Pet Peeves

[DavidReaves]

Holding a hamburger with one hand, wrapped around the back of the burger. You have to be a real psychopath to do that
Two hands or no burger.

I don't know if I can get through all 400(!) pages of peeves, but, some of us just have big hands. There's not even room on most burgers for me to hold it with both hands!

2 bedroom apartments here are averaging 1900/mo and up. 3 bed are 2500/mo and up. Our mortgage isn't even that high. It's idiotic.

Amen to that. I'm in real estate and things are ridiculous.

PureBREAD instead of BRED like…. Really???? Bread is a type of food

This is old enough you probably forgot about it.... but I'm from the south, currently in Texas. How is it possible to say "PureBread" any other way? I get something could be a pure breed, but otherwise, when the words are together, is sounds like "PureBread".

Yes! And a sour sponge is the absolute worst!

THIS! I'm pretty sure this is something *EVERYONE* agrees with (excuse my dangling participle-- if that is one of your peeves).

People standing unnecessarily close behind you while waiting in line. This was a mere pet peeve before Covid; now it makes my ears smoke.

I've found extra garlic and raw onions help this problem. Of course, people tend to give me more space anyway-- I'm about 6'6" and 270 pounds. You know that picture of the eagle, that says, "I am smiling"? Well, sadly for strangers, my resting face is grumpier than that.

Peeve of the day
When there's a communal dip pot (i.e barbeque) and someone dips then bites then dips the same thing back in.
Utter dipsticks

..also loud eating probably tops the list, and slurping.

Double-dipping deserves the death penalty.

I'm taller than average, so I bet there's a whole world of pet peeves of shorter people that I've never experienced.

This. But I do have something related to being tall. It is somewhat of a peeve, not a pet though, when people build doors just a touch lower than standard. Until I shrunk a bit with age, I was 6'8" tall. When people make doors shorter, I would bump the top of my head. It was especially problematic on stairways!

This reminds me of when I was a kid…mom would buy us each a bag of Doritos of our choice. My brother would finish his and then eat ours. My sister and I found out that if we licked one from our bag and put it back in the bag in front of my brother, this would prevent him from sneaking ours when we weren’t looking. The things we did to protect what was ours.

Oh, the things I could say! I'll leave it vague.

I seem to recall this being mentioned.
