What little things gripe you? Pet peeves? Come have a rant! :)

[Kate&Lucas]

Websites full of bugs. I was just about to spend my money with Boots 3 for 2 but their site has crashed that many times I've gone elsewhere!

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

People spitting on the street. Utterly vile.

He absolutely revolting and completely unnecessary if you have to spit use a tissue or just get a drink if you have a bad taste in your mouth.

What really makes me heave is that the toilets in out local shopping centre have signs above the sinks saying "no spitting in the sinks please".

Revolting creatures!

 

[Palestrina]

I count on my fingers and I'm not the least bit offended! How silly to assume palestrina has an issue with people who have learning difficulties?

Thank you, I was starting to think nobody got the humor in my pet peeves. Just because something annoys me doesn't mean I'm being judgmental. Minor annoyances can't be helped.... well except with my husband the annoyance aggravates me - he has no learning difficulties he just can't be bothered and probably didn't learn to do it when he should have. Also, husbands can be very annoying so anything they do can grate on our nerves.

 

[Button#]

People chewing with their mouths open.

People playing loud music. Especially at night.

Spitting in the street

People who don't pick up after their dogs or who let their dogs run around children with no lead on.

When I'm talking to OH and he mouths what I'm saying.

 

[DandJ]

I concur with Palestrina... a pet peeve is a personal annoyance and this is what this thread is for. I count on my fingers because me + math = no bueno and I am not offended because it's a personal preference of mine. As long as the final outcome is correct, does it matter how it's done?

Another pet peeve of mine is people eating with their mouths open... DH is known for this. Ugh!

 

[BabyMamma93]

i hate people who eat with mouth open or slap their lips. even kids of a suitable age to understand how to eat with mouth closed.
OHs niece is real bad for it, it winds me up!
OHs grandad is too, hes all for table manners; no talking while eating, no elbows on the table, eat whats on your plate before going for more, eat meat first all that **** but yet he slaps his lips and eats with his mouth open.. sooo annoying

 

[minties]

My OH chews with his mouth open and it makes me want to scream. I make sure there is music on when he eats around me so I don't hear it.

 

[AnneD]

women who put on a helpless act so a man moves something heavy for them

Oh don't start me on this one. My MIL is an expert in this - "Oh [FIL's name] what do I do with this?" And then she'll poke it and wait for him to move it, even though it weighs less than 5 lbs.

I hate any kind of fake helplessness - "Oh, how do I turn the washing machine on?" while there's the on/off button staring her right in the face and she knows good and well how to do it.

When people spell my daughter's name wrong.... I know, this is petty and I figured it would be an issue when we chose to spell it the way we did [it's not uncommon but not the prefered way to spell it] but even LO's grandma spells it wrong... ....

My mum told me that when she and her sister were little they had a slightly batty great aunt who would send them letters and never did she spell their names right. To this day they often refer to each other as Churtein (Christine) and Roseland (Rosalind)

 

[Nut_Shake]

People who behave like they are the first and last people who have ever had a child. Don't get me wrong, we were all there once, first time mum confused/scared/anxious/frustrated/emotional...

But some people act like they are the only people who have ever birthed a child before and the entirety of the earth should revolve around them. 'I can't ever message you back, I have a baby'. 'I definitely won't be able to make it to your birthday in 3 months time because I have a baby'. 'Can everyone in the restaurant STOP TALKING, I have a sleeping baby.'

I guess because I wasn't like that I just don't understand it. People act so precious nowadays it drives me up the friggin' wall!!

My mom always misspells my nickname I've spelled it "Jenni" my entire life, yet she never remembers that and spells it with a "y". Drives me nuts.

when people pull the handle down and push my office door open on their way in but just walk out and leave it wide open on the way out. leaving me to get up and walk all the way out to the front door and close it

Urgh, yes, people do this to me too! Except mine doesn't stay wide open so it's just left flapping with every breeze and banging against, but not into, the door frame. So annoying.

YES! People do this ALL the time! My door is a major noise blocker too, because all the machinery in the lab is pretty loud. So when they leave it open, after having it so quiet to work, its deafening. hate having to get up and go shut it multiple times a day.

This annoyed me soo much more when Lucas was smaller. Especially when they'd say "you'll have to visit me, I can't come all that way with the baby". Hmm, you acknowledge that my baby of similar age hasn't made me housebound so your excuse is pure laziness!!

 

[kbwebb]

I admit I used to tell people to come to me when Lucy was smaller, but she had really bad reflux and both me and her used to change clothes 3/4 times a day 😳

 

[BabyMamma93]

when people say they are 'Board' or they are going to 'Colledge' oh my, probably winds me up more than it should

 

[BabyMamma93]
