Other Tell us about your pet peeves!

[Steve Jobs]

I hate it when 2 people at a bar/restaurant take up a big table/ picnic bench and sit next to each other and not across. Y'all ruining the implicit dividing lines between different parties!!! I don't want to feel like I'm third wheeling or on a weird double date.

1. When someone who's supposed to be walking with you chooses, for no adequately explored reason, to walk behind you.
2. When someone sprays a noxious, unbreathable cloud of perfume in a room you're in, making you choke on the smell.

This isn't a pet-peeve per-say but there's no general vent thread so I'm going to borrow this thread for a second:

Whatever changes Duolingo made to how hearts work made the app even more useless than it was before

When groups of people walk together on a narrow street, taking up the entire width, and can't be bothered to squish together for another person to pass by. They expect everyone else to move around them, stepping into the street if necessary.

Can't tell ya how many times I've felt the urge to yell "What are you, pigeons?"

Getting ignored.

Even if it’s accidental, or on purpose, it always stinks. Trying to be apart of other people’s conversation and purposefully being left out just stings. And even if it’s accidental People nowadays just stare into their phones, and it’s so hard to make conversation.

 

[Ayama]

When people not only show up to work or school sick, but make themselves anything from a nuisance to an absolute menace by
-sneezing and coughing on other people
-refusing to mitigate their symptoms

Extra points to those who insist on loudly coughing &/or inhaling back their mucus every other second in an otherwise perfectly silent room, making it completely impossible to concentrate because they can't be bothered to step outside and blow their nose or get a drink of water -.-

Oh and goes without saying but these are also, of course, the people who cough or sneeze without covering their mouth x.x

Okay today is just one of those days, apparently, so double-peeve post:
When you spend extra time and go out of your way to communicate things clearly with people so that they have all the information they need and, in return, they can give you the information you need, only for them to refuse to take the time to read through your painstakingly-crafted, time-saving communications and simply respond, essentially causing all that time you spent to make things easier completely wasted -.-

LMAO it's tempting! Even pigeons have more common sense than some people SMH.

People that wait until cars are coming down the busy highway to run across to the other side like they are the main character of a story or something.

Cars that follow too close.

It literally urks me to my core when at work , customer service, and customers apologize for being an inconvenience for asking a question. Yes, im busy but its my job to help you out. I just feel so bad because that means they had a negative experience. I mean a little integrity and kindness goes a long way. Not to mention it is what I and my coworkers are paid to do.

I get so fed up with people in a job they clearly disrespect. Nothing urks me more than that co worker who just so...uhhggg the words can not describe my frusteration.

Just smile and help. Your job is not hard and if customer service is difficult. Get a different job. Communicating with people and making their day easier so they come back is what your paid to do. Please dont tell another customer its not your problem

I really don't know how hard those kinds of jobs are, but just gotta say really appreciate ya trying to be thoughtful of the clients and your employers.

People in real life with Main Character Syndrome or plot armor. I just can't with these people.

Edit:
Arrogant, entitled -fill in the blank- who look down on others.

You know when you're watching a YouTube video on your phone/tablet and accidentally press the ad beneath, derailing what you were just watching, so for a second you're kind of confused on what just happened until it comes up? That's one of my pet peeves.

That happened to me earlier today

It's always so annoying! (╯°□°)╯

Same and it’s annoying now the ads are long

 

[BuggaBoo]

My gosh this happened like 3x this week grrrrrrr. After showering Im tryna put on clothes and they get like all rolled up and bunchy. Ughs i feel all stuck and trapped.

The worst are cotton tees and cotton undies ugh. Literally gets my panties in a twist lol

 

[Nu Epiq]

People complaining to me about tipping. I don’t care. I never asked to hear that long drawn out story on why you don’t tip. No one cares actually. You either tip or you don’t. No one cares about your whole mathematical explanation on why you don’t.

 

[Ayama]

People asking questions that have no purpose or make no sense- bonus points if the question in question is somehow both at the same time x.x

 

[Rebel.]

People watching videos or listening to music in a public space without headphones.

The animal people who think that when some dogs have mauled a person to death, the dog was just "playing" around.

 

[Warrior Spirit]

The animal people who think that when some dogs have mauled a person to death, the dog was just "playing" around.

The owners who own those dogs and neglected to keep them on a leash were too busy playing around instead of being responsible adults.

Dogs will be dogs. The lucky ones get a proper home and are trained to behave around humans. If you can't or don't train them to behave well, then keep them on a leash in the house and when walking them somewhere. Otherwise, don't have dogs. lol

When I wash one hand, like it just gets wet, and I have to dry it. Like hello! My other hand is the sahara desert, so instead, I wipe my wet hand on the dry one so both are moist at least before I dry it. It feels weird if I don't do that, because it's...nagging.

 

[CartoonFan]

Idk if someone else already mentioned this one since I have not read every page, but I just cannot stand it whenever a complete stranger refers to me as honey or sweetie and then to top it all off they say it in a very condescending manner as though they think they're better than me. It's like hello, I don't even know you. I'm not your honey or your sweetie. Please don't call me that. It's so annoying.

It also drives me crazy whenever I'm out shopping just minding my own business only to be approached by another customer asking me questions thinking that I work there despite my casual attire. I always have to tell people, 'I'm sorry, but I don't know where anything is because I don't work here.' And I'm just sort of thinking to myself, 'why do these people think I work here? I mean when was the last time you saw a Dillards employee wearing a Disney t-shirt and shorts?'

RULES OF THE THREAD

1. This thread is specifically for general, RL-related pet peeves. Please do not post pet peeves related to online life, writing, or RPing. Threads for those can be found here and here.

2. Outside of brief 'I so relate to this' or 'that reminds me of this' type of posts, please do not reply to others' peeves and engage in lengthy discussions- this is not the place for them.

3. This is also not a place for judgment, criticism, or disagreements- merely a space for people to safely vent about things that annoy them in dealing with people and everyday life.

If you understand and agree to abide by these rules, then please post and peruse at your leisure!

Everyone's got things that just drive them up the wall- tell us about yours!
Laugh, cry, commiserate and rage together. Sometimes, it's just good to get it out! ;P

I think possibly the one that drives me craziest is people being in the way.
If you're walking, or standing, it is my personal opinion that you should never do so in a manner or location which is going to get in other people's way! ><
I feel like so many people do this all the time, with no regard for others, and it drives me absolutely crazy xD​

definitely when people chew loud/smack of their food
