What are your pet peeves?

People (friends of my nephew/niece) being rude, disrespectful or too carefree in the house or apartment I also live in

When a date is given but no DATE. It's just one additional word! This applies to banners, electronic road signs, bills, etc. "Road closed July 24th". I thought "What DAY is that?!!!!"

And noisy cars. There's enough noise in the world and the engine noises really echo in my building.

When pdocs and therapists don't care about weight gain but lose their **** over weight loss.

Pretty sure the reason they do that is because they invariably get it wrong! That is, the day does not match the date! So then when is it?

Adult women who do not know the difference between ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. Have encountered so many of them lately that it is frankly scaring me.

Thanks to the far right for denying education and facts to be taught :eek

I was taught all that in West Virginia. Only recently learned it's not taught in Texas.

Yeah, I lived there until recently. Some of the things that kids come up with to replace facts are really out there, and soo soo wrong if not dangerous.

I took sex ed three times but when I took medical terminology I realized I didn't remember much.

Huge pet peeve of why I don't dabble in politics: Blame the opposite party for your problems. It's ignorant. And being so close minded about a difference in opinion that you believe your opinion is an absolute fact. I would say 90% of people with these absolute facts know absolutely nothing, they just have a big mouth.

I honestly thought the cervix was a bone and they were going to remove a bone from me. But I never paid any attention to the womens anatomy anyways

I guess some people do forget. My memory is better than most and I remember most things from elementary school and before (stuff from Sesame Street).

But I do know in Texas they are not allowed to say words like "ovaries" in school. Have confirmed this.

Having no manners. One thing that really gets me is someone burping out loud almost belching and not even saying EXCUSE ME. That irritates the heck out of me

What's weird is in my family, we absolutely cannot fart around each other. We keep it in the bathroom or go into another room. But burping is fine in our family and we do it freely. But now that I am an adult, I do find it gross to burp and I keep my burps as quiet as possible.

In 2022???

I did learn this in school decades ago but find it hard to believe, and shocking, that today's generation knows less than I do. I thought it'd be the other way around.

The thing is they could google it and the information is out there. I guess they never bothered....

One was a pregnant woman who didn't know what her parts were. That was the part that really scared me.

This is minor: I hate it when I have a playlist of good music to listen to while I'm doing work and then, suddenly and unexpectedly, there's a disconnect with the net. All kinds of great music I have lined up that I won't be able to hear.

Other thing I don't like is that my life, as of now, is not that productive and I find myself feeling depressed. What I hate is when others just come up with generic advice or suggestions on what I should do (stuff I had thought of a lot) instead of coming up with something concrete that could help me.

people who spread rumours to try and ruin someone else's reputation, then someone believing the rumour without actually considering the facts first

Fake plants as decor.

I would actually prefer fake ones. Don't have to water them.

But you do have to DUST them. They collect a LOT of dust, then lose their luster or brightness, looking dull and drab. Silk ones are more real looking than plastic, that's for sure. I used to have this spray cleaner meant specifically for silk plants, to repel dust and keep them looking like new and "real".

People who refuse to put their trash in their own garbage bin. I hate when people go to stores and just assume the cashier will just take care of their garbage--AKA me. I hate litter bugs too. Put the damn trash where it belongs!

People who don't use proper grammar and spelling when they type.

I'm a lot better about it now, but it was so bad at one point that I used to edit other people's tumblr posts to suit my very elitist tastes.

(Of course, that was when you were still able to edit posts, but still.)

when you stop eating a meal because you arn't enjoying it, and someone says, I'm glad your full

no. I'm not full. I'm still starving

Software “updates” that are supposed to make life easier but just causes problems I didn’t have before or adds complicated features I don’t need. Now that I’ve updated to iOS 15 on this phone, my notifications don’t work for news headlines. And the solution is “be sure you have notifications on” like I’m an idiot. It’s not just me as I found out by looking it up.

That’s SOME consolation.

Pedestrians, cyclists, and people on electric scooters/ mopeds who flaunt the law.

Here in Ontario, pedestrians pretty much have the right of way in most circumstances; much more so than in N.Y.S., where I'm originally from. But people push the boundaries, and behave so erratically and even dangerously. Just dealing with other vehicles is bad enough. But this kind of stuff makes driving an anxiety-riddled nightmare.
