What are Pet Peeves? Here is a list of some of the common Pet Peeves

Things you can’t help being annoyed and irritated about.

You must have heard this expression many times. A peeve literally means annoyance and a Pet Peeve is feeling of annoyance or something that puts you in a bad mood. It can be anything from a simple foot-tapping to a public display of affection. Interestingly, Pet peeves are usually the behaviour of people close to you like your sibling, colleagues, friends, and spouse. Sometimes your Pet Peeves could be an insignificant thing for others. For example, if you get irritated by the sight of Lego bricks scattered across the room and whereas for a 10-year-old, this is how he likes it.  Here is a list of some of the common Pet Peeves.

  1. People using your belonging as if they are their own.
  2. Dirty dishes piled in the sink. Seriously if you are a cleanliness freak, then nothing would annoy you more.
  3. People who make you wait. Seriously, who likes waiting!
  4. People who scuff their foot. Do they ever hear themselves?
  5. People who unnecessarily discuss the benefits of a diet when you are in the process of eating junk food.
  6. People who eat food from your plate. You wanted to eat those French fries!
  7. Coffee shops misspelling your name on the cup when you literally spelt them out.
  8. Online shopping sites that very sweetly charge shipping at check out. Why? Why? Why?
  9. People who use passive-aggressive behaviour on you. Please could you be clearer?
  10. People who literally shove you and then say excuse me as they did you a favour.
  11. When your friends are taking selfies all the time.
  12. Talking loud in the movie hall.
  13. People who unnecessarily give you spoilers of movies, web shows, and novels. But get annoyed when you replicate the gesture.
  14. There is nothing more annoying than a line drifter. So, like a fool, you are standing for hours, and they sweep across like a breeze and drift the queue.
  15. Slow internet is the awful thing ever. You would not find anyone who does not get irritated by slow internet.
  16. The hashtag maniac. They write one post and hashtag a thousand things.
  17. People who recline their seat on the aeroplane without prior warning. Fun fact: they think they own airline.
We hope you related to a spiritual level to some of these. So, which one is your Pet Peeve.
