Answer 2

My pet peeve is when I ask one of our three children that we are raising to do a simple task and they say "Okay" and then hours later it isn't done and I have to do it. We are raising our two grandson's 17 and 18 and our daughter that we adopted at 3 years old is now 15. All of them are procrastinators about chores or just a small task. I just hate to be ignored and have to do lots of things that add up when there are three big kids watching TV, playing games or just resting. I know, they are just teens. But, that is really my biggest pet peeve because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and sometimes I am worn out because no one wanted to help even load the dishwasher. How simple is that?

Answer 4

Chewing with your mouth open. Because it is disgusting.

Lying, it is just wrong.

Making fun of others, it is never good to make people feel badly about themselves, life is hard enough without that kind of crap.

People who won't let you off the phone. If I say I have to go...I have to go!

People who just drop by your house without calling first. Once in a while is fine, but there are those that constantly just show up on your doorstep. Rude!

People who let their children run wild in public places. When I am out at a nice restraunt paying $100 bucks for dinner the last thing I want is some screaming brat ruining my night. Why subject the rest of us to that? Leave the kid with a baby sitter or teach them how to act in public. Today I was at the San Francisco Zoo, a beauuuuutiful zoo. There was a boy about 3 and a girl about 4 SCREAMING "I want a toy NOW!!!!!!" It was awful! The mother should have taken the child home and never brought them back to the zoo again. But no, she stood there trying to "reason" with them while they screamed and cried and made our relaxing time a noisy unpleasant experience. Of course we moved on to look at other animals, but sheesh.

People who let their dogs bark and bark all night. It is annoying! It keeps you awake. The dog is obviously miserable. If you are going to have a dog it is your responsibility to make sure it is happy and content, and I should not have to be subjected to the constant barking and whining of a miserable dog.

People at the grocery store who stand there yakking on their cell phones while the cashier is waiting for them to pay and me and several other people are waiting behind them in line simply wanting to get on with our day, or get home to our families and make dinner, etc. Again, it is rude and inconsiderate.

Oh my, I have sooooooo many pet peeves but I guess you could just sum it all up by saying that people are just inconsiderate and that is unacceptable. We should all be kinder and more considerate of other people's time, feelings, space and peace and quiet. The world would surely be a better place. It would definitely be a more pleasant place, don't you think?

You have a beauuuutiful evening!

Answer 5

Idiotic drivers who either A) don't know how to drive, B) are complete asses, C) don't know where the hell they're going or quite what they're doing, D) drive 5+ miles BELOW the posted speed limit and E) All of the above. Actually, even moreso, I find quite annoying is the fact that our state's driver's guide is published in 9+ different languages OTHER than English.

People who are jack@sses to customer service people when it's unwarranted for. I worked in customer service for many years and it REALLY pisses me off when I see someone be a complete jerk to an employee who didn't deserve it. Don't get me wrong, I can understand if the employee asked for it, but I do see many cases where it's uncalled for. Fortunately, I no longer work with the general public and if I do see someone do that, I can call them out on their lack of social etiquette.

Religious fanatics who try to shove their beliefs onto others and have no respect for other people's beliefs.

Idiots who breed and procreate. If you ask me, in that manner, they're no procreating, they're con-creating. Enough said.

Oh yeah, and taking what Laughinitoff said to the next level about bad parents (which I agree wholeheartedly about - see the breeding idiots rant) is people who don't take responsibility for their actions/decisions. That is a result of bad parenting if you ask me.

Answer 6

People that litter.
People that go to the store and look like they just rolled out of bed.
People that are ignorant to things that are common knowledge.
People that do not do what they say without a call or explanation.
People that do not pay there own way or invite themselves along knowing that they won't pay.
People that use cell phones constantly and have nothing to say.
Service industry workers that are on cell phones and act as though you are (the paying customer) an interruption.
Bus boys in a restaurant that bang dishes in the dinning area.

Answer 7

People that take something to read into the bathroom.
#1 Your in there to go to the bathroom , not read. So s##t or get off the pot.
#2 Where do they put the material when they have to wipe? On the germ filled floor or between the stall door and wall, or on the back of the filty toilet?
#3 Do they wash their hands before they touch it again.
Some people have no consideration for others that may want to read the same thing. Maybe even unsuspectingly reading it while eating their lunch.
Pigs

Answer 8

People who brag about buying new stuff, and are obsessed with material things. I don't want to hear about it!

People who try to 'one-up' anything you say: no matter what your story is, they have a bigger one!

Loud cellphone conversations in public spaces... so boring.

Not using Spell Check before posting on line.

Not honoring commitments that were made. Including products that turn out to be defective, and they break the day after the warranty expires, but the company refuses to take any responsibility.

Wasting food or energy.

Rudeness, especially from anyone over 10 years old.

Parents who don't teach their kids good manners.

Answer 9

I hate it when someone orders another plate of food when eating out, takes a couple of bites, then throws the rest of it away. Especially when I'm paying. No explanation needed.

I hate it when you try to talk to someone about something out of concern and they start reminding you of all your personal failings. Why? Because it's frustrating and counterproductive.

I hate it when people try to give you advise or judge you about things they've never experienced. Why? Because they have no idea what they're talking about or what you're going through. It's easy to say something you might have read somewhere, but try sticking to your guns when you're in the thick of it.

I hate it when someone sees me cleaning something, and goes in right behind me and makes a mess and doesn't even think to clean it up. (Do I even need to explain that one?)

I hate it when someone lies to me. Cause that is also counterproductive. When I am mislead, I proceed under false pretenses. Then it's worse when I hit a road block (figuratively speaking) because I was not aware of all the details. At least if I'm told the truth I don't feel like a fool because if I do decide to proceed the same way, I'll be prepared for what's coming. Also, there's the feeling of betrayal when one is lied to. Let's not forget that.

I hate it when people make general comments directed at you and then act like they don't know what you're talking about if you say something about it.

I hate it when someone makes a scene to get attention. Why? Because if it were really important and needed to be resolved, why not talk about it in private?

Answer 10

My pet peeve is the misuse of language.

Most of us, especially here in North America, speak only one language. It is really alarming, then, that so many speak and write it so poorly.

Language is our only means of communicating with one another. In order to communicate effectively and avoid misunderstandings that inevitably lead to conflict, we need to be able to use language precisely and effectively. Yet many seem satisfied with a very limited vocabulary, a mere hint of grammatical structure, a passing acquaintance with the rules of spelling and the overuse of certain adjectives and adverbs, especially those of the vulgar variety.

No wonder there is so much disagreement!

(What I really hate it when I find myself making simple linguistic mistakes. At least they remind me to try not to be too judgemental when others do.)
