Pet peeves...things that really bug you

[MareImbrium]

What are some of your pet peeves...those things which totally irk you?

1. Tardiness - I never understood the concept of being fashionably late to things. Why bother telling people something is going to start at so and so time if it isn't going to start then? I am usually prompt to everything and the idea of keeping someone waiting is not in my dictionary. And I don't like to be kept waiting either unless it were a very extenuating circumstance. Once in a while is ok but if tardiness is a constant habit that's really annoying. And if the guy is late on a first date..that's even more irksome.

2. Cell phones & pagers on alert mode in movies, theaters, class, church, etc. - There are reasons why these forms of technology have a silent mode. Use 'em! Gosh. We all know that at least one will go off no matter how many courtesy warnings are given out. And when I'm on a date with someone, if his cell goes off (unless he's on call or something) it gets to me, especially if we're not meeting up with his friends or something where he would need to have it on.

3. Interruptions while watching tv, movies, etc. - Just leave me in peace. Got questions about the movie or wondering what's going to happen next out loud? Just watch it and the answer will come to you! Or pay more attention. I can never watching anything in peace at home because my parents and/or brother will always be yapping in the background and I can't hear anything.
