Pet Peeves That Push You Over The Edge

Not reloading the toilet paper holder is just one possible pet peeve...what's yours?

The old roll is gone. The new roll is right there. It's. Right. There.

Why, oh why, can't someone put it IN the holder?!?

That is just one of the pet peeves that annoy me.

These sounds make my skin crawl. I can't stand the slobbery slippery noises coming from the chewer's mouth. Others don't even notice it.

That is worse than the toilet paper situation. Everybody has a pet peeve. There are websites devoted to pet peeves like Get Annoyed.

What are yours?

Maybe it is people who state the obvious. Like, "It's always the last place you look." No kidding. Why would you keep looking if you've found it?

Maybe it's the flick, flick, flick of your spouse flossing their teeth. Loudly.

Don't let me suffer alone here. I can't be the only one. I'm just askin'...what pet peeves make you insane?

(And for Pete's sake, put the toilet paper where it belongs.)
