People who think the right thing to do when getting off an escalator is to stop and stand still.

Restaurants with 8 different flavors of soda, only one of which is diet.

Unflushed toilets.

People who are habitually late (and unapologetic for it).

The cost of test strips.

Your's does this too?

Mine will not hush until she has food in her bowl. Regardless if she wakes at 3 am or 8 am. There's no sleeping in for her!

my own idiosyncrasies are my pet peeves :P

I will let my feet freeze before I put on socks that don't match
I hate when my sheets don't match along with my pillow cases
But I never want to match my comforter to my sheets nor my curtains to anything else in fact direct color conflict is what I want in these things.
I hate patterns on fabric

I drive myself nuts not much of anything that anyone else does drives me nuts..I am sure I drive my DH nuts though since he cares nothing of the things I drive myself nuts for.

So I am peeved at myself :)
be well and be loved

This thread is fun. I love reading all these; I agree with most and am guilty of a few (not changing the toilet paper roll XD)!

Some more:

- People who don't bother to park within the lines. Can't believe I forgot this the first time around, as it's near the top.

- Windows updates that require you to restart.

- Ridiculous web ads (such as the ones that show a fat stomach on one side and a thin version on the other...of an entirely different person).

The stomach one bugs me too. Plus, why don't more photos of stomachs have a pump insertion set decorating them? When I contemplate my navel, that's what I see!

When people steal pens from my desk!
When I leave pens on another persons desk! (you know you're never getting it back!)

this one is against myself....
not being able to say no and being taken advantage of.

When someone stands in front of the stationery cupboard and asks me to put something in an envelope for them. This literally entails me stopping work, getting up and asking them to move so that I can get the envelope from the cupboard, and then asking them to move again so that I can put it in the mail box. Do it yourself you lazy git!

People who refuse to learn how to use technology and instead require others to do it for them on a daily basis.

People who drink too much and/or are horribly drunk.

People who don't take care of people that you lend them.
