Biggest pet peeve

[lph]

I know I should be grateful, but . . .

DH tries to help out around the house but instead he ends up hovering. If I'm washing the dishes, don't try and wash the dishes too--dry them or put them away for crying out loud!

Heheh - my dh is infamous for hanging around while I do stuff until I'm almost finished, and then asking if I need a hand. He does loads of houseworkhimself, he just has terrible timing when it comes to helping.

I was reminded of my pet peeve when we went to see Blue Jasmine the other night - people who so badly need to talk about themselves that they just skip the whole polite "and how are YOU doing?"-phase of a conversation. I have several of them in my family...

I don't which is my best pet peeve. They seem to rate all the same:
People who put me on hold so they can answer another call. Am I not important? I usually hang up. I have prepaid minutes.
People who answer a cell phone while at a gathering and then expect everyone to be quiet so they hear. For Pete's sake, take it to another room.
Bicyclists who talk or text on their phones while riding! Are you observant.
And last but not least, what my SO does when he sneezes or yawns. It's annoying.

Co-workers who sit down beside you in the staff room and whip out a cellphone, put it on speaker and proceed to have a very loud conversation.
Totally rude behaviour.......no one wants to hear your conversation TRUST me!!!!!!
