I know we've had a bunch of Pet Peeves threads, but those always turn so serious. I thought this would be fun.

What are those little things, things that really don't make a difference in the world but still just drive you nuts?

I hate it when the TP comes from the bottom of the roll, and not over the top. I'll understand it if the person has a cat.
And I REALLY hate it when the TP isn't on the roll at all!

And open cupboard doors. That bugs me too. Even when I'm at friends' homes I'll close the cupboard doors if they aren't getting something out of it.


What are yours?

Oooh I'm totally with you on the TP issue... that gets me too!

I have stupid peeves... if I bought something to eat and I offer it to someone else (my momma raised me right) I want to be the one to have the first bite. I don't like having people write in my planner... their handwriting doesn't match my own. And I hate dumb drivers... even though I can easily become one when I'm in a rush!

LOL! I just had this conversation with my hair dresser last night, and she hates the TP thing, too! It doesn't bother me in the least. I hate being barefoot. I always have socks on or even slippers around the house.

I can't go barefoot either- I hate it when the mailman honks in our driveway. I guess I am remembering the time when they actually walked up to the door, pushed the mail through the mail slot, or if they had packages they rang the doorbell. I miss that!

fun thread!

I hate the labels inside shirts and t-shirts. They always scratch and annoy me and I have to cut them out before I wear anything.

And I really hate it if someone uses all the ice and doesn't refill the ice cube trays!
lol

I hate it when my husband squeezes the toothpaste from the TOP of the tube instead of from the BOTTOM!!

I hate it when people smack their gum or blow bubbles when I'm trying to concentrate.

I hate it when you're walking in a mall or store and the person in front of you is either walking 2 mph or just stops in front of you!!!

My biggest pet peeve is clutter! I don't mind the cat toys lying around, but when things aren't put away or if you open junk mail and don't want it, throw it away, don't leave it sit on the counter. My second pet peeve is when someone is eating and they chew with their mouth open.

Here are my peeves...

When people sqeeze the toothpaste with their fist at he middle or top of the tube, without squeezing from the bottom.

Wet, un-rung-out washrags in the sink, or tub.

Globs of toothpaste in the sink. (for the LOVE OF PETE, rinse it out, ALREADY!!)

Cleaning my floor (carpet or linoleum) and my boys getting it dirty within an hour of finishing.

Open cereal bags inside of the boxes. CLOSE the bag when your done with the cereal, and it wont go stale so fast!!!

People who drive like this... Press on the gas...let off the gas.. press on the gas.. let off the gas... ARRGGGHH!!! (my best friend does this.. drives me nuts!)

When people suck their teeth. Might as well be fingernails on a blackboard as far as I'm concerned.

Oh and when I've just cleaned the apartment and my bf immediately does something to mess it up, like pour the dirty water from his paintbrushes out in the bathroom sink and then not wipe out the basin.

There's no place like home
My biggest pet peeves:

When people drive slow in the left lane (for those outside U.S., the left lane is the fast passing lane).

People who spit

Leaving the toilet seat up

I hate that! The people I work with are especially bad with that. Sometimes I want to ask "What, I'm supposed to read your mind and find out X is gone?"

Another is people who talk All. The. Time. Another co-worker does that, and I've asked him if he's afraid of silence.
