My guess… Drawer pedestals put these objects within easy reach.
Snow in very late April and having to turn my heat back on. <<< THAT is a very real pet peeve of mine right now. :-q
The packets are also for the dishwasher–so kept under the sink.
We are at a hotel with a breakfast buffet. (Otherwise I would not be at a buffet). Peeves me no end when A there are people standing in front of the bread watching the toaster, what if I wanted to reach the untoasted bread? And B the dear lady standing in the exact choke point where we couldn’t pass, taking the cubed fruit molecule by molecule… I just wanted to pass. O.b.l.i.v.o.u.s …
Sushi. It’s too big for one piece to comfortably fit in your mouth and you can’t exactly bite it in half either.
HUGE pet peeve at buffet events – buffet table against the wall so that fifty people are lined up waiting, when with the exact same setup pulled out from the wall, people could go down both sides. HHAAAATTTTEE.
We had FOUR identical buffet lines at my small wedding because I hate this so much. People came to the event for a purpose, and it wasn’t standing in line.
Because people are stupid.
People not answering the second question in an email.
The reply comes back with one answer only.
I am talking two simple yes or no answers!
Here’s a real pet peeve in that it’s a tiny thing that bugs me a lot:
When there’s a coffee display at a buffet/hotel/function, the hot water urn must ONLY be used for hot water, NEVER EVER FOR ANY KIND OF COFFEE, or the water and the tea it becomes will smell like coffee forever. A catering operation that does not have a dedicated, permanently labeled hot water urn is not worthy of the name. (I’m looking at you, Northwestern Law. I drank a lot of nasty coffee water in my five years.)
When I am at a casual restaurant in line waiting to order food and am starving but the people in front of me are taking forever to decide what they want to order. I want to give in my order and jump ahead in line to pay so I can sit down and eat.
I have a friend who travels a lot. I emailed her and asked if she’s ever been to the Outer Banks, and if so, could she recommend the best area, and some restaurants and activities. I received the following response:
“Sounds like fun!”
Well, I guess she’s never been to the Outer Banks…
My pet peeve is misuse of homophones, particularly discreet/discrete, peek/peak/pique, lightning/lightening, troupe/troop, and of course their/there/they’re.
Also sportscasters who say “ath-a-lete”.
The hard plastic packaging they use for consumer goods - just impossible to open without an electric saw. That and those annoying price stickers that will not easily come off that are stuck on everything. How about the ones they stick on the bottom of new shoes??? Drives me out of my mind trying to get them off.
That “clamshell” packaging is the likeliest thing to send people to the ER on Christmas Day!

That happens to me often!!! I thought it was just me. I was thinking I should start sending multiple single sentence emails
When someone tries to take the limelight away from someone else when it is really their moment. It’s not nice to rain on someone else’s parade. Just congratulate them and be happy for them.
There are people who, I’ve learned, need to have multiple one-question emails. Even for others, I make sure to number my questions if I want to have any hope that all will be answered!
“HUGE pet peeve at buffet events – buffet table against the wall so that fifty people are lined up waiting, when with the exact same setup pulled out from the wall, people could go down both sides. HHAAAATTTTEE”
I have been known to solicit someone to help me pull it away from the wall 
I hate that too.
Pet peeve: When you go through an airport security line and you put your things on the conveyor belt,
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not stand right-where-the-stuff-comes-out. Stand at the very end of the conveyor belt and let things ride to the end and THEN grab them so we all can get our things.
I hate people who stay on their cell phones at the gym while others are waiting to use the machine they are on. I mean really, go text or talk somewhere else and let those of us there to work out and have time constraints work out. So annoying!
I hate when people stand for a long time waiting for a bus and then get on and seem surprised that they have to pay. Have your fare ready while you wait so you don’t hold up every person and every bus behind you!
It also drives me insane when people get on the bus knowing that they don’t have their fare. What makes you special? If you don’t have the fare, get off.
