What are some of your pet peeves?
Adryanna - When people (especially my husband) leave cabinets and drawers open. Just...close them. It’s not hard! Also, being told that bugs are more afraid of me than I am of them. You cannot convince me that’s true.
Amanda - Racism, sexism, nastiness, anything that people think they are justifying their rude behavior by blaming it on the difference between people. It’s something that gets under my skin a lot. I love diversity - just imagine if we were all exactly the same. How boring!
Brandon - Not. Using. A blinker! People of Florida, it’s not hard! It takes a literal second to let me know your driving intentions.
Brittany - Rude people. I have a long list and will just leave it at that.
Debi - My biggest pet peeve is people touching my stuff without permission. My brother would always fiddle with my knickknacks when he would talk with me, and he wouldn’t even realize he was doing it. I would take it from him, and he would pick up something else and fiddle with that until I was ready to strangle him.
Ilona - Pet peeves? Well, there are certainly a few. Being bullied if I have a difference of opinion about something. Useless hand dryers in washrooms, where paper towels would actually get my hands dry, plus can use them to open the door. The music selection on phone calls where you are put on hold. Or inane messages about products, services and how I can go to a website. And children screaming in cafes just as I am about to take a well deserved mental-health break.
Jay - This question. Kidding! I really don’t enjoy how hard it can be to kick myself into writing gear, sometimes. Like dreaming up a story is EASY, but actually ordering it? Writing it down? Gluing yourself to a chair so you come back day after day? The constant effort I can deal with, so I am my pet peeve, in that I won’t stay seated until the story has come to a complete stop. Douglas Adams, I hear you!
Kieran - I’ve worked in retail, and that really helps make you neurotic. Pick up your trash, people. Put things back where you found them. Tidy up after yourself a bit. Don’t just leave that jeans display in a big disheveled pile, now I have to spend the next half hour folding those again. Stuff like that.
Laura - My biggest pet peeve and people thinking they can take advantage of you just because you work in a retail environment. I’ve spent the better part of eight years working retail, and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve wanted to just walk away from a customer who thought they were in the right, when they weren’t.
Serena - People being unnecessarily mean, bullying of any kind.
Online 'help desks' where you never actually get any help!
Vicky - Open mouth chewing. Food scraps in the sink and/or dirty or cold dishwater. This feels like it’s turning into a “what grosses you out the most” question. But it’s true!
