This week over at Girl Talk Thursday, we’re discussing our pet peeves.
1) When people don’t throw away nail clippings.
2) When time is left on the microwave (ESPECIALLY if the door is left ajar!)
3) Chips / cereal / crackers etc getting left open so they go stale.
4) Toilet paper unrolling from the bottom (if I see this at your house, I’ll fix it!)
5) Forcing “tw”, “twi”, “tweet” etc into a word in order to “Twitterfy” it and look cool or cute. It doesn’t work. Related to this, when people intentionally do something that they know annoys you because they think it’s funny is also a pet peeve.
6) When Chris gets up with Maia in the morning and doesn’t bother clipping her hair back or putting it in a ponytail so it’s out of her face.

YES. See also: MOM and HER in other words.
Yes! Also, add ‘i’ to anything to make it sound cool and hip as if it came from Apple.
Um, WHO in your life doesn’t throw away nail clippings? Ewwwwwww
Remember when we were kids, and Tasha never wore her hair up? That drove Mom nuts. I bet she’s why it drives you crazy to see Maia w/o her hand tied back!
I am with you on the toilet paper. EXCEPT. We have two cats that quite enjoy unrolling the paper and putting it on backwards seems to slow their tp unraveling. It drives me crazy, but it is less annoying that having to reroll the tp after one of them has had at it.
I fix the toilet paper in other people’s houses, too. I’m sure they totally appreciate it.
HA! My huzb has the microwave time thingy too. I thought he was a complete freak for it. Now I see .. not so much! I never had the toilet paper thing, but I do shut people’s shower curtain if it is open. I am loving reading everyone’s peeves! Thanks for sharing!
My husband does all of the above, except #5 – no wonder the man drives me crazy.
YES! That twitter thing BUGS ME. You are not my tweeple. I’m sorry. That word does not exist.
I am a shameless microwave clearer, too, and I will also change the toilet paper at other people’s houses with little to no thought of their preference. It’s like an uncontrollable tic, I swear.
People who do things to you that they know you hate because they think it’s funny suck. (That means you, Father in Law.)
Agh! Nail clippings! Grosssss!
I absolutely hate stupid “twitterfied” words. My least favorite of them is “tweople.” It looks ridiculous.
Ok if I had thought of the microwave thing I would have written that in my post too. I have a friend who, when they visit, will always top my microwave with like 5 seconds left, get her food out, and then NOT CLEAR the time. And it blinks. It BLINKS and drives me bonkers. And I just go and hit clear when I see it but I really want to say “Can’t you just do this in MY HOUSE?!”
Clearly I have issues.
The microwave thing! My husband does that and more so now because he knows it annoys the daylights out of me.
OMG. The microwave thing gets under my skin, too! My husband CAN’T set any type of timer (microwave, alarm, etc.) to a round number, and then he cannot let it finish. Thankfully, our new microwave clears itself when you open the door.
