Obsessive sniffing. I have to control myself not to throw a box of tissues at the person. My husband and son both sniff more than I can handle. And I'm not talking about when they have a cold, it's all the time.

Yes, I hate this. They even did it in the first episode of The Walking Dead. There are zombies out there! Seriously, if that's not a reason to close the door then I don't know what is. It completely shattered the realism of the show for me. No one that stupid could have survived a zombie apocalypse.

Slurping and loud chewing. I’m getting twitchy just thinking about it.

They talk regular volume in the back during the one big class I have, but most of my class are puny, I guess they know there's no way anyone can pretend not to hear them then. My favourite prof is the one who threatens to kick out anyone who has conversation whispers.

I just really hate the squeaks and hisses people make when whispering.

I say no problem also at work especially when a customer says thank you. It's my job to help you find that sweater or ring you up.

Oh and I hate when people in sitcoms don't pout anything into the cup or only pour a little

Oh and on facebook when you check your notifications and the little number doesn't go away

Ugh. This. All week its been doing it.

I can't stand people who go to the self-checkout line at the grocery store with tons of items and no clue how to self-check. (Or, they know how to use the system but they are SUPER slow at it.)

I know that everyone does this at some point, and that some people just aren't ready for change yet, BUT.... lately there seems to be an abundance of people in my life who come to me and complain about [love life, weight, baby daddy, job, etc.] and ask me "how can I change it? What would you do? Please help!" So I share what I can. I don't have experience with some of those things, so I try to be helpful and not pushy. They seem receptive, happy, whatever, and then the next day or two, it's like deja vu or groundhog day (the movie)... repeat, repeat, repeat.

If you don't want to change, that's cool, but please stop complaining to me and asking me for advice. I don't like talking to walls, and I like to try to stay positive.

But the talkers are way bigger crassholes. And it isn't fair to anyone else. It is also a peeve of mine. Even all this time out of school.

When people talk on their cellphones holding them like CB radio receivers, and then move it to their ear to listen after they talk... back and forth like this for the entire conversation... mouth to ear, mouth to ear... How can they hear the person on the other end when they are talking? They can't!

When people chew with their mouth open. KILL KILL KILL.

And snap their gum loudly, too?

Oh, oh, and also on tv shows, they never ever use toothpaste when they brush their teeth. Who the hell only uses water when they brush their teeth?....maybe I should just stop watching tv as it seems to annoy the hell out of me..

When people use the push-to-talk (walkie talkie) feature on cell phones when they are out in public.

Bad drivers. I am really confused as to how some people that seem to have driver's licenses got them. They really don't seem to understand the basic rules of the road.

I had the opposite problem -- I was way ahead of my classmates and bored out of my mind in school, and begged to skip ahead, and my parents were dead against it, thinking I'd end up a socially maladjusted weirdo. Well, guess what, I ended up a socially maladjusted weirdo anyway...and by high school, I had given up on school altogether, because I wasn't getting anything out of it and nobody cared enough to challenge me intellectually. There was one point at which the school I was at ALMOST convinced my parents to let me accelerate in a few subjects, at the beginning of middle school, but then I had to move schools again, and the new school was a whole year behind the school I'd been at before, so it was a great big waste. So now not only am I a socially maladjusted weirdo, but there are HUGE holes in my education because somewhere around 8th and 9th grade, my brain just shut off.

Stephen Colbert did a thing on this and it was really witty. You should check it out if you haven't seen it already. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colber ... m-erection


My husband does this and it drives me batty. I suppose he thinks some magical kitchen fairy (ME) comes along and does the rest. And why wouldn't he? TV has been subconsciously instilling this idea in him since he was a child.

I hate when sitcom people take dainty little bites. I realize this is because they have lines that need to be comprehended by the audience but it bugs the shiitake out of me anyway. Take a real forking bite.

And when they leave a meal they've just gotten or taken one or two bites of - box that shiitake!

graciakai, you're super funny and sooooooooooo freakin' accurate. I agree that you must retreat from our minds, woman.

When your best friend from college is extremely talented and has made a career for himself doing what he loves and is very gifted at (and he's driven and he's worked very hard), and everyone loves him, and he meets famous people and he lives a creative, fulfilling life, and you almost can't even stand to hear from him now because, just by living his life and being himself, he makes you feel about 6 inches tall in comparison.

Anyone else hate that?

when people don't return my emails or acknowledge things i've done for them. i guess it's more than a pet peeve because it hurts my feelings.

i hate listening to people cutting their nails

Yes, this exact thing is true for me as well. Oh but add on he is also the most ridiculously good looking man you've ever seen! What is with these people!

this and the new iphone update for fb, you can't upload photos anymore, I just get an error.

Major peeve, new things that don't work as well as the old.
