40 Frequent Frustrations

Levitt Lin presents

All of us

have a seemingly

endless list of

pet peeves. Not a day

goes by that you won't end up

running into something innocuous

that drives you crazy. Here is a list

of personal peeves that you’ll hopefully

relate to, so you know that you’re not

alone in your frustrations with the way

strangers, friends, and even family tend to act.

Interruptions

Making big deals out of nothing.

When people steal credit.

When people break promises.

When you change your plans so it’s more convenient for other people, but they still show up late without warning.

When people tell you to do something you already planned to do.

People who fail to clean up after themselves.

People who chew with their mouths open.

When people enter a bus before everyone gets out.

People who leave shopping carts lying around the parking lot.

People who buy too much food to finish only to throw it out.

Blatant hypocrisy

People who don’t know when to end an argument

People who play their music loud enough that you can hear it while they wear earbuds.

People who assume the worst about harmless actions.

People who project their insecurities on other people before even getting to know them.

When people walk in groups without leaving room for people to walk by.

People who treat commitments too casually.

People who sing along with songs with headphones on.

Having to repeat myself.

People who have an overly high opinion of their understanding of a subject.

Wet socks

When someone leaves an empty or almost empty milk carton in the fridge.

People who ride loud motorcycles at night.

When someone tries to start a long conversation while you are in the middle of something.

People

who ride

their bike

on the

sidewalk.

People who

smoke near no

smoking zones.

When someone doesn’t

replace an empty toilet

paper roll.

People who don’t even look like

they’re trying to pay attention when

you’re speaking.

When people criticize something publically,

but never put their money where their

mouth is.

When someone uses something you own without

asking.

People who ask to borrow something that can only used once.

Tangled cords, especially when someone returns something all tangled up.

People who argue about media they’ve never seen.

When someone abuses types in all caps for emphasis.

People who take overly heavy steps.

When people use literally for emphasis, but don’t actually mean it literally.

When someone says “we” of “us” when they’re only talking about their own opinions.

People who don’t make room for more people to get on the bus.

When family eats out without telling you, so you end making too much food.
