<p>Count me in for the gum chomping and snapping.</p>
<p>I know a mother from school who has daughters the exact same ages as all of mine. She is a pleasant person , but is always chewing , mouth open on a wad of gum.
At a recent middle school concert I spotted her across the gym doing her thing.
My jaw hurts just watching her.</p>
<p>Also cannot stand to see anyone’s underwear or crack either.</p>
<p>We even implemented a dress code for our employees, mostly because of this awful trend.</p>
<p>Isn’t a person “hanged”? I’ve heard the news person say so and so was hung, which I think is incorrect (when a person is hung doesn’t that refer to his anatomy?;)). A coworker talks about how she drug herself out of bed, like she had to smoke a joint or something to get moving.</p>
<p>At the grocery store, one of my biggest pet peeves…when the person in the express lane has to count out the exact change, even though it takes rooting around for 5 minutes and everyone in line (especially me) is ready to strangle her (sorry, it’s usually a her in my experience).</p>
<p>This may be just me but I can’t tolerate someone smacking their lips on popcorn right behind me in the movie theater, and rattling the bag like they’re in their own living room. I know it’s their right but I key in on it and it drives me nuts. I’ll get up and move. </p>
<p>And just can’t stand when the athlete, being interviewed after the win, says “first I wanna thank God”. If I made that kind of money for playing a game I’d thank God too.</p>
<p>Well since we’re all being picky here, I am sensitive to the sound that utensils make when they clang on someone’s teeth during eating. Drives me crazy! I also hate putting utensils back in the drawer when they clang on one another. The metal-on-metal sound is like nails on a chalkboard, to me.</p>
<p>Pizzagirl, similar to your metal-on-metal peeve, mine is the sound of people clipping fingernails (or toenails :eek: ). It makes my skin crawl. Especially at the office. Personal hygiene belongs AT HOME FOLKS!!</p>
<p>How about a stranger invading your personal body space ?
Even if you take a step back they take a step closer and inevitably they are :
either hygenically challenged or a 10 pack a day smoker with a lit one in their hand
It happens to me on a regular basis every summer day :(</p>
<p>Pizzagirl-- my late father used to stop talking, put his fork down and glare at anyone who clinked their silverware on their teeth. I had a friend who did this on occasion (she wore braces) and told me recently that she was always terrified to eat at our house as a kid–</p>
<p>I also HATE people crackling and crinkling plastic wrappers and rattling candy at a movie. Someone did this recently at our high school’s winter concert. Can’t they just NOT EAT that crap for an hour or so? It’s one of the main reasons I’d rather just watch the dvd at home. Also not keen on large grownups who decide to sit in front of little kids when there are other seats to be had.</p>
