Here are my pet peeves about people

1. Those who can’t remember what they have told you and keep repeating the same incident/ conversation over and over again. Some have a pet topic and every time one meets up, they talk about that one topic or one person all the time.

2. Those who are extremely touchy. Anyone and anything is out there to get them, to pull them down or to insult them. Come on, man. If one has to be so much on guard with some one, then friendship or even a conversation becomes a drain.

3. Those who are extremely rude or wouldn’t think twice about opening their mouths and putting their feet inside. We are civilized people here and expect a little respect and dignity towards others.

4. Those manner-less uncooth boors – picking on their nose, loudly burping or farting in public, making loud noises while eating – God Help!

5. The insensitive folks who have to be put in their place. This is pretty common where people in the guise of “pulling your leg” say incorrigible things and say they were joking. Come on, is that the only way you can rise up by pulling others down? Very distasteful!

6. Those gossip mongers or reveal alls. Yes, we all gossip at a basic level but there is a certain trust element among friends. One does not like one’s life’s intimate details to be laid threadbare in public. Come on people, use your discretion. And, you know what no matter what one wishes, it reaches back the person who told you not to reveal it in the first place :).

7. Those who don’t listen to others and only want to talk. I know, I talk a lot too. But believe me, I listen keenly and remember stuff pretty well :).

8. Those who talk very loudly and suddenly something you have whispered in jest is heard by the entire world :).

Please feel free to add more to my list!

4 Thoughts on “Pet peeves about people!

  1. Another – They will keep on saying..’I don’t want to interfere in your life but you should do it this way. and next time they will ask, have you done it the way I said?’ Suggestions are welcome but don’t pressurise.

    One more – People who don’t like others to enter their house without prior permission but they themselves enter even in the bedroom without informing. Please respect other’s privacy.

  2. good ones, Manika ! Agree totally.

  3. How about people who wake u up early mornings or during the afternoon siestas?

  4. Yes, those ones too, Gurdev 🙂

Do not leave without commenting. I love a good conversation :).
