GTKY pet peeves

Got a pet peeve? Share it!


This was a second UO but I changed mine.

Loud chewing or other mouth noises. I get irrationally ragey.

[motownthrowdown]

I think I have that thing where you get irrationally enraged with certain sounds. Mesophonia or something. Chewing, mouth smacking, mouth noises in general, snoring...I want to punch people. Like, I have kicked dh way harder than was necessary to get him to stop snoring.

I also hate small talk. I'd much rather just sit in silence than try to talk about random, stupid crap. "Oh, the sun is out today." "Good thing, we'd all freeze to death if it didn't." "Yep." "Nice oxygen in the air today." "Yep." "I guess that's important too." "Yep."

[gingerygirl]

+1 for hating small talk. The don't find silence uncomfortable. Talk to me if you have something important to talk about.

I hate it when stores have a different entrance and exit door. Like Lowes. Screw you Lowes.

[kaeguri]

Shoes that make noises when you walk. People who don't pay attention where they're walking. People who text and drive. People who don't use turn signals. People who don't say excuse me when they bump into you, burp, fart, cough. People who make up elaborate scenarios just for attention. People who stick their nose where it doesn't belong. People who... You know what, just people in general. Humanity is my pet peeve.

+1 I always try to go out the "In" door and when it doesn't open I have to do the walk of shame to the "Out" door.

Ok, I have a Facebook friend who runs an in home daycare. She aways posts stories and pictures of the kids misbehaving. She thinks it's funny when her daughter steals the others kids food and is generally a mean little brat to the others. I understand that kids will do these things. As a parents, I would be upset that she is reacting this way instead of correcting the bad behavior.

I hate when people just act like their child can do no wrong. Yes your little one is wonderful, amazing, and special. You LO still needs discipline.

[lemon200]

I can't stand when mom and daughters are best friends. I recently went to a wedding and there was a mom in her 40's with her daughter in her 20's and they were dancing sexily together. It was the weirdest thing. The mom was even dancing seductively around the daughter's fiance. At one point my dad said "I think they are going to have a three-some" and if my dad noticed than you know that it is super obvious!!

tl;dr Moms and their kids who are best friends. And I guess also people who don't act their age.

When people start speaking to me when I reading.

Like my husband is doing right now, he is having a conversation with me about fantasy football while I am on here reading. I haven't said a word yet he keeps talking.

People with no manners at restaurants. And rude to servers. Can't stand.

Ok, this scenario is just wrong. No. Just no.

I agree that sexily dancing with your mom at a wedding sounds strange, but I consider myself "best friends" with both my immediate family and my in-laws.  I love spending time with them now that we are all adults - this is a relationship that became more like a friendship as I matured and no longer needed them to "parent" me.  I don't think being best friends with parents equates to acting like sexually charged teenagers together, haha.  I also come from a very close-knit family and my in-laws are the same way, so considering them friends just comes naturally.

[ady45]

arimaythea I agree with what you are saying. I'm close to my family and my in laws. I will confide in them and spend time with them before my friends.

[ars093s]

+1 for mouth noises. It was worse while I was pregnant. My assistant at work always ate with his mouth open and it would drive me crazy! Like, it was all I could focus on while it was happening.

[ampaints]

A pretty random one I have is when someone opened the microwave befor the timer was fine and they don't clear the time. Drives me batty!

[DSHM13]

I have so many. I'm nutty.

I hate the mouth noises and microwave thing too.

I hate sniffing, any body noises, people who interrupt you, people who don't put things back where they go (I'm looking at you DH), repetitive noises...the list goes on and on...

[nimfalen]

When I hear people whispering or flossing it makes my skin crawl. And I will never understand why DH can't close a cabinet. How much effort does it take? Makes me rage.

[ady45]

I also hate being interrupted while I'm reading. Especially when we have been sitting in silence for 30 minutes and as soon as I start reading it is suddenly conversation time.

I hate that I am apparently the only one who can see when the trash is full. H insists that we need to stuff the bag so full that I can't pick it up. Then he let's it stay and I nag about it for 3 days.

[twinkbrite]

Gosh, so many things. I was just thinking about this last night...

When people hover over me when I am cooking.

[packmomma]

I couldn't think of a pet peeve until I saw nimfalen 's.
I absolutely cannot stand when people leave wrappers/empty containers/etc right next to the trash. Just because we JUST had pizzas/thai/or you used the last of the milk does not mean the container just goes there. I may have yelled this at H more than once but that man is notorious for setting things right next to the trash. And leaving cabinets open.

[htuzzi324]

Turn signals. Those new fangled things that indicate where the f you are going. Rage.

Also when people touch my stuff. I have it set up like I want it. Don't mess it up.
And touchy feely people. I like my bubble of personal space. Please get out of it if you aren't my children.

[runningmommy519]

If the dishwasher is empty put your f'ing dirty dishes in it.

If you finish the last of the toilet paper then put the new roll on the holder. Don't just set it on the sink.

Going along with this, I hate it when I'm in line somewhere and the person behind me stands too close. I shouldn't be able to feel your breath on my neck! Give me some space, you won't get helped any faster if you bunch up behind me.

Yes. Or people who don't watch where the hell they are going with their cart. I have yelled at many people for nearly running over my daughter. She is literally right beside me holding my hand.

[lawndog1216]

Finger nail clippers. Everything about them, especially the sound they make going through a nail. Barf.

And yes to the microwave. I lose my mind when I walk by and it's scrolling PRESS START.

And leaving shoes all over the damn place. I'm thinking about tossing every shoe I trip over out in to the garage or the basement.

+1 and hubs dies it all the time. I go bsc at 3am when up for a feeding and I look at the time and it says 00:2. Ugh

So in agreement with these. H's excuse for not changing the roll is that he didn't need any more then. WTF.

I'd be pretty pissed that she was A) posting pics and stuff like that of my kids on the Internet and B) playing with her phone instead of stopping the behavior immediately. Kids are like dogs. If you wait too long after the behavior, they won't know why they are in trouble.
