I hate it when anyone leaves coathangers hanging on doorknobs so they get in the way.
People leaving doors open when its cold.
i FUCKING hate anyone telling me what to do while I'm already doing it or when I'm just about to do it anyway.
Along similar lines I'm in a band and I hate it when they tell me to really go for it when I go on stage, and remember to play the guitar solo really fast and other totally pointless advice which I was going to do anyway, it's not like I'm goin to go on stage and forget why I went up there.
I dislike it when people, it's usually girls, say "awwwwww" when the situation doesn't call for it and it's just because they can't think of something better to say.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

They have no logical argument to be doing that shit, so it's pretty annoying to be around that, especially when there's weed which won't kill you and actually has positives.
My pet peeve:
Weed smokers who think weed some how smells better than cigarettes or is less repugnant than cigarettes or that nobody minds them smoking up a storm "because it won't kill you."
Well, you know what? You smoking weed still makes my house smell like shit when I'm down wind of you. You smoking weed still puts out second hand smoke that I don't want to be forced to smell or breath in. I've had to shut up the windows of my non-air-conditioned house on 95+ degree days because my neighbors go outside to smoke and all that smoke goes right into my house. They've run me out of my house by doing this. And it doesn't matter what they were smoking.
I say smoke whatever you want, just do it in a place where others don't have to deal with the shit you're putting out there by smoking. Be aware that when you go out on your back porch and smoke anything that that smoke is being blown over to your neighbors house and they might not appreciate the smell as much as you do. And if someone is smoking inside their own home where that smoke is confined and is not being ducted to their neighbors apartments or anything, than who gives a shit whether they're smoking something that'll kill them or something that won't? That's their business.

This sounds like troll-baiting to me.
Next time get butthurt about something worthwhile.

Straw man fallacy in your first sentence. Stopped reading at your critical thinking failure. Never said I was a weed smoker, in case you missed the straw man.

To those getting mad at me, do you get this defensive when someone has a pet peeve you may like to do or condone others doing?
In this case it's a practical peeve against cancer-stricks which have no functional purpose or logical positive. Big frickin' deal, honestly.
Can I go through this thread and pick apart the ones hating on me about their peeves and shit on them for not being tolerant of that? sure why not.
Also another straw man from earlier, I never said I wasn't tolerate of cigarette smokers, so this whole backlash if batshit ridiculous. Chill pills all around.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

My biggest pet peeve is people sniping conversations. You and your buddy are talking, and this dude sitting three seats over chimes in with something completely inane. Drives me crazy.
The chewing thing gets me, too. My mom chews so loud. Squishy, visceral noises, ack.

My mom clears her throat in the most irritating way. I usually only notice it when we're in the car and I can't escape the *hem-hem* *ahem* *hem-hem-ahem* GAAH!!! Just cough or something but don't keep doing that!!
Also, people in movie theaters that taken 10 minutes to open their bag of treats because they think they're doing it quietly. Just take two seconds and rip the bag open really noisily, it's okay!

When dog owners at the dog park apologize profusely for their dogs being dogs. It's okay if your dog drinks out of my dog's water bowl. They're dogs, they have no sense of material ownership like that. Goes the other way, too. Don't act all snooty if your dog can't hang with the pack.
