What’s something that really annoys you?
Slow walkers? People who chew loudly? Terrible drivers?
Some people are oddly specific in their list of pet peeves. They may despise things kids playing loudly on iPads or people who crowd them at the grocery store.
After reading the reasoning behind these 19 annoyances, your eye might start to twitch at these things, too.
People who always line up first for food at the office “Lunch and Learns.”
This is when a company treats its employees to lunch in exchange for their time.
This Redditor has found that the same four or five people always line up first for the food, taking tons and not leaving enough for everyone else.
People who have conversations in doorways.
“Two people were talking on the stairs a couple of days back. When I squeezed by, one of them said: ‘excuse me?!’. I fantasized of pushing them down at that moment.” – u/Jochiebochie
When kids’ iPads are on full volume in public places.
“The repetitive sound of mobile games, the same 1 minute piece of music repeated on an endless loop. All the while their parent is on the phone gossiping about their neighbors or some [expletive].” – u/deleted
People who slow down the left-hand lane.
Ugh, the WORST.
They know that it’s the passing lane (and the lane where people drive a little faster than normal), yet they decide to go 60 in an 80 km zone?!
The sound of people eating.
“I love my sister to death but she chews with her mouth open and breathes heavily while she eats. Like when people make the exaggeration that someone ‘inhales’ their food, that’s her, that’s my frigging sister.” – u/terminallyamused
People who crowd your personal space at the grocery store.
“When I’m in the grocery store and someone decides they wanna look at what I’m looking at while I’m looking at it. Like can you just pretend to look for something else until I’m gone, like everyone else does?” -u/NerveConductionPuppy
People who walk in the street instead of on sidewalks.
Drivers get most irritated at this. While it’s understandable to walk in the street in the wintertime, doing it during the summer when there is a perfectly good sidewalk available isn’t cool.
Repeatedly saying someone’s name when telling them to hurry.
“Call my name once if you want me. Call my name repeatedly and tell me to hurry up while I’m going as fast as I can and I will get irrationally enraged.” – u/terminallyamused
Overly loud motorbikes.
“Yes I understand it may keep you heard on the road, but you’re a [expletivbe] tool and it’s a direct extension of your [expletive] Neighbour wakes me up every d**n morning.” -u/FrenchFiddle
People whose social media posts consist solely of diet and exercise stuff.
Good for you for taking care of yourself!
But, as this Redditor pointed out, not everyone wants to see your recipe for keto cauliflower ‘mac’ and cheese. “If I wanted to make keto mac and cheese I would google it.”
When people tap you on the shoulder.
“I can’t [expletive] stand it, and some people really just like to DIG their finger in. Say my name if you know me, say ‘excuse me’ or ‘miss’ or whatever if you don’t- there’s no need to touch me and certainly no need jam your pointy little fingers into my shoulder.” – u/Lucy_Koshka
Squiggly wavy fries.
“I love fries in general but when I see them I refuse to put my mouth anywhere near it I just hate everything about it and when I think about what it will taste like I feel like it’ll taste terrible and soggy so yeah squiggly fries.” – u/ChloeLovesMango
Delivery people who make you sign a paper receipt after you paid for your food online.
This Redditor pays online to avoid unnecessary contact with the delivery driver.
So she finds it gross to not know what kind of germs he’s carrying while taking her food inside.
People who stop in the right lane at a stop light and aren’t turning right.
“This is a particularly [expletive] move when that intersection is a major intersection, or leads to an interstate on-ramp.” – u/deuteranopia
Anyone, SO or pet, trying to cuddle when your trying to fall asleep.
“I’m just one of those people. If something/someone is touching me, I can’t fall asleep and start to feel like I can’t move.” – u/deleted
Exclamation points.
This person believes that they should be used sparingly and for something that’s worthy! Not every other sentence! So, if you don’t know how they should be used, don’t use them! Got it?!
People eating super fast.
“I’m Korean American and Koreans like to finish meals at the same time whenever they eat together, so I get stressed and kind of disgusted when someone around me eats super fast.” – u/dollymyfolly
When people leave an unnecessarily large gap in front of them at a traffic light.
“If you are in the far left lane doing that, you can often cut people off from being able to make a light because they are being blocked from even entering the turn lane.” – u/deleted
When people start eating their food while they’re in line at a buffet.
“The fact a person can’t wait 10 freaking seconds to get back to their table before gorging themselves is pretty pathetic.” – u/davey_mann
