Hello!
Let's
talk pet peeves, shall we? If you have never heard of them, pet
peeves are minor annoyances – small things that irritate you
in other people – their activities and often habits that are
annoying, uncalled-for or plain stupid.
I
consider myself an easy-going person, but there are times when I can
get pretty cranky and small things can get on my nerves.
Some of
my pet peeves are:
- when people describe their dreams to me. (Come on! The only two people in this world interested in you dreams are yourself and your shrink!)
- when people put a sad face in their status and then when you ask them what's wrong, they say they would rather not talk about it.
- when people make negative comments on what unhealthy food or drinks I consume. (As long as I can move around with nobody's help, it's my friggin' business what I eat or drink. End of story.)
- when people talk loudly on their phones in public places. (I can't focus on my own thoughts, Mr Important!!)
- when people tell me I should listen to music on my phone rather than on my mp3 player because it's more convenient this way. (No, it isn't!!)
Ok,
enough of bitching for now :))
Now
take a look at some of other people's pet peeves. You can find them all and many more at
- Noisy eaters
- Kids who tease dogs through a fence.
- Couples who sit on the same side of the booth when there is no one on the other side.
- People who don't use coasters.
- People who sit next to you on public transportation even when there are other seats available.
- Road maps that aren't folded correctly.
- Couples that own a dog together and call themselves mommy and daddy.
- Guys who leave the toilet seat up.
- Dining with a picky eater (they can never order off the menu without customizing every aspect of the meal).
- When somebody tosses something toward a garbage can, like they think they're a basketball star, then leave it on the ground after they miss!
- Uncomfortable chairs.
- Anyone – male or female – who says “We’re pregnant”. Are they sharing a uterus?
- Clipping your nails at work.
- Rappers who thank God at award ceremonies.
- The noise styrofoam makes when you rub it together.
- People who dress their pets.
- People who make you take off your shoes when you go into their house.
- People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.
- Emails with no subject.
- People who don't hold the elevator for you.
