Pet Peeves?

[meatnog]

So, today talking to Josh I enumerated my pet peeves. The really big red, shiny, candylike button ones. The kind guaranteed to make you angry in a picosecond and it takes genuine willpower not to go postal

similar to "calm down"...

people telling me i'm getting angry/mad when i'm not (i'm usually just frustrated) makes me immediately furious.

Re: similar to "calm down"...

Yeah, that's my "Calm down" peeve. It is ALWAYS said when I'm not actually mad.

The immediate one that jumps to mind it the patronizing - pat, pat "don't you worry your pretty little head about that". Not always stated in those exact words, but when that's the intent, I have a hard time keeping my cool.

[meatnog]

Yeah, that one is annoying! Not in my top 4, but it is in the top 10.

First one that jumps into my head is people telling me to smile. Even if I'm having a fine day and don't happen to be grinning at that precise moment, it can make me completely pissed off instantly. Then I really won't smile.

Also in no particular order:

- Repetitive noises that grate on my nerves.
- People who take personal offense to a polite request.
- Willful ignorance.

also add to this:

- People who walk really slow in groups and take up the entire path in a narrow corridor.

1) Gum chewers that smack their gum around their mouth.
2) Cursing vociferously and frequently in public.
3) People that feel the need to make personal comments to others - it really pisses me off when people think it's okay to comment about how little I must eat because I'm stick-thin, or how I speak English without an accent.
4) Tactlessness.

Oh, one more - people that always have to have the last word, or turn every conversation into an argument.
