What is ONE thing that is a pet peeve or annoyance to you?

This is probably my biggest pet peeve.

Here's the scenario: imagine you're a day after a KILLER workout, and then the day after you run into some familiar faces on a trail. You don't notice each tree per se (2, 4, 5, etc.), but you keep with the group just to be with them. You can see them way ahead of you, and you're struggling to keep up, meanwhile your watch is telling you that you are going like 10 minute mile pace. You try to push the pace in the hopes they'll speed up, but you just can't reach the guy at the back -- he's just too far ahead.

From way back. +1

When obese people try to tell you how to live a "healthy" life. GTFO of here with that.

My ONE pet peeve is surprise and fear.

Actually, I have TWO pet peeves: surprise, fear, and ruthless efficiency.

Make that THREE pet peeves: surprise, fear, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

Never mind.

When people leave their shopping cars in the parking lot. Makes me want to puke it's such a pathetic display of laziness.

People in grocery stores who, when they grab something and later decide they don't want it, just toss it randomly on a shelf or even make the effort to hide it behind other product.

Back in the day, when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, I used to work at a grocery store. It was a Harris Teeter. The only part of my day I enjoyed was going outside to retrieve the stray carts. I used to LOVE it when someone would take the cart like half a mile away and leave it there.

Of course, I realize that most employees would not like this... I was later promoted to stocking shelves and nothing can describe the hate and loathing I had for people who would put things in the wrong places. As soon as you would have a shelf perfectly stocked and faced, some stupid fat lady would come along and push things around and turn the labels around and make a mockery of my work. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

High School summer jobs, man. What a rush.

honking

complete jerks honk in NYC but it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Just drives everyone crazy.

usually it is when a car is waiting for pedestrians to pass. The car behind him will honk. Drives me absolutely bonkers.

People who do not get the snow/ice off of the top of their car or truck before they drive somewhere.

Not only is it annoying but it is also illegal because it so dangerous. If you have ever seen snow flying off of a car or truck to the car behind it, you have seen an accident waiting to happen.

Second this! I was nearly killed by an ice sheet that sheered off a minivan. Cracked my windshield.

Folding doors.

Safety? That's funny.

People who back in, when it's time to pull out, they often just pull out....no warning, no back up lights to be seen. That's when it's dangerous. When people back out of parking spaces, not only do backup lights come on so you know what's happening, but they are more cautious.

I consult for several large insurers. The numbers strongly disagree with you.

It's called using your turn signal to indicate if you're turning L or R out of a parking spot bruh.

And looking where you go before going. And not driving erratically.

Absolutely this. I grew up with a dad that expected you move to immediately when he asked you to do something. As a result, I don't f*ck around when I'm walking, driving, working on a project, gardening, mowing grass...whatever.

Inevitably, I get stuck behind someone in the grocery store moving at about .25 mph. I just don't understand how people can move so slowly and accomplish anything.

I believe all of my pet peeves can be summed up as "People moving slow in front of me"

Having to hold all my grocery bags in one hand so I can unlock the door to my apartment...

people who pronounce it "expresso"

people who pronounce it "ex cetera"

A winning sports team who says "we overcame so much adversity this season, " but it is all of them.
