What's your weirdest pet peeve?

As I've gotten older, I find that less and less things annoy me.  One thing that USED to annoy me (but now just causes a mild eye roll) is when supposedly well educated people make grammatical errors.

I think that's my pet peeve, too.  In this country, we aren't required to know more than one language, unlike many other countries where everyone is fluent in 2 or more languages.  So we have one, and it really annoys me when we can't even get that right!

When people just step out in front of you in a crosswalk across a busy street, that has a "don't walk" signal, without even looking.

I'm kinda OCD so I have ALOT of pet peeves.  I have no idea what the "weirdest" would be.

Some of mine are:

I hate when people type slang, text speak, or incomprehensibly.  I need one at least one verb per sentance.  A sentance should have punctuation.   Even on the computer - in messages or e-mails.  Spelling things "different" just for the novelty (example: hawt instead of hot or kewl instead of cool) is just stupid. 

Walking around making nonsensical mouth noises drives me crazy.  I have four kids - they hum, make clicking noises, snort, and just wandering around making annoying noises.  Often.  I hate that.  Do not just wander around clucking your tounge on the roof of your mouth.  It's annoying.

Don't touch my stuff.  It's a big house.  There are alot of people who live here.  I only have two surfaces I use, MY desk and the coffee table in the TV room.  If I have paperwork there, leave it alone.  If you have paperwork that isn't for me, don't dump it on my desk.  I really, REALLY don't want your half finished homework dumped on my desk. 

If it's trash, put it in the trash.  You really don't have to set it on the counter, floor, or my desk.  Please, husband, quit using a kleenex and leaving a giant pile on the bed, floor and nightstand.  It's really not that hard to throw them away. 

Stop eating raw margarine.  It's gross.  And yes, I know you do it cause you leave the butter knife in it in the fridge.  Along that line, stop putting completely empty things back in the fridge of freezing, this is SUPER ANNOYING.  An empty box of sugar free popsicles does NOT go in the freezer.  An empty carton of milk goes in the recyling, if you are super lazy then leave it on the counter and I will do it for you, stop putting it back empty. 

Lastly, a pet peeve that is probably really common.  Do not read over my shoulder.  It's obnoxious.  I don't care if it's a book, my e-mail, a computer article or the newspaper.  Wait your turn.  Tell me you want to look at it.  If it's e-mail, ask first.  Kids, don't read that I am typing over my shoulder.  It might be about you, and how annoying you are being.  Hint, hint!

Lord, give me stregth and when I lack it, patience.

Tooth picks!!! I think when people use a tooth pick it's just gross. If you need to clean your teeth go in the bathroom and brush them.

Bad manners annoys the heck out of me. No please, no thank you, no excuse me. No excuse!

Dumb Blonde jokes.

Yes..har har..I have no sense of humor.  Actually I have a great sense of humor and can take some of these in stride.  The cliche that all blondes with big boobs are stupid, gold digging, bafoons gets on my nerves.  I cannot tell you how I have been treated over the years because of this one stupid, idiotic part of American Culture that people actually believe is TRUE!  Now that is stupid (not to mention most of Hollywood that invented this creature used a bottle to get that blonde hair).   I try to think who to blame, Jean Harlow, Marilyn??   Maybe just the stupid men that think I get all turned on when they make sucky faces at me from their cars all day.   hmmm...I must ponder this while I file my nails and fix my makeup.

Anyway...My biggest pet peeve!
