Do you have pet peeves?

Question

I've been told my pet peeves are a little unreasonable. I have OCD but my friends don't agree that my pet peeves are legitimate things to get annoyed over. Here are a few examples::

The fitted sheet of a bed coming up
Stacks not being straight
Folding the corners in a book
People tapping fingers LOUDLY and for an extended period of time
The way people say certain words
Melk=Milk
Nekkid=Naked
When people TyPe LiKe ThIs!
Things not being alphabetized.

etc. etc.

What are some of your quirky pet peeves?!

ALSO!

People saying "Axe" instead of ask.

URG!!!

Answer 1

I can relate to your list. Here are some of my own:

People driving slow in the fast lane.
Saying "no problem" instead of "you're welcome".
Singing or whistling at work where many other people can hear.
Honking your horn in front of someone's house to get them to come out.
Not stating your name when I answer the phone.
Leaving time on the microwave.
Websites where you have to fill out way too much info before it will tell you some of your data is wrong.
"Press 1 for English."
Not using turn signals.
Saying "like" instead of "said". ("So she's like, 'WTF'? And I'm like, 'IDK'!)
Repeated use of "you know" when explaining something. (No, I don't know, or I wouldn't have asked!)
Sales clerks asking me if I'm a member of their store's savings club.
Customer service phone reps trying to sell me something when I'm calling with a complaint.
Being left on hold.
Having a conversation with someone in his office, he takes a phone call when I'm standing right there.

I'm sure I have several hundred more.

Answer 2

Get ready man... this one's a whopper.

untidy cabinets: stack things in order by size, and lines pls
when boxes and cans are mixed up: ok i really need all the boxes together, cans together, jars together etc. It makes me crazy
hanging the clothes the wrong way: my closet has everything facing a certain way just keep up with it. lol
leaving the toilet seat UP: errrrrrrrrrrrrr
squeezing the tooth paste from the middle
improper annunciation, and spelling. (though I'm guilty too. Hello, I'm from boston, we dont even KNOW the letter "r" exists!)
People who try to immitate the boston accent, you'll never get it so stop trying!
ax instead of ask
deskis instead of desks
people who walk slow: unless there is some physical impairment
people who use filler words: "um" "uh"
stupid people/questions: ME: "Mass Commission f/t deaf and hard of hearing how may I help you?" STUPID PERSON: "uh yeah, is this the commission for the deaf?"
Dumb YA people who DONT answer the question, but preach to you about a situation they know nothing about. lol
people who smack their mouths
people who suck snot rather than blow their nose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG THAT DRIVES ME NUTS its the most disgusting sound in the WORLD!
people who use their fingers to eat. Unless its pizza, use a knife/fork you jerk!!!
when my mom falls asleep while we're watching a movie... (That's why I dont go over often... lol she does all of the last 4)
people who cant sing, but try
gum poppers!!!


I think I'll stop there... Thanks for asking that was liberating!

Answer 3

I have so many I will submit my retail related list:

* People with over 40 items in the 20 items or less line.
* Coming in the out door.
* Leaving clothing strewn everywhere instead of back on the hanger.
* Finding one side of a really nice pair of shoes in your size.
* Loose hosiery, the size chart is on the package for crying out loud!
* Loose underwear, I don't even want to know that story.
* Touching eaten fruit in the produce section, ugh!
* Puddles in the meat section.

Answer 4

I think your friends should be more understanding of your OCD. Anyway, I don't have OCD, but I do have some pet peeves.

I'm irritated by blatantly bad grammar and people who misuse or mispronounce words, though I try not to be. Bad acting gets on my nerves, and a lot of adverts on TV irritate the crap out of me.

There's an advert for 'Injury Lawyers 4U' (or something like that) where there's a woman interrogating one of the injury lawyer people, and she's an annoying, slanted-mouthed, unreasonable *****. And that gets to me.

Answer 5

Mine.
When my sibling gives a jerky or nagging comment. I always want to swear back at him or say your not my mother but I can't b/c he's family.
Nose pickers.
Coughers who don't cover there mouths. I'm not a germaphobe but still be considerate people.
Snobs.
Chompers I hate it when I have to sit by people who chomp there food.
Loud breathing noises while eating like my sibling does.
I'f I'm moody or just feeling cranky from being a woman then anything can get to me.

Answer 6

I agree with all of yours, plus:
- Messy desks/cubicles....I have the only organized desk in my office...other folks think I'm weird
- Unmade beds
- Clothes just stuffed in drawers instead of being neatly folded
- Calling soft drinks "pop" instead of "soda"
- Eating inside my vehicle
- People on the cell phone while driving
- Smoking anywhere and the butts they leave scattered everywhere
- Dirty fridge, oven, microwave, etc.

Answer 7

I SO agree with you about the folding corners down in books - I thought that was just me!

Also, people who type as if they're writing a text message.
Clothes on dogs.
People who talk with their mouth full.
And my top one is people who say "I seen that" instead of "I saw that."

Stains
Tiled kitchen floors
Washing out the sink after dishes are washed
