What is YOUR pet peeve? Let's have a laugh.

The publication of the rich list. Every year the press publishes a list of the richest people in the UK. Really really insensitive given the rise in the number of food banks :mad: it really gets my dandruff (dander) up!
 
When I spend 2 hours in my storage unit looking for items, only to find 1/2 of them.

I did organizing and cleaning up a couple months ago. Now I am looking high and low for a couple items. I end up buying new on one and still looking for the other. Sheet, I may just go buy the other one...
 
Just been on the road and in the air for a week.

People who think that a good place to stop with all their luggage is in front of the escalator or elevator at airports.
 
Those are the same twitts that stop and block the exit aisle or the doorway at any big box store. They are the same jackasses that park in the fire lane at the entrance causing chaos for everyone.
 
Dunno if this has been covered before, but,,,

When trying to merge onto a two, three or more lane road, some dipwad will cut over to the right hand lane to prevent a smooth entry. ...and then go back to another lane. Almost as irritating is the schmuck who was riding the right lane all along and refuses to pull into another empty lane for a minute or so to me to merge easily.

Oh, and the word "scroe". It makes me feel I'm dealing with a bunch of immature illiterates.
 
SCROE.....

MY PET PEEVE IS LIVING WITHIN THE CONFINES OF ANOTHER PERSONS OR GROUPS PERSONAL PREFERENCES !!!

But that's just one of them, but really.....what these days doesn't burn your hide. I wish it was like the old days where the only things you couldn't avoid was death and taxes. Now, the use of technology has made commercialism omni present.
 
My peeve about supermarkets is when people swing their shopping trollies out into the middle of the isle as if they were the only ones in the store. When I worked in a supermatket, sometimes I would see two women chatting in the middle of the isle and their trollies both completely blocking the isle. When I had to push a pallet trolly down the isle I just shouted "coming through!" Saying "excuse me" fell on deaf ears.
 
I think I mentioned it before in this thread, but while we are on the shopping cart rants- people who push carts in tiny thrift stores! Are you really going to buy enough crap to need a cart? No, they just want a rolling shelf for their 48lb duffle-purse. Then they look right past you as if you don't exist when they are blocking the aisle. Unless, that is, you are blocking something they want to look at, then you'll get the "sigh". Beat it lady. Doilies and straw-stuffed teddy bears are over there, this is the electronics shelf.
 
Here is one I've been noticing lately:

People who drive cars and wear ear buds at the same time. Why would you willingly compromise your level of awareness while driving a car? What if you can't hear the siren of an emergency vehicle approaching?

Bonus points if you're wearing a hoodie (with the hood up).
 
Just got reminded of this pet peeve: When grocery stores and walmart type stores close certain entrances at certain times. I'm not so bothered when they do it in the wee hours of the morning, but a busy grocery store in a relatively safe suburb closing their normal main entrance at 9:30 on a Friday is ridiculous.

Quite a few times I've parked at one end of the store only to have that entrance close while I'm in the store. A few times I've even walked all the way to that entrance only to find it closed, have to walk back to the other entrance to exit and then back down to the other to my car.
 
Ok, while I'm at the store, here is another: Juice labeled as 100% juice that is neither 100% of the juice it states to be (i.e. "Cranberry" juice thats made from other juices) NOR IS IT even 100% juice because it has other preservatives and chemicals! How in the hell can they get away with calling it 100% juice if it has other ingredients?!?!!? Where did these people go to school and learn percentages?! If you read the small print it says "made from 100% juice" WTF??
 
I'm in a state park inn right now that's very similar to a hotel.
Peeves:
Letting room doors slam at any hour much less at 10 pm.
Loud actions/voices in the hallway.
Kids running up and down said hallway.
 
Learned this last weekend: When stating in a hotel you didn't know is "pet friendly" and they place someone with a constantly yipping dog is next door. They didn't want to move me until I had them come to my room to hear it. Then they upgraded me.
