People who don't use their turn signals. Bad grammar. People who click a pen over and over and over and over and don't even notice how completely irritating the sound is and along with that, people who drum their fingernails on the table. Songs that have really slow, soft lead-ins to the actual intros and then the intros themselves last forever. I could go on and on, but those are just a few.
Something that really bothers me is when I'm driving in the winter and see people who don't bother to brush the snow off their windows or scrap the ice/frost off either. I see those cars coming towards me and wonder how in the world they can see and don't they care about their safety or the safety of others.

Being late! I absolutely hate being late to anything. I'd rather be 5 minutes early, where my husband slides in right at the last minute or a couple minutes late. Drives me nuts!
I cannot stand when someone's nose is whistling and they don't notice it!! And heavy breathers, people who chew gum like a cow, when someone says "alls" instead of "all", trash 2 feet from a trash can, and people that think that everyone around them needs to be PC at all times.
"Always be yourself, because the people that mind don't matter and the people that matter don't mind."
Ditto on the whistling noses and heavy breathers!!!! YUCK!!

Chewing with an open mouth. I am constantly saying, "close your mouth when you chew!" When my kids drop something on the floor, or wherever, and then leave it there. Did they hire a personal maid and forget to inform me? Is a magical fairy going to start cleaning around here? Leaving to door open. I am not melting the snow on the walk with my gas bill.
Holy cow, I sound just like my mother, which is another pet peeve!
Bad drivers make me insane, and South Dakota, Sioux Falls especially, is full of them. So, I'm pretty much insane all the time. Ha! It also drives me nuts when people leave cupboard doors open and leave the time on the microwave instead of pushing the Clear button when they're done. Close-minded people also drive me nuts, sometimes more so than bad drivers. Man, no wonder I feel annoyed all the time. :)
Gum snappers and people that clip their nails in public drive me bonkers. The clipping sound and the fact that I know their gross nails are flying all over the place makes me want to vomit.
Oh, I know! There's a couple guys at work who sit at their desks and clip their nails. I can hear it for miles!! Hello? You can't step into the restroom and do that at the sink????
The Cake goddess - Cakes for all occasions, desserts and cookies, too!
There is a doctor where I work who does the nail clipping thing. Every Monday. Clip clip clip clip. It's so gross!
I have to agree with you on the clipping nails, that is one thing that grosses me out!!!
At one of my in-laws funerals, someone was clipping!!! HAHA Couldn't believe it.

Oh that is so beyond tacky!!!!
The Cake goddess - Cakes for all occasions, desserts and cookies, too!
I also hate the nail clipping thing- there is a girl in a bunch of my classes that gets her clipper out in every class- how much could her nails have grown in an hour??
Also, being a mini chested woman, I hate when I say that I would love some more umph to my boobs, and large breasted women laugh and say "you can have some of mine!" drives me nuts.
for me the boob thing goes vice versa--i have the large chest and I hate it when all those with a smaller chest complain. It's not like we can change it without the help of a surgeon! lol Or even worse when all the smaller chested women end up in these bikinis and have nothing to show--no curves at all.
grinding teeth is a big pet peeve--a child at the daycare I work for does this and it is worse than nails on a chalkboard! ugh!!

This is sad/pathetic but here are mine: Towels folded and put away wrong, toilet paper and paper towels put on the rack wrong (over the roll, please), when the dishwasher is loaded not to my standards, people who discipline your children in front of you (and I discipline my kids), people who know everything and tell you about it.
SAHM to 3 Boys!
o my gosh. My biggest one is people driving in a car smoking with kids in there....I'd like to follow them and give them a good talking to. How about the person on a cell phone in line in front of you that isn't listening to a cashier, etc. HANG UP the phone and call after your business. IT SHOULD BE A LAW..........
Oh ya... how about a woman who is very obviously pregnant and smoking.
SAHM to 3 Boys!
Anybody smoking anywhere.

YES! Some guy was walking in front of me in a parking lot and was smoking. I was holding Raina and the smoke was blowing back at us. I wanted to scream at him sooooooo bad!!!! How dare he contaminate my and my babies air!!! Flame me if you want, but I will still say it. That and jerks who throw their lit cigarettes out their car windows or flick their ashes out. Try being on a motorcycle sometime and get ashes flicked at you. JERKS!
I have more.
People who don't buckle their kids in. That really honks me off to see little kids climbing all over in a moving vehicle.
People who honk when you don't go quick enough for them. I'm not gonna dart out into traffic with 3 little kids in my car. I'll go when there is a place and I'm comfortable going. Bite me.
Cuticle chewers. My husband does this. DRIVES ME NUTS!!! Get your hands out of your mouth!
Dirty dishes on counter and an empty dishwasher.
Rude store clerks that act like they're better than you cuz they work at Macy's. Big deal. I done CPR in ditches and saved lives. I don't think I'm better than anyone for it.
I have a lot of pet peeves. Sheesh.
Oh - rude store clerks! I think the ladies at OUAC are so snooty. I just want to yell "you work at a glorified rummage sale!"
Does anyone remember the Beneton store at the mall? The ladies that worked there would just freak out if you dared pull a shirt from their perfectly folded piles.

First of all, I laughed OUT LOUD when I read "honks me off"! Funny! Second, I am in agreement on the people who don't buckle their kids in. Do they think they are untouchable? Indestructible? (sp?) Third, I have to say, I am a honker....but usually only when someone cuts me off or sits there FOREVER....sorry if I've ever honked at you! (lol)

My pet peeve with smoking is a mom holding a baby in one hand a cigarette in the other! One time I was at a gas station and saw a girl standing outside doing just this. I actually asked her if I could hold her baby for her. (Which is another one of mine, when strangers ask to hold a newborn. Like I would hand my 2 month old over to a stranger!) Anyway she did hand me the baby so she could suck on her cancer stick.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE public smoking. Having an asthma/allergy child and having to walk into a place with people smoking by the doors of a business makes me want to throw things. That is my biggest pet peeve, but I wouldn’t call it a stupid one. Some people just don’t think about it.
I also have to agree with people talking like a sailor around kids. Hello?!?!?! A little common sense and common courtesy would be nice.
I have to agree with mom2tlc, I hate when the toliet paper is put on the wrong way (over top)! I know this will probably sound dumb to some people but I get SO grossed out when people blow their nose in public! Nasty, hearing and knowing their gross snot is being blown out, just makes me gag, I just wish people would find a bathroom to go do it in, Yucky! I too HATE it when I see people smoking in a car with kids in the backseat, drives me absolutly bonkers, or the ones where you see the kids who should be buckeled in moving from side to side in the backseat of the car while the parents are in the front with their seat belts on!
*I* am a public nose blower. When there's snot, there's snot.:) I do however, excuse myself from a dinner table if I am in the midst of a nasty cold with copious boogerage. That juicy noise is pretty gross tho.
Oh my gosh...."copious boogerage"! You are really on today!
1st time mommy to our "princess"
I'm glad I could bring some laughter to your day. You should spend an hour at my house, you'd pee your pants laughing. Like when Piper asks me what color her poop is or if there is corn in it.
OMG!!! That is hilarious! I probably would pee my pants!1st time mommy to our "princess"
