Pet Peeves IV

[Ozymandias]

People with smug faces

Unnecessarily unpleasant comments to things on social media/ YouTube.

Celery, any food containing celery or that uses celery in any way or has been in the vicinity of celery.

Red Ties and the people who wear them.

I've been there. Probably due another one of those arguments soon.

we've all been there!

[matty_f]

Minute's applauses. Contentious issue, but we're at the point where I have no idea what/who they're for, why they're happening, or who has arranged them.


Also, the ****ing baked beans advert that has been on a thousand times on sky sports news today.

Replace celery with cucumber then i agree with you. Even the smell of it from miles away makes me feel sick

Inexcusable laziness in a partner.

Got in late last night after having to do a few bits and bobs post work to find Mrs PB sitting on her erse watching TV with no lunches made, a full washing machine needing emptied, no dinner made and dishes from beeakfast still waiting to be washed. When I questioned this I was told she 'was tired' and had 'been at work all day.'

I should probably point out that this isn't some 'a woman should know her place' post. I'm in first most nights, after being at work all day, and cook dinner for us 6 nights a week (it would be 7 but I visit my Grandad on a Thursday evening). I also usually prepare lunches for both of us every day we are working and generally take care of all the little household things before she gets home. I think because she doesn't see it there's a belief a fairy godmother or soneone does it.

Does my nut in especially when her powers of recall are such that she can remember the one time I left my boxers in the bathroom for an hour 4 years ago.

A huge annoyance for me as well! I also get in before my Mrs every day and do much of the housework before she gets home. She gets days off during the week occasionally where she'll stay in bed till noon then get up, laze about and make an even bigger mess of the house than it was before. When questioned, her excuse is also that she's been tired because of work, as if she's the only person on the planet who has to work. And of course i'm public enemy number 1 for not cleaning the bathroom (a chore that she does perhaps once every 2 months)

She's also a massive hoarder. We just had a new carpet fitted, which meant I needed to clear space on the floors. I went into our living room cupboard which to my horror had basically turned into a bin store for all of her old *****. Vcr's from when she was a child (despite the fact that we don't have a vcr machine and haven't for many years), old Christmas decorations that don't get used anymore, old household ornaments. I almost hit the roof.... And thats not to forget the massive shoe collection she has. Shoes that she hasn't even considered wearing in over 5 years, but still keeps them.

People who have an opinion on absolutely everything. Quite a few on here actually

I've been there too but it's me on the receiving end of the accusations all the time. :-(

Those that have the opinions on everything that go into a total over-reactive rage when someone disagrees with them.

Tuna and cucumber or sweetcorn. No, just a Tuna mayo sanny please.

[Scouse Hibee]

Mayo on sandwiches, a pointless exercise.

[IrnBru22]

People that park in cycle lanes.

The ammount of potholes at Leith street/Elm Row, cycling down it is a nightmare.

Cycle lanes and the lack of potholes that injure/discourage cyclists 😉

Calm down pal. It was a joke comment on a light hearted thread. No need for that.

A new pet peeve for me - people that take things on the Internet too seriously and revert to name calling.

Cartons of fresh orange that have that "push down" plastic opening mechanism. They make it hard to take a sneaky swig from the fridge without it all dribbling down your face and onto your clothes.

100%. I'm currently boycotting the graft canteen due to their insistence in polluting the tuna with Sweetcorn!!!

Speaking of work - People who dither about when walking in front of you reading their phone/talking to a colleague in the most stupid places i.e. the middle of a narrow corridor, on the stairs, the top/bottom of stairs or right next to a doorway!!! Then after apparently being totally oblivious to the fact that someone in a busy office building may want to get passed and use the stairs.. they just look at you as if you're not important enough for them to apologise to/acknowledge!!!!

English Tennis commentators.

Beards and the increasing number of young guys who are being fashionable by growing a daft looking unkempt bush on their faces.

[Pete]

Patronising messages on these digital signs above motorways.

WEAR SEATBELTS IT IS THE LAW - Aye, cheers dad I never knew that.

CAUTION FOG - Again, I would never have realised it was foggy if you hadn't told me.

DONT DRIVE TIRED THINK OF OTHERS - get lost. Have you tried sleeping in a car?

DONT TAKE DRUGS AND DRIVE - well I was going to but I'm not going to bother now.
