What is your pet peeve?

I would have to say one of mine is being interrupted when I'm speaking. It's such a problem in our society everyone talks but nobody listens.

That is really true..oops....hope I didn't interupt you. Anyway my pet peeve is petty people. They worry that someone is getting something they are not..or worried that they might be out ten cents ...or just in general nit pick at others even though they are not perfect!

My pet peeve is someone eating with their mouth open at the table,even worse is when they are sitting directly across from me and i can see it and hear the chomping/slurping noise.It drives me nuts.:)

I agree with both of you. There are some people who I refuse to eat with at all they are disgusting, and I have to hide the snack foods I like at home or I won't get any.

Lol,i know what you mean!Haha.I hide my pringles and my 4 1/2 year old daughter hides her chocolate chip cookies from daddy because he cant control himself with it,hehe.She said the other day to him when he asked where the cookies are and she said"i hid them from you because you will eat them all"i laughed so hard.Mt brothers the same way,as soon as mom comes home with grocerys hes got his head in the cupboard and fridge pigging out and trying to see how fast he can stuff everything down in one day,grrr!My mom tells him though and hides some goodies for her in a secret place,ooooooh,hehe.:)

Hello there I absolutely hate people who talks loudly on the phone. They are so loud that you can even hear them from 100 meters. Only the person on the other end of the phone needs to hear the conversation. People around does not need to hear.

I do know exactly what you mean. My boyfriend who lives with me acts like he's on stage without a microphone every time he gets on the phone. I have to tell him to take the phone and go in the other room. he literally yells and he has one of those deep, big, booming voices anyway, he used to be a DJ.

Oh, you know what I just can't stand? You are with, we'll say, three people. The one talking is only looking at the other person and never looks at you. You are not included in the discussion or it's like you aren't even standing there. Almost like you don't exist..........I hate that!!!!! I always include whoever is standing around into the discussion by looking at everyone when I'm talking, not just one person. I think I explained this so you understand what I'm saying...haha...

People not listening to what I tell them... I've been around a while, and I know some stuff. My headache cure has worked for me. I'm approaching 6 months without a migraine and cured them with simple supplements, but there are people around my who are so concerned about consuming a couple of nutrients that they will fall for all these expensive useless pills and treatments, including Botox injections! A paralytic poison instead of a couple of vitamins and a mineral! Then I hear "But mine are really bad!"... mine put me in the hospital several times a month for observation and narcotic injections... trust me, they were bad, too! Maybe people prefer drama, maybe curing headaches would rob the world of its major cop-out, I don't know. But they need to at least TRY it and see what happens... the thought of having another migraine makes me shake in fear, and I sure don't want the people I care about to hurt like I did!

Well sweetie I would just thank my lucky stars that the treatment is working for you and just put them out of your mind their loss not yours.

It sounds like to me your pet peeve might be migraine headaches. Or the people that give them to you. ; )

It so frustrating to see people in pain like that, missing school and work and life, when they could possibly stop it! The fact that they won't TRY is way beyond my understanding!

For me when I am speaking the listeners started yawning. And I don't know either me or they not interested with the subject of my speaking or discussion. what ever it is I keep going with my speaking, never bother about my pet peeve unless they butt-off of bug-off.
