lol jnetx I'm guilty of the sweet n low thing! But, I'm also the one that cleans up in the evening so oh well.

My pet peeves....hmm...I have several.
A big one is that my DH uses a clean cup for every drink through the day. At the end of the day he dirties like 5 cups. It drives me nuts.

Also, I REALLY hate it when my coworkers "helps" me out but does so half-assed so that it actually causes me more work when I come up behind her. Just don't touch my stuff woman. I can handle it myself anyway.

[sugarkissed]

The majority of my pet peeves come from years of working as a flight attendant.... I hate so, so many little things that so many passengers do. Haha. I won't get into it here, or I'll never stop.

I hate that DH leaves important papers, tools, etc... whatever he is working on at night, he leaves it on the floor so when I bring DD downstairs in the morning I have to clean everything before I can let her play.

I hate everyone's unsolicited pregnancy and parenting advice, but I'm sure I'm not alone in this pet peeve! It wouldn't be so bad if it was encouraging, but it's usually so negative.

[legitsince86]

DH is the same, he'll leave stuff around, dirty laundry, wet towels on the floor.

I hate when I say something to someone and they don't respond. Then I'll say it again and they'll say "I know I heard you the first time" at least give me some acknowledgement then so I know I'm not talking to myself.

Also passive aggressive messages on social media. We get it, you want the attention.

[happymama]

I'm pretty chill and don't let much get to me, so I honestly don't have many.

DH - Every day he takes his socks off when he gets home and leaves them in some random place around the house, but never in the laundry hamper. When I clean a couple times a week I end up collecting a pile of dirty socks from all over the house. He also rarely closes a cupboard when he opens it so I often come into the kitchen to find the majority of the cabibets wide open. But I can never remember to replace the tiolet paper, so I don't complain :-P

The public - People who like to drive 10 under in the fast lane. People who are in such a hurry that they drive dangerously and risk my baby's safety just to get to their destination 10 seconds sooner. In Seattle, this is 99% of drivers. They aren't all fast or slow drivers, just really bad drivers and then they crash and we all get stuck it traffic for hours as a result.

When people say something is "literally" when it's not. It is not literally raining cats and dogs

[smilingeyes]

Is it bad that the majority of my pet peeves are probably all things my H does? UGH.

He comes home and goes to the washroom first thing, undresses and leaves all his dirty ass clothes all over the washroom floor and his STINKY socks (he works construction) and then he closes the bathroom door when he comes out, so that smell just stirs in there and SLAMS me in the face when I go in.

He plays xbox and every single night before I go to bed, I ask him to put away his headset/controller and all the other various wires he has lying around so DD doesn't run to them first thing in the morning. Nope. Never. They are scattered all over our living room floor EVERY SINGLE MORNING. If he drinks or eats something, that plate or cup will still be in the living room too.

He also just leaves everything out he uses in the morning for breakfast or his coffee so when I wake up, I have a whole new mess to clean up (even though I went to bed with a clean house).

I guess I should add a random one so that I don't feel like a horrible wife, I despise when people don't say thank you while I'm holding the door for them. Really? Is it EXPECTED of me to hold this door for you? No, no it's not, I could slam it in your face like others but I'm not, I'm here, holding it for you.. SAY THANK YOU.

Loud chewers/eaters. UGH.

[lilqt3929]

I have too many pet peeves, unfortunelty. I could go on and on, thats one thing I really need to work on. But a major one is inconsiderate cigarette smokers. You know, the ones that light up as soon as they step foot out of a store, restaurant etc. So that the smoke goes directly back into the building or in the face of whoever is walking behind them or near them. It's gross and It. Drives. Me. Nuts. Just because you smoke, doesn't mean I, or anyone else, wants your second hand smoke! Not to mention, the smokers who throw the butts on the ground or even the cigarette pack/wrapper ugh!! That is littering, you ass!!

ETA: changed a few words

[fiveohfive]

The biggest pet peeve for me lately is DH finishing the last of a cereal box, milk jug, etc and not walking the ten steps to throw the empty container in the garage recycling bin. Instead he leaves it on the counter for me- grrrr!

Also, a hangnail can singlehandedly ruin my day

[wowcheezits]

Cars turning and not using a turn signal,
chewing with mouth open
farting openly in public
leaving the empty milk carton in the refrigerator (someone left one in my fridge now)
cars going 5 under the speed limit in the fast lane

[ajaan113]

On Metro...people that stand right in front of the metro doors when the train is not crowded or starting to.
People that "stand" on the left side on the escalators.
People are too lazy to stand to let you off when you are on the bus.
DH leaves dishes and his socks around the house.
DH leaves the dishes in the sink and doesn't put them in the dish washer.
DH leaves empty bottles, boxes, or containers of things that are empty lying around.

Okay, I need to stop.

[legitsince86]

ajaan113 DH told me that people stand on the left side of the escalators in order to let people walking go through. But this was in Japan though and I noticed it everywhere

Reminds me of home. DH has a love affair with the PS3 and sports.

[smilingeyes]

ajaan113 - so ANNOYING. His response when I tell him he plays video games WAY too much is "well, I could be out drinking" smfh.

This is mostly for The Metro....there is an unwritten rule or stand on right walk on left.

When people reply "yup" after you say "thank you."

I hang a dish towel on our oven handle and one on our dishwasher handle. DH constantly uses them and leaves them in a ball on the counter right above where it should be hung.

DH makes food directly on the counter, no plate. Nothing crazy messy, but like sandwiches he will put the bread straight on the counter. When I ask him to use a paper towel at least, he says he doesn't care because the counter is clean. He's right- it was clean until you didn't use a plate to make your sandwich and now there are crumbs everywhere.

[lilqt3929]

krose My DH does this too, the crumbs drive me crazy!!!

My pet peeves:

- snoring
- someone pulling out in front of you, cutting you off, and then drives ridiculously slow
- honking the horn drives me nuts..it doesn't make anyone go any faster...
- when SO counts down the time I have to get ready (5 mins, 4 mins, Etc...no honey, that doesn't speed me up...that makes me want to take my sweet time lol)
- people who post daily selfies
