People who say 'I'm a vegetarian, but I eat chicken and fish'. What tree did the chicken grow on then? I've no problem at all with people who use the correct term (a pescetarian), but I can't stand the 'I'm a vegetarian but ...' crowd.

It also annoys me when people say 'I'm allergic to x,y or z' when they're not, they just don't like it. So many people pretending to have food allergies makes everyone take them less seriously, when a genuine food allergy is something very serious.

Oh dear. I used to get irritated because my converstions used to go "I'm a pescetarian" and they used to say "a what?" and you would have to explain, so now I just say "I am a vegetarian who eats fish", it's much easier and I personally don't need to be so pedantic about such things...and people that do annoy me!

Other pet hates are people who throw the pram/pushchair out into oncoming traffic when they want to cross the road. If they want to be so stupid then they sould turn around, put themselves at risk and pull the pram/pushchair behind them. Makes me :mad::mad:


and people who can't talk at a normal volume in cafes or restaurants and seem to dominate EVERY conversation in the vicinity...I wish I could switch them off!

That used to annoy me as well when I was a vegetarian. I knew one person who said she was a vegetarian and then started eating some meat (I can't remember which but I don't think it was chicken). I said "I thought you were vegetarian" and she said "well I don't like meat but I'll eat it if it looks good". Everyone got annoyed with me when I said that she wasn't a vegetarian then.

The other thing that used to annoy me was when people didn't take me seriously when I said I was vegetarian and said "Ok I'll just pick out the meat then" or even just gave me a meat meal. The meat has been there and therefore I can't eat it.

People who moan incessently about dog poop when they own a cat.

Apparently as cats can't be controlled I just have to accept that my vegetable bed is full of smelly cat faeces :mad:

I have to agree with so many of these!

I hate it when people say 'More better' and 'Most best' etc. No, it's just better or best!

I hate it how my OH is so uptight about me leaving my stuff lying around and makes a big fuss about putting it away for me but is quite happy to leave his kit bag on the bedroom floor, then throws his work clothes and clean washing on top 'till it's piled so high I can't get into the drawers or wardrobe... but I'm the messy one if I leave my wedding ring on the coffee table when I take it off to go to bed!

I also hate it when people say something nasty then laugh as if it dilutes the nastiness of the comment. It doesn't. It just makes you look like a !!!!!!.

Spitting on the pavement. It's disgusting! If you do cough up, how hard is it to spit it down a drain, rather than on the footpath where people will walk through it?

I have quite a few peeves, but some on here are quite ridiculous (sorry).

Handkerchief - sorry, it was here long time before paper tissues, there is nothing wrong with them. Just make sure they are clean.
As for blowing your nose - sorry, but having a runny nose sometimes happens. Much better then watching a person with snot streaming down their face or making that noise when you are forcing it back to the back of your throat!!! THAT is disgusting.

Diet coke at McDonalds - seriously? Someone can get peeved off by someone else ordering a diet coke?

Vegetarians who are not actually vegetarians, but bang on about being one. Just people who don't like the taste/texture/smell/idea of meat. When you say you are vegetarian I imagine you are taking stand for animals or something. That serving a meat will offend you. Not that you order prawn curry and eat chicken consome.

Even worse - vegetarians who go on about you eating meat. I respect your choice, have respect to mine.

People who don't like something go on about it, making faces and sometimes even saying "bleugh" even though you are just eating it. Some people do it repeatedly. I nearly killed my husband when I heard for the millionth time, provided with a face and bleugh that he hates ketchup, no tomatoes and all that vinegar (I loove vinegar), when I was putting a ketchup on my plate!!! Or someone mentioning McDonalds, even on TV and he starts going on about "how can someone eat McDonalds, blah blah blah blah blah". I have heard it so many times that I will rather say I cheated on him with another man then to tell him I've had McDonalds for lunch!! Just to avoid that tirade!!:-)))
And I do know my best mate doesn't eat crisps, I don't need a lecture every time someone mentions crisps.

Brought instead of bought.

Over using "so" and "like".

God I am grumpy today!!:-))

The thread is about your own pet peeves. What irritates some wont necessarily irritate others so calling them ridiculous is a bit silly isn't it.

You are right. I am sorry.
But that is normal reaction to something you find irritating. You find what I say irritating whilest I found very irritating for someone saying I am weird person for using hankershief. And disgusting if I use it in public.
