What Pet Peeves Do You Have?

    This topic has probably been made before, but anyway.

    What are those little things that annoy the **** out of you?

    Mine:
    1. People who say "I seen" and "I done". Seriously, this is the most annoying thing ever. I mean, it's not any more difficult to say "I saw" and "I did".
    Also people who never use capital letters. I mean, it can make a big difference to a sentence; just one example of that can be seen below:

    "I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse".
    "I helped my uncle jack off his horse".

    This omission of a capital letter in Jack can make you appear as a creep who may perpetrate horrible actions against a poor helpless animal.

    2. People who are always scabbing money, and never pay back. I mean, you wanted to go to the shop, so where's your money?

    3. When people leave a phone charger plugged in and have taken away the phone. This drives me insane, 'nuff said.

    4. When those inlaws whom you barely know visit. I swear I feel so awkward when this happens. I try to just appear as if I'm making tea or something the whole time.

    People who cut the corner in a car when they'e turning right from the main road as you approach to turn right onto that road from a feeder road.

    People who slurp tea loudly.

    People who shout on the street.

    People who let their dogs ****e on footpaths.

    People who 'bully' young trees and plants.

    People who bump into you on the street and don't say sorry.

    Drivers who you allow out of a side road who don't say thanks.

    Bad Manners, drives me fu,cking nuts like how hard is to say thanks when someone holds a door open for you, say sorry if you bump into someone, wave thanks to someone if they let you out when driving etc. you just want to give them a good kick up the arse ill always make a point of letting people know im not happy i.e if I hold the door open for someone and they barge right past ill be sure to shout your welcome at them.

    It my one and only real pet hate.

    People not bothering to close doors. They're there for a fûcking reason. Close them!!.... And I mean properly, not just swung back so it stays an inch or so open.

    Man this gets on my nerves too. Xavi wins player of the year. Some idiot comments on FB, Messi should of won it.

    Drives me insane.

    Also, idiot parents who let their stupid kids, scan a weeks worth of shopping at the self service scanner tills, or enter the pin number at ATMs / checkout.

    People who fill up the kitchen sink with plates etc so there isn't room to get the kettle in under the tap.

    People who stack plates horizontally when they do wash up, so the plates don't drain.

    People who leave the end of a can of beer, and don't bother to tip it out when they have already brought it to the sink.

    When someone rings my doorbell,then rings it again almost immediately.

    Note to those people:

    I do not sit all day by my door,in anticipation of your arrival,I might be in a room at the other end of my house.
    Next time,wait a while before you ring a second time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,105 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Spelling the word "lose" and "losing" as "loose" and "loosing".
    Get it right, you fùcking idiots. It's not that hard.

    That's the only grammar gripe I have though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,154 ✭✭✭ImpossibleDuck


    People who use their phone 24-fucking-hours-a-day! (Teenagers in general)

    And people who leave doors open.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,222 ✭✭✭robman60


    Damn, some good quality replies here. I'll add my opinions about some of them.

    I also forgot to mention in my original post those people who ask for food at your house. I'm not Saint Vincent de Paul...

    Not closing doors is annyoing as hell as well. Whenever I'm on the computer and my parents come in, they always leave the door open. I don't ask them to close it becuase then they'll think I'm on porn or something.

    Another good observation has been made in the "could of" thing. Oh man, overuse of prepositions is really annoying too. Do people intentionally throw in extra prepositions?

    "Had he of played" is really annoying, and one I seem to always see on sites like YouTube is "Get him off of me". Just two examples where "of" is commonly misplaced.

    Another good point is people's lack of courtesy when driving. Good peeves guys, keep complaining!
