what are your pet peeves?

Post Reply New Topic

My mom yelling at my sister and me for no apparent reason.

Texting and driving

The replacing of a word with a letter. Example: "r" in place of "are".

Excessively loud TVs in small rooms. My old roommate would have the volume set to 25 and I kept it on 10-13.

The usage of Facebook to passively talk to someone, e.g., event invites. Personally, I'd rather someone to directly message me or call me if I'm going to be invited to an event.

People touching my laptop.

Slow walking individuals.

People who say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".

Whistling.

Chewing gum with mouth open or with those little annoying popping sounds.

Drivers who don't use turning signals.

Smokers who litter cigarette butts.

Butterflies.

One of my main peeves is people who try to ram religion down my throat. To wit:


1. When I sneeze, people say "God bless you." What does that even mean?

2. If I narrowly escaped death in a car crash, people will say, "God was looking over you. It wasn't your time." Really? How do you know that? You have a direct line to this entity no one has seen?

3. If I win the lottery, someone will say, "Isn't God great?" No. I was just lucky, that's all.

4. If I found a mate, somebody is bound to say, "God brought you two together." Oh, yeah? He told you that in an email?

5. When I went down south, I was broke and hungry then I found a soup kitchen. The woman there said, "God brought you here." No. The gnawing hunger in my stomach brought me here.

When someone leaves the toilet seat up

Scattered glasses some half empty

A soiled environment

Loud and rude behaviour

I hate it when people try to strike up conversation with me while I'm eating.

Backseat gamers. If I need help with something, I'll ask.

Necroposting

People who complain and never do anything to solve their problems

Pedestrians who think they don't need to watch for cars and think they can just step out in front of them or be expected to be seen in blind spots or be seen at night when they are wearing dark colors than letting the driver getting the chance to notice them first.

Cyclists running red lights

Necroposting

People arguing over things that I never even said and putting words in my mouth

People making ASSumptions

Stupid people

Intelligent people being stupid (I think this is the worst because I then think they are just trolling because obviously they are more intelligent than what they are saying if they have a science degree)

Littering

Religion, (keep it out of my face, it's boring and it's like telling me the earth is flat and handing me information about it)

People who are just looking for an arguement

People who speed
