I agree with kajero about the putting on hold to answer another call...whose brain fart was it to invent call waiting anyway? It is also a distraction to have the beeping when somebody else calls and you're already in a conversation. As for an "original" pet peeve of mine, it bugs me when I am checking out at the store and the person behind me moves up so he/she is super close. It's like they're worried about losing their spot in line or something, and I hate being crowded like that. I always feel like turning around and telling the person to back up, but the one time I said something the person got all huffy and acted like I was the one doing something wrong (to be fair, I was probably a little snarky in how I said it).

My daughter and I have exactly the same pet peeve. She has it because she and her brothers were trained out of it by me throwing strikes and refusing to cook. I still have it because I cannot get my husband to understand how annoying it is. The peeve is this- dirty dishes left on top of and not in the dishwasher.

DH will even rinse out his dirty dishes but cannot be bothered to bend over to stick it in the dishwasher. Maybe he believes in spontaneous transportation. The secondary peeve is that he usually leaves dirty dishes and empty cans or bottles next to where he sits. He is slowly learning to pick up after himself since I refuse to pick them up but at the same time there is a certain resentment on my part because I tend to police the house before I go to bed but since he stays up later than me I usually find stuff lying around in the morning. Aside from checking to make sure that there is nothing for the cats and dogs to eat, I leave them alone, but it puts a sour note on the day. I have tried to talk to him about how much it bugs me but he is under so much pressure at work.... I think his retirement in two years will mean a whole learning curve for him and I both.

Almost spewed coffee all over my monitor. That's a good one!!!

DH is a private investigator. He has found a single blonde hair on a yellow carpet. But he cannot see the socks in the middle of the floor.
