What Pet Peeves Do You Have?

robman60

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.

Chuck Stone

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.

It my one and only real pet hate.

The Princess Bride

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.

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...

ImpossibleDuck

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

And people who leave doors open.

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!

Or in the pub and dump your change (plus notes) on left over booze on the bar. Where do you put the money?

The Princess Bride

When you're in a restaurant/theatre/company/with friends,and a mobile phone rings and the owner answers it.
Was at a play recently, and a woman's (in front of the stage) phone rang 3 times,really annoying.
Any time I'm out for a drink with my best friend,her husband texts her at least 3/4 times,usually to comment on the fact she's missing something that's on tv at home.Don't know which is worse-him texting or her reading it!!!!!!

Defo the not closing doors properly! My mates dad left a cupboard door open in the kitchen, above work top level. The mum didnt see it, hit her head and fell flat out cold. He rushed in, to pick her up off the floor, the dog thought he was attacking her with all the commotion and bit him! The mum was fine when she came round, he had 5 stitches in his leg.He now always closes doors!

I lived in Collogne in Germany for six months, dont ever go there , you are describing every single day that i was there. As for holding the door for someone , they actually went under my arm , i swear it was just mad! I was knocked over on occasion too without an apology. Came home for Christmas and i bumped into a guy in Dublin Airport bar ,spilling his pint all down his hand . He apologised to me !!!! ahh the Irish are great believe me , there's only a few who cause the grief!! Never went back!

Cavehill Red

We did this topic before. I stand by what I wrote then:

People who go on about 'sure they're all as bad as each other' when what they secretly mean is they're still going to vote Fianna Fail anyway.

People who talk about 'us' and 'we' when they mean a football team that they're not a member of which plays in a completely different country to where they are.

People who use PC buzzwords inappropriately to stifle debates they don't like/are losing. Examples: 'Racist!', 'Anti-Semite!', 'Sexist!', 'Homophobe!'.

People who send me spam emails asking me to join Facebook or Linkedin or somesuch waste of time.

Leopards. I just loathe them. Don't have to have a reason. Spotty cúnts.
