PET PEEVES - if you even know what they are

I get my work place warm so warm because it's normally really cold. I then get a couple of alcoholics in and some other people and they leave the door open. Please. Kill. Me.
Fo' shame! I'd keep that place closed up, least if I was there having a drinky...
 
Social smokers, or people who consider themselves as such. That's really ****ing stupid IMO. If any of you do it on here, no offence. I just don't understand it. If you're going to smoke just do it… not just in front of people.

That is a bit strange, gotta say....I can kinda understand though I guess, if it's anything like alcohol sometimes it's just nice to be around other people to be more enjoyable I guess, but yeah, I just as well smoke alone(most of the time I do!).

It's ridiculous. Smoking to be 'in with the crowd' or to join in with what everyone else is doing is whack. It's no better than peer pressure, but you're taking it into your own hands. I can say that I've grown up in a house of smokers and will most likely end up smoking, but I won't do it in front of people for sure. I think smoking is a very private thing and should be considered as so, unless you're hanging out with friends (who have no link with your reasons for taking up smoking) or around strangers. Not just under the influence of alcohol or at parties because others are doing it.

Well I can say from my own experience I will usually end up smoking at a party or with other people, particularly when I'm drinking(now I will admit that, I do like to smoke after a drink, I don't quite understand it myself..), part of it has to do w/ any tension that may arise or whatever but I'm just as likely to smoke alone for the same reason or other, so I'm not sure that would make me a social smoker..? In any case it's definitely NOT peer pressure that gets me to smoke, I do what I want 'cause I want to, no "feeling" the need to just 'cause others are...

Also, women/girls who say categorically "I don't get along with other women/girls".
Internalized misogyny much?

Ditto
 
When I'm in detention and some seventh graders go ahead and try to be little comedians. Only reason this annoys me is because then the detention teacher gets mad and threatens to make us stay even longer. Last time, we had to write an essay.
 
people who sit there constantly picking/scratching themselves.

like i dont mind you doing it, but it's so annoying when all i can hear is you going 'scratch scratch scratch' or 'pick pick pick' like it's so annoying. And then when out of the corner of my eye i can just see this hand doing slight movements i really just want to chop it off.

so if you're going to do it, do it discreetly, and do it quietly.
 
people who excessively flip their hair especially in class when you're TRYING TO READ SOMETHING ON THE BOARD

guys who sag their pants. do u know what a belt it

people who smoke in the middle of the way, like say you're walking down the street and someone's just standing right in the middle blowing smoke in peoples faces i just hate that so much

and people who feel the need to take a picture/selfie or record everything every second of their life especially when you're hanging out like ok it's fine for a little but then it gets annoying

People who don't use their blinkers.
People who have their bass turned up so high it shakes the windows of my house from DOWN THE BLOCK.
People who want to give you their opinion on a subject but refuse to listen to yours.
People who nag about EVERYTHING AND NOTHING (I hostess and get customers like this all the time).
People who can't appreciate a good pun.
 
If people have colds and they keep. Breathing. In. Very. Deeply. So it makes that horrible disgusting blocked nose noise and they do it repeatedly. It's soooo annoying! I remember during a Physics test before, my friend and I were sitting next to each other. We had both finished the test and she nudged me and whispered "---- keeps sniffing really loudly" and mimicked her. Yeah sure I guess you can't help it if you've got a cold but things like that are so off putting when you are in silence! Also, blowing your nose actually does help, and doing that silly deep breathing thing doesn't help your cold at all! We actually counted she did that sniffling sound 60 times during the last 5 minutes of the lesson. Dear god. =w=

I've had sniffling problems my whole life, and even after I got surgery for my tonsils and adenoids removed I'm still troubled with it sometimes. And it's physically impossible for me to blow my nose (I have tried for years on end). Like for some reason the structure of my face doesn't want to allow it. I don't know.

More pet peeves of mine:

*When wars happen only from people killing each other over religion
*When I try to be friendly to someone and they will not even talk to me. Like, what's your problem?
*I've said this before, but when people don't go on green lights. So dumb (Unless they're red-green colorblind).
*When people overhype about fads and music
*Whenever I tell someone I don't like listening to music at all and they laugh
*Whenever someone asks me to do something more than one time. I'll get to it! I don't like multitasking. My brain is set to only work on one thing at a time so I can focus and do it better than doing multiple things at a time
*When people still argue even when they are wrong.
*When someone contradicts their self like calling someone something and acting like it theirselves
*Whenever some guy stands right on the middle of a path and smokes. I'm going to use my karate, take the thing out of your hand, throw it on the ground, and tell you to do it somewhere else.

I responded to this Pet Peeve before:
As an anxiety suffering learner driver I do find it difficult pulling off at a green light at times, especially when the people behind you are revving their engines or pull away much quicker than me and basically rear end me, but when there is no one behind me or the drivers behind me are patient I can pull away easily. Please don't be harsh on people who struggle to pull off at a green light, they are often very nervous and your impatience will NOT help.
It's part of the reason that I now want to be a driving instructor in the future, specialising in Anxiety learners to help the ignore other people's impatience and ignorance when driving and teaching non-Anxiety learners to be more patient and forgiving with other drivers. I'm now close to doing my practical test, yet I still get bullied on the road, often by people who don't have a clear view of the road ahead, my dad has come in the learner car with me and my instructor and he was surprised by the amount of aggression I received from other drivers and I wasn't even driving at a busy time!!

Maybe there's a yellow box junction and their exit is blocked, you're not meant to stop in a yellow box junction so often you DO have to miss a green light to avoid blocking the road later on! This happens often at the traffic light junction near my college, there's a bus stop right next to the opposite set of traffic lights and at 3:15 PM when students are getting on the bus, a queue is often blocking junction for 2 to 3 traffic light cycles, so people have no choice but to wait!!

So thanks for saying that I'm dumb since I don't have the red-green colour blind excuse. Hopefully this is just you speaking after a stressful day along with a stressful drive.

More Pet Peeves:
-Queue cutters, having to wait for lunch at college can be really annoying as people jump in the queue so they can be with their friends! (I hate waiting for my lunch :( )
-Cyclists, half of them in the UK don't seem to know that they have rules to follow, heck there is a WHOLE SECTION of the Highway Code dedicated to you guys, follow it so I don't get yelled at when YOU'RE IN THE WRONG!
-Christmas adverts, god they are so repetitive, nauseating with the amount of food shown and shown way too early!

Yeah, but you live in Europe. Driving is different in the USA. Still sticking with my pet peeve

How is driving different in any part of the world different apart from the fact in the USA you drive on the other side of the road to us who live in the UK? I think Flying Mint Bunny just sent you that message because she wanted you to be able to empathize with people who don't drive as soon as there's a green light and that some people do have legitimate reasons. Yeah sure, it may be annoying if you're in a rush to get somewhere, but just don't blame it as being their fault.

A pet peeve I have is when you're having a conversation with someone and somebody will cut in and say "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT": this mainly happens when I have a discussion with a group of people in particular. The same girl always sits there, on her phone, not listening to a word anyone has to say, but then she will say "WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT". And normally... I just ignore her. If you REALLY cared about what we were saying, you would listen. But you don't. So I don't want to tell you. Most of the time it's not of any importance anyway.

Ah, okay. Never mind. I didn't understand what she was saying at first. :)
