What are some of your pet peeves. Big or Small.

Mine is people not hustling through a crosswalk. It's almost like the intentionally slow down. When i'm in a crosswalk I make sure the driver sees I picked up my walking pace. I even give a courtesy wave usually.

Slow drivers that wake up once you drive around them.

Mother fuckers that walk on the grass, if they wanted you to walk there, it would’ve been paved

Asking me if I wanna donate every time I use my card to pay. “No, BITCH!”

90 degree angles on utensils, I shouldn’t feel like I’m holding a double edged scalpel when I’m trying to cut a pancake. Radius that shit!

The Andrettis passing me for me to be stuck behind them all the way home.

Worthless toilet paper.

I’ll go out and buy a small pack of Charmin Ultra Strong if I’m traveling and the house brand sucks.

And people that think “Yield” means “Stop”.

Everything! Why do you think old people are grumpy?

I have a couple:

1. Left lane loafers. There are even signs in this state that say slower traffic move right. But nope, it's always some oblivious person holding up faster traffic.

2. People who misuse "which begs the question" instead of saying "which raises the question". This pet peeve is orders of magnitude smaller than my 1st pet peeve.

My sister using all my paper towels to dry her hands when she washes them in the kitchen instead of using the clean kitchen towel sitting right there. That, and picking up a clean glass off my dish drying mat, getting a drink of water, then putting the glass she just drank from back with the clean dishes/glasses.

Living in Montana, it's the tourons that flood the area thinking our floofy cows (bison) and other wildlife are domesticated zoo animals.

A grizzly was in the middle of a canola field (beautiful yellow flowers, but it's a cash crop) and there must have been a hundred cars with everyone out stomping around to take pics.

So much trash everywhere.

“I never knew we were millionaires until my wife used 3 paper towels to dry her hands”

People who drive right next to another car so that nobody can pass.

A MLB player that doesn't give 100% on every play. It's a game of inches. You give less than 100% and there's an error yet your still don't succeed because you only gave 85%. This infuriates me.
You're making mega $ and you just phone it in. Screw that.

I have an entire list but ain't nobody got time for dat...

Probably the top 2:

1. People that are turning right, like into a driveway, and come to a complete stop (or very nearly so) IN THE FUCKING ROAD before turning.

2. People that pull out in front of you from a side road - in spite of the fact that there's several hundred yards of clear road behind you - then diddy-bop up the road a couple of hundred feet before turning off. There's a spot I pass several times a week where they turn onto the highway from my right, amble up the road a ways and turn left into a gas station-slash-convenience store. One of these days I'm gonna lose my shit.

People discussing petty irritations.

Groups that slowly walk in line-abreast formation blocking everyone from getting past them. Usually in the airport or other location where people want to get somewhere.

Dog owners who don't put a tag with their phone number on the dog. I find several loose dog every year like that. Either a very out-dated tag or no tag at all.

Drivers looking at their damn phones while driving.

Don’t we have a whole section for this shit?

Pet peeve: people who don’t put threads in the right fucking place on a board.

Folks that think because they wear a mask they can be heard. Today, Walmart, self-checkout lane. Rang up an item and it was more than the shelf tag. Asked the "watcher" for help, she said, "mmmmmmdojkihnf;k". I walked over to her and said, "I can't understand you with that diaper on your face." She ripped it off and said, "it's not a diaper." I said, "calm down Karen -- just help or you can void this out and put this overpriced crap up yourself." She helped.

Humans who can learn anything and everything but make conscious decisions to do wrong/ bad things .

Some good ones already mentioned, but a HUGE one for me is people shooting ( seems especially prevalent among rifle shooters) without eye protection. It is even worse when an adult is mentoring a junior and neither are wearing eye protection.

One jet of hot gas, oil a shard of metal bounce back from a steel target or a blown case, and your life is changed permanently!

I know some people that poo poo eye pro, especially when rifle shooting. But if you make it selective like “ I only wear eye pro for close range steel or xxx situation, you will eventually forget to use it in higher risk situations- the best east answer is to wear it every time to pick up a firearm to shoot.

As a medical professional I have seen many life changing eye injuries that could have been avoided with $3 Chinese safety glasses!
