What Are Some Of Your Biggest Pet Peeves? What Do People Do That Really Annoys You?

Question

One of mine I would have to say is when someone starts overtalking you or interrupts you to talk to someone you were talking to. It's not just annoying, it's rude in my opinion.

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Being interrupted is a big one for me. I agree with you that it's flat out rude. Especially if I'm talking to someone and somebody else walks right up to that person and starts talking, as if their business is urgent and I'm not even there. It even bothers me when I'm chatting to my wife about something that's on my mind and she suddenly says "Oh, I almost forgot to call so and so" or whatever. It tells me that she wasn't listening to, or interested in, what I was saying. It kinda hurts my feelings. My urge, at that point, is to go silent.

Another one is bad grammar. I mean really wrong grammar. Like using the verb leave and let interchangeably. Or putting an "s" at the end of words like "you". Or saying "whenever" instead of "when", like "Whenever I went to the store today I bought some milk." There are lots of examples. I'm not super pedantic, but some things are just wrong.
Constantly using superlatives like "totally", as in "totally awesome".
Text-style writing can drive me nuts, too. U instead of you, 2 instead of to or too, no punctuation or capitalization. Ugghhh

That loud, high pitched giggling and screaming that a group of drunk party girls can do.

Ungodly fashion choices. There are so many. But I'll name guy's shorts that are worn below their ass. Or women's overly tight, hip-hugger jeans that squeeze their hips so tight that they overflow to look like giant love handles. Do they think those make their asses look smaller?

Radio DJs that cut songs off before they're over.

When people curse at you or say rude things in a discussion and can't act like adults and just calmly discuss their views and opinions. Like I understand you have ideas and beliefs, but just because I disagree doesn't mean that i should be called all kinds of things you wouldn't dare to call your mama. Like dudes and chica's, can't we all just talk and chill.. also I really dislike people lying to me/hiding stuff from me, that's not cool. Like, if I'm important to you, we should be able to be open with each other and not conceal stuff unless it is absolutely necessary.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Aggressive/competitive drivers...’nuff said.

I can’t stand when I try to be polite when walking in a tight public space and I yield to the person coming the other way to let them pass, like if they have a bulky bag or are pushing a baby stroller or it’s just someone I feel like I shouldn’t be risking bumping or rudely crowding as I pass... so many times there’s some idiot walking by me who is either clueless or impatient as fuck, and they’ll go right around me, crowding the person I was trying not to crowd, sometimes huffy, as if I’m causing a problem by having common courtesy.

I have a lot of speech-related ones too: people who pop their Ps, flick or lean into their Ls, and pronounce Ts too crisply; also when people can’t keep the ‘g’ silent in “-ing” words; people talking with a stuffy nose (not their fault, just irritating); and people who mispronounce coupon as “Q-pon.” Where is the ‘Q’ sound coming from? Not the “cou-!” NOT THE “COU-!” 😝

AND THE GAME IS CALLED “BEIRUT”, NOT “BEER PONG.” Paddles = Beer Pong; no paddles = Beirut... it’s not rocket science, kiddos🤦‍♂️

loveslongnails · Answer

My current biggest pet peeve is "English language abuse", most particularly the word "literally". One in 100 people seem to know its proper use. Other abuse includes:
* clueless about "your" and "you're" (and sometimes "yore") ! LOL
* clueless about "there, their and they're"
* clueless about "affect and effect"; "principal vs principle"

My biggest long standing peeve remains people who know one person in a conversation and interrupt it without apology. It's compounded if the person who knows the interrupter allows it, blows you off, and continues to speak to them. That's really fucking rude, and it happens far too often !

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

When people are pushy, especially when it's not their right, kind of like forcing a certain lifestyle upon you.

When people talk in a rude manner, there's better ways to talk to people without being a dickhead, even if you don't have something nice to say.

When people judge you for things you have no control over e. g. having a different taste in food, music, people, etc, like acting as if you're wrong, inferior or trying to make you feel bad over it.

When people always look for something to complain about with you, like no matter what you do, they'll look for something to criticize.

TCredo · Answer

Another great post Toots! The one you noted there is annoying... and it's funny with the cool pic at top - I am always amazed at people on planes when they think it's fine to bring on board food with a strong odor... it seems crazy that at some point in the decision making process as they looked at all the food options in the terminal and not at one second did he/she think "hmmm... I really do love anchovy pizza but I will be sitting with 100 people in a few minutes so maybe not..." lol...

Iron_Man · Answer

People licking their fingers at the table and they could be bringing your food to you or making it.
Also people blowing their nose at the dinner table and putting their napkin or handkerchief back on the table.
I'm not a fan of people making soup in the kitchen or at home where they keep stirring and sippin on the same spoon over and over and putting the same spoon back in the pot. Makes me want to haul ass amd never eat there again

JackSmy · Answer

People who grew up with only American "English" learning it in school, but then can't distinguish between Your, Yours or You're; or Their, They're and There; or to, too and two!!!
I see job applications and resumes and when I see errors like these, TRASH CAN!!!
Maybe I am just being too harsh? Texting is cool, and just making up new words because some are too ignorant to use the myriad words already in the Lexicon of the English Language, American version. . .

youngkass · Answer

Everyone out there has a bad habit or two. But for many of your language with moreus, they're not quite as obvious as sneaking the occasional cigarette or peppering curse words than polite company dictates. In fact, with the exception of a precious few, we all have a laundry list of seemingly inconsequential—yet ultimately highly annoying—habits that are so deeply ingrained we forget we're doing them

People saying:
"I could care less." - so you do care somewhat.
"Hold DOWN the fort." - doesn't gravity do that?
"Second OF ALL" - well except first.
"I could OF" - the word is have, of is not a verb.
"HorseBACK riding" - as opposed to horse head riding?
