2AdefenderPeople who cross the street while looking down at their cell phones the entire time. People who drive while looking at their cell phones the entire time. Families who are having dinner together, and all of them are looking down at their cell phones the entire time.
Going into a restaurant, and all the beer they have is Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella or some other watered down crap.

tatortoddCell phone addicts. Can't put it down to walk through a parking lot, walk across a street, drive, pay attention to the kids, pay attention to their dogs in public, etc.
Corporate buzzword bandits. Living breathing walking stereotypes that use lots of words but says absolutely nothing. Every meeting they attend is longer than it needs to be and they constantly want to interrupt productive work for their nonsense.

12131“Influencer”. I never thought there’s a term I despise more than “Like” (you know, the f***book original), but man, if I read “influencer” one more time, I’ll pull all my hair out. Thank God, I’m a head shaver.

Sorry, but I'm going to walk the way I walk across a crosswalk at the pace I'm walking. If I could pick up my pace more then I would have picked up my pace more.
And when I'm waiting for a person to cross, I even hold up my hand to signal "take your time." The last thing I want is someone to hurry up and trip in front of me.
Other than that, I have no pet peeves. I'm an asymptomatic carrier of pet peeves.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

GustoferMine are mostly speech oriented. Folks who begin sentences with, "I mean", any and all use of the phrase, "I know...right?" (with the requisite upward inflection), glottal stops, and of course vocal fry.

It’s situational. I think Chongo is referring to situations where people stop when there is no one to yield to which happens all the time at the rounds about my county in FL put in.
The flip side is the people that don’t realize yield does mean stop when there’s someone to yield to which also happens all the time at the round abouts as well as the interstate on ramps.
None of my peeves are special enough to me specifically to be pet peeves.
