- Chewing loudly. - 'Talking' to babies. Why is it that all the mature, middle-aged and elderly people I am surrounded with suddenly lose all knowledge of language and sanity when in the presence of a baby? I do not appreciate having to put up with: "A To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. isn't he so cute! *cue unintelligible, unintelligent, slurring sounds complete with childish facial expression*" It drives me insane. - The word 'cute'. - Sports fanatics. - Idiots.

People make those sounds around infants for a reason. Even monkeys do it with their young. So I wouldn't necessarily say they've lost their sanity, but are perhaps just doing what is natural.

	Definitely both of these. I hear 'ask' pronounced as 'ax' so many times and it confuses me when people say that they're going to ax their friend.

Don't confuse colloquialisms with mispronunciations, though.

[Nox]

1)People reading over my shoulder while I am trying to work.
2)People standing right on top of me.
3)Loud whispering (if you’re trying to keep it a secret actually WHISPER).
4)Having the nerve to sit behind me and constantly hiss back and forth to each other during an interesting lecture. At least have enough respect to pass a note instead of opening your gobs.
5)Dr. Phil, telemarketers, and Ted Haggard (all self-explained).

[bricklayer]

High/squeaky voices.

All too curious eyes.

Bad Drivers.

Loud, voracious eating.

[True Rune]

Many of these "peeves" make me laugh.
But snoring and people who talk bad about other people all the time are mine.

	This is all I have right now...... 21. Conversations in a public bathroom when you are in the stall.

Why do people insist on this? It is so annoying.

To add a few of my own:
1.gossip
2.people who can't stop talking, especially if they just keep repeating themslves
3.having someone stand over my shoulder
4.people who assume that since I'm quiet and generally nice that I must not be intelligent
5.people who talk over me or ignore me on the occaional time I try to join a conversation
6.being told to smile
7.looking down on others for whatever reason
8. the very strange assumption that people have that I love Winny the Pooh. I don't know where the idea came from, but I grow very weary of getting gifts with him all over them.

[Tulula]

Stupid people who think they are smart!
Perpectual victims!
Cowards!
Cruel people!
Rude people!
Condescending people!

[Grizzly]

Playing video games badly while I'm watching.
Sometimes I think a little piece of me dies when someone spends 2 minutes stuck in a corner asking "whats going on?"

[Caucus]

*Loud piercing noises
*People invading my privacy repeatedly
*Fake people or being made to act fake
*People who keep talking and talking
*Repetitive tasks or tasks that require no thought.
*People who don't have the guts to tell you something to your face, but will gossip about you, when they know you're not around..in other words..cowards!
*Being told to smile or show emotion when I have no reason to do so.

[Nox]

*smiles at ScurvyRose* Twenty-eight pet peeves? That's all that you could come up at the spur of the moment? I'd hate to see how many you could put if you carried a notepad around all day :P.

I'll expand on your number sixteen, "Due dates on library books." I find it highly annoying I am waiting for a book to be returned so that I can check it out and the person returns it two weeks overdue. Zeus forbid that someone be waiting in line to *gasp* read a book.

LOL however, I find due dates annoying when I'm bogged down and trying to read an enjoyable book at the same time. Thank heavens for renewals.

	For me, usually sounds bother me.

Yes. Sound most definitely bothers me. I live in an apt complex that's fond of doing mass amounts of landscaping or maintenance of it. The machine noise hurts my ears. Also, crying babies are the most horrible of all time.

I also dislike price sticker residue, but not to a point of frustration.

Double-edged positions. Defining an object whereby in doing so the object is no longer considered the point of the position. (Figure that out and get back to me)

I hate people who talk behind my back,


I also hate

-histrionics and their drama.
-Grown men who wear knee socks-YOU'RE NOT SIX YEARS OLD ANYMORE!
-Being asked to smile in photographs, I'm pretty damn good at spotting fake smiles and I hate fake smiles.
-People who are loud and obnoxious.
-People who HAVE to TALK SO #%&@ING LOUDLY ON THEIR DAMNED CELL PHONE, especially in places like bathrooms, restaurants, and elevators.
-Phones that won't stop ringing-thank God for the answering machine-good for filtering out the telemarketers.

[Adufanion]

I've got a few myself. These are in descending order from outright frightening to merely bothersome.

People who stop at the foot or the top of a moving escalator. (I'm a commuter and this happens all the time in the subway).

Anyone who eats while talking on the phone with me. Drinking something is tolerable as long as I don't have to hear the slurping.

Emotional inconsistency.

People who talk loudly on a cell phone whilst utilizing public transportation. Speaking softly is only barely more tolerable.

Poor spelling, punctuation and grammar. From others of course, but even moreso when I screw it up.

Tardiness by others for an engagement where I've busted my butt to get there on time.

The color Pink.

Another cell phone rant

I also hate those that not only speak loudly on their cell phones but are also holding up the line at Wal-Mart.

[Adufanion]

More on cell phones:

If a person is incapable of the wondrous skill multitasking, that person has no business on a cell phone doing anything other than standing still and speaking in a normal or lower volume of voice. I don't care to hear one side of a conversation I cannot participate in, don't want to participate in, by people I don't know or care to know.

Drives me batty. Batty I say!

[mheart]

I get SO ANGRY when people get very close to the back of my car with theirs. My car has problems, and I don't want to get into an accident by slowing down while some guy is trying to get me to go faster - in the slow lane. Sometimes people here even turn on their brights behind me to try to get me going faster! NOT HAPPENING. I turn on the hazards if anyone's that much of a moron. I've got out-of-state plates - why don't you just go around!? GRR!

[Monte314]

Noisy neighbors. Their neglected dog has been sitting on their front porch barking it's head off for the last two hors... just like last night.

[Harjanaz]

I hate it when people make that smacking noise when they eat. I don’t know how they got through life with out being told that’s annoying.

If I can hear other people’s music, especially if im in class and i can hear it over their headphones.

People being dramatic also really annoys me. for example, someone described a building as "incredible" haha

[PHS Philip]

People using words with the wrong meaning. Even more so when they use it almost correctly. Some words have very precise meanings, what I usually think of as degrees of meaning. Two words that would, by a dictionary, be defined as synonyms because no other words capture the difference so you can't defined, but are actually slightly different, specific meanings. It drives me absolutely crazy. These words have these precise degrees of meaning for a reason, and people need to know them or we'll lose them, and make English even more difficult to express a precise thought than it already is, and I already have to fight the language to say what I want. It's part of the reason I want to learn other languages: to help me communicate ideas with greater precision.

[Stargazer]

Religious Nuts

Sports Fanatics

Cell phones when used ANYWHERE I can either see or hear the person using it

The stupid rings that people put on their cell phones

Inconsiderate people who have their nose in the air and are oblivious to the fact that the world does not revolve around them and that they are only a part of the environment and not rulers of it

People who drive while reading, putting on make-up, shaving, eating, or using technology

Jackasses with lifted trucks that are so impractical as to be useless for any other reason than to display their insecurities

Anyone who feels the need to rev an engine for absolutely no reason

People who cannot look at themselves objectively

Homeowners associations and the self-righteous pricks that run them

People who generally think that rules and guidelines do not apply to them
These are some of the more-irritating ones I can think of.

Someone mentioned George Carlin earlier having psychotic fucking hatreds. Mine are: while trying to help a patient in the emergency room where I work, they can't get off the fucking phone (land or cell)--obviously these pieces of shit aren't really having an emergency if they can't get off the phone long enough to have the doctor examine them*, and people who do not listen to what you are telling them, cannot read the enormous signs giving them precise instructions, or question every thing we tell them about their medical condition and care as though their two years of sub-standard high school education somehow equates to more knowledge than the eight-plus years of college a physician must have. Someone else mentioned baby talk and I agree 110%--speak to the child intelligently, he'll thank you for it later.

*The next time you are in an emergency room waiting to see a doctor, be sure to thank these inconsiderate assholes on phones because many doctors will simply walk out and not return for 15-20 minutes and keep doing so until the idiot gets off the phone. Meanwhile, the person is tying up a bed that could be utilized by other waiting patients.
