Pet Peeves Meaning
So, what's a pet peeve anyway? Pet peeves are small irritating things people unknowingly do out of habit or on purpose. Also, certain inanimate objects at times, can give rise to peevish, insane moments. "Arrggh" is how each one of us react to all types of pet peeves, irrespective of whether they are stupid, funny, causing anger, or all at the same time.

What's your irk threshold? Isn't this question especially annoying because of the irky word in it? (The word 'irky' is totally discovered!) Anyway, what I mean is they are the small things that bother you most. Are they just petty things like a screaming kid/whining friend or gross stuff like stinking shoes and kleptomaniacs? Whatever it is, it's for real.

Funny Pet Peeves List


And now without mincing any more words, let's step into the peevy world of reality. There are some pet peeves that drive me crazy, maybe they affect you too. Well, here's the pet peeves list that upsets me most:
  • People who never listen to you. Just because you don't talk very often, they think you have nothing significant to say.
  • People who are so reserved and cold that nothing seems to get them to react to stuff, either good or bad.
  • People at work - those who shake hands everyday, for no apparent reason.

  • People seeking your attention with out-of-the-box and surprising queries, since they know otherwise you won't listen.

  • When people expect doctors to write only about acid reflux and insomnia and not about pet peeves.
  • This is my latest pet peeve, and it's more than annoying! Google ranks this article, on second position for the search "Pet Peeves List" but it's nowhere in the search results, if an Internet User searches with the same phrase in lower case, i.e. "pet peeves list." Interesting? Isn't it? Google's "pet peeves" seem to be EXTREMELY sensitive to "CASING"!
  • Spam mails
  • Fake smile
Reacting to Pet Peeves
The best way to react to pet peeves is "Do Not React At All".
Dear, it's Out of Your Control".
Nothing can get it done right?!
So, look at it humorously and enjoy yourself!
Also, now you know what not to do, when you are around me.

On a Serious Note


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 hello, who said you are perfect. You too have some annoying gestures that keep resurfacing, and others have to deal with it. Read more on:P.S. There's a thin line between getting annoyed and angry, peeves simply have to be irking, nothing more than that. I am sure you have a lot to add to the above pet peeves list. So go ahead and vent out your personal bugbear!

People who fling cigarette butts out their car window. Butt heads...

Had a smoking butt hit me in the helmet and almost go down my jacket while riding behind some idiot. I must have looked pretty silly swatting at my jacket like a bee was after me or something.
