Pet Peeves That Are So Oddly Specific You Will Feel Compelled To Share Your Own
If you're ever looking for interesting discussions, the subreddit r/AskReddit is always filled with engaging questions. Reddit user u/itsoscilatingagain asked fellow Redditors to share their oddly specific pet peeve. The results were a mixed bag of understandable vexations and downright left-field gripes, and I'm sure they will make you want to comment your own.
1."When people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom."
2."People chewing food and talking at the same time. It drives me insane. My father-in-law used to only talk during dinner if he had food in his mouth, and my mom likes to eat snacks when talking on the phone. Hearing that chewing noise is very cringe."
3."If we are driving at night and you can see my headlights in the distance...I CAN SEE YOUR F*CKING HIGH BEAMS. Turn them off."
4."When my sister grabs my phone instead of hers."
5."People who have paid to go to a concert only watch it on their phones because they're busy filming it."
6."People who grab their cutlery wrong. It irks me."
7."Half-open doors. Toilet seats and lids that aren't closed. Things that aren't put back in the same way someone found them. So basically anything that isn't as I left it."
8."People who use terms like 'ATM machine' or 'PIN number.' It's an ATM or A PIN, not an 'automatic teller machine machine.'"
9."It really irritates me to have sand or pebbles in my shoes."
10."Tailgaters."
11."People who don’t return their shopping cart at the grocery store."
12."Someone talking to me when I have headphones in or am reading. Especially on break at work."
13."When somebody offends you and says, 'No offense.'"
14."Things like heavy breathing, smacking lips, loudly chewing food, clicking pens, tapping fingers, etc."
15."Christmas decorations featuring penguins alongside the usual reindeer and polar bears, etc. They live at the SOUTH pole."
16."People fixated on their phones in public."
17."People in public who walk around while looking down at their phones."
18."Talking to a customer service rep or company person and they break out a 'Hun.' I was on with an alarm dispatcher while all these sensors went off. I'm with global security and she's all, 'What's the zone there, hun?'"
19."People who change lanes without using their blinker. That bothers me more than someone in the turning lane without their blinker."
20."When people play loud music on the bus."
21.And finally, "I cannot stand when you come into the space I'm already in, and when you leave, the door is not closed entirely."
