My real personal pet peeve more than anything else....is SMOKING. But I have personal reasons for that. Well not so personal that I can't share. But mainly because
1) It gives me a headache, and it makes me smell when I am around smokers
2) I don't want my kids around smokers
3) Last but not least, my GRANDPARENTS whom I both adore, and miss like crazy passed away fairly recently. My Grandmother passed to emphysema, and COPD, and my Grandfather to Lung Cancer. I had to watch them both suffer until there last day on earth. It was heart wrenching, and I hate what smoking does to people, and I hate what it did to the people I love more than anything in the world.
I don't hate people who smoke, but I hate that people choose to do it to themselves, knowing all of the risks with illnesses.
I would say for me personally, smoking will always bother me more than anything else out there. The second thing would probably be painkiller addicts. I have a close relative who was addicted to Oxycotin, and I had to have her baker acted twice. Today she is clean and sober, thank god. But she still SMOKES. Go figure. But again that would be on my personal list of things I hate, more so than Obesity, but I guess it has to also do with the fact that those things have PERSONALLY affected me and made me aware of the dangers.
