Our pet peeves

[Maxim]

I have so many.

Let's start. 

• I don't like men on bicycles. Don't ask why.
• Children that act like grown ups. 
• When someone is eating crackers near me - I can go into a mental breakdown from the noise.
• Women who laugh hysterically to draw attention to themselves. I mean... really. It's not that funny. You are just trying to get that guy to like you. Cringe.
• People who talk really slow. Like really really slow. I find myself trying to finish their sentences.
• I hate strong smells in the bedroom - a deodorant can wake me up and make me not be able to fall asleep.
• Drilling noises nearby. I have called police for this.
• Neighbors who always want to talk, even when I clearly... with body language and attitude... am saying - Not now.
• When people forgive their enemies after dragging me into their fight... and in the end everyone hates me. LOL.
• Smell of BLEACH can make me go crazy if I sense it near me and I will not go into public toilets that smell of bleach.
• People who don't take care of their dogs make me angry. Like literally saying to me - my girl doesn't need a trim, she's beautiful like that - Well No - she needs a trim. I can't even see your dog's eyes from so much fur.
• Bananas that look ripe, but are NOT.
• People who talk with a loud speaking voice - Girl, Bye.

I can go on and on and on.

 

What are your pet peeves?

Chewing with mouth open should be against law.

ESPECIALLY WITH GUM AND MEATS! Like, OMFG, were you raised in a damn barn?! Ugh. It's annoying.

[Maxim]

DISGUSTING.

Let me add another one - My biggest pet peeve, but it's actually a type of person is the man that is fake overly macho, like OVER THE TOP, fake-deep voice talking, mansplaining, coming to fix your gym-gear when you don't need him to do that, coming in your presence to give tips and his POV without you wanting it - JERK. I swear there is a woman version of this and this is the gossip-girl-aunt that cries if you are not married by 30 and tells you you will die alone and eaten by cats.

Another one - people who laugh at dumb comedies aka someone farting for 1,5 hours and this is a comedy... wow. I have relatives like that in my family and I have left the cinema multiple times, because I can't take the stupidity and farting and talking about excrements. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, excuse me, but what are you doing in that movie in the first place?!! Aren't you just buying trouble?

 

I guess my biggest pet peeves are either about words or about dogs. 

Grammatical errors, like the misuse of I or me. But with typos & autocorrects I also can have a sense of humor. It's not a surprise to me that these things bug me. I used to be employed as a proofreader, a copy editor, a technical writer, etc. 

People who don't clean up after their dogs. People who let their dogs roam off leash in area where it's not appropriate & usually not safe. People who get a dog & then tie it or chain it out back & then ignore it.

Well people don't always know what is in a movie before watching it. Also when a relative tells me let's see a nice comedy I sometimes say yes. There is no way for me to know the movie will be so disgusting. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Yeah, unfortunately the movie ratings guide doesn't include things like

Warning: Barnyard humor      or

Warning: Aimed at 12 yr old boys

AND THE WINNER of the topic - people who don't pick up the poop of their dogs. I'm on the lookout for these people. The city loves to know who they are. 

[Maxim]

People who ask me something on messenger or viber and when I respond, they only give an emotion reaction to it. B-tch I took the time to write a freaking sentence to you, BECAUSE you ASKED ME SOMETHING - now you gonna just put a smiley face on or a heart emoji - I put your ass in the no notification folder right away. BYE.

People do this to me all the time! Their fave emoji seems to be Thumbs Up!  HATE IT.

[Maxim]

People who can't separate actors from characters. Scary.
