What are your pet peeves?

Current pet peeve: Girlfriends that ask me to answer questions/do favors (take a picture of x product if you can, please!) when that information is readily available on the internet.

FFS.
 
Forums that have Category Police. You know, folks that divine you are wrong for posting in the X or Y forum- when in their view its clearly Z. They deserve a week's ban.
 
People who use emojis. How the hell can I discern their meaning?!! There are many thousands. It’s worse than trying to learn Chinese. We have a brilliant language. We can say ANYTHING with just 26 letters. Don’t dumb up and confuse our language.

Yeah... I was reminiscing about some of them.

It does bum me out a bit when folks I like either move on or just kind of lurk. <- Is that a pet peeve? :laughing

Life goes on though.

Pet Peeve....people that say "Hot Water Heater". It is a damn Water Heater. There is no need to heat hot water. Also, the word Height. It is pronounced Height not Heighth. I could go on (cough....Leftists on the Freeway...cough) but it would end up a very long post.
 
Pet peeve. People in the left lane who never move over.

OCD. Things need to line up. Screws in switch plates and outlet plates need to be vertical.

Referring to the helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots as "gears". "I always wear my gears when I ride"

What, you don’t wear a motorcycle transmission with gears 1-5/6 when you ride?

Nerd.

OCD: Cleanliness in the kitchen. you put raw chicken on that cutting board? it better get washed right now.
 
People that are knowingly or unknowingly inconveniencing the people around them.

OCD: correctly loading the dishwasher
 
Peeves (pets are nice):

Just because you are loud and obnoxious, have the gift of gab and/or prose does not make you an authority or an interesting person.

Not using directional signals; stopping in the middle of the street to look up an address or consult your phone when there is free space to pull over.

OCD:

Organizing bank notes by denomination in ascending order, face side and top up and doing the same with your SO's bank notes.
