Biggest pet peeve in the world?
I have many-
tailgaters,
parents who refuse to acknowledge their kid has a problem or did anything wrong, or is disabled...
ALLERGIES-especially today where I've taken two of the strongest, fastest, longest acting pills already AND singulair, and sinus otrivin 5 times...(actually, just sneezing alone is my least fave thing-I'd rather be throwing up)
extreme religious fanatics who push it on you when you already have a religion!
Oh, gee, I could go on forever....

Keep on keepin' on...

Pushy religious fanatics... although pushy political fanatics are just as bad... and if you combine the two, I'd say that's probably my #1 biggest pet peeve, because the 2 have no business mixing.
Irresponsible parents... and I'll leave it at that, nice and broad. LOL
Bad drivers in general. You see a lot of that up here, esp. people who take the phrase "speed LIMIT" very literally and drive 20mph BELOW it (for no reason - I'm not talking about bad weather, car trouble, etc) without their hazards on. I'm sorry, but that's just as dangerous as speeding, when you're talking about twisty roads... you're just ASKING to get rear-ended.

Hrm. Those may all be variations on a theme. Closed minds drive me up a tree!

ugggggggggggggghhhh.. I hate that too!!
My biggest pet peeve is people who think that are experts, when you know full well they don't have a clue!
ugh reminds me of a boy I dated once.. it was during the presidential election. He came over and actually asked me whats a democrat? whats a republican? one month later he was a political force to be reckoned that couldn't shut up about anything, although he really only knows what he reads and hears on TV. ANNOYING! (haha this was the same boy that told me I wasn't DEEP enough).

Oh lord... I hope I don't offend anybody. FYI: I just got home from being out of town this week and discovered my pet sitter somehow missed my guinea pig developing a massive eye infection and now they think he's going to be permanently blind in that eye. To say that I'm upset would be the understatement of the year. Distraught would be more accurate.
I'll start with my animal related ones:
1) People who let their dogs ride loose in the back of pick up trucks. For crying out loud, do they not realize how dangerous that is? I've even seen them with the back gate thing down.
2) People who give their pets to shelters over small stupid life changes such as moving or having a baby. My opinion is that when you get an animal you are promising to take care of it for its entire life. Before you get that animal you should be darn sure you have the money to pay for all that it will need, including veterinary care in extreme cases. One of my dogs was dumped at a shelter because her family moved (she was only four months old so how long could they have had her?) and the other was tossed on the streets because he has defective hips. My cat is mysteriously missing nearly all of his bottom teeth (abuse? who knows). These animals are the lights of my life and bring me immeasurable joy every single day. They also cost me a bloody fortune. If you can't deal with this, don't get a pet. If you can't take care of a dog, what the hell are you doing with a baby?
3) People who eat meat and get squeamish over horror movies, dogs and cats being killed, or the idea of cannibalism. Sorry folks- it's all the same to me. If you can't personally stomach watching it being killed or kill it yourself, I don't think you should eat it. This is not to say that killing things for sport doesn't make my list.
other less controversial things:
4) drivers who fail to use turn signals
5) students who view their college education as shopping at a mall
6) those little short ruffled skirts that barely cover girls' behinds
7) sweatpants with writing on the behind
8) extremely out of shape people who refuse to consider a healthy diet or exercise
9) parents who don't control their children
10) really obvious spelling or grammar mistakes on the internet
11) obnoxious know-it-all grad students who find the support for their position continuously in identity politics
12) snotty historians who decry interdisciplinary programs as inferior
13) pink eye
14) the expression "you go girl"
15) internet forwards
This seems good for tonight.

your turn signal pet peeve reminded me...
*most* drivers over 65, and drivers under 21. UGH.
I can't even tell you how many times i've almost been hit by 70 yr old men. Just this week 2 old ladies almost bowled me over in their cars.
Teenagers are just as bad though.. although they err towards the reckless on purpose side..

my other pet peeve is people who tell the same stories over and over and over and over and over again. its like seriously.. get a new gig.
Its one thing if you tell it over and over and over again to a different crowd.. but when there's a consistent audience member each and everytime.. it should signal you to look into some new material.

This is stupid, but in a crowded city it makes a difference ...
I can't stand when people don't obey the norms about walking. As in, stay to your right. If you are crossing the street and someone is headed right for you, you should both step to your right. There is nothing I hate more than doing the stupid "oops let's not run into each other" dance. Just move to the right! Same thing in my school building where we have double doors -- they are there for a reason! Use the door on the right! I can't stand when I open the door on the right and there is someone from the other side coming through MY door! Makes me CRAZY.
Okay, now that you all think I'm nuts, other pet peeves include:
poor grammar from supposedly smart people (professors, classmates, news anchors)
people who are grumpy and take it out on strangers for no reason
people who call themselves Liberal and open-minded, but criticize me / think I'm nuts for being religious and fairly conservative (this is totally not a dig at you, Shannon, I share your dislike of people who try to force religion down your throat!)
boys. 'nuff said.
