Pet peeves are small things that people do out of habit or on purpose. Not only humans, even certain inanimate objects can be the cause of such peevish moments.

Do you easily get annoyed or are you 'least bothered'? Are you irked by petty things like a screaming kid/whining friend or just gross stuff like stinking shoes/kleptomaniacs? Whatever it is, peeves are a reality. Although pet peeves aren't very pleasing to deal with, listing pet peeves was a pleasure trip since it helped me listen to the subtle voices of fuming spirits.

Interesting? Isn't it? Google seems to be extremely sensitive to certain 'CASES'! My bad!!

These are some pet peeves that drive me crazy... Now you know 'what not to do', when you are around me.

Reacting to Pet Peeves
Cigarette butts, pop-ups, the 'me-first' guys... they are all over. You have to choose and not be affected by them since these things are out of your control. The best way to react to pet peeves is 'to not react'. People have their own reasons to behave in a particular way which may annoy others. Understand the reason; maybe it's their habit, their behavior isn't intentional, and that's the way they think is right. And yes, nobody's perfect. We too have some annoying gestures that keep resurfacing, and others have to put up with it.

I am sure you have a lot to add to this pet peeves list. So go ahead and vent out your personal bugbear!
