1. People who push crosswalk or elevator buttons over and over and over and over and over….
2. Emails written in ALL CAPS.
3. Being tickled.
4. Platform flip flops.
5. Drivers who don’t use their blinkers.
6. Waiting for the person in front of you to write a check at the grocery store.
7. Improper usage of “Your” and “You’re”.
8. The sheets not being tucked in at the foot of the bed.
9. An intentionally vague Facebook status update that prompts friends to ask what is going on and may possibly be a cry for help- otherwise known as “Vaguebooking“.
10. Teenagers in general.

lol! I had to edit it down a bunch. The first list consisted of annoying things that people do. I realized that those aren't pet peeves. I'm just an irritable bitch.

I hate Platform flip flops! Doesn´t that just negate the whole purpose of flip flops in the first place!

You just can't have it both ways you know? It's either a heel or a flip flop.

I hate to admit this but I have, at one time or another, committed every single offense on your list. I have a particularly funny story about using all caps (one that I, of course, am too embarrassed to share.)

Oh, I'm totally guilty too. I sent out a tweet the other day using "your" instead of "you're". I almost died.

haha! This is basically identical to my list!

Cannot stand vaguebooking. Drives me crazy. It's such a cry for attention that I ignore them.

It's not identical to my list… but I don't like most of them. Especially teenagers. What will we do? Our little financial parasites are bound to become some one day. I mean, it beats the alternative… of us killing them with our bare hands before they have the chance. What then?!

I love that you use the term "financial parasites". I'm going to have to use that. What happened to my discretionary income?
I am terrified of having teenagers. I should start saving for boarding school now. Maybe we can do a trade. You know, like a foreign exchange student deal. Think about it.

With you on those!

i have to agree with you on platform flip flops…i've never seen a pair worn in style or grace. Usually the person looks like they are on the verge of immediately falling.
enjoy your blog…found you through bulldog momma. looking forward to your future posts.

I've committed all of those acts on your list (hee..hee) except 'vaugebooking'. I not quite sure I understand what that is….
On the other side everything on your list is included on MY pet peeve list(maybe not top 10 but definitely top 20). I've actually turned to the person I was peeving off and said,"I understand, my behavior really irritates me too!"

That is hilarious. I was actually having a hard time with the list. I almost called my husband to consult him as he is acutely aware of my "particularities".
The best example of vaguebooking I can think of is when someone writes something like, "Hoping for the best. We'll see." or "The worst thing just happened to me."

I think we may have been siblings in a former life. #3 bites; #4 I have a cute pair that is trying to KILL ME;#7,#8,#9 all irk me to no end….but I have a teenager at home, so I try to not be too irked by them.

Muahaha…I'm with you on most of these. Vaguebooking totally bugs. I also hate passive aggressive facebook posts. They drive me ba.na.nas.

I have one "friend" in particular who consistently vaguebooks. I would love to unfriend them, but I am fascinated (and repulsed) by the vaguebooking. It's quite a predicament.

I've had the feeling of being followed for some time now.
Ever since I stole that piece of chocolate cake from the Mad Woman (behind the Blog).
Now I've seen you're, sorry, YOUR list I'm sure that your (or is it "you're"?) the one that's been following me.
Damn! Your/you're good! I never even see'd ya!

I have to admit- I thought your comment was spam when I first read it. But, to give myself credit, it was six in the morning, I had been up all night with a teething baby, and hadn't had any coffee yet. Now that I've had time to read it, you are like the funniest/weirdest commentator ever. I dig it. A lot.

well good morning! i don't now how i clicked over – a lucky dame and the mad woman both recommended you.
i'm wicked guilty of not using my blinker. and then? like out of the blue? i'll use it to turn into my driveway, when no one else is within 10 miles of me.

"Vaguebooking". I love it. And also, I hate when people do it.

Great list! I agree with number one. Pressing it that many times isn't going to do anything. While I hate vaguebooking, I hate whinebooking just as much. You know, where a "friends" post is a whine about some thing extremelly petty. Every.Single.Time So annoying.
[Reply]
I love #9! I know someone who does that every day. Her updates are always depressing but you have no clue if they're about her boyfriend, friends, life in general… it's so annoying! I've stopped asking her about it. Great list!
[Reply]
I have to agree with every single one of those – even though I am guilty of pushing the crosswalk button 3 times quickly when I get there – does that count? I also get peeved when you’re in your car, stopped at a crosswalk, and the person next to you inches forward every 2 seconds… annoying!
[Reply]
We are going to get along just fine… Terrific list. Especially vaguebooking.
