My biggest pet peeve is superiority complexes!
I think people should be proud of what they are and what they have accomplished, no matter how small they may think it is. Why can't people just be who they are?!
My biggest pet peeve is people biting their nails. Drives me crazy.
Just pick one? Oh, goodness. I think I'm going to have to go with smacking gum and popping it, especially when talking. It's gross, rude, and makes you look sloppy.
stupid people are my biggest pet peeve
My biggest pet peeve is the sound of people eating. I don't know what it is but it drives me absolutely bonkers to here the mushing and the gnashing of food. Call me weird, but aren't we all weird?
Interruptions!
When people forward (usually false) info by email without first making some effort to check out it's truthfulness (at snopes.com or wherever). I think people tend to be too unconcerned about the fact that they may be spreading lies. It's too easy to hit the forward button but to much trouble to do a little due diligence first?
Negative people...never have a good day, or anything good to say about anyone.
I would have posted the previous comment under my user name, gwendak78, but for some reason, my password won't work. :) Oh, and my internet has been down for over a hour... :(
Right now, my biggest pet peeve is not being able to log a comment when I want to..gc
referees - because they are power hungry losers who saw their only way to be involved in the game was to screw the ones really involved.
i imagine there could possibly be an exception or two.
Oh Danny. Sorry, you missed the cut for a book. Thanks for playing though! Please, continue to share your pet peeves. I think they are funny.
Don't know if I'm too late, but a real pet peeve is those who profess absolutes and then make exceptions for themselves when application of the absolutes isn't best in their yes for them at the moment.
Yep, sorry Johnstons. I'm all out of books. Thanks for commenting though!
Looking at my reply, I would like to do a do over. It looked like I was three sheets to the wind when I entered it. So here goes. BTW, thanks for the reply.
