Pet Peeves.... On the Job or in Class

Pet peeves: things that annoy you. A pet peeve is usually a minor annoyance that may not bother others.

I’m pretty sure you  have a few pet peeves – loud gum chewing, people who interrupt you without excusing themselves, etc. Well me too! 
Here is a list of my pet peeves.  I’m sure I do something that annoys others but none of these listed apply to me:
-          Cell phone drivers.
-          When people use the word "literally" inappropriately
-          People who talk with food in their mouth. GROSS
-          Grabbing snacks/ hors d'oeuvres from an open platter with your hands without using a napkin.
-          Noisy eaters.
-          Not washing hands after using the restroom.
-          Explanations that begin with the word “again”.
-          Comments such as “at the end of the day”.
-          Intentional misspellings:” lite” ” kwik” ” ‘R ” for are.
-          People who go the wrong way in a parking lot.
-          Throwing trash in the recycle bin.
-          The use of “yes, but…”.
-          Clipping your nails in class or at work.
-          Bosses who think your job is your life.
-          Mispronunciation of words.
-          Being put on the speakerphone without warning.
-          Emails with no subject.
-          People who say “I can't”, without even trying.
-          PeOpLe WhO tYpE LiKe ThIs.
-          Lastly-People who make up words.
You may be a victim of one or more. If you have a pet peeve that I didn’t list, feel free to comment and list your own!
