Pet peeves

What is your biggest pet peeves regardless of the relationship to the person. For me it's lying about liking something I have bought/made for someone. I've had a few instances of this happening in my past. At least let me know you don't like something at the point of recieving/trying 😅 at least that way I'll know not to buy/make that particular thing for that person again. Another is being very judgemental my mum and one of my brothers can be like this and it drives me insane.

Lying about ignoring a call. “Didn’t hear my phone” “It didn’t ring”
Theres 2 different voicemail messages when someone doesn’t answer and when someone sends you to voicemail 🤦🏻‍♀️ just say you didn't want to talk or was busy. Why lie?

An ex friend of mine was notorious for this! Usually had the it didn't ring excuse. If she had people around and wanted it backed up she'd put her phone on airplane mode or do not disturb

Long term friend texts. I reply. She ignores me.

The same ex friend also did that frequently 😅 then when pulled up on it would pull the she didn't get the message (even though it clearly delivered and she was online) or that we were not letting her have space even though she initiated

@Kerkyra2024 I think in my example it’s some sort of power struggle. Think she wants to see if she can get me to reply. It’s getting really boring. You wouldn’t think we’re the age we are.
