What is your biggest pet peeve?
What's that one thing that drives you up the wall? I cannot stand smacking or loud obnoxious noises made when someone eats. It will get me from 1 to 10 on the annoyance scale in no time at all! I wish I didn't notice it though:(
Ha... same pet peeve here... I don't like smacking or anything of that nature... it is annoying to me and makes me feel really uncomfortable for some reason.
Soap box religious speakers, can't I just walk down the street in peace!
I agree with the three of you as well.
I also dont like when I just finished doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen and here come the kids (teenagers) and my husband wanting snacks, they eat drink and -BAM- dishes are left in sink, you see crumbs and the counter feels sticky, just a mess. No one knows who did what. Its always, "It wasn't me!".
When hubby has a can of soda and when he is done he leaves it on the counter instead of just throwing the can in the recycle bin.
This just makes me feel like I have 4 children instead of three.
Prejudices. Especially people who are prejudiced and intolerant yet somehow think they are entitled to people being tolerant about there opinions.
People who promote themselves as christians, ministers, enlightened or righteous, all the while lying and stealing, cursing and squashing others under their pointy church shoes
People chewing with their mouth open, or mouth noises other than speech in general. The mouth is without a doubt the most disgusting part of the human body, and if I have to hear one more person popping their gum, chewing with their mouth open, or god forbid SPITTING ON THE SIDEWALK, I will lose my mind.
People who smoke in the car without rolling down the window. And then if you ask them to roll it down they get an attitude because you don't like cigarette smoke.

There is the ubiquitous "theres" vs. theirs," but it also irks me when people say "I could care less" when they really mean they COULDN'T care less about something.

How do you stop yourself from smacking your teenage daughter in the mouth?You can ask in a polite manner for help with the most simple of chores as dishes or laundry. Yet you will get a response that just makes you picture yourself flying across the room like a mad woman and "SMACKING"...
