- Noise. No really, I'm loud and I understand other people are too, but noise really gets to me.
- People calling me Honey, Sugar, Darling, Sweetie... please stop. It really doesn't make me happy.
- Grocery store aisle hoggers. You know who I'm talking about, don't you?
- Anyone making fun of Southerners. In person, in movies, in tv - this really pisses me off.
- People who call me closed minded for having a set of beliefs that I live my life by - even if I'm not perfect and I fail at it frequently. The deal is - how are you not being closed minded by demanding I believe just like you? I won't push my beliefs on you and I expect you to have the same respect. It doesn't mean I won't like you as a person,I just won't agree with everything you believe in. (and you know what, it's ok. You don't believe everything I believe in, either, so aren't we kinda on the same page here? Maybe?)
- Know-it-alls.
- Please don't tell me how to run my life, what I should do, how I should do it. I'm ok, I'm a grown adult, I'm living all by myself and doing ok at it. I truly don't need you to tell me how to function in my day-to-day life. I'm good. Promise.
- My mouth. My very own mouth is my pet peeve because I talk too much. It gets me into trouble and if there is one thing I'm focused on changing right now, it would be that.
- Always negative and angry people. There is no sunshine. All is gloom and doom. I've been this person before. And sometimes I slip back into being this person. And it's horrible. No one wants to be around this person and I don't like being that way... so I'm constantly making efforts to be positive and thankful.
- Jealousy. We all experience it for more than just having someone looking at our significant others. I've had some folks jealous of my college degree. Or of my family-life. Or of my (fill in the blank here). Try being happy for people instead....
And there you go. I'm sure I could find more... trust me. But there is a good start.
