to the annoyance. No wonder I had high blood pressure!

I live in the heart of our city and my biggest pet peeve stems from all the one way streets we have here. Sometimes, actually, I,ve seen it a few times. Some jacka$$ going down the rong way of a one way street. What if someone is looking one way down the street, where they expect traffic to be coming from and they don,t happen to look the other way, because they dont expect anything the oppisite way to come from there. Guess what! They might get hit! Lots of lawsuits waiting to happen. I hate all these one way streets because of that.
I,ve seen a street that turns into a one way after you cross a main street and some a$$ just barrels down the wrong way of the one way street after crossing the
main street and not seeing the Do Not Enter this sign specifying it is one way. He was asking to get into a head on with somebody. I would have just ignored the accident and NOT called for 911 if I found the accident later if it DID happen! I was so f***ing mad!
Last time, I tried to wave down a truck that turned down the wrong way on this street and warn him. He just barrels down the wrong way on the same one way street also.I just can not trust drivers around here to look and see what they are supposed to do! I am so petrified of getting run over because of these drivers who do NOT pay attention.

My biggest pet peeve is people who complain about everything. nothing is OK with them. Then they ask for your advice and you give them a solution and they say "oh I can't do that" Then don't ask for my opinion and don't complain to me about your problems I have enough of my own.
