Pet Peeves

I live near a playing field and small park and it bothers me that so many children seem to scream mindlessly when running around happily. I find myself looking out in case somebody needs help! When I was young, I was taught not to scream when playing in case I was ignored later if I needed help....does this sound old trouty?

Agree with everything said above. Particularly eating with one’s mouth open. I have to put up with this every mealtime. Husband insists he can’t breathe otherwise. It should be a hanging offence.

Quite a lot of the above but some of the things listed don't seem to apply to me as I haven't experienced them. I'm feeling very fortunate compared to some.

I can only add the people who say something wrong/incorrect, accidentally or deliberately, and won't simply apologise when they are proved/shown they are wrong. They don't seem to realise that if you make a mistake and apologise everyone forgets it but if you refuse to recognise and apologise everyone remembers

Meant to add my pet peeve is litter. Just sheer laziness and ignorance

Another gum chewer here. My mouth gets very dry and chewing helps. I chew with my mouth closed and save the wrapper to put it in until I can bin it

Currently it my biggest, most liable to make me blow a gasket pet hate is those bar stewards who park on the pavement. Totally blocking the right of way for the old, young, those in a pram etc. One of these days I will, I really will.....

Neighbours who neglect their garden bordering mine. Girl behind started to cut down unsightly tree, made a mess of it and left it looking worse than when she started.

My pet peeve is the dog walkers who wake me up ridiculously early in the morning. They walk along the path behind our house and seem to forget that we can hear everything they say. So we know all about people's medical problems, relationship issues and so much more.

Not just 'most' but from a list. My 'pet' being ignorance.
Seems to be from many quarters of 'trade' and becoming the norm.If we request an electrician/ builder, via the email address they provide it is not for the pleasure of their company but because we have a ' bl****' problem in that quarter.Too difficult to respond ? easier to ignore ?

My peeve is about my pet. I hate the way my dog pretends he needs to ‘go’ in the garden then when I get to the door he doubles back and takes my place on the sofa. And not wanting an accident at fall for it every time?

All of the bloody competitions that seem to be on every daytime program every 5 mins.. I am disabled so watch a lot of TV. I now watch everything on catch up so I can wizz through them all.

Rudeness, drivers who don't acknowledge the fact you've given way to them: people who don't say thank you when you hold doors open for them.

Noisy, unruly children anywhere especially parents who ignore bad behavior.

People who carry on loud conversations on their mobiles in public.

I'm definitely turning into a "Grumpy Old Woman" & I'm only 64

My pet peeve is the cats bringing mice in

Reality TV and some of the talentless "stars" it creates
Tatoos - sorry, I know they are very popular, but why anyone would want to scribble all over themselves is just beyond me
Adults who swear infront of their young children

People who eat with their mouths open, it turns my stomach
Noisy music in cars - do they really have to share
Loud mobile phone users, hands free while walking - why
Bike users on pavements- there is a by-law that bans this
Adverts on tv- the noise level immediately goes up

Cars overtaking me when I am driving at the speed limit, especially in a 30 zone.

I hate being told what to do.
Noisy eaters.
Mobile phone zombies.
People who block the aisle in a supermarket having a chin-wag.

Just a plea for understanding for chewing gum users:I suffer from burning mouth syndrome and chewing gum is about the only way I can get relief. I try to be as discrete as possible as until I had this problem I always hated the look of it too

People who open/close windows on public transport at will with not a single consideration for the comfort of the other passengers.

People who have long loud conversations on their mobiles using hands free on the bus/tube/train. I have to carry headphones so I can listen to music and drown them out

Cyclists who ride on the pavement.
Cyclists who think red traffic lights don't apply to them.
People eating smelly fast food on trains and buses.

Loud background music in cafes and shops. I asked the hotel receptionist to turn it down but she said she couldn't. Also in gym and pool.

Bin men who leave the recycling bins hurled across roads and pavements and who throw rejected stuff from the recycling bins onto the floor (though littering was an offence?).
People talking while they're eating particularly on the phone - the noise of chomping and slobbering directly into my ear is enough to make me heave!

The absence of a sensible explanation as to why, after searching high and low for an hour, I found my glasses in the kitchen waste bin!
