Top 10 Biggest Pet Peeves

Seems there are too many programs on TV where people are eating and talking with their mouths full, chewing, mumbling, and rattling fast food wrappers as they gobble the grub. The great divide between rich and poor is, unfortunately, a serious reality, but good manners cost nothing.

These needless media-driven examples of stuffing gluttonously set a poor example for youngsters and disgust courteous people everywhere. Please, writers, discard these rude scenes from visibility. They really do not make any story more real in a valuable or constructive way!

They pull out in front of you and then drive 20 mph. You look in your rearview mirror, and there is not a car for miles! Also, the sign says 'Lane closed ahead, merge,' and the drivers wait until the last second. If everyone would keep moving and let every other car in, there would not be a backup of traffic for miles! It's the people who think they are better and deserve to be in front of everyone that cause the backup.

I would say that buses are one of those slow drivers. They don't drive poorly because their job is to pick up passengers, and I totally understand. But whenever I encounter them, they really annoy me. I have to wait until almost every car behind me in the left lanes passes over, and then I can get around them. Such a waste of time!

My brother has tantrums all the time over trivial matters. I get scratched, bitten, hit, and more constantly because of them. It's more dangerous and hurtful than annoying. My brother has a high-pitched scream, so when he screams (again, almost constantly), it hurts my ears. I also have a fear of the police coming around because of the noise and maybe accusing my mom of child abuse (which she would never even think of doing. My mom is perfect with protecting and looking after me, my sister, and my brother). I guess it'll be more annoying than hurtful and fearful when the child isn't a relative of yours, though.

Bad grammar drives me nuts, especially the incorrect usage of words and unnecessary apostrophes. It's particularly infuriating when such errors occur in business or published articles. I swear, no one seems to proofread anymore!

However, the most amusing situation is when someone is ranting in a "comments" section, such as on YouTube, and they call others "stupid" and "idiots," yet their entire post is filled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Responding to such a comment is redundant since they are already showcasing their profound ignorance.

I was maybe 5 or 6 years old and with my best friend. She went to the bathroom and came out. I didn't hear any water noises, so I asked, "Did you wash your hands?" She replied, "We don't wash hands in this house." I said, "What? Eww. Gross."

Not washing your hands after you use the bathroom is so gross! I mean, you literally wipe yourself, and it probably gets on your hands. Then you just touch your friend's hair with those hands? Gross!

This is extremely disgusting! I know someone who has the nerve to use the bathroom and not wash her hands, then continues on to the kitchen to eat, touch other people, and touch objects in the house such as doorknobs and the refrigerator. I wash my hands EVERY TIME I use the bathroom!

This is why I decided not to marry a girl who attended my secondary school. I would rather marry a girl who went to school in Asia for 12 years straight. She can live abroad, but only for 1 year. If she moved to the US, Australia, Canada, or anywhere outside of Asia and settled there permanently before the age of 18, then she's out. Prom and homecoming don't exist in Asian schools. I do not regret not attending any of the school parties.

The majority of secondary schools go from grades 10 to 12. When I was in school, girls often drooled over any boys they found interesting. They also bragged about popularity often.

I received a lot of unwanted attention back when I was in secondary school. That's all in the past. I used to know this type of girl. She got into trouble many times. Now I don't see her anymore. Nowadays, I have decided to distance myself from any girls who attended my schools.

Once, someone forgot to put on deodorant, and he ended up stinking up the classroom. He smelled like a combination of farts, rotting flesh, onions, moldy cheese, and sweat squeezed from smelly socks. Everyone thought that someone had farted.

Have your bath properly every day and stop relying on deodorant alone. Scrub your armpits, don't merely slide your sponge around. Thoroughly wash your lower body, please!

Once I went to a shop, and at the self-serve, someone smelled absolutely awful. It smelled like a sweaty trucker who rolled in farts and dead bodies.

There is no reason you should be on your phone while driving! If someone is calling you, put them on speaker and put your phone down or talk to them later. If they're texting you, respond using Siri. If you don't have Siri since I know there are a lot of non-Apple users out there, again, text them when you're done driving! Nothing is important enough for innocent people and kids to die or get injured, and nothing is important enough for their families to have to go through the pain of losing someone they love because you were too irresponsible to put your phone down for a few minutes. Seriously, it's not going to kill you if you aren't on your phone for 20 hours a day!

What I hate is that they do it in public, where there are children and babies who certainly don't want to get poisoned by the awful fumes. That's why you have a smoking area. My advice is: if you see someone smoking, don't pinch your nose but hold your breath until you are away from the smoker.

Listen, if you want to smoke, that's fine. I'm not one to try to make someone's decisions for them because people like that annoy me to no end, but please have a little bit of decency and don't do it around other people. Even though they're not directly smoking, you're still putting them at risk. It's called secondhand smoking.

I detest people who litter, especially those who throw their trash right where a garbage can is visible. Why is it so hard to put the trash in the receptacle? And to throw something out of a moving vehicle just drives me crazy. I see this planet as shared by all of us, and I find it disrespectful for you to litter my home.

Please, parents, teach your children when they are young. It is also extremely dangerous for our wildlife. Oh, I could go on and on! But I know people who preach are someone else's pet peeve, so I will acknowledge and respect their choices. Just respect other people and please don't litter!

They suck. It's sad that they get paid a lot of money for being trash, while the rest of us struggle to get a job in this economy and have manners.

Yep, I totally agree. But what really pisses me off is that they still think they're gracious and lame, and there are still people watching them!

Ew. No. I can't stand them, their whiny voices, and their attitudes. I have never watched a full episode of Jersey Shore, but I know what it's all about.
