What are your pet peeves?

Neighbour's washing machine part 2!

On again on Christmas Eve, then they went out and didn't return until Christmas Day (briefly). Presumably to switch off and empty. Forward to Monday, washing must have been dry because then had twenty minutes of opening and closing drawers. All on glides so there's no need to make that much noise. Same afternoon as every room I was in, they seemed to be above

They haven't realised that if the machine catches fire/leaks whilst they're out then their insurance will be invalid. Probably not bothered as landlord pays it.

Rude people
Self-important people
Bad drivers
Cyclists who think they do not need to follow the rules of the road
Hypocrites
Mean people
Judgemental people (they are usually also hypocrites, AND mean!)
People who think they're experts in everything
Doctors who don't listen
Ingrates, boorish careless types
People who know you need help but remain aloof anyway
Anyone who engages in any kind of cruelty
Anyone who leaves a mess for someone else to clean up
Thoughtless neighbours (I've been there many a time)
Passive-Aggressive people (I had two relatives, and a sister-in-law, who are like this)
Anyone who engages in emotional abuse of any kind (bullies, haters, schemers, liars, etc.)
The Willfully Ignorant
The Completely Insensitive (seems to be very fashionable, these days, unfortunately)

...I'll probably think up more, later...

- Humble-bragging
- People who insist on having their way all of the time or a one-sided relationship
- People who repeat doing things that are irritable after being told to stop it
- Show offs
- Gloating
- One upping
- Those who bring up people or events from the past that's cringe-worthy

perfectly good songs having dance remixes

I love dance, it makes me feel good- but when you have a classic song from the 80's or the 70's made in to a dance remix, it just seems a bit.... well, blah

that, and you never hear the original again after that

I know....and to me, the originals are usually better in many ways to begin with.

In general I don't go for remakes or reboots (like of old tv shows). Nothing like the original. They always think they can make it better. Why not just make something new and original instead of "updating" a classic?

People slamming doors.....whether it's from a car, apartment, etc. Alarming, annoying and unnecessary. Just CLOSE the freaking door already!

When people bang on my door. I have PTSD and loud noises trigger me. My father does this and it always makes my heart start pounding a lot.

No PTSD but I startle easily as mentioned below. The doorbell is even louder and more alarming than the knocking, since it "echoes" around the foyer area. Stupid design.

Makes me think: if the clocks are wrong then - are we measuring time accurately? What is time? Haha.

I tend to be a bit put out by bad language.

Power outages with no warning. Sometimes the lights flicker to warn you it might go out. It's just seconds but it's something. We just had one but thankfully it came back in less than a minute. I was cooking at the time!

Also when the cable or reboots. It never warns me; it just reboots or crashes usually in the middle of something I'm watching. I wish it would do it overnight more often, if it's necessary.

I hate it when I have to reboot my router because the wifi has gone out.

Why getting major surgery done that is considered cosmetic to most people is easier then getting your legal name changed.

Shows how shallow our culture is, in my opinion.

In Texas, they say that providing care to trans kids is child abuse

right now, it's people moaning about this current heatwave

yep- it's hot

yep- you're probably sweating

yep- you are finding it hard to consontrate

but telling me isn't going to fix it... try a fan. lol

undercooked food on a BBQ

it's bad enough in an oven

LOL at myself. Every time I see this subject line I see it as "what are your pets' peeves"

I have a huge pet peeve of people crossing their arms , especially in the workplace where a coworker or customer crosses their arms. To me it's exceptionally rude and in no way could possibly be a positive body language. To me, it is the most negative body language even more powerful than the middle finger.

I try very hard never to cross my arms or shove my hands in my pocket especially at work. To me they are very poor body languages.

I also find certain voices to be nails on a chalkboard, particularly the grating nasally "couldn't possibly be more bored in life yet have to make negative criticism on everything they see." I can't possibly describe what this sound is like, but it's awful.

When I lived farther north, I crossed my arms a lot because I was cold and trying to preserve warmth. Where I live now, I don't have to do that.

Yes, that is the exception to the rule...I do recognize that people do that when they're cold, but to do it otherwise is poor body language.

Something I do that irritates other people is slouching which is my own personal bad body language....but I have scoliosis and a bad back so it can be painful to sit up straight.

I think one of Sir’s peeves is all the animals outside hoping away! But I think he’d be scared if the glass that separates him were to suddenly vanish!

My cat is peeved by other animals. He thinks he's human, lol.

Something that my pet does to annoy me is lick the table after I'm done eating.

I hate when people eat and drink while on the phone with me. It's in my ear why the hell do I want to listen to chewing and gulping? EWWW!!!!!
