To ask whats your biggest pet peeve

[TheLoneWolfDies]

Just curious to see what really gets on peoples nerves?
Heres just a couple of mine..
-Loud chewers.
-People who are rude to anyone working in customer service.
-Mopeds.
-The fact that DP rolls his socks off his feet and everytime I'm doing the washing i have to go through it and open out the socks (this is a big one)
-The colour yellow 😂

When people say PIN NUMBER. That means you are saying Personal Identification Number Number. Just say PIN.

People walking along looking at their phone. I really can’t what is tha5 urgent tha5 you need to be swerving all over the pavement. This is particularly annoying when I’m out running.

Seeing people outside of their home in their PJ’s. is it so difficult to ge5 dressed?

Drivers who go on the wrong side of the road so they can straddle the speed bump. They do this when the one on their side is partially obstructed by a parked car. Just drive over it SLOWLY. Your car’s not made of glass FFS.

I’m sure there’s loads more.

When people type 5 instead of ‘t’?? Don’t know what happened there!

People MNers who can't be happy with just saying "we had chicken and chips for dinner".

It has to be "pan-seared breast of fowl, with an garlic and herb reduction, served alongside twice-fried hand cut potato goujons".

And then act like that's perfectly normal for a Tuesday and anyone who has an lidl chicken kiev and a pile of McCains is some kind of unspeakable neanderthal.

buzzbobly agreed! I was looking at a jamie oliver recipe yesterday online and someone had commented to say they added 'juice la tomate' aswell and it pissed me off so bad. You mean you added tomato puree you fucking asshole!

People who talk on the phone as if they have swallowed a fucking megaphone - why?

Yep, do you all want to know what the woman behind me on the bus said to so-and-so last night, cos she was soooo pissed?
No?
Nor did I.

Also selfish twunts that smoke in hotel rooms, set the bastarding fire alarm off, and then double lock the door and ignore my efforts to get in the room to check if there is an actual fire resulting in me having to do a full evacuation just in case. And then have the cheek to moan about the fine for smoking in the room, because I 'grassed them up'. No fuckwit, you caused 50+ people to have to get up and shiver outside for 20 minutes while me and the other staff had to check your room for a fire when you finally deigned to come out and float out the nearest fire exit. Not to mention having to call and then stand down the fire brigade.
Count yourself lucky I didn't tell the other guests who had set it off! They weren't a happy bunch and I can't say I blame them!

I may or may not be on my way home from the Nightshift from hell and a tad grumpy.

When DH opens a new tub of butter and doesn’t throw away the foil lid, just peels it back halfway then puts it back over before replacing the lid. It makes me so mad! Also not removing the empty loo roll tube from the holder, but perching the new loo roll on top. Grrrrrr.🤬

Worse when its a pack of Philadelphia cheese, which tends to be sloppier and gets all over the foil bit.

Posters who feel compelled to bring Brexit into every thread when it’s completely fucking off-topic. 🙄

Threads like this make me happy I work from home, but I still have a long list:-
Adverts for PPI
People on phones at cinema (yes, during the film)
People chatting in supermarket isles, blocking access
Politicians
People generally

You'd hate me, I have a bright yellow coat and am wearing yellow trousers (not at the same time).

Thanks for the info - I didn't know that. I don't personally use Chrome (I avoid Google wherever possible) but I'll check if there's something similar in Opera or Firefox. It's not a massive problem and I prefer to concoct my own passwords really - it's just irritating!

People, and they are in the vast majority especially on MN, who don't seem to understand the difference between 'bear with me' and 'bare with me'.

The former means 'give me a moment to explain fully' or 'I will be with you ASAP'.

The latter means 'I am about to remove all of my clothes and I invite you to join me in doing the same'.

People who txting, eyeballs glued to their dammed phone and walking along. Well I aren't moving mate!!

People who say "I'm being good." when they're just on a diet / not having pudding, esp if they pig out later in the day because they didn't eat a decent lunch. All foods are fine in moderation.

Free range children in soft play or museums - getting in the way / ruining it for everyone else.

People demanding sympathy when they lose / break mobiles that they haven't bothered to back up. Learn how to use the tech you've purchased - there is no good reason your "precious" photos to be just in one place.

Littering.

Children who don't tie their hair back at school (despite that being the uniform policy).

Recipes that only list the ingredients in grams! I can only visualise quantities without measuring things in imperial - my mum taught me to cook! It doesn't take up that much more space on the page.

When they add in that horrible wet squelching sound in tv or films when people cut themselves it sets my teeth on edge

Not managed to read the full thread yet but something that really really annoys me is when you're standing in a queue and someone stands right up your arse so that some part of them is touching you or so that you cant even readjust your handbag without it hitting them. And then if you shuffle slightly forward they move with you as if they're attached to you with a magnet

The word "like" being like dropped between like every word like in like conversation.
It makes my teeth itch!

The way my partner opens a new carton of milk, leaving the old carton with a little bit left in the fridge.

The way my partner thinks that if he shouts, I can hear him wherever I am in the house.

@woodcutbirds YES. I'm American and I live in the Midlands and I constantly hear people saying "I brought this at John Lewis." "We brought this at the shopping precinct." Etc. I absolutely HATE it.

I know Americans don't speak proper English but even we know the difference between bought and brought.

When dh wipes dirty crumby butter back in to the clean pot, absolutely disgusting.
When the DC shower and flood the bathroom.
When someone starts with' I'm not being funny' then goes on to insult me but it's ok because they started with that

Smokers. Asthmatic so one good whiff puts a real damper on my day and it's completely out of my control.

Forgot to add to the list seeing parents smoke next to there children it should be classed as child abuse, absolutely disgusting.

Oh I have so many.

• Chewing with your mouth open (here's looking at you, mum).
• people who say "Pacifically" instead of "specifically", "brought" instead of "bought" and "draw" instead of "drawer".
• Signage with a misused apostrophe. Somebody paid for that, why didn't they have it proofread?!!
• DH leaving wet towels on the floor instead of hanging them up, dishes on the counter on top of the dishwasher instead of inside the dishwasher, and breadcrumbs all over the counter.
• slow walkers
• people who crowd the tram/train doors to get on, and in doing so prevent people getting off!
• people who drive up my arse when i'm doing the speed limit already
• bastarding roadworks
• people who park partially covering our drive and making it hard (but not impossible) to get out

This is probably not an exhaustive list but they're my top picks!

Parents who dont clean their childs snotty nose or stinky nappy!

When I’m in a checkout line and someone with a few items behind me expects me to let them go first.

When someone talks and talks and doesn’t let you get a word in. That’s not a conversation.

When people stop when they get off an escalator to have a look around. I’m right behind you, dimwit, and this thing is still moving.

When people (DH) open things like bread by tearing open the bag instead of taking 1 minute more to carefully unpeel the tab opening. Then even worse leaving some of bread exposed to the air when it goes back in the cupboard. Cheese too.
