pet peeves

[muppeteer]

what are you worst pet peeves & bug bears?
mine are unnecessary body noises (apart from farts) like that snorting thing people always do when im eating!

[alice1]

Am a female in a house of 3 other males. They make the most awful sounds in the morning. They snort and cough and make sounds that I cant spell! where do these sounds come from? Is it a boy thing? If so w hy?

I get really irritated by the noise of people eating - chomp, chomp, munch, munch, crunch, crunch, arrrgghhhhh ! It drives me nuts at work - so much so that I have to leave the room. Another peeve is when someone has made a cup of (instant) coffee and they insist of stirring the spoon really noisily about 20 times, scrape, scrape. Grrrr.

[muppeteer]

i think you spell it like this
kwaaaip! gnaaaw!

[aka pixi]

my pet peeves are touchy feely people. I really hate it when Im chatting to someone and they feel the need to keep trying to touch me, I especially hate it when its someone I dont know very well. I have a personal space bubble about 10yards across lol

my pet peeve is people who leave the price stickers under their shoes in the misguided belief that other people won't be able to see it.

[jump79]

When people interrupt conversations to make phone calls (esp. when it's just for a chat! )

People babbling away on their cell phones all the time

Ring tones turned on LOUD

Bawling babies who refuse to stop crying: more unbearable if you happen to be waiting in a long queue

Long queues

darrenlass77, thanks i thought it was only me, i hate the sound of people eating, especially grapes, hard chocolate, crunchy salads or people eating with theiir mouths open, don't know why, but it really peeves me, help!!!!!!!!!!!

[noxlumos]

People speaking to you when they have a cigarette hanging from their motuhs puffing and coughing all over you. People who has things like "At this moment in time" what the matter with now? and "revert back". If you revert back you stay exactly where you are you muppet.Any over used phrase does it for me actually "rock and a hard place" sending me into incadesant hopping rages, "even stevens" and people who wear white socks with suits.

CRISPS and APPLES at work. Someone sitting gormlessly staring at a screen, and the bag goes rustle rustle rustle, then crunch crunch crunch, then munch munch munch.

IF YOU WANT TO EAT CRISPS PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM.

It drives me absolutely effing crazy, and I either leave the room myself or disappear under headphones with some Mozart.

[Darrenlass77]

Curlyfilm - I am glad I'm not the only one either ! Crisps, raw carrots and apples really annoy me.

I also have a co-worker who just *loves* to talk and has no trouble spending over an hour on the phone to clients. When he comes off the phone, the really irritating bit is that he then proceeds to tell all of us what the conversation was about (if we ignore him, he just wanders off to another office until he can find someone stupid enough to listen to him).

[Darrenlass77]

LOL at Whiffey - join the club !! I think I need to get some headphones at work now - cracking idea, thanks.

[Darrenlass77]

Oh and same co-worker has the annoying habit of telling you the same thing but in three different ways (just to make sure you really have understood him) and always finishes a sentence by saying "Right" in a questioning manner. It often comes over as highly insulting and I have to bite my tongue.

[joby1]

people who stir their tea/coffee for about 12 minutes, making sure they continually 'ding ding ding ding'

[OBonio]

You know those new bottles of ketchup that are designed to be stood on the lid? I know not one person who stands it on the lid! Even though the label is upside down!! I fear I will get OCD because of this.

[whiffey]

On a roll, here's another. Asian grocers always have impossibly narrow aisles, so whenever I am in there browsing the vegetables and chilli sauces, all I ever hear is a constant "scuse me please", "scuse me please" as the world and his wife want to push past me.

[muppeteer]

lmao at OBonio! i do keep the ketchup upside down. also hate it when people open a bag of crisps upside down- just look at the damn bag first! (yep, i'm ocd aswell!)

i hate it when you are at the supermarket & the person at the front of the queue waits until their shopping is scanned & they are asked for the money before getting out their wallet. they either take forever to count the money or realise they have lost wallet. infuriating!

[Blyss]

ppl with LOUd ringtones on a bus , who answer and sit giggling like a bloody baffoon.
ppl who stand to close behind me in a queue.

[peanut]

people who stand two inches from your face when they talk to you and when you back up they move closer
people who move to the far right side of the road to turn left making it impossible to pass them (im in the usa)
people who are so entranced in the television that they cant even hear you yell thier name
people who lick thier fingers when touching or serving your food
the annoying sound of a crinkeling sound of a bag of chips

Ok i think ill stop now.
