    Oh, and what about squeezing the toothpaste in the middle, instead of working your way up it. This too, could be ocd, rather than a peeve. But DON'T squeeze my toothpaste from the middle!

    I'm totally guilty of the toothpaste thing! My boyfriend gets PISSED! Within three days of opening a new tube, it's not recognizable. And the cap won't close anymore.
    I'm going to start working on that, since it's obviously not just him trying to tell me how to do things! Ha Ha!

    *Being told what to do- major pet peeve :)

    I feel his pain... Solution to that problem you say? Everybody has their OWN tube of toothpaste, to squeeze where ever they want. Sometimes my husband thinks he's funny though, and will squeeze mine just for "fun". I could kill him.

    I'm right there with you on this one! My ex (yes, EX) would leave no room unsoiled - there wasn't a single room in the house that didn't have some random article of clothing on the floor. I bought him a clothes hamper (since that was apparently too much to ask a 35 year old to do himself), and he used it for CLEAN clothes (instead of the dresser) and still left the dirty ones and semi-clean ones in piles all over the place!

    Hey...I love a nice moscato. But I'm a cheap date and I don't know any better. I need some nice liquor store "snob" to tell me "what's good!" ;)

    This seriously made my eye twitch when I read it. My husband does this with the iced tea pitcher. Not only is it a big pitcher to be EMPTY in my fridge...but it's EMPTY! Argh!!

    To add to ones I haven't seen yet:

    • People who don't use ANY punctuation or capital letters in their sentences. C'mon folks, you took a grammar class in high school, act like it!
    • There, Their, They're; Your, You're, Yore(?)...'nuff said!!
    -Do I sound like a grammar nazi? Haha!
    • My coworker who complains she's, "so busy!" but then I see her on her computer a few minutes later browsing Pinterest!

    A couple more...

    (1) I can't stand when people remember the past or a conversation, differently than what actually happened. I have a great memory for past conversations/events, and frequently surprise friends and family with my accuracy of details. This is particularly annoying when they use these details to twist my own words, or a stance on an argument.

    (2) When people are trying to merge (particularly when I'm in the car with them), and they get annoyed about nobody letting them over, or traffic being heavy, but DON'T turn on their blinker until the VERY last second before they physically move into the other lane. The blinker is there to alert other drivers you are intending to move over... how is it beneficial to flip on the blinker while already in the process of merging??

    Unibrows...I don't know why....
    More of an OCD thing but all my audio devices volume has to be on even numbers.
    chewing with your mouth open, or crunching food loudly enough I can hear it a few seats over.
    Not using turn signals when you drive.
    The decay of written language due to hacked to shreds text slang.
    Dirty kitchen sinks with food and dishes in it for more than a few hours (all three of my house mates do this).
    Using my things without asking and then lying to my face when confronted about it. 9 times out of 10 I would have let you borrow whatever it was anyways.

    I will not be sympathetic especially when its something they do to themselves repeatedly without learning any sort of lesson from the experience.

    Gentlemen, your pants are to be worn up on your waist. For those who don't know: your waist is the area just above or just below your belly button. Yes WAY up there. You do NOT wear your pants down on your hip bones showing off your underwear. WOMEN wear their pants on their hips NOT men.

    What hell is with the "socks with sandals and basketball shorts" look? If you have no self respect, just tell people. Don't advertise it.

    Did this just become a rant? No apologies

    No discrimination between your and you're, there their and they're, when people say 'We was... or They was...' When people obviously make a situation more dramatic than it needs to be. People 'sagging' (I don't want to see your underwear!!) and people blaring their sound systems in their cars (if I wanted to hear that song, I'd buy the album!) oh and people loudly cursing and using foul language in public, particularly when children are around

    I hate sagging pants but my pants don't fit up by my belly button, I'm skinny so they need to rest around hip area cuz stomach too small but I don't sag my pants at all and wear a belt most days to keep them up so I'm dressed decent.

He sent back a string of emoticons :( can't win with some people

    When people complain about things without actually making any effort to change it. For example: "Oooh Liv my boyfriend is really mean and boring. He cheated on me with Ross (one of our guy friends) and makes me feel crazy. I had to up my antidepressents because he makes me feel so bad about myself!" ......... "No why would I break up with him?". GIVES. ME. RAGE. :rage:
    Another young adult female classic: "Wah wah wah I'm single, no guys like me blah blah blah." ....... "Well no, I don't approach them myself, participate in social hobbies or do absolutely anything that would put me in a situation to meet a nice guy". STOP.COMPLAINING.I.DONT.CARE. I woud have sympathy if you were constantly putting yourself out there and being rejected, buuut you don't so I just like you less now.

    -People who refer to their suv's as trucks.
    -Stupid people. It's too easy to educate yourself on anything with the resources available to be acceptable.
    -People who drive in the left lane and refuse to move over for faster traffic to get by.

    I have more but I'm already getting irritable thinking about it so I'll take a breather lol.

    1) People who think that we should just loan them expensive tools at no charge so they can fix their cheap cr*p. You want quality, you pay for quality.

    2) People who think that just because a job was quick (because we have the correct expensive tool to do it) that we shouldn't charge for it. See #1.

    3) People who think that just because my business is home-based they don't have to pay sales tax... and then they claim that I'm pocketing it. Would you like to see the results of my state tax audit from earlier this year? :rolleyes:

    4) People who think that just because my business is home-based as opposed to a B&M store, we will be willing to violate federal laws. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm... no.

    5) People who don't know the difference between a tax return and a tax refund. A 1040 is a return, a refund goes into your bank account so you can buy more snakes!

    3. Refer to number 2

    4. The saying "The only good snake is a dead snake". The best way to end a conversation with a person like that is to say "The only good person is a dead person" *insert end of conversation here*

    5. Herp hunting all bloody morning and seeing nothing...and then the dog pukes in your car on the way home. Might explain my mood right now...

    6. People who make lists of things and have one of the things in the list refer to another thing in the list, Refer to number 1,2, and 3

    Whenever I read "poisonous" snake and it's not about the Japanese keelback. Especially in scholarly articles like textbooks or assignments.

    Cheesy commercials. I hate cheesy commercial jingles. Like that Farmers Only Dot Com one. Nope, hate them.

    People who speed up while you're trying to merge lanes.

    Really? You'd rather rear-end me than let me go?


    People who are always killing or rehoming their pets and getting new ones like they aren't living things. But then are the ones who share all the "stop animal abuse" posts >.>


    Also, my friend who is always complaining that she doesn't have a boyfriend but only likes pretty boys and famous youtube stars... I don't think I've ever met anyone so desperate in my life. She'll add anyone on the ps3 who gives her a compliment for being a girl, and it's all the dirty guys I avoid. Seriously girl, there are nice guys in your league that like you, I've met them, but you won't give them the time of day >.<
