i dont know if these count as pet peeves or just mild annoyances, but whatever.
i hate it when people take about the weather EVERY SINGLE DAY like its huge news. yeah, its cold and there is snow on the ground and the roads are icy. its been that way for two straight months now. theres no reason to talk about it anymore.
i work in an open office with 3 or 4 others depending on the day, so if someone its talking, or doing anything loud, everyone can hear it. it drives me crazy that two of those people think its totally fine to blare their music, or whatever theyre listening to/watching online. i listen to music sometimes when i work, and i watch plenty of youtube videos when im not busy, but i have the courtesy to put headphones in because i know that nobody else wants to listen to whatever im playing. its not a party here, so we dont need a DJ. and i dont want to be the asshole who has to go tell the boss that so and so's music is driving me crazy, or that so and so is watching the news at full volume and i cant hear myself think. or when someone from another office comes into ours because they want to "chit-chat". most of the time, especially if im busy, i dont want to talk to anyone, so when someone comes in our office and starts chatting about something stupid like the weather or what the fuck happened on american idol i get pissed.
i hate when people fuck with my settings on shit. like my computer, my stereo, my phone, whatever it may be. just leave it alone if its not yours.
theres a ton of things my girlfriend does that drive me crazy, but theyre all stupid things about how she cooks, or that she makes us dinner and we have to share the plate. its awesome that she makes me dinner, but sharing meals on the same plate is not my thing. i dont want to have to worry if im leaning over too much, or if im eating more than my share. i dont know if she doesnt it so that we eat small portions, or if its more intimate for her, but drives me crazy when she does that shit.
she doesnt set the timer on the microwave or on the oven, so she constantly burns shit. she also does too much multi tasking while cooking, which leads to burning shit. its not that hard to set timers, i dont know why she doesnt. i tell her too all the time, but for some reason shes very anti timer. she doesnt like the ding or the buzzing noise.
she also tends to over season the shit out of everything. when we first started dating we started cooking a lot, and i think i payed attention and she didnt really get it. i also follow recipes where she just looks at the ingredients and makes it up, thinking its going to be better because she put her own spin on it. so she really doenst have a decent understanding of what seasonings go well with different foods, or the different ways to prepare different things. she just grabs all the shit and loads it up with spices. she also insists a lot on having dinner done when i come home, which means she ruins more meals then she would if i were there. dont get me wrong, its great having someone who cooks for you and has dinner ready when you come home, but a lot of times i cant help but think that i couldve made it better if she wouldve just waited for me to get there and help.
sorry for my shitty post. im working on a big project at work that i hate and its got me kind of pissed off and stressed.
