2Not Washing Hands After Using the Restroom

this is extrememly disgusting! I know someone who has the nerve to use the bathroom and not wash her hands, then continues on to the kitchen to eat, touch other people, and touch objects in the house (such as doorknobs, the refrigerator, ect). I wash my hands EVERY TIME I use the bathroom!

this annoys me but screamin ass children make me mad as well

C-BEAR

In my thinking, it is essential to protect our health except for unpredicted situation...

3Bitchy Schoolgirls

God they're annoying. This one girl at school thinks everything is 'weird' and all I said was 'hey' and she said 'its that weirdo again'. I'm gonna shout at her when I hear her next time saying that, don't care who else hears it, she and schoolgirls LIKE THAT in general are annoying.

PotBellyPup

You are not prettier than us, and you are CERTAINLY not smarter than us, so get over yourselves!

A girl in my class has gotta be the bitchiest of them all. I cannot stand her. But then again, I really don't care for her at all. And I wanna say: I think she wants me to join her. I refuse to. She's my enemy... And I'm just using the title, not trying to vulgar. Anyway, here's a tip for everyone out there who might be getting bullied from this type of person:

IGNORE THEM. They will go insane. And if you can't do that, just look at them like they're really stupid or give them the evil eye. Or you can just curse them off, which I do NOT recommend in school.

4Movie talkers

I can't stand people who constantly ask questions and yell out unnecessary comments during a movie... that just pisses me off.

Celestius

Here are some examples:

When Watching a Comedy: *points* HAHA THATZ FUNNY DEHHHH

When Watching a Drama: OMIGOD ITS LIKE SO SAD!

Shut the frack up already.

arbeZameniC

god, they think they are so legit and funny

5Screaming children/ temper tantrums

c'mon, I never would have gotten away with throwing a fit like that in public, or if I was too young to know better, they would have taken me outside, end of story.

Learn how to raise a kid and keep your demon spawn under control. Nobody wants to hear your offspring throwing a temper tantrum, and it makes you look bad. NOW SHUT THE THING UP!

Yes, control your offspring!

6Global Warming Propaganda

In the 1970's it was the coming Ice Age. So much hysteria. So little evidence.

If I hear one more weatherman talk about proof of global warming every time the temperature gets above 90, I'm gonna scream.

That is so true. They cannot even predict the weather. Let alone know trying to tell us about Global Warming. The more intelligent some people think they are the more stupid they become.

7Putting others down

those elitist who criticizes person in their back, because of jealousy, they don't want somebody to be higher to them. I don't care if u're famous or not, have money, etc. but talking in the back, spreaking rumors about that person I wanna kill them all. They think that they are right.

ronluna

It's like some people don't like to be in good mood what's worse? They like kill your buzz. Like my elder sister I tell her so excited "I mate this guy we're having such a good time" she be like "ya have been there it's only for a while you will separate soon" what the hell?

For Real! "Hey mom guess what? I just went to Church and made new friends! "
Mom- "that's nice, your dog just peed on the floor, have to go"

8Overuse of the Word Actually

I actually do actually believe what you are actually saying without you actually having to qualify it with the word actual.

It's probably my number 1 current hate. It's use seems to be increasing all the time. Some people seem to use it almost every sentence.

As you say it's increasing all the time and everybody just joins in this ridiculous trend without a second thought. Do they all think they sound intellectual or something by saying it ALL the time? Instead they just sound stupid, which is a shame because if it is a lecturer or somebody you should be listening to, it becomes impossible to dilate any meaning when every sentence is punctuated in this way. The word becomes completely meaningless and is easily my number one pet hate.

9Thugs

News Flash, being a "thug" is not "cool" anymore, pull up your pants.

I agree I hate people like this all they do is lagg around the skate park talk crap

Skate4life

Hate them. They act big, and they act low lives even thought they aren’t. Not having them around would make thos world a lot more of a better place no doubt in my opinion. They don’t intimidate me but I just don’t like thugs.

10Bad Service at a Resturaunt

hate that or when they are in a horrible mood so they put it out on you

That is also one of my biggest pet peeve, especially when they looks down upon me and my family just because we are Deaf. I mean, just because we are Deaf doesn't mean they have the right to ignore us... We are human as everyone else are.

The Contenders

11Cell Phone Drivers

If you pass someone on the freeway going 50-55 in a 65-75 mph zone, swerving in and out of the boundaries of their lane, you can just about bet they are on a cell phone!

Talking on cell phone while driving is rude ^^ dangerous. It is also arrogant; are you really so important and so busy that you have to make calls while you are driving?

Ugh.. I live in California and just recently it's ILLEGAL to talk on your phone and drive.

I hate it so much, it makes everyone a bad driver. Did you know your four times as likely to get into a crash when you talk and drive?

I honk at people I see doing it.

bigyellowtaxi

12People who post pet peeves on a forum page

I agree!
Get a life... Don't sweat the small things in life... Quit judging people...
Look in the mirror...

"Children" is right! Such babies who would 'kill' someone over a personal pet peeve.

Unfortunately everywhere you go in life.. you will find something that annoys the crap out of you. You know what my main 'pet peeve' is? People who complain about the littlest things in life instead of just moving right along. Have a great time fussing now, children. :]

13Smokers

What's worse is when they're flailing their arms while walking, with a smoke in their hand to boot! I fear for any exposed flesh, I don't relish the idea of big burn marks on my arms, thanks.

Even when they smoke just before boarding a
Means of mass transit such as train.

you smokers may kill someone!
oh, the smoke, I was about to almost vomit right away

14Parents telling us kids what to do or not to do

yeah if i want to play with the gasoline and lighter i will

I'm 15 and my mom still treats me like I'm nine.

Celestius

Oh, come on! Let us have a little freedom! God! I feel bad for a lot of kids-- my friend never even saw the Lion King.
'And if I want my room a mess, since you don't go in it, ma, lemme keep it like it is! ' If it's good enough for me, then let it be! And gosh, I really hate it when they say, "Clean your room"... It rubs me the wrong way.

15Poor Driving Etiquette

When traffic is congested and someone is gracious enough to allow you to merge in front of them, a simple wave to show appreciation is considered appropriate and polite. No wave is just plain rude! Completely annoying!

People who get in front of you when there are no cars behind you and then make a right hand turn forcing you to almost make a stop. That drives me crazy and people wonder why I won't let them in.

16Hypocrites

One time (not at band camp) a guy named Keegan was sharpening a mechanical pencil.
AND he called ME stupid.

"Eyehole deep in muddy waters... "-Maynard James Keenan

MegaToolica

It is so annoying how you see them at church and then you see them being a play boy. Then their parents think that their holy but when they go to sleep they don't know where they go.

you know I'm bad I know that, but the worse is you're pretending to be good but you're actually bad.

17The Jersey Shore Cast

They suck. Sad that they get paid a lot of money for being trash, while the rest of us struggle to get a job in this economy and have manners.

18People who ride their bikes in the road when a sidewalk is right there

hey bruh bruh this is an inadequite petpeeve bicyclists aren't supposed to ride on the sidewalks they are meant to ride on the street. it's a law in most states go read up.

Especially when the Speed Limit 45-65 mph. They are going 20 mph, if that fast; holding up traffic.

19Skinny jeans on men

I think should all just mind our own buisness. You'll never see me care about another man's jeans. Js.

SO TRUE! GIVE US NORMAL PEOPLE A BREAK. SHOOT GOOD GOD! 1

mcleish

20Sisters

they bug YOU ALL THE TIME

I hate them! Especially younger ones. I have a 9 year old sister and has this really ugly attitude. She throws a fit in public if she doesn't get what she wants. Its embarrassing for me. I'm the middle child. Once she was born, I was practically ignored after that. I was hardly ever around the house. I was at my friends house most of the day or at my cousins house. She was a spoiled little child. Out of my whole family she was the worst about it. I quit acting like I needed all the attention when I was 5 years old. So 7 years ago I quit acting like a spoiled kid. Unlike my other friends. Its a wonder how she has friends. Ehh I'm done ranting. Bye for now.

21Racist people that just see the color of the person, religion or what country they are from

the person who insults a person is less talented and important than the person who is being insulted.

ronluna

22Emo Bands

They are so annoying! I now avoid a fast food outlet in the city because of all the emos and scary looking people. CHEER UP GUYS!

flowerchild4eva

Well it's not really the bands but more of the people who cut their wrists and harm themselves for no reason. To me it's for their enjoyment or just for attention. It puts bad impressions for other people that like wearing all black or dying their hair. I find it retarded what some of these people do. Well I don't really know about the music styles they listen to but I know exactly how their lifestyles are.

Undertaker15-0

You are not punk, you are fairies in bad clothes. Get a life, and a job.

23Improper Use of the Word Ironic
24Arrogance
25Pompous Buisnessmen

You are not God, you do not run the world, thank you and have a nice day.

Here's to all the little people

26Celebrities claiming to be environmentalists.

I bet they do that for popularity and I hate it

27Anti Smoker People

Hitler was an Anti Smoker.

biscuits

28Liberals

don't like em especially liberal celebs!

29Brainless "environmentalist" groups

One out of every ten actually have the right idea. news flash, burning a lumber yard in protest of cutting down trees is not an environmentally healthy thing to do!

30Overuse of the Word Like

The Cally Valley Girl craze is over. Drop the "like" and learn to speak intelligent English.

i hate the fact that im from liverpool, the word "like" is used in every single sentence. it gets really irritating

Jeheffiner

and like i was like you know like walking and like it was like raining like so not like cool...haha learn to speak proper english! you dont sound cute at all,

31When people don't keep their big dogs on a leash

*let them run free in publicI am afraid of dogs! Not everyone thinks dogs are cute and loyal. Please respect other people and keep them on a leash when out in public walking them.

kimmay1990

Not everyone likes dogs and doesn't want them jumping up on them all the time. I especially hate it when people just tell their dogs to stop instead of physically moving the dog.

32People who give their kids weird names

arggggh, how many Fiarchas and Tristrams need to commit suicide before people get the message?!

Bec

33Bossy Leaders
34Big dogs at the small dog park

You may think your dog is little but maybe it isnt. If your dogs head is bigger than some peoples entire dog, it should be playing with the big dogs and not the little dogs. Certain exceptions could apply such as sick or senior dogs, but you know who you are.

mydawgz

35People who use the word "your" instead of "you're"

If you speak and write English, do it correctly. This and all other bad grammar are my biggest pet peeves.

36Asking Do what?
37Silverware scraping flatware
38Brothers

The race of immature, smelly, dumb, gross pain in the butt-ness

39Really thick eyebrows

It makes me want to RIP THEM OFF

Velilana

40Dropping an f bomb on every sentence you use.
41Nuisance yappy or barking dogs
42People who say It's always in the last place you look. Of course, you dont keep lookin after you found it

haha you should watch lee evans, he does a piece on this... hilarious!!

Jeheffiner

43People who leave their blinkers on

OMG! I saw an old man one time keep his blinker on going 70 on the freeway for like 5miles then we turned away:(

7beach77

44Angry Teens who whine about their parents telling them what to do.

I WOULD NOT CALL THIS A PET PEEVE. I WOULD CALL THIS LESSONS LEARNED. AT LEAST YOU HAVE A PARENT WHO CARES SO GET OVER YOURSELVES. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU LISTENED WHEN YOU GROW UP.

45Teens that think they're 30 and tell their peers that they are being "immature"
46Right wing conservatives with their anti-Obama propaganda

It's mean-spirited, hateful... in America, he is OUR president, for ALL of us.

47Stay at home mothers

When your kids are old enough to go to school all day, "you are no longer staying home to raise your kids". Its time to turn off the TV and get off the couch. Those of us that work and volunteer, can somehow manage to raise kids, do laundry and go to the store everyday without whining.

48Guys Who Date Three Girls at Once
49Fat women wearing skinny women's fashions
50Calling an individual soldier a troop

Look it up a troop is a group not an individual.

51People who can't wait to file a lawsuit in order to get rich quick
52Infomercials

I hate exaggerations and lies aimed to the general public. Not all people are sucking their thumbs (meaning not all people are stupid).

stop trying to sell things that i dont want!

53The naming of celebrity couples
54People who ask Who? after every-time you tell them the person you're talking about.

It's so annoying. It's like they act so stupid that they don't even know what you're talking about when the fact is that they're so retarded.

afeldman21

55People who demand tolerance...that is!, ironic
56When people get grilled not crispy

Why would anyone EVER do that? Crispy tastes a LOT better! If you're gonna eat a burger... It's already fattening might as well make it taste good!

57Parents who complain about kid's shows

This annoys me because I feel that if you hate something so much why are watching it or even doing it. If it's for kids, then of course you will not be entertained by it. I, mean, I despised sesame street as a kid and still do. But, I don't watch it.

58Nose Picking
59People who can't keep a text conversation going

That's about 97% of Americans. Here's a little tip. Holding a conversation does not mean rambling on about one topic for twenty minutes. Pick a new topic after the first twenty seconds! Be random. Be irrelevant. It's all right!

Every text is either "k" or "yeah" and you have nothing to say back

60When people get their belly button pierced
61Being ignored

I make a real effort to remember the names of people I am introduced to. It annoys me to no end when people don't do the same. Especially people I have to deal with every day. They say "Excuse me" to get my attention or point to me when directing someone my way. And yet they acknowledge everyone else around me.

62Pointing at your wrist when asking for the time

I know where my watch is. Where's yours? Do I point at my crotch when asking for the bathroom?

63Anti-smoking groups/commercials

-1they often say the completely irrelevant and the people who look shocked are just too dumb to realize that

64Eating In My Bed and Leaving Crumbs

haha i do that, but i do it in my own bed so if theres crumbs i can only be annoyed at myself

Jeheffiner

my kids do this all the time, cookies,crackers, whatever...I HATE IT!

65When there are no spoons at fancy resturants
66People who miss their lips while putting on chapstick

Oh man, c'mon it's not like you can't see or feel them!

I hate it!

67Fascists Pretending to Be Republicans

Nothing worse than a fascist calling themselves Republicans when all they are in simple terms is a radical bent on gaining and abusing power.

68Busy Signals
69Calling It Nail Paint

It drives me crazy when women say they are painting their nails. Doesn't it sound better to polish your nails? You paint your house and you polish your nails.

mydawgz

70When people pick their scabs in front of you
71Perpetual motions like twiddling thumbs, bobbing foot
72When people ask if you're ok when you are obviously not.
73Public spitting

For goodness sake use tissues if you have to spit especially after that phlegmy cough.

74Driving slow in the the fast lane
75Improper Use of the Word "technically"

Technickly I don't know! Bye and its innoying to me! Don't be judgmental because I am my own persone in my own way! Bye.. Again!

76When people ball their napkin and put it on their plate
77When you're eating something healthy and someone asks if you're on a diet

Haha yeah this one is annoying. Shows how pathetic most people's eating habits are.

78Judgmental People
79People that constantly refer to their girlfriend as "my girlfriend" when you already know her name
80When teachers don't realize you have a life
81Waiting in long lines
82Stage 5 clingers
83Being just plain dumb
84When someone's hood is inside out
85Yards that run down a neighborhood
86People who "have" to curse after every other word
87When parent's know that their kid doesn't know how to order at a fast food restaurant and have them order anyway
88Ignorant People
89Facebookers

People who put their whole day on facebook like someone actually cares, then they get the cursing out someone without using their name it's like, can we know who you are talking about first...

90When your parents give you the talk.
91Getting Offended Over Cussing
92Crying Babies
93People that don't drink alcohol
94Party poopers
95When teachers blame you for things you didn't do and you are defenseless
96When people say "I seen"
