What are your pet peeves?

[JAD94]

Hey everyone! So I was at work today making my calls as usual and my co-worker that sits beside me starts to squint her face and sneezes. She didn't cover her mouth and I cringed in disgust haha. We all have at least one pet peeve, so with that said, what are your major pet peeves? 

Some of mine are;

-When people don't cover their mouth when sneezing

-When you extend your hand out to receive something from someone and they don't put it directly in your hand

-When people lean their back on the polls of the train thus hogging it up

Heck yeah slim. I feel ya! With todays diseases such as AIDS/STDS out of control, I feel ya on that cringe

• People who chew with their mouths open. Can't stand it! It causes me to fly into a rage, so I tend not to eat with others.

Receiving a limp\weak handshake.
College students who adopt a hoity toity, high society, accent regardless of the course they're taking.
People who use "like" multiple times whilst speaking and in places where it doesn't need to be used.
People who take up extra space on buses and trains by giving their shopping bags a nice comfy seat.
People who don't have their tickets ready to pass through ticket barriers in a crowded train station. They never move to the side and just hold everyone up.
Being harassed by charity workers. Bonus points if you're harassed multiple times in a row as you walk down the street.

• When I'm putting effects on music and I can't get the knobs or sliders to land on a number that is divisible by 3 or 5. Please, please just let me type the value in. Go away knobs, no one likes you.

Stuff on the floor. I don't care if the table has 500 junk mails on it, just keep your crap off my floor. If it's on the floor I consider it trash.
Eating noises. I have misophonia. It quite literally makes me feel like throwing up. I eat by myself and I don't go out to eat because it makes me feel that terrible. 
A single person who needs a table of six to themselves. One chair for his bag, one chair for his coat, and one chair for each boot. 
People who try to rush onto an elevator or train before people can exit.
When people say "huh, what?" when I say I can't hear them.

 

[Matseb2611]

Although I can go on and on, I'll just mention a few off the top of my head that annoy me.

Driving:

- People that tailgate you.

- People that don't use their indicators when turning, coming off a roundabout, or changing lanes.

Noise:

- Noisy neighbours listening to their upbeat music loudly next door.

- People who shout and make loud noises outside at 2 am at night.

- People making a lot of noise or talking loudly in the cinema or public transport.

- Children screaming loudly in high-pitched screams in public places (or anywhere in fact).

- Loud vehicles such as scooters, lorries, tractors, and such passing by (I'm kind of noise-sensitive).

Hygeine:

- People that don't wash their hands (with soap!!!) after the toilet. It really irks and disgusts me.

Misc:

- People in supermarkets that occupy entire isles all to themselves and their shopping cart (or push prams)

Good to know I'm not the only one who experiences this. It's difficult to describe my reaction as soon as I hear these sounds. You can't just ignore it, either. It drives you crazy.

 

[NeoFantasy]

Little kids who think cod is the best thing ever.

People who think any one who likes anime is a weebo and wants to be japanese.

Steam cloud

When someone eats something gresey and touches my stuff

Auto correct

And all those illumanti confirmed mlg videos in YouTube that my brother is obsessed with.

The best way I've tried to help someone relate to it is by comparing it to a sound that universally elicits a physical response out of someone; dragging fingers down a chalk board. However, those with hatred of sounds go way further into territories of fight or flight. Unfortunately few people take it very seriously and I've had plenty of people "humor me" by purposefully chewing with as few manners as humanly possible right in my face. I've never hit anyone but if there's ever going to be a fist time; it's probably going to be the next person who does that to me.

Edit: Ha, I stand by that typo. "fist time"

Mine are mostly related to work...

* Customers who sit the basket on the counter and don't take their stuff out

* Customers who act like they can't speak by ignoring all greetings, questions, etc but then speak fine when they think you made a mistake

* When people put stuff back BESIDE the spot they are supposed to go. FIVE SECONDS OF EFFORT MORE all it takes

* When my nail brushes across a surface of any sort djsfdshfdfdhf just thniknig about that I have to rub all my nails

* People who act like know-it-alls when people try to give them advice

o3o yeah plenty more but I think those are some of the biggest

I have a few retail ones, Makio.

• When someone pushes up a shopping basket into the checkout but disappears into the store without unloading anything. I call this phenomenon "ghost cart."
• When you greet someone and ask how they are doing and they just shout, "TERRIBLE." Sir, if you didn't really want to talk to me silence would have been sufficient. 
• I love to small talk, but people who want to keep talking, and talking, talking way after their order is over and I have a line of customers to great, serve, and speak with.
• The classic "customer sent shopping cart into the abyss of the parking lot." Cart return is only a few feet away, people.
• It's one thing to stick something on the wrong shelf; I hate that no matter what. But, did this guy seriously just put a package of raw chicken in my lettuce display? You sir, are going to Hell.

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh ---------- How did this not make my list. I must have put this out my mind completely. (Sometimes it is the same people telling the same stories too!)

What I'll actually physically NEVER understand is when people are in line and they think that shoving something they don't want in the gum rack is better than handing it to the cashier and saying, "I changed my mind on this." Why make the staff play this stupid game of hide and seek.

Raw chicken in the lettuce though... yikes. I recall a time when we couldn't figure out why one till was stinking so bad and then we learned weeks later that the smell was a package of those prepared salad bag things that a customer had shoved in behind the gum displays. It was pure mush in a bag. Disgusting. Stank. ahhhh gotta love people haha

Here's another work one I remembered

* People trying to talk to you OVER the customer you are currently talking to. One day, I will kick someone for this. For now, I just pretend that they don't exist.

 

[13thSecret]

I can shrug off most things and chalk it up to people being people. The only major thing that annoys me is seeing someone not consider and reflect upon someone else's perspective. That happens a lot, unfortunately. 

Oh, and screeching noises.

You do realize neither one of those are contagious from coughing/sneezing, I hope?

;( That's so horrible. But you're right. I've found just about anything stuffed in the gum rack. Bricks of cheese. Impulsive reversals of impulse buys.

Being talked over from down the line is definitely another one.

And sometimes they decide to come at you from all sides, too. You have guy #1 standing at the lottery pissed that he has to wait for me to finish my line. Then lady #1 has pulled out a check. Lady #2 let's out a huge sigh, "Why can't they open another one?" Then someone comes behind my till "Maaaaaa'am, where's the hot sauce? The one on sale?"

 

[Matseb2611]

I should also add to the sneezing one that sneezing into your hand is just as bad, if not worse, than sneezing out in the open, because your hand is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. So if you sneeze into it, don't go shaking people's hands afterwards.

 

[Makio-Kuta]

I always try to sneeze into my arm.

Yes!!!! After a long day at work and I have to take two buses, there's nothing I want more than to sit down and somewhat enjoy the ride. But there is always that one person who decides their bag needs a seat too . 

And yes there's something about weak handshakes that really irk me!

Watching others to eat. I don't like to look someone's face while they are eating which brings me to the another point.


I feel uncomfortable to watch someone's face for long if they are also watching me. Unless it's not a human.


I'm focusing on something and people start to communicate with me before I can prepare.


Don't touch me unless I'm aware that you're going to.


This is not a big deal but please call me "human" rather than a "dog" even though I wear collars. I know those jokes might be funny but think a moment before you tell one.

 

[Alexander Amnell]

Having Asperger's, I'm more often the offender of pet peeves rather than the one offended, but I have a few.

• people who start arguments, then proclaim they "are to busy to prove me wrong" when I not only refute their opinions with facts but give them the information to look up and verify those facts for themselves. Just admit you don't know what you are talking about and move on, but to many people like to pretend they're plugged in by watching SNL and following twitter, nothing you can do about it.

• People who assume I'm unscrupulous because I can't keep my eyes locked with theirs for the entirety of our conversation. I get that proper eye contact is natural to "normal" people when conversing, but in my experiences some of the most dishonest people around don't have that tell, and more often than not the people that do aren't. But perception is a hard thing to change, and that can really make life hell for a young man trying to find his way in a world that writes him off as a miscreant fool no matter how hard he tries to prove himself as anything but. 

• When bloodmobile workers call my manhood into question when I tell them I can't stand being stuck with a needle and having the blood drained out. I've been beaten up, impaled myself on a rusty augur after a bad fall, and even got shot once and I'd take any of those again (well, beaten up I guess. The other two lead to hospitilization and thus more little needles, but barring that I'd still prefer them) over that tiny little lancet any day. Don't know why, but I just can't take the needle, I'm to aware of it in me, and then I pass out.

And a couple that might be related to by people without a social disorder:

• women who wear to much perfume, it give me a terrible migraine and even facilitated my abandonment of traditional church services in my youth.
• people who throw away a plate full of food, especially when they are more than ten years old. 
• pedestrians who refuse to look around before walking into traffic, yes the law says pedestrians always have the right of way, but at least verify that the motorist you're walking in front of sees you before getting in front of them, seriously.
• People with handicapped stickers on their vehicle that whip in, hop out of their cars and sprint into the store. I'm tempted to tackle those people sometimes, especially when I see an elderly gentleman hobbling along with a cane that had to park in the back of the parking lot because the handicapped spots were all taken. 
• People who leave the stall door unlocked when they go to the bathroom, do they enjoy awkward interruptions or something?

 

[Clord]

I have more!


Very loud music festivals etc is something I don't want to be in personally as they are so loud that I vomit. I have some averse reaction to seriously loud sounds, beyond typical loud. More correct way to put it was that I might panic and vomit.
