Light-hearted pet peeves

[brownie64]

What about when people say, 'irregardless' !!!

Or, 'hot water heater'!! lol, everyone knows you dont need to heat hot water yet even contractors say it!!

(LOL) I never looked at that way before. I've always called them that because that is what I've heard others call them , but you're right if the water is hot what do you need a heater for. Now I'll have another pet-peeve.

Another one! My husband says "wonder" instead of "wander". He used to say "I'm going to go wonder around" and I thought he was trying to be deep. Turns out he just didn't know he was saying it wrong.

I hate when people chew with their mouth open or when they smack their gum.

Oh and I hate when people try to correct my pronunciation.. Leave me alone- I'm from the south.

My husband would say PhiladelTHia instead of Philadelphia. I'd ask him what "ph" said and he'd say "ph" but then I'd say say Philadelphia and he'd say Philadelthia again.

Spellcheck drives me crazy too.

I dont have many pet-peeves but these three will bring out the incredible hulk in me.

People that suck every last little bit of beverage out of a straw.

People that make unnecessary gulping sounds when they drink.

Chewing with your mouth open. Smacking lips...

Listening to anyone chew food. I can chew as loud as I want but you better not make a peep.

 

[brownie64]

Mine would be cabinet doors left open.

 

[FlChamMom]

Mine would be cabinet doors left open.

That one kills me too.

LOL!! I hate that too! some people were never taught any table manners.

Sitting at my cube at work, I can hear this woman eating her lunch every day; "smack..smack..gulp...gulp...slurp...smack..."

That's bad but I'm not even talking about the smacking or chewing with mouth open. Just normal eating noise. Drives me insane. A few years ago they had a commercial on TV for a breakfast cereal where they amplified the crunching. About killed me every time it came on. My blood pressure went through the roof. It causes extreme rage. I have a condition called "misophonia". I can't go to the movie theater because the crunching of popcorn.

 

[Psychobunny]

Oh no! I had to look that up!!
What do you do when you have an 'attack'??

I dont think that would classify as a 'pet peeve', it's an involuntary condition

I have to get away from the source of the noise. Otherwise I take it out on people and make enemies because they don't understand.

 

[KarmenCham]

my main peeves are
those idiots that drive down a 3 lane motorway in the Centre when nothing is on the inside lane for miles
doing 85-95 mph and having someone driving so close you cant see the first 4 ft of their hood/Bonnet
American accent makes me cringe everytime I hear it
those idiots that park in the disabled bay that aren't Disabled
Not necessarily in that order

 

[junglefries]

Oh, I hate it when people write only in lower case, no capitalizing anything!!

Uhhh ohhh! Guilty as charged. That is four our fathers and six hail marys, i guess. Do you know how hard it is to capitalize on a phone. My pet peeve: people with scary a$$ avatars. (Don't worry, the easter bunny, knows i am kidding.)

You might go homicidal if you ever heard my dog eat ice. The chameleons chewing on crix doesn't bother you? Or do you just feed them silkworms or hornedworms? (Not making of HBP, as I take 25mg of Coreg a day.) What the hell, stupid easterbunny complaining about my capitalization. This is too hard! I quit this site.

 

[junglefries]

so sorry for three in a row, but

My world just ended. I knew olimpia was female, but ferretinmyshorts and lathis. OMG! I know about assumptions, but I refuse to look up peoples' (correct use) pertinents. It is invasion of their privacy to me. But the way they post, I knew they were male. At least, I thought. What's next, I find out my ambilobe is a beardie? This is sooo wrong. I wished I drank.

 

[Lathis]

Hahahahahaha! It's not your fault. My husband says I "type like a dude" (whatever that means!). I'm used to it. Back when we used to play World of Warcraft, I always chose male characters and the hubby always chose female ones. Confused everyone

I do drink, and I will have an extra one for you

 

[junglefries]

My son's mom and I used to play Elder Scrolls together. Me as a female and her as a male. It's the single people playing as opposites, where it can get a little creepy. Nice to know I am not but so weird. But seriously, your hubby is right. I would have bet my house you were male. What's next, piglett79 a male? Could ataraxia be female, too? I do know laurie is for sure a female, at least. This has seriously disturbed me. I gotta go check my birth certificate, I am not so sure anymore.

Nah, just human chewing for some reason. My dog chomps his food really loud but it doesn't bother me at all. Yeah, it's weird. My dad has the same condition, same with my brother, and I passed it along to my daughter. If I eat a carrot I have to go into the other room if she is home.
