What Are Your Pet Peeves?

My pet peeve is when someone says my thinking is wrong!

Some Dude: Do you like cookie dough ice cream?

Me: Not really.

Some Dude: Excuse Me? Everyone LOVES cookie dough ice cream. If you don’t like it, then wHy ArE yOu LiViNg?

I mean, not that stupid, but something like that!

I know what you mean. You try and say your piece and some theoretical idiot tries to say your whole mode of thinking is entirely wrong.

It’s tiresome. No. I don’t need you giving me your damn Ted talk on why Pirates of the Caribbean is intrinsically flawed when I said I like the first three. StOP

I know, right? One time I told someone that I didn’t like goat cheese, and they gave me a whole verbal persuasive essay on why goat cheese is better than cow’s milk cheese.
Okay, I get it, but I just don’t like the taste of goat cheese. People need to respect that not everyone is going to like the same flavors.

People especially women pushing motherhood onto me. Bruhh, I ain’t the maternal type and FYI not all women are baby making machines. We’re human too! Therefore women shouldn’t be obligated to have children.

Reminds me of some idiots that tell me that I’m a degenerate for hating cucumbers so much. Not like I written an essay on why I hate cucumbers.

For some reason the saying “living the best life” has been annoying me. It’s rare a phrase will get under my skin but this one got there.

People who offer me their vape/E-cig then when I reject it they assume it’s because I don’t know how to use it.

When people comment on what I’m eating in a negative way, it just makes me self-conscious.

When I tell a person that their actions are upsetting me and they continue to do whatever it is.

People who spit on the ground.

People with lack of spatial awareness.

One of my pet peeves:

“Where are you from?”

London :slight_smile:

“Haha yeah, but where are you really from?”

Um… London.

“But where were you born?”

London.

“But you’re like… Where are your parents from?”

London.


Jheez people. If you want to know my ethnicity, just tell me. I have very little affiliation to both India and Jamaica, except for the fact that my great-grandparents are living there right now. How am I supposed to assume you mean my ethnicity? I didn’t even go to Jamaica until I was 20!

I don’t like when people do this stuff:

  • rest their head on my shoulder then say “ew get off” if I do it back
  • constantly tell me to hold their bag, then when I need them to hold mine they refuse
  • I used to help this girl wash the bird poop off her everytime the seaguls relieved themselves but when a seagul pooped into my doritos she just laughed. So I guess that would just be laughing at the misfortune of others.
  • people who think winding people up is funny

FINALLY! Someone understands. This really triggers eating disorders! Trust me, it happens to me a lot since I’m trying to recover but still struggling.

These types of people shouldn’t even exist. If I tell you that I don’t want to talk about something that really upsets me, respect it and move on. Don’t press for answers from me!

As an Aspie (short for Asperger’s), I get very intolerant when people invade my personal space.

As a person who only wears the shirts of bands I do know that really annoys me. I was on a free period and went outside, alot of people were wearing the exact same ramones shirt. So I spoke to one of them and asked what their favourite song by them was and their response was “oh is this a band?”

I like both girly and boyish things :joy: used to play with dolls and my brothers cars. I don’t understand why some girls think they’re better than other girls because they like different things, it’s just snobbery.

Exactly.

You can be a feminine woman that likes make-up, dresses, shopping and like Call Of Duty.

These so called ‘not like the other girls’ need to p**s off!

I have this really annoying cousin who said to my other cousin “Legos are for girls” and I was infinitely facepalming so hard at her for that.

I have a friend kinda like that. I sent her a picture of my room after it was decorated and the only pink item I have in my room is my moisturizer. She ignored the posters, manga, DVDs, CDs and basically the other things I was trying to show her. She replied with “omg you wouldn’t catch me dead with anything pink in my room it’s so girly” so what if I want pink moisturizer! It smells nice and I don’t hate pink. Then she gave me one of these speaches “I’m not like most girls, I hate pink I love football I play violent video games I love horror, I guess you wouldn’t understand. Guys love having me around I’m one of the lads”.

She also reminds me of this girl I used to be friends with. She was absolutely childish! Whenever I used to share pictures on my Facebook timeline of an outfit that I find really cute or pictures of eyeshadow palettes that I want. She would comment really offensive s**t like, “Ewwww that is for sluts! I’m a tomboy, I’m so much better than these other girls.” I got really annoyed with the comment that I given her a piece of my mind and told her to get lost. She started crying to her boyfriend and they both ganged up on me. Pathetic!

That’s awful! Why on earth would she comment that? If she didn’t like it she could have just scrolled past it’s not like the make up is gonna jump out the screen and apply itself to her. The last part reminds me of another pet peeve though.

Exactly. I don’t know what the f**k is her problem, she has no right for belittling me for what I like and how I live my life (she was belittling me for losing weight for myself in a healthy & safe way by going to the gym often) and she tried to guilt trip me saying that I’m giving her an eating disorder when that was the other way round since she always talks about certain junk food that I can’t stand. I found it ironic af that she was crying about how much weight she gained, came to me for advice, I tried giving safe weight loss advices and then she threw it back in my face. Why on earth ask me in the first place?

Oh man, I hate it when people gang up on me for no freaking reason. When I tore them down, they both started acting like primary school kids. Bloody ridiculous!

I hate it when people complain about not having enough money the whole time in a dicussion but at the same time are buying a ps4 or something like that. Whatever you do with you’re money is you’re problem but can you then stop complaining about how hard you’re life is all the time and stop begging me for money? thank you!

This is gonna be super long so let’s do this:

Eating loudly
The only foods you should eat loudly are crisps and popcorn don’t @ me

WhY ArE yOu So QuIet?/You should talk more/Why don’t you talk + Other BS
Firstly, because I’m quiet because I am. Secondly, you’d never ask a chatty person “why are you so loud?” Thirdly, none of you wants to listen when I talk anyway. Lastly, some of you talk way too much but you don’t see me complaining :woman_shrugging:t5:

Walking slow
Moooovvvvvvveeeee

Stopping in the middle of the street
Please don’t do this in London of all places!

“Get Spotify Premium!”
No.

When you get guilt-tripped into changing your decision
What’s the point of saying that I can choose between A or B and then get mad when I pick A? You gave me a choice!

Guilt-tripping in general
A good chunk of secondary school outside of lessons was “Why aren’t you coming on the _____?” It’s a choice to go or not and I chose not to. It’s not that hard to understand. I especially hated hearing it from people I never spoke to. You never cared about my existence before so what’s new this time? It doesn’t matter that other people are going, I should go for myself, not for you. Take your manipulation somewhere else please.

Being made fun of but it’s “just a joke”
I’m sorry but if I’m just standing there, not laughing, not smiling, not saying anything and clearly not happy then it’s not a joke. It’s insulting.

When teachers pick on their students
How sad do you have to be to direct your insecurities and personal issues towards literal children because you’re miserable in your adult life?

Forced positivity
People get sad sometimes. Let them be sad. Bottling it up makes it worse.

When people assume my emotions
If I say that I’m fine when you ask if I’m okay, it’s not an invitation to keep asking until I reveal my “true” emotions or for you to say “But you’re not really!” If I wanted to tell you I would have done so the first time but I didn’t for a reason.

“I’m not racist/sexist/homophobic but…”
But nothing. Next!

When I’m judged for WHAT I’m eating and HOW I’m holding it
If it’s eating loudly I get it because it’s a noisy distraction but how petty are you for judging specific foods? And how I’m holding it too? I didn’t wake up super early, go through lengthy and dull lessons just to hear your irrelevant opinion in my ONLY 1 hour break. I’m here to eat so that’s what I’m gonna do.

When people spit on the ground
Gross.

When people argue with the bus driver and it causes a delay
I just want to get to my destination. Please… just…

Being touched (ESPECIALLY by people who I barely know/don’t know that well)
Stay. Away. From. Me.

When people take kindness for granted
Just because I gave you a pencil once it doesn’t now mean I owe you all my stationery (which I bought myself) every time you’re too lazy to ask someone else.
