Pet Peeves. We all have them. Something that another person does that makes your eyes roll, lips tighten, and become overwhelmingly irritated. What are our biggest pet peeves? The ones that bother us like nothing else and yet are constant parts of our day. I have asked members of the general public what their pet peeves are and their answers surprised me. Some were ideas I’ve never thought of before while others had my full support! Enjoy this list of the 25 most popular pet peeves:
1. Drivers who don’t use a turn signal.
2. When people pop their gum.
3. People who read out loud what they are typing on their computer, phone, etc.
4. Strangers who sit right next to you even when there are other seats available.
5. People who take forever to order food when the line is incredibly long.
