• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

pet peeves / lil stuff you cant stand

- People who think your time is disposable and not important. Like, sorry if you don’t value time spent that much, but I learned about time management in university and I value mine. Thanks.

- People who will wake you up by asking for something when it’s obvious that you’re asleep still.
 
People who say “would of” instead of “would’ve/would have.” Also, using the wrong your. Every time I see “OMG your so pretty!” I wither a little inside. I’m really finicky about grammar despite purposely using bad grammar online a lot.
 
A lot of things, haha. But, one right now, as the weather is getting warmer and i live on a busy road: stupid losers revving their motorcycles or cars and speeding down the road. It’s so ridiculously loud and dangerous and it infuriates me. We shouldn’t have to have our hearing damaged/nerves shot because you are a little baby who needs to “prove” themselves by making loud sounds 🙄
 
Eating sounds drive me round the twist very quickly lol - Whenever someone is chewing/slurping loudly near me, i'm pretty sure my face is like:

When people obviously hear what you say but they make you repeat it just make fun of you or stuff... Like come on there are people with actual hearing issues, jeez.
 
When I call someone and they answer the phone with "I'm busy, can I call you back?" Then why did you answer the phone in the first place?!

Yes just put your phone on do not disturb or send that auto text reply thing. bruh.

also a lot of vegan sweets/desserts feels it's necessary to build them on hazelnut creme or just other nuts or peanuts. like not everyone can eat that and you can very well do a chocolate base without that :L
 
I have sadly a lot of pet peeves.. but the two that I really have a lot of problems with are..
PHONES. If we are watching TV, then don't freaking stare at your phone half the movie / TV show.
You will survive not knowing what is going on on the internet for two goddamn hours.
Why even watch TV, if you are not going to follow half the show anyways?? Tzzz

And then there is NOISES. Like.. I have really great hearing, which is of course good, but in some way
really annoying. Make the smallest noise and I will hear it and it will trigger me so much that I will
get super aggressive, if you don't stop. Also whisteling, ffs I can't stand it but my bf loves to do it
and it makes me so freaking mad to hear this high noises -_-
 
my brother chews with his mouth open and it's disgusting, you can also hear him chewing. i also hate coughing too, almost EVERY time we eat dinner (not exaggerating, it happens all the time) my dad chokes on his food. its like omg do you not chew? i think he has some sort of condition or something but still.. its gross.
 
i try not be the kind of person that gets annoyed with everything, cause the idea of me annoying someone brings me a lot of anxiety in my life, so i try not to judge others much cause they might be feeling the same way and not doing these irritating things on purpose.

But when i tell someone in the nicest way that what they're doing is bothering me and to be more mindful of it, but they still do it or get mad at me, it really makes me angry > o <

One of those pet peeves is my mother smoking in the house, in the same room that i sleep. That drives me insane every morning i can't breathe from the smell of smoke and it really bothers me. another is when im sleeping and my family is being loud with no reason, like instead of speaking low they speak raising their voice as if they don't care. That also really irks me. And lastly, another pet peeve is when someone interrupts me or doesn't listen when i say. Thats from me being ignored a lot as a child it really bothers me now :c
 
I realize that it can't be helped and I never make an issue of it, but I personally can't stand the sound of people eating.

I also dislike it when people make authoritative statements and say they're sure about something being true without giving a disclaimer that they might be wrong when they are, in fact, incorrect. It doesn't require much more effort to say "I'm not sure, but I think" or something to that effect.

Regarding the whole alumnus/alumna/alumni/alumnae thing, here’s a quick little guide since I see so many people mess this up in their Instagram bios:

alumnus - singular male graduate
alumna - singular female graduate
alumni - plural, either a group of male graduates or a group consisting of both male and female graduates
alumnae - plural, a group of female graduates

“Alumni” 👏 is 👏 not 👏 singular. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I've always known this but uhhhhhhh.... is there a word for an alumnus that isn't in the gender binary? maybe I could just refer to myself as alumnus after I graduate lol (I really don't want to be referred to as alumna).


one of my biggest pet peeves is when people hurt someones feelings and it's, like, really obvious that they were hurt, and the person doesn't apologize?? this is my biggest gripe with my dad, like yeah he's done a lot for me and he helped me get into school and whatnot but he also caused me an unbearable about of emotional/mental pain and he has never ONCE apologized for it. I can't forgive him anymore.
 
When you have your way of doing things cause it makes life easier for you and people come in and be like "heyy you're doing it all wrong let me show you blahblah"

like, does it matter HOW i chop an onion or tie my shoelaces or just something unimportant etc...like it's not like i'm responsible for a security software or anything smh

alumnus isn't a strongly gendered word in english, just in Latin, and it's a dead language. you can just call yourself a graduate if you feel uncomfortable but tbh outside of bumper stickers nobody really uses the word alumni

that's what I figured, I was honestly kinda surprised to hear there was a separate word for a female alumnus cause I've never heard it before.
 
I am not at all hating on them, but it miffs me when I get pinged by my friends on Discord just to “look at something” or to read a text. .—.
 
Incorrect grammar/spelling/punctuation. It used to be so bad that I'd edit other people's posts on tumblr to suit my (admittedly elitist) standards, but it's gotten somewhat better over the years.

This or when they write something clickbait-y just to show off some boring gif or it wasn't an emergency like. Chill.

Also people snoring/breathing weirdly thru their nose while they sleep. I guess some can't help it but I'm sensitive ;_;

Can relate to an extent, especially when people confuse then/than and bought/brought and proceeds using them incorrectly.
 
People who insist on going to officie for work (pre-covid) when they are sick. Like come on, we work office jobs. Theres no people dying or burning houses waiting for your rescue. Just stay home so you don’t spread the germs around to everyone.

People who don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom. That’s just poor hygiene please wash your hands!

tiktoks...I don’t know if I’m the only one but these tiktok trend videos are really stupid most of the time.

people eating with their mouth open. Oh gosh... in college I have a really good friend. We basically have all classes together and hang out a lot, but I really tried to avoid eating next to her because she makes a smacking sound when chewing her food andit instantly make me lose my apetite

dog owners who don’t clean up after their dogs on walks.There are soooo many dog owners in my building and most of them don’t follow the community rules and allow their dogs run around everywhere and pee literally next to thebuilding entrance, or don’t pick up the poos after their dog goes #2. Ewww....
 
People who chew loudly/openly. Its very distracting and it shouldn't be hard to eat a little slower haha
