10 Pet Peeves We Can All Agree On

user

Since it’s Pet Peeve Week, all of you shared the little things that get under your skin in a big way. From your submissions, I’ve rounded up 10 annoyances I think most of us would count among our pet peeves. I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of doing these from time to time, but since it’s the week to let out our frustration, let’s get to it!
  • Loud Chewing - There’s nothing more annoying than hearing someone take every bite. Chomp, chomp . . . yuck!  
  • Inconsiderate Habits on the Subway or Elevator - Move away from the doors so I can get on, people! 
  • "Telling It How It Is" - One reader says she hates when people "keep it real" or "call you out" when they're actually just being rude and imposing their own personal opinion as fact.  
  • Bad Driving Habits - Some common pet peeves: slow driving, drivers who forget to use blinkers, people who don't stop at stop signs (does rolling count?).  
  • Lazy Grammar - We can all make mistakes (me included!), but that doesn't mean egregious grammar offenses don't get under our skin from time to time.  
  • Fingernail Clipping in Public - If you’re thinking “eeeeew” that’s what I think when I come across this in public!  
  • Rudeness to Service People - One reader said she she refuses to eat out with a certain friend because she's so rude to waiters.  
  • Bad Cell Phone Etiquette - I can’t stand when friends take long cell phone calls while we're hanging out. You guys also think talking on the phone in public or obsessive text messaging can get annoying. I agree.  
  • Rules For the Sake of Rules - Why exactly do we have to keep all our liquids to a 3.4 ounce bottle or less when we travel? What happens if they're 3.5 ounces?  
  • Inappropriate Questions About Our Love Lives - If I don't know you well, don't ask me why I'm single!
