*Squeezing the toothpaste in the middle instead of working it up from the bottom
*Public speakers with a wad of gum in their mouth
*Anyone speaking with a wad of gum in their mouth!
*Too-full refrigerators (I start to stress about penicillin growing in the containers toward the back!)
*Adults who tack on "Okay?" after every sentence they speak to children.....Who's in charge, them or you? Stop asking their permission every time you are supposedly giving them directions! If you're telling them to pick up their rooms, or to ask for something nicely, and you add "Okay" at the end, they're probably thinking "No, it's not OK!" ---Replace that phrase with "Do you understand?" or "Got it?"
*Waiting in line at the customer service counter for 20 minutes while everyone ahead of me is trying to cash a check without proper ID, or cashing in their $2 lotto tickets and staring in the counter window to pick out the next one(s) to waste their money on, or buying cigarettes. Wish they had a customer service counter JUST for lottery ticket and cigarette buyers, so the rest of us who AREN'T wasting their money could conduct our business and be gone!
Huh...look at that. Apparently pet peeves bring out a grouchy streak in me! But then, maybe that's the definition of a pet peeve. :b
