Top 10 Biggest Household Pet Peeves

1. Kicking Things in the Dark

   What a horrible experience that leaves you cussing on the ground in pain! Most often, people step on kids' toys or kick baskets, stools, vacuum cleaners, or anything else.

   This is really bad. The pain is incredible, especially if you have bare feet. Your toes take the lot.

   Trip. OUCH! The only time I can find something is when I trip over it in the dark.

2. Dropping an Electronic Device on Your Face

   Startling, painful, and annoying! What a pain to drop your phone/iPod on your face, especially if it's heavy and large.

   This happens to me a lot, and it is super annoying.

3. Running out of Toilet Paper

   Whenever I'm on the toilet looking at the toilet paper dispenser and there's just a tube laying on the dispenser, I just run to the basement to get toilet paper. I know it's just damn gross, but I've been doing it since I was 4 years old.

   I agree. Especially bad in public toilets. I've learned to check for paper before I shut the door. Better late than never, I say!

   Humiliating, shocking, and just plain nasty.

4. TV Lagging

   Waiting FOREVER just so you can browse some channels and find a good program to watch. Especially during a false storm warning.

5. Printing Two Things on the Same Side of Paper

   Also a school pet peeve. So annoying. Worse in schools if they charge you for it.

6. Vacuum Cord Being Too Short

   I own a Eureka Whirlwind SpinDuster Upright Vacuum. Whenever I vacuum the rug in my living room, it seems to me that the cord is short. But I always get an extension cord from the shed and plug it into the cord that goes to my vacuum cleaner.

   So annoying when you are vacuuming and the cord is either bunched up or just too short, and the plug comes out of the socket.

7. Forgetting a Washcloth

8. Leaving the Freezer Open

   Don't you just hate it when your ice cream melts and your food spoils? But especially when your ice cream melts?

   Hate it when that happens! Especially during power outages.

9. Bowls and Cups Falling out of the Cabinet

   Broken china and food everywhere, especially annoying when keeping the pets away.
