Pet Peeves
Perhaps you can tell me what kind of a pet, a peeve really makes? Does it come house broken, what type of food and how much does it consume, are trips to the vet frequently required, shots needed, easy to train, good with children, etc.?

Drives me batty when someone drives significantly under the speed limit and has 8-10 vehicles behind them. You'd think they'd be considerate and pull over to let traffic pass, but noooooo.
On the OCD side- I always snap closed the seat belts on shopping carts. Don't like to see them just hanging and they get tangled up with the other carts making it hard to pull out of a line. Yup, I'm weird.

WHEN I'm speaking and I get rudely interrupted in the middle of a sentence and waiting on someone who's late i hate waiting.
Don't interrupt when I butt in.
And, being the last one there means you don't have to wait for anyone else.
The older I get the less stuff bugs me.
But, saying your going to do something means you should have a really solid reason for not following through.

For many cultures a firm eye contact is like that of an animal. It means I am going to kill you and probably eat you.

Mellowed so much lately, that you really have to work at getting a "Peeve" out of me. Keeping with the "Pet" theme though, people that invite you to their home, and then ignore when their pets jump on you uninvited, is really annoying. 
My top three. (the first two are related to forums)
1: "Quoting".
Someone will post a wall of uninterrupted text followed by two feet of pictures. That, in and of itself, is fine. However, a half dozen people will quote the OP, in its entirety, to leave a six word comment.
2: "Premature Posting".
The OP will pose a question and a responder will stop reading after seeing the question without reading the rest of the OP's intent and say: "ooh!" "ooh!" "I know!" "I know!" and hit "reply" without scrolling down and reading the other dozen posts that have done the same and answered the question.
3: "Ice chewers".

The limp hand shake is kinda odd, overly sweaty hand shakes are flat out gross.
I shook hands with a guy a while back that was probably 30 years younger than me, I thought he was gonna break my hand. Not into the overly aggressive hand shakers either. My dad taught me about a firm hand shake when I was probably 5 years old.
Only time I usually make eye contact is when I'm ready to rip someones arms off and beat them to death with them.
Growing up being a stoner you trained yourself to avoid eye contact...parents, teachers, and the LEO's. It's a hard habit to break.

People who say revolvers are outdated and obsolete...like a bullet cares what gun its fired out of...
I will admit to being a reformed ice chewer/cruncher. I don't miss it but I do miss the Diet Mountain Dews.
I have prematurely. . . Well, never mind.

People who take three syllables to pronounce "REALTOR".
They may sell REAL-E-STATE, but they are REAL-TORS.
Also, it is Chest Of Drawers, not Chesterdrawers.
And while I'm at it, people who use "You and I" no matter what.
Correct: You and I are going to the movies.
Dopey: He wants to go the movies with you and I.
Its "me". He wants to go the movies with you and me. You wouldn't say "He wants to go the movies with I."
I feel better now.

Actually the correct usage is "y'all."
