Pet peeves

We've all got them. What are yours?

For me, it's people chewing with their mouth open and cutting me off mid-sentence. Rage.
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    When people say the word “Moist “ or people grinding there teeth. 

    Worse one when people finish sentances for me if I’m taking too long 😂
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    People who stop in the supermarket to catch up with somebody in the middle of the isle, like can you not, this is why I do my food shop online. 
    " And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
    " So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

     Yes. This. Fucking hate people who cham.

    People who respond with "If you like" when I offer them something. It's not if I like, it's if you fucking like. My missus does this.

    Also people who give change on top of notes.

    Private numbers or cold callers ringing me.

    Cornflake drivers (drivers who didn't earn their licence- they got it from cornflake vouchers.)

    Rubberneckers (people who stop and stare at car accidents- especially on the motorway.)
    When someone doesn't reply to the text I sent.

    When someone is sitting in my seat in class and won't get out.

    In dance club when the other girls just wanna blast afro beats and not let me use the music I need.

    Doctors when they mess up your repeat prescription request  (happens to my mum, not me.)

    When people cut the queues.

    When the wifi is down.

    When I can't find my pen or pencil.

    When someone sits next to me in lessons.

    Urgh loads of things

    When people say "dont look..."

    It just makes me automatically look, so there is no point saying it haha   


    Edit - just realised that is probably a pet peeve in it self hhaha (looking when say not to)

    Have a lot just thinking about when im working in retail

    - other people who do not say thank you when i either hold the door for them or i let them go first. 

    - customers who accidently drop something on the floor and not bother picking it back up!!!  

    - customers who are right next to me at folding tables and make no effort to get the clothes nicely. Like i am right there. Be as messy as you like but as long as im not looking lol cause stressful

    The next level of this is when someone overtakes you and THEN walks really slowly. WHY.

    I went to a gig a few weeks ago and it reminded me how much I cannot stand people videoing it. It obscures the view for people behind them and it feels disrespectful to the performer. Also, the logic of "I'd like to watch this, but smaller, in worse quality, and in my own time." Take some pictures, maybe a short clip, then just enjoy it. God damn.

    People who dont say please and thank you and just general lack of manners.

    Also when I see people getting really aggressive to staff anywhere when it's not their fault. We're all just cogs in a machine, they dont make the rules or the prices, they're just trying to earn a living like everyone else.

    People who walk out a shop and just stand in the door way, is it that hard to move to the side???

    People who are always late to everything, no matter how much warning you give them in advance that they need to be there for a specific time
  • DancerDancer Community Champion Posts: 7,780 Master Poster
    When people kick bags instead of asking people to move them.

    When you have to repeat yourself 20,000 times before you are heard.

    People not knowing what a queue is.

    Yes, this! Been nowhere in my life worse for queuing then when I'm travelling to my partners and I have to change at Bristol bus station.
    Sounds really annoying.
