Pet Peeves--Spin Cycle

Jen at Sprite's Keeper is spinning up some pet peeves this week.  Everyone has their triggers.  You know, those things that aren't enough to really torque you off but that annoy you enough to drive you nuts.

Nick could probably list several about me.  A few I know of:

• I never throw away the bags from things we buy.
• I "shrink" his clothes in the wash.
• I have to have lots of covers to sleep.
• There are more I'm sure but he hasn't expressed them to me.

Things he does that annoy me (but I just let go in the interest of peace in the house):

• Puts the toilet paper roll on so it rolls off the bottom.  I'm not sure how many times I've sat in the dark and rolled and rolled looking for the end while it piled up on the floor.  Now I just turn it over.  At least he changes out the used roll.
• Leaves dirty socks where ever he took them off.  Unfortunately Turbo is picking up on this habit.  The socks are rarely in a bunch, just dropped where he was sitting when he took them off.
• The way he cleans.  He does not go through piles unless forced.  He will, however, move those piles out of sight.  I have lost more things when he cleans.  (We still don't know where he put Turbo's portable DVD player after the last cleaning jag.)
• He makes plans then neglects to tell me until the last minute.  Then he insists he told me about it.

I have other pet peeves.  Slow drivers make me nuts.  If you can't go the speed limit, don't drive.  Going slowly to be safer only makes you a hazard to those of us who are going the speed limit.  I'm not talking about going slow for the weather conditions, I'm talking about the drivers going 15-20 in a 30 mph area.  they make me nuts.

I care about the environment but the little environmental dig at the end of programs on Discovery annoys me. Commercials can be annoying to.  There are some that I will immediately change the channel so I don't have to watch them.

Turbo has started adding a y sound to the end of Bruiser's name.  We correct him almost immediately, no y end to his name.  I don't want the poor kid to be cursed with that when he's forty.  Nick is still called Nicky by his family.  Nicknames are fine but not that.

I also have the pet peeve about the whole they're, their, there thing as well as the your, you're thing.  I will admit there have been some blogs that I have read once because the typing and grammer were so bad I could hardly get through them.  I never went back.  I can deal with the occasional typo but constant mistypes and mistakes get hard to read.

Pet peeves are funny.  They can get to be big things if you let them fester, but in the big scheme of things they are really just minor annoyances.  I think that a good relationship is just finding the person who shares your set peeves or has ones you can deal with.

So what makes you crazy or nuts?  If you've got a pet peeve let me know, or go see Jen and spin it up.
