    When the dishwasher is empty but NO ONE will put their dishes in it. They leave them for me.



    This drives me insane!!! especially since they have to walk BY the dishwasher to get to the sink!

    people who are late,
    leaving pee on the toilet seat
    people that talk to me in a public bathroom....while in the stall.... no I don't wanna chat about the weather

    Mine is when i go to do dishes and the cap on the liquid soap is pushed in. I hate when my husband does that...UGHHHHHHH! What is the point of pushing it in, I just don't get it!!!!

    my mom used to get so annoyed at this when i was growing up, so i NEVER push it in and now- it is one of my pet peeves (my husband pushes it in as well). LOL! i inherited her pet peeve. too funny.

    People who don't know how traffic circles work! ARGH!!! We have two traffic circles, one east of us and one west of us, and I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten stuck behind:

    > A driver who stops at the entrance to the traffic circle as if it is a four-way stop.
    > A driver who stops at the entrance to the traffic circle as if it is a four-way stop, <i>and waits until someone comes from another direction and enters the traffic circle.</i> Usually that driver brings a whole line of cars behind and there I am, stuck, because Idjit in front of me stopped when there was NOBODY IN OR APPROACHING the traffic circle and just WAITED until somebody came along!
    > A driver who enters the traffic circle, and then stops at the next intersection and waits for the person outside the traffic circle to go ahead. Which, of course, they don't, because that's not how traffic circles work. So, there we sit in the circle.
    > A driver who stops at the entrance to the traffic circle, <i>puts on his/her left turn signal</i> begins to turn the wrong way into the traffic circle, hesitates, realizes something is not right, looks around in confusion, backs up, turns in the correct direction, looks around again as if they can't make sense of things, finally very slowly enters the traffic circle in the correct direction... and then usually, stops at the next intersection to let another driver in... and there we sit...

    Then there are the times I have had to slam on my brakes because another breed of idjit entirely came blasting into the traffic circle without even looking. Hello? Yield to the right of way much?

    Here's an overly optimistic tutorial: http://youtu.be/1DJDjaa25Co

    YES!!!! Especially the last one!

    Also people that cut me off and go 10 below the posted limit.

    The dish soap cap thing the OP said

    People that take like 3 seconds to figure out the light has turned green and then put their car in gear and go. I live in Germany there is a reason the light goes yellow before it goes green, that yellow light is to put your car in gear. Or do like I do and leave it in first.

    People that come flying up behind you at 200 kh/h as you are passing a truck and proceed to flash their lights and honk their horn and tail gate you

    People that change lanes and or cut corners in intersections

    Any shopping mall, theme park, airport that only has 3 stalls in the bathrooms

    I hate it when my babysitter or fiance rinses off dishes to the point where they look clean, put them into the dishwasher, and dont tell me that they didnt run it yet...

    When people can't put the roll of toilet paper on the roller right......it should come over the top towards you, not underneath.

    I made a deal with boyfriend that at HIS house, he can leave the toilet seat up, but he has to put it down at MY house. It's almost always up at both... damn him!

    4. People that think gay marriage is a topic that needs to be voted on. C'mon, don't we have other more pressing matters to attend to like global warming or child hunger? Who gives a damn if a couple that wants to get married is the same sex.
    5. Gays and lesbians being prevented from adopting children. Oh please, get a life. It's more important that a child have a loving and nurturing home with two parents that love them unconditionally. I'd rather have two dads or two moms that love me vs a mother and father that could care less about me hypothetically speaking

    Here, here! Amen to that

    Don't hate me....women who don't work, at anything, kids all in school, and they tell me how "busy" they are.....really? Yes, might be jealousy on my part but really, 7 hours a day without kids and a schedule and then you tell me you can't get laundry done or cook a decent supper for the family....ok, off my soap box....

    ^^This. I totally agree. I have worked FT, gone to school PT, and still managed to run my household and my kid and get my workouts in.

    Here's mine:

    People who over use the word LOVE....
    People who don't care if they invade your space
    People who shout down mobile phones
    People who play music on mobile phones using the crappy speakers, mainly on buses
    People who don't move bags off seats on buses, even when it gets full
    People who can't clean up after themselves
    People who feel it's OK to sponge of us working folk
    Spongers who gloat over the fact I get my *kitten* up at 6am to work and the get their lazy *kitten* out in time for lunch
    People who talk tough on Facebook & text, but say OMG I was like only having a laff once you see them face to face
    People who love reminding you you're deiting when you eat ANYTHING thats not healthy
    Drivers who can't park
    People who park in disabled/mother and baby spots to go the the cash point/ATM


    This post has just made me realise I might have more issues than I thought, that list came very easy to me

    ^^ All of the above & then some.

    Mouth noises- loud chewing, gross breathing, anything that doesn't sound normal.

    When someone's trying to open something and be quiet about it, but they instead are the exact opposite. Or if someone's eating something, and they can't be bothered to open the package all the way-- so instead they crinkle it trying to get their meat hooks into it. Like, open the damn thing so I don't have to listen to it.

    People that can't figure out the right words-- there/their, breathe/breath, etc... and above all, the word "anyways". "I can't do that anyways." WTF. It's 'anyway'.

    I can really go on for hours.

    Oh yeah, one more.... Spellcheckers/grammar police.

    I hope people don't get put off contributing their thoughts because they fear their words will instantly be picked apart by the grammar vultures.

    Your opinion is still as valid if your written English is imperfect, and I still want to read it!

    my kitchen breakfast bar being the dumping ground for everyones book bags, mail, etc!

    This, this and this. BIGGEST pet peeve when it comes to house keeping. I hate clutter. Put your things where they belong not on the table, counter or any other standing free space!!!!

    I TOTALLY agree......don't know why, but this is my pet peeve also. I will change it if someone puts it on coming from underneath! lol
