Pet Peeves

When people take playing a silly game, like a card game or a board game, so seriously that they get competitive to the point that they're angry and acting like sore losers, and insist on re-doing the game until they win. That makes it no longer fun for anyone else.

Anyone have pet peeves they would like to share? We might all have something in common.
It may be odd but my pet-peeve is the social norm of working in a service position and being expected to always be smiling, happy, and talkative. If not, you're considered rude and unfriendly.

Just leg me bag your groceries and send you on your merry way.

*edit* also, what really bothers me is filler words! I loathe them because frankly, sometimes they're just...so unnecessary. For example: "I'm taking my cat to the vet because of _x_ issue--life isn't going so well, lol." WHY? It's removing all seriousness from the conversation. /rant

This just reminds me of my pet peeve of people being talkative and conversational in general.

Like whenever my grandpa has to call someone on the phone (and I'm not talking about friends and family here), he always ends up making conversation with them about literally nothing.

These people have jobs to do, they can't be on the phone just talking to someone about whatever for like 10 minutes like you always do.

Or people who decide to make conversations in the check-out at a store or whatever and hold up the line.

Stop doing this!!!

I agree with you! I cannot relate to those who think one's job is the perfect place for forced conversation, simply because they can't...leave...

I think the worst part is when they feel embarrassed (like if something doesn't scan correctly), and keep extending a conversation because of this. Even once the issue is resolved. I think the people in line would be less irritated if you just left so we can all move on!

Conversations that begin with the word, "So." I find it jarring. Like I'm entering a conversation midway.

pet peeves. hmm let me see. trump supports for one. ignorant people, people who drive agressively, or drive in such a way, to irritate others, people who talk really slow in a condescending tone, and the worst one, high pitch noises. especially children squealing. squealing has caused me stress seizures before
