Pet Peeves: laziness. Drives me nuts!
Phobias: I hate flying - really hate it.
Oddities: I can't touch wet wood. ie chopping boards, wooden spoons. It makes my front bottom teeth hurt and gives me the shivers.0 -

Pet Peeve: Drivers doing 50 in a 55mph zone
Phobia: going over an arched bridge. Flat bridges don't bother me at all
Oddities: When driving over "zebra" pedestrian markings, I must straddle them in a precise manner0 -
Pet peeve: fidgety people who repeatedly slap or kick a bench seat or sofa we're both sitting on.
Phobia: Weeds and plant roots. I can't touch them, I have an irrational fear they will start growing out of me if I touch them. *shudder*
Oddity: No matter how hot it is, my feet must be covered with a sheet or I won't be able to sleep.0 -
Pet peeves: When I see people sneeze without a tissue I want to punch them in their face.
I don't know why, but it pisses me off!
Phobia - I can't stand being in a dark room. Once my lights went out. I just stood in the dark and screamed like
A mental patient! !
Oddities - I can't touch anything that has a groove in it. It makes me crazy. I go OCD and touch it all the time! !0 -
Ooh, fun.
PET PEEVES
-Rude people
-Bigots
-Bullies
-People who slow down/stop in front of you and don't even bother to move away
-Loud, raucous people
-People who thrive on drama and attention
-People who steal/"borrow" without asking
-Noisy, messy eaters (when in public--I don't care much what's done at home)
-Guests who rummage through the fridge without permission
-Pigtails on people who are above the age of 10 (sorry!)
-Religious zealots and radical atheists
-People who are always in a rush and always moving and can't seem to just slow down or stop for a moment
-People who go outside without deodorant. Especially in the summer. Especially on a crowded train in the summer.
PHOBIAS:
-Extreme Heights
-Being tortured
-This is sort of weird, but...the whole idea of the apocalypse/Armageddon. I'm a little more in control of it now but a few years ago I'd freak the F out if you even muttered the words "end of the world" in front of me. It was a sure-fire way to get me to leave the room. It still makes me really uncomfortable.
-Centipedes and waterbugs. I hate most bugs/insects (I don't even like touching butterflies or ladybugs), but they don't freak me out. Centipedes and waterbugs are the exception.
-Devilry & witchcraft. LOL. Seriously, though, it creeps me the hell out. I knew a boy in HS who was...something (not satanist, but it sounded similar) and used to do these freaky "rituals" and say these awful things and I always gave him a really wide berth. That stuff freaks me out. As for the witchcraft--I have family in Puerto Rico who do brujeria and yeah, hell no. I don't go near that stuff.
ODDITIES:
-I don't like going outside (especially by myself). I hate being around lots of people, and as I live in the city...
-I hate when people invade my privacy. Few things get me madder. Dropping by unannounced? Barging into my room without knocking/permission? Trying to draw me into a discussion/outside when I just want some quiet time alone? Rummaging through my things? Interfering with my personal life under the guise of "trying to help" when really, you're just being a nosy busybody? It drives me MAD.
-I'm weird about thunderstorms. Sometimes they soothe me to sleep and other times they unnerve me so much they keep me up all night.
-When I'm outside by myself I constantly check behind me to make sure no one is following me.
-I like to listen to lullabies at night. Children's music FTW.
-I'll only drink hot chocolate if I can put American cheese in it and sop up everything with Italian bread or white crackers.
-I sometimes have issues eating meat because I can't forget that I'm eating an actual animal. It's totally impossible w/ fish.
-I don't like eating meat with bones in them.
-Sorry to be a cliche but I actually do enjoy walking in the rain (for leisure, not when I have to go somewhere). There's nothing quite like walking in the middle of an intense downpour so thick you can barely see a yard in front of you.
That ended up being way too long. Sorry.0 -
pet peeves:
untied shoes, I will even tell completely strangers.
people tapping fingers on table, or clicking a retractable pen.
trash on the floor when there is a trash can in plain sight. Use it!
closed minded people
the new fad of wearing missed match socks!
Phobias:
sewers - I will not walk over top a sewer lid/vent scared it will break or a clown will drag me under lol.
falling - I will go on balcony's and roofs but not all the way to the railing or edge. I will not climb ladders either.
pitch blackness - if I can't at least see shadows get me the heck out of there!
Oddities:
the number 3
- In a public bathroom with several stalls I always use the 3rd one from the door.
- I wake up to music, I listen to 3 songs before getting out of the bed.
- 3 coats of nail polish
My clothes are super organized. My drawers - work shirts, t-shirts, nice/fitted shirts, jeans, work-out pants/shorts, long sleeve shirts, under garments, tank tops, clothes that are too big but I refuse to donate. My closet - skirts by length/color, dresses by sleeve length, button down shirts by sleeve length/material. My belts are hung up, and my shoes are tied together and stored in this giant clear zipper plastic bag.
My food can touch, but I eat one item at a time, my least favorite 1st and my favorite last.
My husband claims I talk in my sleep, and have had whole conversations. lol
I will not eat salads or raw veggies.
My sock have to match.0 -
Peeve: Mismatched socks. They HAVE to match. And no inside outters!
Phobia: Big Govt!
Oddities: Geek!0 -
Mine are mostly around food....don't eat meat off the bone, nothing out of the water, I am done if I see a vein, won't pick meat off a carcass at a barbecue.0
-
Not to weird for a women, but I worked with a guy in construction that was that way. I did think that was odd.Mine are mostly around food....don't eat meat off the bone, nothing out of the water, I am done if I see a vein, won't pick meat off a carcass at a barbecue.0 -
Peeve: Corporate power in government
Phobia: Currently that rods touch in Fukushima and spread radiation across the northern hemisphere, that we poison our food supply so badly we all start dying at 40, that the environment gets destroyed by our destructive tendencies beyond recovery, that we drain so much water from the earth that only the rich can purchase it, that I will wake up a cow in a factory, drones being used at home, and mayonaise (stuff smells so bad)
Oddities: I'll do it for the purposes of necessity but I can't stand sitting in chairs or wearing shoes. Both are so uncomfortable and limiting.0 -

^^This exactly. I only buy boneless meat. When I'm given meat with bones in them I'll only nibble on the outer layer--I won't go near the bone. I see a vein or a blood vessel I'm put off. I can't even look at carcasses without feeling sick, and I sure as heck won't scrape meat of of them.
The water bit, too. I can eat canned tuna and imitation crab meat but that's it. I don't touch fish because I have a hard time forgetting that they were alive. That sounds stupid, I know, but it is what it is.0 -
Pet peeves: Mouth breathers
Phobias: Heights
Oddities: I usually have to leave one bite of everything I eat. I just decide at that moment I am done.0 -
pet peeve: people who eat with their mouth open
phobia: bears and spiders
oddities: I go through phases of hating my penmanship and will change it to something different.0 -
I like my car stereo volume on an even number, feels wrong otherwise
yep! tv and car radio. I do 5's though, has to end in 5 or 0.0 -
I hate people who drive in the fast lane and will not move over when people are stuck behind them. Get over.
I am afraid of dying and getting old. (I'm a police officer.)
I wash and clean my hands all day long. (After I shake hands with people, touch a door knob, etc.)0 -
Pet peeves: Chomping/Noisy eating, sniffing, biting nails/picking nails
Phobias: Touching paper when hands have just been washed
Oddities: Turning off switches when nothing is plugged in - it annoys me!, having to put the nib back in of pens if they're left out
My son has the same issue with paper!! I always thought he was kidding me, but apparently he is not the only one, good to know!0 -
Peeve: Corporate power in government
This is so beyond a peeve for me. Issues like the plutocratic reality of society, government corruption, the disadvantages and consequences of free-market capitalism-especially on a global scale through transnational corporations, large corporations in general and everything they influence (i.e., the media, large foundations, think tanks, publications, economic policies, etc), agribusinesses and corporate farming, etc, etc. It's maddening.Phobia: Currently that rods touch in Fukushima and spread radiation across the northern hemisphere, that we poison our food supply so badly we all start dying at 40, that the environment gets destroyed by our destructive tendencies beyond recovery, that we drain so much water from the earth that only the rich can purchase it, that I will wake up a cow in a factory, drones being used at home, and mayonaise (stuff smells so bad)
I agree with everything save the mayonnaise. I've calmed down a lot, but this used to make really anxious to think about--people becoming sick because of all the chemicals and toxins they've pumped into everything, an outbreak of a bacteria we'd be unable to fight because they've pumped our food with so much antibiotics that we've become immune and the bacteria resistant, an apocalypse caused by the utter destruction we're causing to the earth, etc, unnaturally advanced technology, WW3, war in general, and zombies.Oddities: I'll do it for the purposes of necessity but I can't stand sitting in chairs or wearing shoes. Both are so uncomfortable and limiting.
I don't understand the chair bit. Is it because they're so uncomfortable? Do sofas/couches count? Do you just stand all day unless you absolutely have to?0 -
Oddities: Covering up all cameras on devices when not in use.
Anyone else do this? It'd be nice to know I'm not the only paranoid one out there.0 -
Peeve: texting driver who weaves and goes 43 in a 65 zone :grumble:
Phobias: sharks, darkness, and cancer (again) :noway:
Oddity: a pair of matching freckles on the backs of my calves, and another matched pair of freckles on my butt cheeks :blushing:0 -
Oddities: Covering up all cameras on devices when not in use.

Just the one on my computer0 -
Oddities: I can't sleep with any closet doors open or mirrors facing me. I also have this "fetish" about feet: the Morton's toe is so hideous to me, it completely turns me off from the person who has it.
Phobias: this falls under the oddities too, but it's a phobia of mine: forensic computer animation. Something about how real life an animated person is scares me to the core.
Pet peeve: when others interrupt. That makes me become unglued in no time. "I'm sorry, did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?"0 -
I have trypophobia. Things with many little holes in them gross me out. It's more of a biological revulsion than an actual fear.0
-
Pet Peeve: When people sit next to me on the bus. I like my space, on both sides or one side if its a two seater. As soon as someone wants to sit next to me, I get up and move to the next empty two seater.
Phobia: I don't have any that I am aware of. I used to have a phobia with spiders and death but I learned to be the one in power. Mwahahaha!
Oddities: I must sleep in complete darkness! I cannot have a single light on, not even the light of the cable box or fire alarm (I covered them with tape). Little lights annoy me sooooo much. e.e0 -
Pet Peeves:
When the strings on a hoodie are uneven.
When the fronts of water polo caps are flipped in.
Phobias:
Heights
Spiders
Cars
I'm uncomfortable around pocket knives
Oddities:
I chew on things ((pencil, pen, finger, ID, etc.))
I have a habit of touching my collar bone, rib cage, wrists and sometimes tapping my hips.
I randomly stretch in the middle of class.0 -
Peeves: Stupidity, people who purposely misspell words to sound cool, arrogance, loud/ghetto people.
People who litter especially sine I live on a mountain in CA and you always see those people coming to see snow and
leave trash everywhere they go. And finally people who don't control their children in public. I love kids but in public make
then stop running around bumping into people and shut them up.
Phobias: Bug but especially spiders. Public toilets. I can't believe some people actually sit on them. I hover over it. And people
who don't cover there mouths when they cough or sneeze and infect everything. Still heights. I love moving heights like
roller coasters but stand on the edge of something tall bothers me. I still cry when I get a shot. Sad, I know.
Oddities: Pimples must be popped. I try not to but I can't help it. I even pop other people's pimples. (don't judge me)0 -
Pet peeves: Loud and/or bossy people. People that treat animals poorly.
Phobias: I'm not a fan of wide open spaces. Especially when there are a lot of people around. I have to periodically go into a small spot to calm myself down.
Oddities: I do things in odd numbers (always) and I get super icked out by doorknobs that are old and smell like metal. I go around cleaning them and it drives my boyfriend nuts.0 -
peeves----college educated and think they know it all, puhleeeze. Inconsiderate shopper's who think they're the only ones in store.
phobias----unable to go to food court in mall, my anxiety skyrockets, even though on meds for it.
oddities----everthing that comes out of clothes dryer "must" be ironed before being put away. hangers in closet must be evenly spaced and arranged by type, and color coded by type as well. check wall picture frames with level monthly to ensure level, and many other many anal habits. one last one, being it's the funniest to me, is I take longer to ensure bathroom counter/sink/chrome as well as shower than to actually use. :laugh:0 -
pet peeve. people who blow there nose without a tissue by holding one nostril. Yuk.
phobia none.
oddities. peanut butter and banana toasted sandwich0 -
I do not like hot drinks...not coffee....not tea...not hot chocolate. no hot drinks ever in my life0
