1. people standing in the middle of a door way or pathway.
2. people driving up beside a line of cars in a lane that ends and cutting off the driver in front (srsly why do grown people still try to cut in line, it's like kindergarten every day)
3. for a wedding related one: people who buy gifts that are not on the registry. why do people DO this?
haha amandopolis, those are great ones...i especially liked 2 and 3...i SOOOOO agree with you!!!
1) putting the toilet paper on with the flap under the roll, lets be real its much easier to grab it off from over the roll!
2) people who smoke in entrance ways
3) wedding- why people don't RSVP when the stamp is already attached to the envelope. It really is not that difficult!
1)I HATE when people try to strike up conversations in the bathroom. I'm there for a purpose and that purpose ain't to chat!
2)And while we're at it, wash your hands before you leave!
3)Wedding-related: RSVP already, people. We're only a couple weeks out, and I asked you to respond FOR A REASON!
1) My FI wants a rottweiler. I saw "pet peeve" and thought of that. i hate rotties, they're so dumb!
2) People poking their head into my cube, then coming to stand behind me. Are you spying? It's creepy!
3) People letting their babies scream in a restaurant. UGH UGH UGH. do you not see me sending you the death glare? or "awww he barfed!" Ew, not cute.
4) People insinuating that i'm spending my own money foolishly. i have a job and i prioritize. I don't eat out, but i have a coach purse. Deal with it!
I have a slurper in my office too. It's really annoying. In general, I have a lot of pet peeves. People in general just get under my skin sometimes!
My biggest is when things are not even. i am so carzy about it that i know smarty packages are made with 15 peices.
I also hate when people chew with their mouths open.
people who drive both lanes at once. really why cant they pick a lane.
And I apologize to everyone who's pet peeve is grammar and typos especially on messageboards. I am a really bad culprit of that!
1.) One of my biggest pet peeves is a specific behavior of one of my bosses at work. She walks around in the morning and says hello to every single person in the office (22 people) individually, asks, "How you doing?," and then just sort of stands there as if she expects you to chat with her. Every. Single. Day. She, in general, makes me extremely uncomfortable, so when this occurs, it's even more uncomfortable. She is not native to the U.S., and I wonder if maybe she just doesn't understand the social cues (like, how to tell when someone doesn't want to talk to you), and I know she's just trying to be nice....but I can't STAND it.
2.)Grammar mistakes drive me crazy.
3.) People (ie. my roommates) who leave dishes in the sink, especially with food left on them, and most especially bowls with cereal/milk still in them. If you have a dishwasher, put them in there. If you don't or it's full, wash them and put them away.
4.) My female roommates who do not clean up their stray hairs in the bathroom. The hairs proceed to get stuck to the counter/shower wall and it just grosses me out. I always clean up after myself if it happens, and I'm blonde -- but my two roommates have very dark, noticeable hair. Hair in the shower drain is a no-no as well.
5.)People who are obsessed with celeb gossip...especially, recently, those who are obsessed with Michelle Obama's arms, hahaha.
I agree with the previous comments about people blocking doorways/pathways and walking too slowly!
I hate the food noises too, but I have an unreasonable aversion to them. I can't stand crunching, like chips or something, even if there's no way around it. I literally cringe when people chomp on ice!
A lot of these pet peeves seem to be basic rudeness.
But I totally agree on the no-conversations in the bathroom! What about when someone's on the phone in the bathroom?
My last pet peeve: in stores when people decide not to buy something and they just leave it anywhere. I especially worry when I find something like yogurt on the chips aisle-- I hope the store doesn't put it back for sale, but why did that person not take it back to the fridge? That's incredible disrepectful and ruining the store's merchandise.
JenineD -- I'm the opposite, I'm a toilet paper behing the role, just looks better to me lol.
My peeves:
LOL -- I have a lot, and there are probably others that drive me nuts too
When people drive while talking on their phones! Hang up and focus on the road, people. You can call back when you're outta the car.
You know, when people say you look tired, you just say "yeah i stayed up late with all this awesome sex we had last night"
Ok J/K i know that's not office appropriate. I usually say "gee thanks I usually make it a point not to tell YOU when you look like crap" but in that sarcastic sort of way. Am I kidding or not? Only I know ![]()
I had a kiddie leash
One of my peeves is when parents let their kids run amuck, though. Then I almost run them over and the parents get mad at ME for not being able to see their kid that is 5 feet shorter than me. Ugh! I can't win!
I totally agree with the walking in the middle of the aisle, sidewalk, etc! Why do people do that!
What gets me on a daily basis are the people that cut in front of you then drive 10 under the speed limit.
Also the phrase "I don't mean to complain but..." actually you do mean to complain because if you didn't then you wouldn't be standing in front of me about to complain.
I waitress a few nights a week and my biggest pet peeve there are the people who tell me they are ready to order but then still take five minuets looking over the menu, while I stand there at their table looking like an idiot. I promise that Im not going to go home while you still need to order, I will come back.
GaBGal...kind of along the lines of your #4...I HATE when people treat employees like dirt. It's like they think they are better because they're not the one at the cash register or the one taking orders. Ugh, that drives me nuts! EVERYONE should be treated with dignity and respect. I don't care how much money you have. No one has the right to treat someone like an inferior.
People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom!! I am a huge germaphobe and this behaviour really bugs me!
And... people who don't signal when making turns.
4. hehe ChelseaMorning.. I'll stand there if I'm going like, one stop, and if someone else goes by and suck myself up against the wall lol.
Other Metro Peeves... when people talk SO loud about things you do NOT want to hear, When someone's card doesn't work and they just stand there in front of the turnstyle trying to force it to scan (just go to the booth and get out of our way), also when you head down the escalator and people just congregate on the bottom instead of making their way down the platform (thats okay, I wanted to run right into you as I try to hop off the "moving stairs")
1. People eating my girl scout cookies. I bought them so ask before you take!
2. Dog poop on the sidewalk. It is DISGUSTING.
3. Lateness. If you are going to be late to meet me, etc, have the courtesy to call and let me know. Your time is not more important than my time.
4. My fiance not paying bills on time. I love when we have to pay late fees...so much fun.
5. People telling me what I should be doing for MY wedding. If you want to pay for it, then you can speak up otherwise shut it.
hahaha I love this post!
lolamd -- your girl scout cookie post cracks me up. I am the SAME way, I look forward to them all year round, I will need a box to myself. Thank you.
What used to annoy me the MOST at my previous job was when someone would walk into my office and say "Can I ask you a question?"...ummm...another question? because you JUST asked me one....urgh...just say whatever you came in here to say...okay getting down off my soapbox now.
hehehe happilywaiting -- one of my friends from college and I always used to joke about that one person in class who would raise their hand and say " Hi! I have a question ".... duh, that's why you raise your hand.
@AnnieBear: TURN SIGNALS! GAH! I cannot stand if when people just change lanes or turn without using a signal. If my mom is in the car with me, she makes snarky little comments like -- Oh, I guess they had to pay extra for their turn signal...
@ChelseaMorning & GaBGal: My biggest metro pet peeve are tourists that get snappy when you politely ask them to stand to the right on escalators if you want to hustle and climb on the left. I had a lady snap at me once and ask where the fire was. (Sorry, not all of us are on vacation here.)
Other things that rile me up: line cutters (esp if I've been waiting patiently for the line to creep forward), people that use express check out lines with a full buggy of groceries, and missing trains by a minute.
haha, I used to wait tables, too, in some hoosier little town, mind you. And people always treated me like I was stupid, asking me "are you sure you can remember that, hon?" because I didn't always write stuff down, especially for like, 2 people. Or when they'd ask me how many kids I had at home when I was 19....ugh. I usually made it a point to casually mention that i was going to college for X degree....most people were relatively uneducated in this town, so if you're going to make ME feel stupid, I'm going to make you put your foot in your mouth. While this is really rude to do (and i know that), i can only be talked to like I'm stupid so many times! Plus, the 13% tips in that town were only worth so much butt-kissing
Another server peeve, when someone changes their order to a completely different thing (that is also on the menu), like:
"Can I have the BBQ Chedder Cheeseburger? But, no BBQ sauce, and can I have american instead of chedder? Is there anyway I can get ranch on it?"
"Why yes, you cna order the American Ranch Burger, that way you don't need to change the order and tick off the cooks in the back!"
*Also, I'm actually not a Moody Maggie, I just seem to have a lot of pet peeves this week and having fun responding on this post lol
@GaBGal I totally agree why don't people read the menu!
@ejs4y8 I have people ask me all the time if im going to remember their order. Well I have a college education so im pretty sure I can remember what you just said. I know I shouldnt care what strangers think of me but I feel like I have to explain that Im working two jobs so we can pay for our wedding without going into debt.

Alright bees, tell us the truth. What are some of the little things that really get you steaming? I always like to know what other people's pet peeves are and if any are the same as mine. List your biggest pet peeves and let's find out if we share any!
Some of my biggest pet peeves are:
- People leaving their dog's poo in the middle of the sidewalk (so gross!)
- talking loudly on cell phones in public places like restaurants or stores where it's quiet enough that you can hear their entire conversation
- making excessively loud noises while eating or drinking (I used to work with a lady who would slurp water and then say "aahhh" after every slurp...ugh...)
What are the little things that people do/say that drive you nuts???
