I hate it when I open the door to the garage and the monster that lives there within the darkness tries to trick me into opening my eyes before I turn on the lights to banish it by rushing toward me so the shuffling sound will scare me into looking at what is in front of me and then I will see the incomprehensible horror standing there and instantly die of fright or become emotionally and psychically weakened enough that it can possess my physical form and torment me or my family until our prolonged and agonizing death occurs. That's my biggest pet peeve.

When I go into a thread to make a stupid joke about having a large pet literally named Peeve, and the first response already stole it.

I wonder if anyone's ever actually named their dog Peeve just so they could make that joke. If I met someone who did that I'd hit them. I'll bet they'd use Reddit a lot too.

What really irks me is seeing people (particularly the "death-fat" lolcows like Amberlynn Reid) fail to appreciate their food. Rather than take smaller, more reasonable bites, they instead stuff their faces. It doesn't make me especially angry; just consistently frustrated every time I see it.

It annoys me to no end when people take forever to say something. They use as many words as possible and take 2 minutes to say something that takes 10 seconds to say. Or they repeat themselves a few times but say it in a different way just to keep talking for longer. It's like they're so starved for socializing that once they have someone listening to them they can't let it end.

Then they get mad at me if I cut them off and say "(short summary of what they are trying to say), got it" or "wrap it up, buddy".

It depends on the context though. If I'm listening to someone tell me about something or tell an anecdote then it doesn't annoy me. It's mainly just when someone is asking me for something or asking me to do something. For example instead of just asking to borrow my lawn mower they'll instead start talking about their lawn and how the grass is getting long then proceed to talk about lawnmowers in general and how they are looking to buy one before finally getting to the point and asking to borrow it.

My ultimate pet peeve is when people don't have basic manners - loudly chewing, not saying please and thank you, not holding the door open for people behind them, etc. It pisses me off to the point that I've left dates and dropped friends because of the way they act.

Whispering makes me irrationally angry. I don't mind it as a concept, nor do I have anything against the people doing it, it's just that whenever I hear it I see red. It's a completely irrational overreaction and really hard to control... so maybe it's not a pet peeve, actually. Whoops.

What I know for sure is a pet peeve is that I hate people misinterpreting what I or others say in really really stupid ways. For example: someone getting mad at me for telling them to lose weight when I actually said for them not to take too much food because I want some. Leaps in logic like that. Just assuming so many things right off the bat purely so that you can be angry at someone- it gets people nowhere, hurts relationships, destroys communication and does nothing other than let people get their anger out (usually on people who are unrelated to it). If someone does it even once or twice I try not to talk to them for the rest of the day.

I relate to this so much. I work in tech support, about half the people who call are like this and fall under two subcategories:

Storytellers: They think they need to tell me their life story to explain a problem which only requires like 10 words (or less).

Dunning-Kruegerites: They are half-bright jackasses who think they know more then they do. They assume they know what I need to hear when they really, really don't, always start the troubleshooting process like 3 to 5 steps past the actual source of the issue.

Absolutely this.

It drives me crazy. Especially because you often know you're not getting anything out of this conversation. They either:

  • Want something, but feel like they need to soften you up to it somehow
  • Want to avoid admitting they don't know or have not done something they should, by talking about other things they know about or have done
  • Just can't express themselves properly because they are retarded.

I sometimes get these kind of people complain I am being rude to them because I cut them off to redirect them in the right direction as well. But some people just can't articulate a simple answer to a simple question unless you pry it out of them. I should not be the only having to suffer from these incredibly frustrating conversations.

Also this. I had a dude I worked with who would whisper all the fucking time. Even if I answered his question 5 times in a row with speak up, he would keep the same tone. It did not work out.

Fuck hit the nail on the head. so many people need to waste their fucking breath before they get to the actual point of a conversation. I've had people get upset since I tuned out and tuned in minutes later hopefully arriving at whatever the fuck they are trying to convey. Like my dude i dont need 20 minutes of context for you to ask me to do something or why you did something or give me the information I need

Though I might be just an objective oriented autist
