Hmm, I disagree with the first one you posted here. Just because you and someone else have different tastes in music, it doesn't mean the music they (or you) listen to is bad, and that certainly doesn't mean that either person should stop listening to that kind of music! Like, I don't really like rap music, but some of my friends do, and some of my friends don't like the type of music I listen to, and that's okay!

Oh yes, definitely I agree with you. I didn't word that earlier comment too well (oops). To clarify, it's fine by me if people listen to whatever types of music they want to. It's just that if I have to listen to it too, it can get a little annoying. For instance, if people are sitting in a car in a parking lot, blasting rap music as loudly as they can - I don't think the music is "bad," and they should definitely listen to it if they want to! I just wish they'd do it a little more quietly... Anyway, all I object to is having to listen to certain types of music myself, not the fact that other people listen to them :)

And going off on a bit of a tangent, I TOTALLY agree about rap music :) (but again, I'm not attacking it or anybody else's potential preference for it, it's just I really dislike it myself).

Oh, in that case, yeah, I totally understand - I'd be annoyed if someone made me listen to rap music as well :)

THANK YOU! I HAVE SO MANY KEPT BACK PET PEEVES!!!!!

-My brother asking me OVER and OVER and OVER AND OVER AND OVER to play Pokemon Cards with him. (I MEAN IT DRAGO*, STOP)

-My brother not playing Warrior Cats with me.

-I only get 1 hour of playing on my laptop/tablet. (WHY MOM AND DAD, WHY?)

-My favorite threads are dying! (R.I.P. Warrior Cats rp by Alex.)

*Drago is not my brothers real name, Admins. He used to have a CB account but stopped using it, so I call him by his account.

- when you're at 99 and IXL bumps you down to 92 for getting a problem wrong

- my braces

- people who openly correct your pronounciation during a conversation

- when you're trying to talk in a group or join in and everyone forgets about you

- overchlorinated swimming pools that are so murky you can't see the wall during meets :/

- assumptions about being Asian

- people who make their zodiac sign their entire personality- ex: "omg i guess that was SUCH a/an [sign] why to react lol" or "yeah, i would like this, i'm a/an [sign]" or "sorry i'm mean, but it's not my fault, it's my [sign] nature" 

- people who say you're pretty but say you'd be so much prettier if you bought [insert brand] or wore makeup

These are tiny things compared to the problems of the world but I still care about them:

-When people underestimate birds

- When people are trying to be sneaky about littering but I can plainly see that what there doing 

- When people ask me and my sister "Are you twins?" (Even if we said yes, why do you care????) 

- If there is a school newspaper with bad grammar/spelling

- When my family and I are birdwatching and someone pulls up their car and gets out to 'join' us (this has happened multiple times it is very annoying)

- If someone on a movie is supposed it be a violin player and they are, like, playing the violin very badly

- There is a book supposed to be for children but there is something that/the hidden message is really dark/inappropriate.

- When people ask me why I don't have a phone

- If someone asks me why I like birds

- If someone cuts down a tree that is perfectly fine 

- If there no cars in the street and there is a bicyclist on the sidewalk when people are on it

Here's a little list of my pet peeves:

- When my sister plays the drums really loudly

- The screeching sound of metal against metal

- Seeing pollution in the sea, and basically anywhere

- Seeing factories emit smoke into the already smoky and polluted atmosphere

- Getting writer's block

- Feeling like I don't exist in a conversation

-when companies use greenwashing (that means, when they pretend to be ecological and sustainable, just to get people to buy from them)

-when companies say they support LGBTQ+ communities because they're committed to fairness and equality and all the rest of it, but I don't think they really are. I have seen instances where they seem to be advertising their (supposed) support in order to get customers or employees, which strikes me as very hypocritical. It sseems to me to be almost as bad as greenwashing :(

Here are my pet peeves:

 

-Fake pockets (I have stuff too, ya know, not just you manufacturers)

-When someone (ie, my brother with allergies) inhales really wetly and then exhales really loudly in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IM TRYING TO SLEEP

-When someone lies to your FACE about whether they said mean things about your friend or not (and you know they DID)

-The boys in my class thinking they are funny (which they most definitely are NOT) when they make noises and imitate teachers and talk in class

 

Yeah, but that's it. I don't have a lot, surprisingly.

- people who openly correct each other's grammar or typos online, like "don't you mean '_______'"? yes, I clearly mean that, I'm just typing quickly, and prone to mistakes. don't be all high and mighty about knowing how to spell a word or correcting another kid. :eyeroll:

Welp...@the-antiquarian, that's kinda funny cuz one of MY pet peeves is when ppl don't even try to have good grammar. Usually online. Lol. 

But yeah, I understand your point too.

@Celine: Ha, I actually can’t stand bad grammar, and snobs who correct grammar, so I think grammar is just something that infuriates me in general. Earlier, I did post about incorrect grammar, but I don’t hate correct grammar, I just hate people who correct your grammar when it’s not their business.
