What are your pet peeves?

LiteraryLark · Dec 03, 2021, 10:13 PM

My biggest pet peeve is to be interrupted, especially when I'm talking or explaining something. I've walked out of many businesses and hung up on many businesses for that reason and even hung up on friends for that reason. It's downright rude.

My second biggest pet peeve would be obnoxious chewing, smacking lips, or pets licking themselves...that sound is beyond nails on a chalkboard...it makes me go ape shhh...

When people comment on my appeareance. Even though its usually postive I find it unecessary. Unless they comment on my weight loss. Then thats fine

Also when people keep bringing up the same subject over and over. What bothers me especially is when people continue to ask me about bottom surgery. My pdoc does this every time we meet and he's been pretty pushy. I mean yeah I plan on it eventually but not every trans person gets the surgery and its not really anyones bussiness either.

Also phantom limb syndrome. It drives me up the wall and can get my anxiety going as well.

Lately it's been people refusing to wear masks.

Some of my colleagues’ habits that violate infection control rules but I can’t get them to listen

Another one of mine and its a big one is ridicously slow eaters. My mom eats so slow she holds things up. It takes her 15 minutes to eat one of those Chobani flips yogurts and I eat mine in less then a minute. In 6th grade a kid said to me "Mountaindewed you eat so fast but you're so skinny."

downandlonely · Dec 04, 2021, 03:39 PM

I used to be one of those annoyingly slow eaters. I was skinny then. Now I gobble stuff down and eat more. I have gained a lot of weight.

Spelling errors online. I know i need to reign myself in. Ha ha just kidding! *rein

People who invade your personal space.

divine1966 · Dec 05, 2021, 02:31 PM

People who give advice on the matter they don’t know anything about.

This happens to me a lot. You are right that it’s very rude and sends the message what I’m saying isn’t important, even if I’m answering their question.

I’ve started saying “I’m talking” or “if you’ll let me finish you’ll get your answer. Seems some people weren’t taught how rude it is to talk over someone or interrupt,

I believe that every high school student should take a communications class. Learning how to be a good listener is so important. When someone is truly listening, they don't interrupt.

I hate when people text me, and I'm in the same house or office as them. I also hate when people yell for me from another room to come to them instead of them coming to talk to me. I'm not a dog, I don't come when called.

It also drives me crazy at work when none of my coworkers will replace the toilet paper or paper towels when they run out.

I would say when bike riding, I would be riding on a very narrow (one-way) designated bike lane and there are other bike riders coming in the opposite direction or wrong way. Also, on the bike lanes, are the motorized bikes and scooters. The shouldn't be allowed on the bike lanes.

nonightowl · Dec 08, 2021, 04:02 PM

The smug, arrogant looks on the young unmasked people in my building. Nobody my age is doing it here but the building is getting younger and younger people.

I also hate that, even though I’m a driver.

My peeve on bikers is not riding single file if there’s more than one. Or they don’t stick close to the curb and are practically in the middle of the lane.

Scooters on the sidewalk, bikers too. No where for pedestrians to walk and scares me to death when they practically run me over. No warning that they are behind me.

The grocery store selection where I live now. Its really bad. Theres just the basic stores here and where I lived before they had every place you could think of and a huge variety of international markets. When I was out of state for Thanksgiving I really had to stock up for the winter.

I have discovered a few cool places though.

when people are quick to comment on your problems, but avoid talking about their own or act like they are perfect
that, and judgemental people

people who, for example, you go up to and talk about your issues (maybe I might say I didn't get any school qualifications), and have them turn round and say well, you must be thick- those kind of people.

people that give away spoilers to movies or tv shows- especially ones you are planning to see

people that expect you to give them anything on a golden plate. these people drive me crazy- people that say, for example well, I want this, I want this, I want this, that and the other, but rather than work for it, they expect you to hand it to them.

racists

health freaks
don't get me wrong, if you want to lose weight, or eat well, or take care of yourself, then that's good (and you should, it's a healthy thing to do)

the 2 things that annoy me about these people are when they try and tell others to live like them and do what they do, or they go on about this success, that success, etc etc

Me too. Or telling people not to eat meat, it's bad for the planet. Well a lot of things are and we might be too far gone to save it now. Besides, the meat is an industry that is the livelihoods of many people. If everyone really did stop eating meat, the people working in it would feel it.

Also some of mine.

And technology isn't all it's cracked up to be that's for sure. It moves too fast for me too, and I hate how people expect others to be tech savvy cause they are. And the government is the worse, go online for this and that. Not only do not think of people that may not have access, esp. in 2020, but even if they did, they may not know how to use the web well. Students are told to
just go online and do their lessons that way. They act like it's as easy flipping a light switch on. If only.......

downandlonely · Dec 13, 2021, 07:57 PM

I have to admit, I do give spoilers...

Hypocrisy really bothers me. And it's everywhere.

nonightowl · Dec 13, 2021, 08:21 PM

Asking for an emergency contact on any form. Why do they assume everyone must have SOMEBODY to be an emergency contact???

Sometimes they want TWO contacts.

I hate forms anyway, but along with the usual stuff like your name, phone number they want an emergency contact.

downandlonely · Dec 13, 2021, 08:36 PM

I have the same issue with an emergency contact. Not sure who to put. My parents are over 1000 miles away, so not sure how much help they would be.

Dec 13, 2021, 09:32 PM

Hearing my parents chewing and swallowing. Omg. I can't even be in the same room sometimes lol. I may have misophonia - self diagnosed 😁

Also, when I say something and people can't hear me and ask me to repeat myself. I completely understand that not everyone has great hearing, and that I'm a soft speaker. I don't know why it bothers me so much and I'm not trying to be a jerk at all. But it really irritates me - I can't help it - especially if I'm not expecting them to not hear me well, and I'm saying something I feel sensitive and private about. I try to be mindful of the two people in my life who can't hear well, and give them extra gentleness and myself too. To be honest, this hasn't been much of an issue lately. I'm not sure if I'm speaking up more, or if I'm just in a better mood, which affects how I feel about stuff like this too.

Dec 13, 2021, 09:35 PM

Strangers who say rude / obnoxious / inappropriate things to other strangers. I can usually size people up quickly. I don't openly smile at those who appear like they might shoot off their mouth / say something weird to me. There's no point. I avoid ppl like this lol.

My brother is a super slow eater. He used to hold us up at restaurants.
