This post was originally published in May 2005, but a lot of these peeves are still relevant for me today. The asterisked peeves denotes new additions *g*
People who say ‘It’s not the winning that counts, but the taking part”. What a crock of shit. Nobody remembers who came second, guys. We British are especially good at patting losers on the head, and rewarding them for coming last. This may be the reason why our athletes never win shit (except maybe rowing competitions).
Old People who still drive even though they can barely walk or speak. They cut you up, and blithely drive on, never bothering to check the mirror, to see the ten- car pile up they just caused behind them.
McDonalds’ staff who have really bad acne. (don’t they all?) Ever heard of Clearasil? Yes? Well use it for Christ’s sake!!
Bleeding Heart Liberals and Tree Huggers. I know you mean well, but damn it, I will buy make up that’s probably been animal tested, I refuse to eat tofu and houmous, just because you say I should. I will probably not buy dolphin friendly tuna, just because it doesn’t occur to me to check the label.
I will keep buying products in packages that aren’t necessarily biodegradable, I will wash my hair with that environmentally unfriendly shampoo, just because I want to avoid getting head lice, I refuse to wear tie-died clothes in order to prove that I don’t care about how I look, the fact is that I do care, and if you were to come down from your tree for long enough to have a shower, you too would recognise the usefulness of high alkaline soap.
I’m still annoyed that I now buy nothing but free range eggs, just because I saw a programme on TV about the treatment of caged hens. I have a high guilt trigger factor, and damn it all, you lot are ruining everything I used to enjoy and take for granted, so quit lecturing me already!
Pro-Life campaigners. Everybody is entitled to their opinion on abortions, but geez, did ya have to set fire to that abortion clinic in protest? Do you realise that one of the doctors who was there at the time was seriously injured? Does this convince me that you people are passionate about your cause, or am I really left with the impression that y’all are nothing but savage animals, who just want an excuse to cause mayhem? Let’s hope that you are never raped, and impregnated by your assailant, and end up with the difficult task of having to choose whether to keep the baby or not.
Jude Law. A more irritating man, I have yet to come across, highly over-rated and as far as I’m concerned, his movie ‘Alfie’, proved it. I tend to avoid all his films now, no matter who the co-stars are.
Disabled parking spots. Have you noticed that the amount of disabled parking slots are increasing in numbers? The problem isn’t the parking slots themselves, it’s the fact that for the majority of the day these spaces will remain empty, whilst you drive round town like a lunatic trying to park and avoid the onslaught of road rage.
Grown women who use phrases like “hugs to my bestest pal!” ‘Nuff said.
People who say stupid things. I’ll come home from having been to the local supermarket, and my lovely next door neighbour will look at the legions of shopping bags and ask me if I’ve been shopping. Need I say more?
Pigeons. I hate them. What use are they? They mess up your newly washed car, they shit on your freshly laundered clothes, and they converge in the road knowing that you are unlikely to ever run them over (oh but I have been tempted…) They’re really nothing more than flying rats, Yech!
Oscar Nominations for films, I have neither heard of nor seen. When I eventaully get round to watching them, I’m always left wondering how I managed to miss the utter brilliance of said film.
Group list members waxing lyrical about authors they’ve met once. Why can’t they just say, this author is fabulous and leave it at that? Wax lyrical about their books all you like, cuz, this is really the reason why you love them so much. Don’t tell me that this person has an “inner beauty that’s there for the world to see” You don’t know shit about them, and let’s face it, after one meeting, the likelihood is that you still wont have a clue what they’re really like.
People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks! that’s an image I really didn’t need.
Jehovah’s Witnesses – (At the risk of offending many people out there) Do I really want to buy your Watch Tower, and hear you tell me that if your son/daughter was dying, you wouldn’t let her have a blood transfusion that could save her life because it’s against your religion? Is this likely to make me want to join your cult? Don’t come to my door, wearing an out of season trench coat, that you’ve had for years, and are just too tight to buy another. By all means do what you need to do, but stay the fuck away from my doorstep whilst you’re doing it!
People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually. Couch potato much?
Sales people and catalogue promoters in department stores: Have you noticed how they always seem to target you as you’re walking past? There were huggings of people who they just watched walk by, and so you feel relatively secure that they wont stop you, but no, they somehow seem to know that you have a High Sucker Factor, and are very likely to stop and answer their ridiculous surveys, or at the very least listen to what they have to say before you very politely tell them no.
Women who use public bathrooms and don’t flush the toilet (or wash their hands)… this is so gross… I go into the ladies’ and I have to pass over 5 or 6 cubicles because 3 are not flushed… one is out of paper… and the others don’t have locks… and I know this is not just a few choice toilets… it’s everywhere,… don’t get me started on the ventilation systems either…
Miss World contests. Bring back the days when we used to be able to laugh at the fact that they loved children and small animals, and wanted to save the world one false nail at a time. Nowadays, all of them are either brain surgeons or scientists, where’s the fun in that?
People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”…… Didn’t really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
*Keira Knightley. She irritates the shit out of me. The media have fooled people into believing she’s a better actor than she actually is. I find her one-dimensional, stilted and awkward, and not at all sexy. She’s the female version of Hugh Grant, and who the hell needs that?
*Boris Johnson. Please dude, can you at least look as if you’ve had a wash, and put a comb through your hair?
*J.W. Mckenna. After all these years, The Darkest Hour is still the worst erotic romance I’ve ever read. A woman getting beaten to within an inch of her life everyday, by her kidnapper is not sexy or romantic, and I’ll never understand why Elloras Cave thought it was a good idea to publish it.
*The British weather. Conclusive proof that there is no god.
Now, your turn, what are your pet peeves?

You hit on most of mine, except I am not fond of animal testing, too much empathy for the animals, who don’t get to choose whether or not to be a test subject and be recompensed accordingly.
I hate people who insist I must recycle or I’ll be cosmically punished. OK, I thought that had already happened, when I moved in next door to a full blown, spell casting witch. You mean there’s more in store from the universe, just because I toss that plastic Diet Coke bottle in the trash rather a recycle bin?
People who drive in the left lane on the interstate (motorway, autobahn to non-Americans), and go precisely 55 while they motor along, unaware of their own personal stau building up behind them. I think I hate those people most of all, I want to flash signs that say get your ass back in the right lane, this lane is for passing!
People who flash their lights to signal their impatience with your presence ahead of them. Hey asshole, I’m passing that geezer, I’ll move over when I’m clear of his battleship.
Which leads to next peeve – why DO old people drive such huge cars? Do they think all that steel will protect them when they run up the tailpipe of the monster truck ahead of them?
Parents who allow their children to run wild in public, especially restaurants. I think especially evil thoughts about those parents as my hopefully quiet dinner with spouse is ruined by some five year old throwing french fries as his parents blithely ignore him.
Restaurant patrons labeled “guests” – well, excuse me, but if I’m a guest, why am I paying?
People who tell me I’m an idiot when I tell them Hugh Laurie is British. Since I’d jump Hugh Laurie’s bones in a heartbeat, I am quite certain of his origins, thank you.
Cheaters in the Tour de France. Jan Ullrich broke my heart.
And my all time favorite – know it alls. I do so love disillusioning them whenever possible, which is rare, but it happens. Know it alls make me want to pound my precious head against the nearest tree (which of course I’ll then hug to apologize for inflicting pain upon it).
Oh wait, there is one more – the bratty children who sneak into my yard to pick my flowers. I’ve finally taken to letting one of my dogs (the one we dubbed Tom the Terrorist, because he scares the bejesus out of people, he’s huge and he barks like he’s going to take your leg off at the hip, but he’s harmless other than the fear factor) loose on them when I see them in my yard. Since I know he won’t bite, that he’s merely saying hello in his own special way, it’s a very effective rotten child repellent. Not sure what it says about me, though, however, I take great pleasure in my flowers and nothing pisses me off more than seeing my roses (or tulips, or daffodils, or whatever) broken off and taken.

Acne is nothing. I once witnessed a Maccas employee with a cold, wiping down trays, sneezing, puttin on the paper mat, sneezing, wiping down trays, etc.
Yes! in regards to Keira Knightley. It’s not that she’s a bad actress per se, it’s just that I don’t think her range is all that great.
British weather might well just be God taking the piss. Heh.

I’m with you on the older drivers.
People who drive the speed limit. It’s really only meant as a guide.
Trucks in the city – and even worse when it’s two lanes and there are trucks in both of them driving the same speed and you can’t pass them – even worse still, when they are stopped at a red light. Those buggers take forever to gear up on the green.
People who quote the phrase “if you can’t say something nice….”

Kristie, believe me, if trucks could avoid driving in cities, we would. We hate red lights as much as you, because it takes us forever to get back up to speed.
And, the speed limit is the law, not a suggestion. I tend to drive it, but my truck is governed out at 62, so I can go no faster. And in my car, it saves fuel.
My pet peeves:
People who pass on the right shoulder.
Those who make right turns from the middle and left-hand lanes.
The way aloe vera is put into all skin products. My kids are allergic!
When people set a meeting place and time and then move it without telling me.
Holes in my socks.
Sour milk.

Cell phone users!
Not all mind you, but those annoying twits who seem to have the darn things permanently attached to their ears. Even Linus puts his blanket down on occasion.
Seriously! What did these idiots do before the invention of these infernal gagdgets?
As if grocery shopping isn’t a misery in and of itself, now we are faced people blocking the aisles as they read off every brand of bean to the invisible person on the other end. Or, who decides it’s a good time to chat while at the register with a line of people ten deep behind them.
And don’t even get me started on those who attempt to drive while chatting. Gads. Wrecks waiting to happen.
Whenever my hubby’s friends visit, it’s a phone fest. I’ll look out and see him standing around as one and often two or more are all chatting or texting at the same time. And the dorks wonder why it takes so long to play a game of darts or horseshoes!
I mean seriously. I have never in my life needed to speak with my husband on the phone every twenty minutes. In fact, doing so would probably set my teeth on edge. LOL Add in their children and their friends, and passing back and forth jokes and videos and what not, and it’s non-stop phoning.
Hopefully this rant was coherent. The topic sets me foaming at the mouth.

Yes! Yes! Yes! on the cell phones. What makes me craziest is seeing people in a restaurant and one of them is chatting into a cell phone while the others are sitting there like lumps. Eeek! Cell phones were meant to connect you to people, not disconnect you from the person right there!
The speed limit is the law. I hate speeders. When it says 60 and you’re going 80, you’re jeopardizing people’s lives. And I am a snarky bitch who will box people in on the road and force them to do the limit whenever possible. I may go to hell for it but I just don’t care. Speeding is bad.
And I despise people who think it’s okay to touch children they don’t know. Get your freaking hands away from my child Mister before I cut them off. Thank you and have a nice day.

Don’t ever visit Germany, Lori. As an autobahn trained driver of one mean, sleek, superior, made in Munich machine, I find driving over here to be frustrating beyond words. Not only will my car corner like a hooker on the run from the cops, stop faster than a three year old reaching for that heirloom when Mom screams stop, and handle like an erotic dream with Hugh Laurie, my personal driving skills are such that I’ve never had a ticket, never had a wreck, never came close to any such thing and trust me, I take US speed limits as a personal affront, although I try to behave myself, even when “cash” (my car’s name) is pleading – no one on the road, Springsteen in the CD player, c’mon, let’s go! Poor Cash was born and raised in Germany, sigh. I will say if you’re going around boxing people in, you’re asking to be a victim of a nasty case of road rage (not from me, I’ll just skillfully find an opening and leave you in the dust, politely of course) – there are a lot of crazies out there who don’t take too kindly to those who would impose their will on the highway (unless there’s a light bar and sirens on the offending car). Good luck with your policy, though, I’m sure you’re well intentioned. I’d just hate to see someone hurt you because you thought you were doing the right thing. TPA

Even in a tiny country like New Zealand each kilometre of extra average traffic speed is 100 more people dying on the road that year. Is the answer to shrug and conform? I think it is to ticket and fine.

There’s a reason why there’s signs along the interstate that say slower cars stay on the right. Just saying.
A car stubbornly staying at the speed limit or below it on the right is just disrupting the flow of traffic, thus an annoyance.

LOL@corner like a hooker!!!!
OMG I second and third the cell phone–I really don’t want to hear your conversation while I’m grocery shopping and I think it’s really rude to chat it up while checking out. Hang the fuck up already!
People who act like they’re all that and a bag of baby carrots when they’re not.
People who don’t take responsibility for their actions.
Self-important people–probably goes back to #1 but *shrugs*
Needy people, manipulative people, people who can’t accept responsibility for their actions.
Slow asshats in the fast lane.
Uh people–kidding….sorta.
Dirty bathrooms.
Having to tell my children more than once to clean their dirty bathroom. I don’t care if I never walk to that end of the house, it still needs to be cleaned.
Having to tell my child to walk/feed/care for his dog.
Having to walk/feed/care for my child’s dog–it’s not my dog. I like it. But I’m a cat person in part because they’re not needy (See previously mentioned aversion to needy people). You just throw some food down, pet em every now and again and go on about your business. Yes, the litter box sucks but dogsh*t in the yard sucks worse.
Self-righteous prigs who feel they have the right to make moral decisions for other people.

A funny story about a Jehovah’s Witness visitation
My friend’s mother had Alzheimers, and they kept coming to the house and frightening her with threats of going to hell if she didn’t join them.
My friend was home one night and answered the door. They asked “Are you certain that you are going to heaven?”
The friend is the type who pulls no punches, so she responded with, “No, and neither are you because the Jews are the chosen ones. So grab your suntan lotion and I’ll see you in hell.”
They never went back.

Cell phones – yikes. I hate it when people are so busy yacking it up with their pal on the cell phone that they can’t even steer the bleeping shopping cart.
Maybe this is when I should admit that, when sufficiently irritated, I start “participating” in their conversation – loudly. I’m a B***H, I know.
Worst pet peeve – misbehaving children. No I don’t want to listen to your child have a temper tantrum you are “waiting out” while eating, causing the entire dining room of people to cover their ears instead.
No, I don’t appreciate being run over or losing toes to your children as they zoom around a shop in wheeled shoes.
Take control, be a PARENT, dammit.

Holy cow!…I think I must piss a lot of people off and go blithely on my way. I use my cell phone, sometimes while shopping. But, it isn’t glued to my ear.
I hate it when 3rd/4th/5th graders HAVE cell phones.
I hate people who makes recreational sports into serious win/lose shit. I’m sorry, it may be a bad call, but you have no right to beat the shit out of the ump/ref (whatever he’s called). Nor should you ALWAYS blame the ump/ref/other team/God or Santa Claus if you lose…sometimes dammit the other team played better. I see a lot of kids who can’t take blame for any damn thing and I think some of it starts w/sports parents.
Sam…

I agree with you on the sports thing, Sam. I went to a nephew’s soccer game one day last year and could not believe the hateful language some of the parents screamed at not just the other team and coaches, but at their own kids. All in the name of “encouragement” of course..cough, cough…bull-twit..
It amuses me anytime my friends’ young kids do the begging for a cell phone. We got along fine without them, though I can see they might be a good thing for a kid to carry if he’s out at the movies or something. Its adult DRIVERS gabbing on the things that I hate. Keep your eyes on the road, people, and the cell phones for emergencies.

I hate them too since a speeder (doing 90 in a 55) is the reason my father-in-law is no longer with us. And also the reason I was almost a single mother of a 1 year old at age 25 since my husband was with my father-in-law. My husband spent 2 weeks in a trauma hospital and doesn’t remember the wreck. He’s eat up with arthritis too…but anyway, the one speeding? Killed him too.
Another peeve of mine is people talking during a movie. If you’re gonna talk why not wait ’til the thing comes out on DVD and watch it at home? I mean really.
I’ve also stopped going to school ball games. I’ve been to games and have seen some kids giving it everything they have. You can tell by watching them that they are doing the best they can, it’s just that some on the other team are better. But does that stop the coach from getting all up in the kid’s face screaming at them to do better? Nope. I wish they’d try to get in mine and scream like that. 😀 To me, all that’s teaching them is that it’s ok to scream and yell at someone younger/smaller than them. *shrug*

GAH! Why did you get me started?
* The multitudinous ways drivers can be shitty could take up a whole blog. In addition to what you’ve all mentioned, in rural areas it’s the drivers of farm trucks and equipment who make people murderous. They’ll see you coming, pull out of a driveway or side road right in front of you, and proceed to go one quarter of the speed limit (while they’re usually taking up the whole freaking lane and then some).
* My boyfriend’s mother. This I will leave up to your imaginations.
* Costly satellite TV programs that have five minutes of commercials for every three minutes of show.
* Technological advances that leave average peeps eating dust because we can neither afford them nor understand them.
* My boyfriend’s mother.
* People who beatify every bloody human being with whom Heath Ledger was ever associated. I admire Heath Ledger to the skies, but I’m sick to death of adulation being spread over every damned person he ever boinked/starred with/sired/met at a urinal.
* My boyfriend’s mother.
* People who abandon, mistreat and/or abuse animals. This goes WAY beyond a pet peeve. Truly, I could easily torture such creatures unto death without blinking an eye.
* Books that no way, no how deserve rave reviews or large readerships.
* The ignorant, oblivious, excuse-making parents of ill-behaved children.
* The utterly fucked-up American “health care” system.
* The utterly fucked-up American “educational” system.
* Self-righteous, narrow-minded, dogmatically rigid religious fanatics.
* And, finally (you guessed it), my boyfriend’s mother.

Just because this happened to me this morning- the person who sits *right beside you* when you’re in a pretty much empty subway train/bus/waiting room. wtf?
Oh, and the public nose pickers. Yes. I can see you. They’re never stealthy, either. They rummage around right up to the last knuckle, then leisurely roll their findings around betwix forefinger and thumb before casualy flicking the stuff away, OR wiping it off on their clothes. wft?

Oh we have them over here too.
Also add in people who exit the exit ramp onto a highway going as slow as you please.
People who can not drive and talk at the same time, they have to constantly look at the passenger seated next to them as the poke along with not a care in the world.
People who drive while talking on the phone because not everyone can do two things at once.
I think my biggest pet peeve is when waiting on line to purchase an item there is always that person standing in back of you so close that every time you move a way for some personal space they feel the need to follow you into your “space” almost like a two-step dance.

The weather. More precisely, the local news that seems to think “it’s hot outside” is the top story of the day. Newsflash, people. It’s summer. It’s ALWAYS hot this time of year. No, really. Look it up. And it’ll happen again next year, too. (unless you live south of the equator, then please be so kind as to reverse my complaint to conform to your weather.)
People with cell phones who think that just because they call me at home I’m obliged to drop everything and listen to what they just saw. Look, just because you’re in your car and bored does not mean that I have to stop what I’m doing and provide you with entertainment.

Non-smokers and their kids. Look, I realize that as a smoker, I’m just one step up the evolutionary ladder from a cockroach, and that only because the exploitatively high taxes on my dirty little habit contribute to society. But when I’m huddling miserably in the rain or heat, sitting practically on top of the ashtray placed the requisite fifty feet from the door and refraining from exhaling, no matter the burn in my lungs, whenever someone has to pass by the immediate area, and some little fucker walks by and starts to cough and gag loudly, all the while sneaking sidelong glares to make sure I know I’m personally responsible for the lung cancer he’s going to develop when he’s 40, with his soccer mom in tow either ignoring it or giving me the same dirty looks as her spawn or agreeing enthusiastically with his D.A.R.E.-inspired lectures on the evils of smoking and what it does to his fragile little aveoli, it makes me want to put my cigarette out right then and there-in the little brat’s eyeball. Smoking is bad, and all kids should hate it and never start. But being an obnoxious little twat about it, or allowing your kids to do so, knocks you several plateaus down the moral high ground.

cell phone users who ignore their little kids who are trying to have a CONVERSATION with them (how dare they)-eye contact and communication with your kids is important people 🙂
People who use disabled parking spaces without a badge because they just have to pop into Tescos for a head of lettuce. It’s no fun lugging a 4 year old with cerebral palsy across the car park in the pouring rain because you can’t park or get a wheelchair out in the narrower spaces-trust me.

*People who decide to file bankruptcy, but first charge their credit cards to the max. If they’re going to get it for free, they want it ALL for free.
*Smokers who drop cigarette butts to the ground, or put them in planters, when the large ashcan is only 10 steps away!
*Co-workers who complain loudly for hours that “no one covered my work” when they were out/on vacation/sick, all the while getting more behind because they’re b*tching, not working.
*People who use handicapped parking because they drive their parent/spouse/injured child around. Where I work, the handicapped parking has doubled, tripled, quadrupled. And yet I never see anyone get out of those cars with crutches or wheelchairs or even one of those walking casts! I know there are illnesses/conditions that are not obvious to a casual observer, but there are just too many of them for me to believe that all have congestive heart disease or something!
Oh, and for those of you who have enjoyed having phone conversations in the stall beside you at a work or other public restroom? Flush. And flush. And flush. They eventually get annoyed and hang up.

My ultimate pet peeve is people pronouncing the letter ‘h’ incorrectly. It’s “aitch” not “haitch” dammit. Drives me effing bonkers. And it’s really difficult to not correct them like I do with my daughter. I’ve developed a twitch every time I hear “haitch”.
And when you slow down to let someone out of a side street onto the main road (and into the flow of traffic) – why are they looking at the cars coming in the opposite direction? Or when you signal them to go, they sit and stare at you or they’re too busy fluffing their hair to pay attention. Just disturbs my karma.

I don’t smoke but that is just wrong for people to do…I am extremely sensitive to cig. smoke and it does make me cough, but I’m weird and try to hold the cough until I’m away from the smoker~why make them feel bad? Oh, unless they blow it into my face or they are sitting right behind me on the bleachers at my kid’s baseball game and are blowing it into my hair, then I’ll hack away because that is a pet peeve of mine. I have no problem with people smoking, just don’t make me do it too LOL
