Warning - do not use the toliet at my house. We have not been able to leave the toliet paper on the roll since George came to us six years ago. He has TP radar and will "search and destroy" every single time.
You did bring up a couple of small things that still bother me. One thing that drives me crazy is to hear someone clipping their toenails/fingernails. I don't know why. Another thing that drives me crazy - people leave their dirty coffee cups, etc. in the sink at work. I always send out a nasty email telling them they have 2 hours to get it cleaned out or I'm pitching what's in the sink.
Vicky who works with him has to get up and leave when he does it and come into mine until he's finished because she hates it!. She said not only is it the sound of them being clipped but he lets them fly all over their office floor!
That's funny because I can't stand it when people at work wash my coffee cup. I drink black coffee, so there's always a stain in the cup. Once it's washed, it ends up on a technician's truck. If I keep it stained, I get to drink out of my own cup!
I'm noticing a lot of us women are peeved by the men in our lives...
I've got another one: In the entire time we have lived together (about a year and a half), my bf has never once emptied the wastebasket in the bathroom. I am the only one who does it. Sometimes I leave it to see if he will eventually get the hint and JUST ONCE take it out. Nope. He will just balance stuff on the top until the lid won't close, and then he'll either leave stuff on the edge of the sink (like the empty toilet paper tubes) or walk it out to the can in the kitchen. ::censor::censor::censor::

Grrrrr Stefanie when i lived with my husband he used to do both of those as well!.
He once had an empty glass by the bed and i left it there wondering if he would take it downstairs?!.
Two weeks later it was still there!. It used to really churn me up when i used to vacuum seeing it still there that i took it down myself in the end
Oh and another one!. He would never rinse around the sink after he'd been shaved!

I'm glad to see it's a bit of a male thing and not just hubby! It is apparently just too hard to lift the garbage bag out of the can when it's full.Originally Posted by mamacat

Ok this is gonna sound stupid, but I hate it when the table isn't set right especially at restruants (I can't spell.). The knife and spoon on the right and fork on the left, and yes I have been known to reset my place setting.
Guests at my home drinking out of a glass and then just leaving it where ever when they leave. It's like a savanger hunt after some people leave trying to find their glass.

That reminds me... I hate it when the fork has a piece of leftover dried rice stuck in between the tines.
A peeve of mine--when people come to dinner at my house and reset their place setting.
when people leave a big huge puddle of ketchup on a plate and don't rinse it off and leave it in the sink.. ew. or even when people leave food on a plate and put it in the sink.
I get irritated at people in the super market parking lot(such as Walmart) who will block the driving isle while they wait for someone to load their groceries in their car so they can get their spot,,,WHEN THERE IS AN AVAILABLE SPOT 2 SPACES DOWN!!!! Aargh!
And people at crowded places such as clubs or college halls or stores who will see someone and just stop to talk to them and block other peoples way.
AND DEFINATELY...the balancing act on the trash can when its full drives me ABSOLUTELY bonkers!!!!!

Hmmm... Tigger doesn't like to be scratched right by his tail (although he's starting to let people do so because he's undergoing a change in since he moved in with us) Laptop doesn't like to have his feet rubbed, Charlie doesn't like to have the stump of his amputated leg scratched to heavyily, Shadow Ram doesn't like to be kissed on the lips... gets aggravated and pouts, Sunshine the cockateil doesn't like her back scratched. The dogs don't like to be squirted with a water hose....
Oh wait... you were talking about MY peeves....
hmmmm
my step son and wife burp/belch and say excuse me. Constantly.....

When I'm on the phone and my hubby walks in he asks who I'm talking to and I whisper it to him. When he's on the phone and I ask who he's talking to he waves me away and waits to tell me when he's finished!
My sisiters and I have burping contest and rate them on longetivity and depth!
Hmmm, I wouldn't say this is just a male thing. My wife is the one who leaves the clutter around (will open junk mail and set it on the counter even though the trash can is 2 feet away. If I don't throw it out, it would stay there forever.) I love her to pieces, but I wish she would pick up after herself. The trash would never get empty unless I do it. I would say we are all guilty of these things, except me, I am purrrrrrfect.Originally Posted by valanhb

Ooooo! Ooooo! I know one! See - I thought I was mellow, but I'm not! I cannot stand it when people get freaked out about pet hair on them. I think if you spend 15 minutes in my office using the lint brush because of a little cat hair, IMO, you have OCD.
I am the same as your wife - hubby is the neat freak around here. I am not so neatOriginally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat

I hate it when people at work have a cold and blow their nose, and don't wash their hands afterwards.
My woman used to have a desk with a computer on it, now there is a computer on a big pile of mail and papers.. no idea what happened to the desk.Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat

I still cant figure out why she leaves boxes from making dinner on the counter since they are empty.. or cups with a couple sips of drink in the living room.. or laundry all over the bedroom and bathroom but she is getting better after many many years of nagging on my part. I hope one day to get her fully trained, but some things are easier said then done.
