Peeved: Share your pet peeve's on the blockchain

in life •  5 years ago 

Annoyed, vexed, irritated, angered, exasperated, irked, galled, displeased...Peeved I'm going to take a huge leap here and say that if you're alive, you've felt one of these emotions at some point or other. If you're like me probably a combination of them all at once. The good thing is that there's a flip-side to these emotions and we, as cognitive-thinking human's, can actually make the choice to not allow any of these emotions to slow our roll but, as we all know, they do.

I'm no different to other's in that there's things people do that make me feel...Well, annoyed, vexed, irritated, angered, exasperated, irked, galled, displeased and peeved. Come on, don't tell me you don't?

I thought I'd share a few of mine and invite other's to list a few of their own as it may be interesting to compare them. Now I understand that as individuals we all have different tolerances to things so some of mine may not align with yours and vice versa however I thought it might be a bit of fun considering I've been a little serious with some of my posts lately. Anyway, here's some of mine:


  • People not washing their hands after they use the bathroom. I mean what the actual fuck? I fail to see the benefit in not taking the time to do so...Saving precious seconds in life? I'm not going to get gross with this one but seriously...Ever heard of the trail of shit?

  • People who interrupt other people's conversations. You know, those people who interject when other's are talking with something like, "not to interrupt but..." I mean seriously, not to interrupt? You just DID! Idiots.

  • Hot food touching cold food. This is a curious one. I'm not a fan of my hot food touching my cold food, you know, on a plate. When my food arrives the first thing I generally do is move the food around so it's not touching, I have the need to keep the salad away from the steak and chips for instance. It's a flawed peeve though because what happens when I have a burger, or hot apple pie and ice cream or some such thing. Still, it's what I do. Weird huh?

  • People who throw their cigarette butts on the ground. This one is pretty self explanatory right? Assholes.

  • People who eat noisily. Even just thinking about this one sends shivers up my spine. Clicking jaws, noisy chewing, lip-smacking...JEEEZUS! Just eat quietly!

  • Steem isn't $30USD I don't need to clarify this one any further do I?

  • People who stand but don't work out what they want until they get served. This one infuriates me as I'm not a fan of queuing in the first place. People join the line, looking at the menu board whilst waiting to get served, finally get to the counter and THEN ponder what coffee they want? Like they didn't just have 10 minutes to work it out whilst in line? Seriously? Air thieves!

  • People. Enough said.

So, there's just a few of my pet peeves. You can probably see a theme there, a common denominator.

I believe everyone has peeves. I also believe there's things about ourselves that piss us off too...But those are harder to criticise aren't they? Understanding what they are, acknowledging them, is the first step in doing so I guess, but it's the external peeves I'm interested to read.

I invite you to comment below with some of your own peeves if you're willing as I'd like to see if those I have, above and those I didn't mention, are similar. So, take the time and comment if you like.

I have a pet called peeve. That's not true.

How about drivers who don't signal because they are lazy. Over a lifetime, those few seconds wondering wtf they are doing can add up.

I wish you did have a pet called peeve!

That's a good one, imagine all the extra things you could do with those few seconds!

You Feel My Pain....!!! Lol

So with you on those last four...Especially the Steem one. I mean, not to complain or anything, but do you know how many good artists are asking for actual money to attend their shows? Nuff said.

Another peeve, people who say 'peeve'. I hate that fucking word :P

  • People who talk during concerts. Those really bug me, when they always have to say something to the other loser they're with. Like seriously, those people up there are singing their hearts out, shut the fuck up.

I don't know, I'm sure there's a lot more, I just can't think of any others ATM.

What did the word peeve ever do to you to receive such hatred? 😂

Posted using Partiko Android

I don't know, just peeves me :P

All those you mentioned plus people not keeping their pet dogs and cats etc under control. Also cops hiding at the bottom of hills to try and catch people going a couple of kays over the speed limit.

I'm with you on the pet one and the cop one for sure!

Posted using Partiko Android

Yeah, I hate people unable to decide what particular crap they want to eat, especially at a fast-food place.

The first 4 words of your reply is pretty much my whole answer... 😂

People who Photoshop my postings..... lmao

All Goid Brother..!! Carry on......

I try really hard to be positive on Steemit, because there's so much crap in the rest of the world, but I can't resist a call for pet peeves.

  1. People who drive 10 mph below the speed limit and won't pull the hell over.

  2. People who park their grocery carts blocking the aisle while they stare at whatever crap they are thinking of buying with no awareness of the presence of other humans and their need to get past.

  3. My cat does this slow walking thing when I'm trying to get to the bathroom first thing in the morning. He wants me to feed him, but even after eight years he hasn't figured out that it's pee first, food second.

  4. People who stop suddenly while walking down a sidewalk or in a store with no thought to the people who might be piling up like jetsam behind them.

Hmmmm. I'm seeing a theme here as well. I think I am a very impatient person. I guess I should work on that.

  1. Agree
  2. Legit
  3. I’m a cat guy so they call the shots 🤣
  4. Especially when they step off a escalator at the mall!

Great answers and yes, a definite theme has emerged.

Cats totally call the shots, which is why I continue to trip over him every morning instead of stepping on him to teach him a lesson.

I have two, both have me trained up pretty well.
