I know we've had a thread about pet peeves before but idk if it was a poll and if it was I'm sorry. I only searched through the first page or so of polls. Anyway, it was kinda easy for me to think of 15 options which may tell you I'm easily annoyed. (:

That being said, pick up to five options. I've left two as fill-ins in case you have pet peeves I didn't mention.

We have an elevator in our parking garage which is connected to our building at work. idk how many times I've gone in the elevator and can still smell someone's realllly bad perfume. Like why do they bathe in it?

You have to understand:

1) It's a bike route.
2) The sidewalks are designed to allow tons of people walking side by side, yet somehow two people walking next to each other still find a way to suck up the entire thing.
3) It's a bike route.

It's even worse when we get the on-street designated bike lane so we won't be on the sidewalk and either pedestrians or joggers are out in it anyway.



Ok, but in Portland we have lots of bike riders who ride on the sidewalk when they want, ride on the street when they want, only obey traffic lights/ laws when they want, and whiz past walkers without a warning so if you turned into them cause you didnt hear them, you'd be dead.

Thanks. That reminded me to remove my signature - which I had forgotten about since I have signatures turned off.

I actually voted for the "interrupting" option. Mostly because it's the only thing my perfect wife does ... I'm pretty quiet, if I'm moved to share something ... just let me finish the story!


I have a friend who does this to me. I'm telling her a story and she keeps interjecting answers to my sentences lol. Then I have to stop to say "no" and then continue. Just let me talk!
