-I LOATHE eating noises. Since I was little, it has just totally unnerved me when people can't shut their mouths when they are chewing food. Seriously, what the hell are you even doing to the food in your mouth so that it is making that sound? I don't even want to know.

-People invading my personal space (the "Euro-barge," haha!). People do this to me all the time and my theory is it is because I am tiny. There I am, not taking up a ton of room, looking non-threatening, and someone just barges into my space, especially while waiting in a line. I move to re-claim my space, and then the person moves into it again.WTF? I'm at the point where I'll turn toward the person, give them a dirty look and move away again. This works.

-I'm emetophobic and when people say, "you don't like vomiting? Well who does, really? No one likes it." Riiiiiight, but you don't have an anxiety attack and become physically unable to function when it happens around you. Moreover, you could probably eat a freaking cheeseburger while someone does it in front of you.

-Parents who don't know how to control their children. I am with those who believe that it is not necessary that a "whole village" raise a child. No, it takes two parents. Sometimes one. Or a decent guardian. Just try to control your kid if they're bratting.

Gah...Chavs are the root of all evil! I see them down on 16th and I just wanna like, hurt them or something. We have a terrible infestation of Juggalos and Jugalettes around here and every time I see one I am completely disgusted.

Shitty horror rap and cheap soda is not something to base your life upon!

Seriously, I can't stand ICP fans or any of their ilk...they literally make me fucking nauseous! They're usually fat, dress TERRIBLY, often smell just as bad,and are generally annoying as shit. They're my one exception to my "respect everyon you come in contact with" rule cause they just disgust me that much.

And I know I'm a horrible person...that was established long ago.


I know my dear...
Having lived in England, and currently working in a mall in CT that houses a Hot Topic/Spencers store, I too have been exposed to the Chav/Juggalo subculture.
Hold me...

Drama kings and queens
Ripping paper, envelopes, or food packages open. I heart my letter opener.
People that don't take no as NO and badgering.
Rudeness to waitstaff.
Getting hit on outside of the club. I'm so tempted to just mace everyone.
Men who fart and not care.
"Text speak"
Posers
Many random reminders of our degrading society.
Bluetooth headsets
Preachy people
People who tell you what to do without acknowledging there are other options instead of just giving advice.
My ex's aunt was obese and smelled like vagina. In fact her whole house smelled like vagina. I wanted to throw up.
Ignorant people who whisper "black"
Slobbery dogs.
I HATE the word kiddo.

I don't care one way or another on the shoe thing. But I can see someone insisting on it if they have a crawling child or if its a cultural custom (like in Japan). At least you don't have that grandma protective carpet "tape"; now THATS annoying.

ah that reminds me...CARPET is a huge peeve of mine. It makes finding in-expensive apartments harder, but I will not rent an apartment that's got carpet. It's the dirtiest thing on earth--no matter how often you vacuum or steam clean it, there will always be tons of festering dirt, mold, dust and other allergy-stirring particles caked into it. Disgusting! Wood floors all the way.

lust, i hate bluetooth headsets too...they're just annoying on so many levels. it's like you're not james bond, so hold the phone to your head while walking and be a normal person!! maybe i'm easily irritated but all these pet-peeves listed bother me. (hmm, that could be bad considering there's A LOT listed, haha)

Hey Ruby :) I used to work at Starbucks and I remember when bluetooth headsets were just becoming popular. Men would come in and at first I thought they were crazy people just talking to themselves. You can't tell if they're talking to you or to the person on the other line.

Them - "Can I get an Iced Venti blah blah... *maniacal laughter* ...with whipped cream."

Me - *muttering* "GD bluetooth headset"

And I hate hate how people just randomly wear them as an accessory. Dude, it's not even ON.

MOST of my peeves are work related, but EVERYONE here knows those ones.::)

Thought of another one.
Inpatient people in lines who then start acting rude.

I am seriously annoyed by teenagers that are really spoiled and expect everyone else to do everything for them and then don't even appreciate any of what they have.
At least act like you're appreciative and say thank you once in awhile!

I'm also irritated by the parents of these kids for enabling them.

People that walk 5 across in malls. Like wtf, how am I supposed to get around you? And you're giving ME a dirty look?

omg, I hate people who walk like a herd of plodding cows. I just don't have the patience to walk behind them going about a foot per hour. MOVE! >:(

If "excuse me" doesn't work, I just push past them.

Public nose-blowing and people who fail to utilize available contraception and then freak out about a pregnancy like they had no idea that could happen. You have a million options. If nothing else, wrap the motherfucker. What is so hard about that? (yeah, yeah...bc failure. I know. I'm not talking about that.)

I have a new one: groups of hormonally jacked up teens on public transport. As the train was SO freaking packed today I had to spend an hour listening to a group of jerks talk about every chick they banged in great detail, how drunk they were, etc and then they tried it on with me. I told them to fuck riiiight off. Why isn't there a zoo section on the train?

People who make noise in movie theaters. STFU..turn your damn cell phone off..dont check it every 5 minutes so the light from it is glaringly obvious in the dark theater and DO NOT put your feet on my chair.

^^^YES. And if you get so fed up you politely say something to them, they look at you like you have 3 heads and tell you to mind your own business!

OMG. Add both of those things to my list, too. I have never blown my nose in public. Gross! And I have so many friends that do not use birth control and then act shocked when they get knocked up or get someone pregnant. Do they not realize that sex is how babies are made?
My personal favorite is, "But he pulled out!" Sigh.

I KNOW...like I paid $10 a pop plus popcorn,etc to hear YOU blabber away. The WORST was when a guy next to us was TRANSLATING the WHOLE MOVIE to his girl who I guess didnt speak English. Watch it at home when it comes out on DVD if she needs that much help. Or you know...teach her ENGLISH.

Or the obese woman behind us at one film who had one of those little portable hand held fans because even in the frigid theater her 500 pound ass was sweating I guess...so we heard Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr through the WHOLE DAMN MOVIE.

ahhhh...I'm so much happier watching at home for a fraction of the price on DVD most of the time. But there are some..like Dark Knight..that HAS to be seen on the big screen. grrrrrrrrrrr

I HATE the word kiddo.


Yup. I'd alwys hated it but the nail on the coffin was when I was seeing this guy that I was *crazy* about, he'd been giving me the cold shoulder for a while, but I still persisted. Then one day, when I texted him about our plans for hanging out, he texted me back with some lame excuse and "Sorry, Kiddo...." UGH!!! That was all it took to not only make me realize this guy wasn't that into me but it was totally over too. I would never, EVER call someone I was interested in "Kiddo":mad:

I have one word for that^^ "My Super Sweet Sixteen" on MTV. I watched it once and won't dare watch it again for fear of taking my glock and shooting my t.v.. Or hunting down one of the little fuckers an beating the shit out of them.

Haha, there was a kid from my family's town on My Super Sweet 16, let me just say that while this family has money, they have NOWHERE near the amount they made it seem like on TV. My family's house is nicer and in a nicer subdivision and we are nowhere near wealthy! This kid went to HS with my brother...he is a total douche and I believe he switched schools b/c people ripped into him so much for his appearance on that show. And he acted like a spoiled little bitch, so it serves him right.

I have cousins his age that grew up in actual mansions and my aunt would KILL one of them before ever allowing them to act like that. I can't stand that show and the kids that are like that. The sense of entitlement is just disgusting.

Not sure if anyone said it yet, but I hate when people say "orientated" ....that word annoys the hell out of me.
