What's your pet peeve(s)?

Not mine, but I thought it was pretty funny; my dads girlfriend absolutely hates it when people leave the toilet seat up, but I heard her on the phone to her friend that me and my dad are even worse, because we put the entire lid down, so it's just as annoying for her, but she doesn't get to complain to us :P

haha. thats pretty good, although i think it is common for women to dislike the toilet seat being left up so its not really any ones pet peev. My mother however never cared if it was up or down, probably since she had alot of brothers, but its really not that big of a deal to pay attention and put it down.

I always try to remember to the seat down however, since its also not that big of a deal for me to do that either.

You want to pull a good prank? Remove the toilet seat entirely, than close the lid. She will be like, "AWWW NOT DIS AGAIN!" only to witness her worst nightmare.

The number one mega big annoying crime and yes it is a crime and yes it does define how decent of a human being you are is;

You MUST squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom. Don't from the middle or the top are you insane? I don't know why this bothers me so much apart from some weird ocd need to have neat toothpaste. Sadly I see a squeezed at random toothpaste tube every day and must accept that these things happen some people are just proper mentalists. I genuinely don't know why this happens because I am a very messy person in every other field.

Also the news. I don't watch it but if I happen to see it on you will see me having an argument with a tv screen. Yesterdays was 'What the? No!!! Your BBC news you just give the news you don't make inspirational music themed reports about the Olympics!? Since when is it your job to hype? Just give non biased facts.... (I went on for some time).

I think there are more but it makes me seem a bit crazy so I shall not continue.

People that tailgate you when you're already going at or over the speed limit. I'm going 5-10 over, any more and the next cop I pass will pull me over. Seriously. [censored] off.
The road outside my house is a 30mph limit but most people seem to think it's a 60, so there are police with speed guns down there all the time. People get ridiculously annoyed at me for actually obeying the law. Pricks.

People saying "nitch" instead of "niche".
Whenever I'm watching a film or TV and someone just hangs up the phone and doesn't say bye first. It happens a lot and it bugs me.

Even better is when the phone is ringing, and the person being called just stares at it for a very long time.

I don't really answer the phone. If it rings enough and my secretary is out I let it go to message. If it is important enough you leave a message and if you know me well enough you say 'pick up the phone' and there you go, you've got a conversation!

Inane complaints on forums (especially here, especially right now about Dawnguard DLC). Bad spelling. Saying things like: "Me and my friend," when it's supposed to be "My friend and I," and bad grammar in general.

Merged cells in Excel.

Aligning everything center.

Adding 15 rows to the top of a spreadsheet so you can give it a big fancy title. Oohh, oh that makes me so f'ng angry. But not as much as...

... inserting a blank column A, just to have some white space on the left. STOP. THE. GOD. DAMNED. MADNESS!

A-holes on the highway who drive 95mph to get in front of me and then drop down to 70 and I have no way around because my next pet peeve is just over in the next lane...

... big rigs.

People who talk on cellphones while driving.

People who text while driving. Really, doing anything other than driving when you're behind the wheel of a car is a huge pet peeve of mine.

Pet peeves.

And a million other stupid little things irritate me too.

Stemming from that and maybe it is part of the modern age but when I meet friends on the rare occasion they are always tweeting and face-booking on their moogles or whatever phone thing they use. It's like 'oh... well we've not seen each other for a month... but... your checking facebook as I talk to you? oh okay... shall I let you finish that and actually talk to me now or am I boring you? why don't we do this another time?' that's my thoughts I would never actually say that.

But you love it when the kitchen light is on at 4:00 AM.

No. Nothing more awful than waking up and seeing a light has been left on. In any room. *eye twitch*

In my experience with roommates I find that only two things really annoy me.

1. People who don't bathe every day. Shower, bath, jump in the pool, I don't care how but you have to wash yourself like a civilized advlt human being.

2. People who snore. Especially fat people who snore. It's like the weight of all of their disgusting flab is crushing their lungs and suffocating them. Late at night when I'm trying to sleep and fatigue wears thin my politeness the sound of snoring sends me into a rage.

As an aside I find that the use of headphones wherever and whenever possible is a common courtesy when living in close proximity to other people. I don't want to hear your [censored], and you don't want to hear mine. And my speakers are louder than yours, so you do not want to get into a http://www.hongfire.com/cg/data/25/caramelldansen.swf with me.

And I have grown a phobia to entering my shower, what with the whole... SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEK from the horker. I tend to take showers once or twice a week now, because I have this idea in my head that what has been done in there makes the tub very unsanitary.

Calling a toilet "the bathroom" is there a bath in it? No. ...No there is not. It can not therefore be a "bathroom".

For some reason, I actually hate saying the word "sir". I am lucky that my boss at works lets us call him by his name :teehee:

Other drivers: drivers who don't indicate; drivers who fail to stop at give way signs; drivers who tailgate; drivers who tailgate and never overtake even when it's safe to do so; drivers who drive at 30mph in a 60 limit; drivers who drive at 60mph in a 30 limit; drivers who drive at 40mph regardless of the speed limit; drivers driving cars with knackered exhaust silencers or worn-out engines; drivers who are using the road when I want it to myself, the inconsiderate bastards.

Idiots neighbors and those who drive by in cars with sub-woofers so loud and don't care that everybody may not appreciate their noise as much as they seem to.

People who are afraid of germs.
Ethnic pride (a genetic coincidence is not a skill).
Environmentalism.
People who resemble me way too much.

Argh, SO this! I don't have a smart phone and don't feel the need to have one so maybe I just "dont get it". But FB is something I do when I don't have anything else going on... when I'm with someone, I realize how insanely RUDE it is to have your face glued to your freaking phone. I feel this way about people who walk around stores yaking on and on with a phone attached to their head and people in restaraunts who are too busy playing with their phones to talk to their company. (It's not even me and the rudeness bugs me!)

Calling a toilet "the bathroom" is there a bath in it? No. ...No there is not. It can not therefore be a "bathroom".
Um... Is that a UK thing? Because I do have a tub in both of my bathrooms... (and yes, it shares the space with a toilet).

Edit: Or do you mean in public?

The sound of metal clashing while one is dining. There is nothing worse than hearing someone's fork and knife/spoon/plate scratch against one another.
My ex was terrible about doing this when she ate cereal. It sounded like she was hitting the bowl as hard as she could with the spoon, over and over. That really irritated me.

Our upstairs toilet/bathroom (generally referred to by what I'm doing! That suddenly seems rather explicit...) has both, but the downstairs toilet just has a toilet in it. Some houses have them in separate rooms, though that generally means that you have two rooms that are a bit cramped. Of course the first house I lived in had neither: the toilet was at the bottom of the back yard ("yard" meaning the concrete-floored variety, not a garden) and the bath was a metal thing hanging on the wall of the scullery.
