  • My top three pet peeves: people who brag about being busy, not replacing light bulbs, and soggy bread. What are your top three pet peeves? Comment to let me know!

  • Three peeves: drivers who speed up when you’re merging, soggy cereal, and loud slurping drinks.

  • I get annoyed by mumbled speech, people who overshare online, and cluttered phone notifications.

  • Biggest pet peeves: people who never ask questions back, sticky hands on everything, and left-behind socks.

  • Top three: repeating myself, shallow talk during serious moments, and people who dismiss my concerns.

  • Slamming Doors, Walking Texters, and Freezer Neglect

    My irritations: slamming doors, people who text while walking, and when someone leaves the freezer open.

  • Three annoyances: loud swallowers, messy desks, and people who say “I was just joking” after being rude.

  • Notes, Nails, and Assume

    I hate passive-aggressive notes, chewing nails, and when people assume they know my schedule.

  • Shows, Salespeople, and Counters

    My irritations: squeaky shoes, aggressive salespeople, and wet countertops.

  • Top three: people who refuse to learn your name, warm soda, and when my bed is not made at bedtime.
