This is the thread for general pet peeves. I don't mean character ones or fandom pet peeves, I mean random, not specific to anything pet peeves.

Rules

1. Please don't name anybody.

2. If anybody starts to argue, take it to profile comments or PMs.

3. Black out any sensitive content.

^^ True I at least think there should be a law of some sort.

I don't use public transport anymore but when I did, it was so annoying having arrogant teens at the back blasting their speakers.

It's disrespectful, especially in a confined public space.

A pet peeve of mine is when people try to talk to me about something and then we start talking about something else, and they still are stuck on that first topic, and complain that I derailed the subject matter. I'm really bad at face to face socializing and this doesn't help me at all.

  Eeek why are they still hung up on the first thing we talked about , Now they are confusing me.

Strangers and acquaintances feeling like it's okay to touch me without asking. Especially near my face? Part of the reason I cut my hair so short is that it keeps hands away from it. It's awfully bold to just grab someone's hair and then ask if you can braid it?

Alright, so I own spiders as my pets. I've always been fascinated by them, and just think they're the prettiest things on Earth. I, however, know that not everyone likes them as much as I do, so I'm not shoving my pets in anyone's face. 

However, nearly every time I have a guest or someone who doesn't know I own spiders asks me about my pets, I'm given the "But spiders are so gross! Have you ever tried owning a cat instead?" argument.

Yes, I love common pets. Yes, I love my spiders an equal amount. No, loving spiders doesn't mean I hate other pets and want them to get hurt.

And no, if a tarantula bites you, you will not die.

^^ GOD that reminds me of a huge peeve i have regarding that too
tho my peeve specifically (since i don't own them yet but they're both my fave animals) is if someone posts a photo or video of their spider or snake and everyone in the comments is like 'yuck that's disgusting' or 'ugh kill it with fire!!' (blacked out bc ik that can be sensitive for owners) like u wouldn't say that abt someone's dog or baby so why say that abt someone else's beloved pet? just bc it's not a conventional 'fluffy and adorable' pet :/

I'm pretty shy and quiet irl and one of my biggest pet peeves is when people interrupt/talk over me, and then like 2 minutes later are like "hey you should talk more!" Like I'm trying to, but I can't get a word in because you start talking over me the moment I open my mouth. 

Also I get a lot of people asking me "How come you're so quiet?" I don't know???  Why do I need a reason? Maybe I just don't have anything to add to the conversation? How come you're so loud?

A pet peeve of mine is when people just bash my favourite anime either just to tick me off or just plainly because they don't like the art style, I understand not liking some animes, I really do. BUT GOD THEY JUST SHOVE IT IN MY FAAAACE!!! Just stop shoving in my face that you don't like JJBA, that it has a ugly art style for FRICKS SAKE!

but yeah thats one of my pet peeves.

My biggest pet peeve atm: people who do not understand the difference between speciesism and racism. Species and race are not the same thing! English isn't my native laguage, but even I know the difference.

When I say that my character(s) hates other sentiesnt species, and ppl call me "racist" - I'm like wtf? Some of my characters are actually married to the members of different races, but the same species.

Racism can only occur between members of the same species. And I don't have any racist characters.

It really annoys me when someone owns one guinea pig. Guinea pigs need a buddy. Just like humans, they get depressed when they're alone. That's true for a lot of animals. Just because a dog is satisfied with only having a human around, doesn't mean other animals will be too.

when people complain that they do all the group work in a different class, yet they're doing absolutely nothing for the group work in the class i'm in and im the one who is forced to work on all of it :)

I don't like fave bombs or mass faving. Like I don't mind if you do that if you actually like my art or characters but mass faving PURELY for grabbing attention or pageviews is that obvious especially in dA when everyone else comments "thanks for fav!" on that user's profile. :^) 

Could be just me but I value faves that are honest okay...

employers expecting maximum effort for a minimum wage job (and also like, expecting you to prioritize a MINIMUM WAGE JOB over your health, happiness and family)
