Everyone has a pet peeve or two right? For example, is it really that hard to say please and thank you? Or how about being on time for once? Oh it is… well shoot. Through gritted teeth, I have constructed the ultimate list of weird and true pet peeves.

Students who ask too many freaking questions.

Alright friends, let’s be real this one is out of control. Especially because chances are the professor’s answer will be “check the syllabus.” I not once but twice had class with this girl who asked a question on average probably like every 8 minutes or so (yes that’s a made up statistic, roll with it). For real though, homegirl was asking questions for the sake of hearing her own voice. Even the professor gave her dirty looks when she raised her hand it was so bad. UGH.

LOUD EATERS

Yes the title had to be in all caps just like your eating apparently is. SERIOUSLY YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE EATING NAILS WITH A SIDE OF BROKEN GLASS.

Using your/you’re and there/their/they’re incorrectly

I would like to start a petition to make this the determining factor on if kids can leave grade school-- put this on the exit exam people. Nothing irks me more than when someone tells me “your going to…” No no no stop yourself right there buddy boy. I am about to start twitching even writing this.

The worst thing ever happened to me with one of my ex-boyfriends. I was asking him how his sports practice went, and I kid you not, he told me “are coach” instead of "our coach." WHAT. No wonder college wasn’t for him.

Mouth breathers and close talkers

I. like. My. bubble. This includes a sound bubble. Unless you’re sick or working out please do not let me hear you breathing from 5 feet away. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy you’re alive, just be alive more quietly please and thank you.

Toilet paper that is facing the wrong way.

If this is one of your pet peeves you will know EXACTLY what I am talking about. I’m not sure why there is not a universal standard on which direction toilet paper should be facing, but let’s get our act together, okay?

Besides those main annoying as all get-out pet peeves, here is a list of funny and oh-so-true pet peeves from GetAnnyoed.com…

Sick people who cough near you.

People that pop and smack their chewing gum.

People who invite you out somewhere then cancel.

Anyone – male or female- who says “We’re pregnant”. Are they sharing a uterus?

People who refer to themselves in the third person.

Overuse of the words like and um.
