"Locker room talk" in my presence. Anyone else hate it when men start talking about their tit preferences, favorite porn stars, what celeb has a great ass, etc? I just find that TMI. Maybe it's because of some bad experiences I've had with loose mouth men, but it makes me uncomfortable. I have adult thoughts too, but I watch it in mixed company out of respect.

I've got an aversion to things relating to that term in general thanks to the last few years especially, but that would involve going into political discussion, so...yeah.

Same. 

I don't like being told that things could always be worse. I know things could be worse, I've lived through worse. That's what I'm worried about. I used to let a lot of things go, but I'm still salty about when I was worried about my dad going out into what was supposed to be -50 degree weather (polar vortex), and this woman said, "It could always be worse!" My dad is in his seventies. I didn't want him to freeze. She went on to "like" a comment from a young woman who complained about parking being so far from her college. No "it could always be worse!" to her.

People who ONLY take Covid seriously. I was shamed by a relative for catching Covid. I have barely had a life trying to avoid it only so I could still see family and not risk getting them sick. (And no, I never gave Covid to anyone.) I lost out on much of my life prior to the pandemic thanks to anxiety and depression. It’s triggering telling me to only ever stay at home and have a mask on 24/7. If you’re high risk or just anxious about it, I totally understand. I’m just not. I am physically healthy, but my mental health needs for me to get out and see humans. I also get shamed for making exercise, sleep, and healthy eating priorities. I know I would have all the support in the world if I’d get on an antidepressant, so I wish other things that help with mental health would be taken seriously too.

Nobody should be shamed for catching covid. That's just not right.

I love salt and vinegar, and I like feta cheese in salad. Not in sandwiches. I tried that once, a sandwich from a place that my friend raved about. My parents drove me there, because I was trying new things (I'm picky with food, and not that adventurous, unless I'm annoyed or upset). I didn't like it.

I love stinky cheese and I love salt & vinegar chips. What I can't stand is the smell of Fritos or corn chips. This stems from the time I was at a Girl Scout camp and we made Frito pie. Everyone got legit food poisoning from it. The smell literally make me nauseous to the point I will throw up all these years later. 

Another peeve of mine is manufactured drama just to have something to be dramatic or seek attention over. I have very little patience for needy people seeking attention by looking for drama where there isn't any. We're adults. Handle your shit.

Well, I'll happily shame the ever-loving hell out of someone who medically could and should have been vaccinated but chose not to be because they "did their own research" (e.g. listened to some moron's podcast) and got COVID, and, while I'm glad they'll survive, I'm not going to feel sorry for someone who got vaccinated but otherwise behaved with utter recklessness and then, gee, surprise, got COVID at what was inevitably going to be a super spreader event being sick.  But, the many people who took reasonable precautions to protect themselves and others but still got infected?  Nope, totally inappropriate to shame them for it.

Back to my printer peeve -- I got the paper jam fixed, but now I'm out of ink!

And another really petty peeve -- using just the word "passed" when someone dies.  Passed away is fine, passed on is okay, too, but just "passed" makes me wonder what they passed.  Did they pass Go and collect $200?  Did they pass gas?  A kidney stone?  An exam?

[Cloud9Shopper]

I’m tired of apartment living. I’ve only been doing it for three years (late start in life, long story) and maybe I’m just exasperated because I hate this rental. But I’m so tired of hearing slamming and thumping below me during the work day, or hearing laughter and conversation when I’m trying to sleep after 11 pm on a weeknight because my neighbors are rude AF. At least two of the tenants in this duplex moved up here from other states. My area attracted a lot of these people from New Jersey and other such areas during COVID (although they were moving here before that too), and a lot of them are nothing but troublemakers and bad neighbors. 

My new place is still a few months away from being ready, and while I know there’s no escaping noise altogether unless I move to farm country, at least the arrangements will be more like a house and I won’t have upstairs neighbors, downstairs neighbors, or anyone on the other side of the wall making my work day a bigger headache than it currently is. And I’ll get off street parking and my own laundry too. I am hoping it will be my last rental before I can own. Once I am settled in there I will start saving for a house and try to figure out how to get to my goal.

I guess I’m hitting a stage where some things are just not fun or tolerable anymore.

Agree with all the above and I ALSO dislike loudmouth females who've I've never met before who somehow think that it's OK to go into TMI detail about their  prejudices, love lives,medical histories and/or use lingo that would make stereotypical longshoremen blush the very first thing in my presence.

Truly, it's better to be stay silent and let others assume one has minimum standards of discretion, respect and taste than to immediately shatter others' benefits of the doubts re the above. And that goes for ALL genders and backgrounds!

Yes, obviously, it should be "why my only clothes..."

But seriously, I am routinely peeved by bad/awkward grammar, and I'm not picking up on what's misplaced about the "only".  Where would you put it?  Maybe between "door handle" and "when"?

That's where I would put it.  I highly doubt anyone anywhere is actually going to misunderstand it the way it's written, and think the complaint is the only thing that happens when they're in a bad mood is their clothes get stuck on the door handle, but the other way is the better description of the scenario (their clothes getting stuck on the door handle only happens when they're in a bad mood).

Both those explanations make perfect sense but I wonder if there's some kind of regional element in what "sounds better".  I would tend to say "my roof only leaks when it rains" rather than "my roof leaks only when it rains" even though when you think about it, the former implies that my roof only leaks - as opposed to flying off the house - when it rains.  Anyway, as I said upthread, I got new cabinet handles so we're all good now.

Right, but that's talking, where things just come out of your mouth.  Not that people should disregard grammar and clarity when they're talking, but there's only so much you can do on the fly.  When writing, especially when writing for publication (which appears to be the sole purpose of a meme), there's the opportunity to take a little more care.

And I'll admit that in the case of "only," people generally do understand what was meant even if it's misplaced, so complaints do seem pedantic (and therefore perfect for a pet peeve), but people generally understand what was meant when a meme has "your" instead of "you're," and I'm certainly not cutting any slack on that one. 

The more people see "wrong" things, the less wrong they seem.  "She gave it to Bob and I" has started making even me groan instead of flinch, and that's a worrying sign. 

If someone's going to take the time to make a meme, take .05% more time to make sure it's right instead of just slapping it up there.

I’ve rented when first married, owned four houses, and now own a Condo.  I’ve only had no noise of any kind in one house.  All the others .. doors slamming, dogs barking, washing machines running all day, loud TVs, loud yelling, air conditioners noises.  You can’t win anywhere, except on a farm like you said, or lots of property.  Houses do have loud neighbors too.  That’s why people move.   My daughter moved twice in five years because of neighbors, and her houses were big and beautiful.

The use of only as in "one of the only people who..." drives me crazy but is inescapable. It's few "one of the few people who..." Only doesn't make sense.

[RealHousewife]

You guys reminded me! The cost of housing is a pet peeve of mine! I was going to purchase a home a couple years ago but was talked out of it. My parents thought I should keep saving to get a better house. I just had to listen. :( As expensive as apartments are, I feel like it's become more and more difficult to save to own the kind of home I want.

I wasn't talking about the people who have made this all shitty for the rest of us. Covid-wise. I was just afraid that would get into politics, and that isn't allowed. Two years ago, in July, I think it was, an elderly woman was taken to the hospital, and collapsed in the bathroom. She was put on a ventilator, and that didn't stop the people who were asking for prayers for her, when it came to running around maskless, and promoting conspiracy theories. 

My dad refuses to wear a mask, and is now saying that he won't get a booster, because he doesn't think they're helping, so he's part of the problem. I don't know if I caught covid, because I briefly removed my mask in a bathroom, or if he passed it to me, but didn't get sick himself. I barely leave the house.

I want to save up to own once I move into my next place, which I want to be my last rental because it basically has everything I wanted to improve over Shithole Rental. I worry too I will never get to own but I want to try anyway. Even a small house would mean something to me. 

I live in what was a low cost of living area, but we’ve had people running here from New York and New Jersey even before COVID. So now even a one-bedroom in the community I wanted to stay in can be close to $1,000 a month. I have a cat and so many landlords wanted to charge extra for pets or a few hundred in a pet deposit. I’ve seen posts from landlords expecting access to bank accounts so they can direct debit the rent, asked to take photos of my current place so they can see if it’s clean (I wanted to tell that landlord that anyone who is smart is going to clean to take pictures), and all kinds of entitlement the last few years. I did get a raise with changing jobs but not enough to afford a $1,200 apartment with no utilities included.

Around here 1 bedroom is $1700 and up in boring neighborhoods. Hip/cool $3,000. I’m stuck in a tenement apartment but it’s cheap I grew up in it. I can’t even afford anything by myself period. It’s depressing. 2 college degrees and get paid peanuts.

An expensive beauty product spilling. A Skinceuticals serum I barely used just fell off my bathroom counter and spilled most of the product out. :(

It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada!  Earlier today, I wanted to make a donation to the local food bank by dropping items off at a neighbouring fire hall.  No one was there, so I wasn't able to do that.  I made my way to the closest supermarket I THOUGHT had a donation bin.  Guess what?  It's not there anymore.  It was apparently taken out during the pandemic (I'm a regular at the store, so how could I NOT have noticed?).  Luckily, a guy at the info desk was kind enough to take my donation anyway.  Made a video and posted it on Instagram ranting about it.  Yes, I did tag the food bank and Toronto Fire Services.

Breaking out again as soon as I don’t have a reason to mask anymore. (Just had Covid.) Really face, when I was at the house and masking afterwards, skin was clear then? Must I break out as soon as I’m finally free?! :(

I'd gotten a little careless a few weeks ago, mostly masking but not every single time the way I used to and surprise, surprise I got Covid.  Sigh.  Anyway back to masking whenever I am out.  Today  I was picking up some groceries and all the way through the produce section there was a woman, unmasked, hacking away.  So charming.  Coughing all over the one section of the store with mostly unwrapped products.  Aside from which fercryingoutloud!  Two and a half years and for some people it's like it never happened.

You're wrong, in that it's not 100% guaranteed -- it is indeed unlikely you could get reinfected (and then infect someone else) right away, but we don't have the knowledge to say you're good to go for X time (based on what is currently known, risk of reinfection is low for at least the first 6 months, but that risk is low, not non-existent; my neighbor got reinfected two months after he first contracted COVID).  As the CDC explains, reinfections do happen, and ongoing studies are helping us understand how often those occur, how soon they take place after a previous infection, who is at higher risk of reinfection, the severity of reinfections compared with the initial infection, and the risk of transmission to others after reinfection.

I’m watching the ball game now in New York.  NOBODY is wearing a mask.  I only see masks in the doctors offices.  Do people really think Covid is over?  Or what? How and when will this go away?  Maybe they think being vaccinated twice is enough so as to not be on a ventilator.  It’s like people think it’s over, and it isn’t. Very confusing all around.

A colleague of mine had Covid in July and got it again this week.  For what it’s worth, they’re unvaccinated.  

As we all should have learned by now, the vax doesn't prevent Covid.  It is supposed to lessen the severity of the illness, or perhaps keep symptoms at bay.  Depends on which study you read.
