Pet Peeves

So, this was supposed to be a post about my top 10 pet peeves...but I honestly struggled to think of one to start things off. I got to work early after getting my haircut so I figured I might as well type out a draft for the post today since I worked until 8. It took me 40 minutes to think of 7 pet peeves.

When my co-workers came in I asked them if they had any. One of the guys couldn't really think of one (but he was a little distracted by a box of children's music toys). The other guy was blown away that I couldn't think of 10 and said he had sooo many, so I asked him if I could have some. Ha!

Granted when he said what one of his pet peeves was it was less of a pet peeve and more of a fun quirk. But it's something that bothers him so it's a valid "peeve" to have I guess.

Peeve...I don't think that can really be used in a sentence the way I just did.

So here's my list of 7 things. Does anyone else have any pet peeves that I can have?

Really my biggest pet peeve is rude and inconsiderate people, but I kind of split that into two though there are definitely more inconsiderate actions that rub me the wrong way.

1. People who chew loudly, with their mouths open. Apparently I used to do this when I ate apples...ask my brother. I don’t think I do it anymore. At least I hope I don’t because then this pet peeve would be hypocritical. 

2. People who tailgate, particularly on the highway.Or people who drive 10 under the speed limit for no apparent reason...or stop in the middle of the street...

3.When tags stick out of people’s shirts, I just want to tuck them in! My mom does, she just politely tells the person and asks if she can tuck it in for them... I may start doing that.

4. Consistent soft noises, like dripping, creaking or ticking. I need to find where it’s coming from. If I’m trying to fall asleep and there is a noise like one of those I can’t fall asleep.

5. People who are rude to cashiers and waiters or service personnel, especially about things that these customer service people have no control over.

6. Annoying contacts. I only say that because mine are bothering me right now and I can’t do anything about it because I forgot my contact solution and my eye drops. What a bust.

7.Stupid or annoying characters and books (and movies and TV Shows...but less so than books) who; don’t communicate properly and cause themselves pain, are oblivious to something obvious be it someone who loves them or a jerk that they think is nice, or respond in ways that a normal person in that situation would not. Georgia from Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging anyone? I was young...don’t judge my reading choices. Or Professor Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter who was not only annoying but also incredibly evil.

There ya go!
