My current pet peeve is when my "seedless" grapes have seeds in them. Sure, they're small, but they are IN there! :grumble:

What's yours?

    When I go out to places like the store or places as such and there are a lot of people and no one says excuse me. What really gets to me are those people that have strollers and expect you to move without them ever saying anything. They just look at you. HELLO! THEY TAUGHT YOU MANNERS! So what I do is just stand there until I hear something come out of them.

    When you are on an elevator and it's time to get off on your floor and the people waiting to get on the elevator on that floor pile in before letting you off. RUDE!

    Parents who let their children run around like it is a free-for-all at restaurants. HELLOOOOO, you are not at home. Teach your kids to sit still or use the take out service.

    cell phone use in the movie theater. In my experience the call has never been that important. all it means is that the person taking the call is a rude individual who is about to get yelled at by me.

    Or when the "old people" hit you in the back of the legs with their carts to get you to move? geesh. My biggest pet peeve, tho' is double standards, can't stand them.

    A person with the lack of self-awareness. This really is a catch-all..non-blinker-users, people who stop in the middle of Costco with their big *kitten* shopping carts, people who talk for 90% of an evening out with friends and monopoloze the convo with boring stories, people who don't read their audience, etc. Yep, all lack of self-awareness and awareness of others.
    Oh, and I HATE it when people use the wrong homonym...especially your/you're. :happy:

    Walking through doors with a crowd of people (think a herd of cattle kind of crowd) and the person in front of you, without even turning around to see if anyone is there, decides they shouldn't hold the door they just walked though for the person behind them (like the person in front of them just did for them).

    I see this every day in my commute and I want to trip them.

    People who make plans and then constantly break them.... "Sure, we can meet for lunch" -- the next morning "Oh, about lunch.. can it be a late lunch, like 145?" then about the time i get to work "rut roh, the late lunch doesnt seem to be panning out, will you still be in town about 3?" then just as im leaving to head that way "im not sure if i'll make it on time at 3.. could we just do dinner instead.. say 6ish?"

    Like WTF... sure, i have nothing else to do with my damn time than wait around on you to get your *kitten* straight. Don't jerk me around!

    Chewing with your mouth open.
    Talking with food in your mouth.
    Unnecessary noises (pen clicking, nail tapping, desk drumming, etc.)
    Using "try and" instead of "try to."

    "I want to try and lose weight." So you are going to try, and then you are going to lose weight?? No, you are going to try TO lose weight. (I blame my college professor for making me so passionate about this grammatical issue.)

    I have far too many to list them all. I can't seem to tolerate double negatives though. "You don't get none." My parents are guilty of this and it drives me nuts.

    I also can't tolerate stupid drivers. When there is a sensor at the red light under the road, and you stop your car 2 car lengths before the line, how the hell is the sensor supposed to know you're there so the light will change???? And I hate it when people pass you, only to turn off the road in a few feet. Really?! You just had to get to that road an extra second before you were going to? (and I have many many more pet peeves)

    People who stand still on escalators

    I always expect that these people are the ones that say things like "The reason I'm overweight is because I have a slow metabolism"

    I hate when someone says "someone made me do this" No on made you do nothing, you did it on your own free will.

    I have a number of pet peeves to be honest.
    1. When someone says you don't need to lose weight.
    I'm sorry but sometimes it's not their place to say. Sometimes, it's from people who don't even know me that well or people who I haven't seen in years and I'm talking to on the internet at the time. I understand why other's do it and the thoughts nice, but it seriously annoys me.
    I know what's best for my body, not you, stop telling me and let me do it myself thanks :).
    2. Maybe this is because I'm younger but the other response to 'watching my weight' or similar comments is when people wave chocolate or things you shouldn't have in your face and try to tempt you. It's not even funny, it's just really quite rude, I ask for support and you just make the whole thing harder for me .... thanks x
    3. Went to the doctor's lately and he confirmed that my BMI was quite high and I should start altering my diet and losing a bit of weight. When I ended up getting into one of the 'you're not fat' debates that's happened a lot lately I'd tell them this, not in a 'Yes I am my doctor said so' sort of way or anything, but you get what I mean?
    Then my friends would often be like 'No you don't need to lose weight!' 0.o hellloooo he's paid to tell me if I'm healthy or not and he has a number of qualifications in knowing if I'm overweight or not, I don't think his verdict really stands up to yours somehow >:*( GOD

    Shopping carts left out in the middle of the parking lot or in parking spaces so that you can't park in them. Hello! That's what the cart return is for. Put in the return or take it back in the store.

    Toilet paper/paper towels that are hung to go under the roll instead of over. If I am at someone's house and see that the paper doesn't go over, I change it for them. If the paper goes under, the pattern is upside down.

    Toilet paper/paper towels that are hung to go under the roll instead of over. If I am at someone's house and see that the paper doesn't go over, I change it for them. If the paper goes under, the pattern is upside down.

    This would drive me nuts. In one of my bathrooms the holder is high up on the wall and when the paper is over, it keeps ripping. If somebody did that in my house, they would find the door very quickly. I have it the way I want it, I don't go in their house and change their stuff around. My TP doesn't have a pattern anyway. I can see why it would be a pet peeve if it had a pattern. But my paper towels always have to go on the holder upside down because otherwise they hang in the sink if it hangs too low. So the pattern is always upside down. That doesn't bother me. (and I am this way because my gram has the audacity to go to relatives houses and change things, criticize how they do things, moves everything around (don't picture a sweet little old lady when I say gram, this woman is a 6 foot tall ball of energy bossy bullying machine) and specifically does things you ask her not to out of spite)

    The shopping cart thing irritates me too. You had enough energy to walk around the store with the cart, you can find the energy to walk it back to a cart return.
