Pet Peeves are something that annoy most people daily, but which ones are considered the most annoying?
Well, of course, that question is subjective as pet peeves are very individual; what annoys one person doesn’t necessarily annoy another.
That being said, there are pet peeves that many people agree are the most annoying in the world so we decided to compile a top ten list for your perusal.
According to a wikipedia definition we found:
A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to themselves, to a greater degree than others may find it.
According to this definition pet peeves really are just “minor annoyances” and not things to be taken too seriously.
Don’t be surprised if you have some kind of pet peeve that no one else has, or one that isn’t that common. If you have a pet peeve about something you have a pet peeve, and there isn’t much man nor beast can do about it.
Let us know in the comments feed at the bottom of this article if you connected with any of the the top 10 pet peeves in this list:
1. Cell phones in the cinema
To kick off today’s list we chose a very common pet peeve that annoys many people. There you are at the cinema, having paid good money for your seat and popcorn, and in the middle of the film, some inconsiderate person’s cell phone rings or beeps as they “forgot” to put it on silent.
2. Clickity-clicking while texting
You know what I mean here as there is only one thing more annoying than a cell phone ringing in the middle of a movie and that is someone texting as the “clickety-click” permeates the movie theater. A simple flick of a switch to silent would solve this problem and they could text all they want, but then again, they seem to always “forget.” No wonder it’s number two on the Lifedaily list of pet peeves.
3. People with annoyingly loud laughs
Not to mention those awkward snorts that often come at the end of an obnoxious laugh, why oh why do some people think it’s ok to laugh so loudly. Often it isn’t even about the volume of the laugh but rather the type of the laugh. And why do people always laugh at the most inopportune times, usually when the room is quiet?
4. People using your stuff without permission
This one is definitely on the list, as it annoys many people when their brothers, sisters or friends use their stuff without asking prior permission. It’s not a case of being stingy with your stuff, it’s just that you feel so agitated and invaded when it gets meddled with without your knowing about it.
5. Dogs that poop when their owners don’t clear it up
There is nothing worse than enjoying a stroll in the park and stepping in a huge dog poop in the middle of an otherwise fine day. It’s even worse if you find yourself rushing for a bus or train and step in something on the way. It’s illegal in most states for dog owners not to clear up their dog’s poop yet so many people don’t. It’s always a good idea to carry wipes or at least tissues with you whenever you step out of the house.
6. Trying to work out which one of your tabs is playing the loud music
C’mon, this has got to be one the most annoying pet peeves in the world. It’s common these days for most people to have numerous tabs open in their internet browser. Then, all of a sudden some random music, or an ad, blasts out of your speakers and you rush in a frenzy to find the culprit. Truly an annoying pet peeve.
7. Application forms without enough space
Who designs application forms? And why is it that you find so often that there isn’t enough space on the form to provide the information requested? It’s almost like a disease, it’s so common. In fact, I’m not sure when was the last time I filled out a form that DID have enough space in the boxes.
8. People who ask questions during movies
Another biggie and it’s happened to the best of us, more than once. You sit there transfixed by the latest Hollywood thriller that you’ve been dying to watch and your buddy sits next to you poking your arm and asking annoying questions. Doesn’t your buddy realize you’re concentrating? And why can’t he or she follow the movie properly? The answers to these questions are unclear, but it clearly is a common pet peeve.
9. Commuters who try to enter the train before you’ve exited
Another top ten pet peeve, and one that affects literally millions of people daily. It also seems to be a strange phenomenon that is global and happens in many countries and different cultures. It just seems that people are impatient when it comes to riding a train and, even though it’s totally illogical, they insist on entering the carriage before you’ve vacated space them.
10. Tangled Wires, especially headphone wires
To finish off today’s list we decided to end with a pet peeve that annoys most people. Wires, at home or in the office, just seem to have a knack of getting tangled up over time, for no apparent reason. This is nothing more annoying than when you want to put headphones on, or earbuds in, and the wires are just too tangled up.
So there it is Lifedaily readers, our list of the 10 most annoying pet peeves the world has to offer.
