What are your pet peeves ?

[SeekingAfrica]

People on the bus who talk so loudly the whole bus gets annoyed, yet they haven't noticed.
People on the bus playing phones loudly without headphones. You're in public. Respect others and use headphones.

And I'm sorry, but your baby playing with my hair when I'm anxious once is fine, you didn't know. Twice is tolerable-its a baby/toddler. But I'm sorry, the third time be a better parent, stop pointing at the baby like it's excuse for everything and if you can't get them to stop move to another seat, or adjust them in a way that they can't pull. I want to jump out of my skin when anxious. I Don't need anyone pulling my hair every 2 seconds, even if it's a cute baby.

Also having a really important conversation about something and having to repeat myself 3 days later!

It wasn't easy the first time. Pay attention or don't ask next time.
Sorry, annoyed today.

People who use the word egregious
Granted, mostly I've only heard Scientologists use it but yeah.

Also people who say price point when they mean price

 

[Lost in the Woods]

Egregious political true believers of all stripes. i guess tolerating them is the price point of freedom, even if that freedom is illusory.

people smoking right next to the bus stop because they’re not allowed to smoke in it. (and also by extension people who smoke in the bus stop despite there being a sign not to)

Some days it's the small things that send me over the edge... I have quite few Pet Peeves, and thought others would like to share theirs....

People pulling out in front of me, when no traffic behind me, to go one block and turn....
People standing in the middle of the isle while shopping...and being totally ignorant to me standing there fuming. I back up, go around the other isle to get to what i need, and then they are gone when I get there .....
Someone saying 'huh' when you have told them something really important.
Wishy washy people, friendly one time and a blank stare the next... (hmm, just thought, that could be one of US !)

My list is huge . Patience is NOT one of my virtues... so will leave room for others to share...

I fear to end my life alone, never married without children's. As I'm 40 already this isn't helping .. otherwise I'm scared of germs you can get from public places., to get stung by a mosquito that gives you some infected blood or a disease. To get something I eat from nature that a fix had peed on, and you get their disease that kills our organs and it is incurable! Or to watch someone I love to die in front of me

People who talk about something being their superpower
It's probably jealousy

 

[Shaylee]

People who say they understand CPTSD because they got some information from TikTok/YouTube or even read a book. Maybe it’s more that they need to understand the difference between “knowing” and “understanding” are two completely separate things.

When people make it a regular practice to laugh as loud as they possibly can… it feels aggressive. I understand that sometimes things are so funny and that’s not what I’m talking about. Seems like a way to dominate the room.

Two sets of rules. Argh! Makes me furious.

 

[notsurewheretoturn]

The insomnia helpline only being open during the day!

 

[redlabeldanger]

People who use acronyms on the internet as if everyone else lived in their own head! Take 10 seconds to spell the entire damn thing and you will save MANY people MANY seconds of wondering what you mean and maybe even having to search on the internet! (which multiplied by all the people reading your post, it's a lot of minutes)

Doctors who don't listen and don't even care to, but who do seem to delight in gaslighting their patients.
