Hey guys,

Forgot about the thread from the emergency site so I'll start over here.

Anyway, What are your pet peeves around the house?? It could be anything you can think of from a wet sponge or toothpaste on the cap. :yuck: Just remember there's no restrictions and right or wrong.

Thanks

Nick:tup:

BTW, in case your wondering this is for the beginning of my school project this semester.

I just had a thought... would you guys be interested in doing a camera survey?? It would involve you signing a form from my school. Since I'm just thinking about this I'll formulate more info for you guys soon. 👍
 
i hate when the toilet seat is warm...like, if someone uses it and stuff before i do.

i must be thy warmer and i must be first!
 
Lights left on in rooms where there are no people.

Dishes stacked precariosly in the dishrack.
 
When dads take craps and stink up the entire house, so much so that when you come in from outside, even though the bathroom is on an entirely different floor, you know your dad has dropped a load. Why does dad-crap smell so caustic? As far as I can tell, he eats the same food we all do.

Also, my brother who doesn't go to school and has a part-time job staying up until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning watching TV in his room, and keeping me up all night. Sometimes the guy falls asleep with his door locked, and I can't knock loud or I'll wake my parents up, so there's no way to get him to turn it down!

We have a garbage can under the sink in our kitchen for collecting pop cans and bottles for the recycling bin, to save walking out to the garage every time you finish a soda. Well, as far as I know, my brother has never changed the bag once. Instead, he'll manage to find some way to place yet ANOTHER can on top of the already overflowing mound. I don't know how he does it.

Also, I tend to like to sleep in sub-zero temperatures, just like my dad. If I didn't have an air-conditioner, I think I would kill myself. So when my - gasp - brother decides he wants to be a stubborn little pissant, he goes down and adjusts the settings so the air conditioner turns off. He usually does this after I've gone to bed (remember, he does nothing all day and has no reason to get up in the morning, so he goes to bed 5 hours after me) and I wake up at about 4:00 in the morning sweating like a hog.

I hate watching anyone do any kind of "foot grooming" in front of me. By this I mean cutting toenails, exfoliating, putting foot cream on or anything else involving the foot. Keep it out of my sight.

I drive a transport vehicle as a part-time job, and it involves getting up before the crack of dawn every weekday morning. I also keep my vehicle parked in the driveway, and my brother is fully aware that I leave incredibly early. Yet at least 3 out of every 5 days of any given week, his stupid car is always blocking me in, so I have to go back into the house, find his keys (the ones with three hundred and fifty-six keychains hanging from it) and move it. I especially appreciate this on those cold Canadian winter mornings, where it's so cold outside the only way I can communicate with other people is through cursewords.

My brother also likes to turn the washing machine on while I take a shower. I pride myself in spending an average of 6 minutes in the shower, to preserve the hot water for everyone else. Not only does my brother do his laundry whenever I step into the shower, but when he gets in the bathroom he's in there a good hour or more, taking a dump then hopping into the shower immediately afterwards. I guess he likes to let the steam infuse the dump smell into his skin and hair...

So yeah, my household pet peeves are, in a nutshell, my dad's crap and my lazy brother.
 
Ok lets see here...

anyone blowing their nose anywhere i can hear it especially the kitchen
coughing without covering your mouth
coughing even if you do cover your mouth
not turning on the dishwasher when its full so when i'm thirsty i have to use my hands or a bowl cause i dont touch other peoples dirty dishes
not closing the door all the way on the bathroom
not locking the bathroom door and being very quiet while doing number two so i walk in thinking theres no one in there
leaving lights on
turning on the light in my ceiling fan so i get blinded in the middle of the night when i turn it on cause its hot
clogging the toilet and not fixing it
clogging the toilet and not telling me its broken
leaving toothpaste in the sink
turning down the tv when i make any noise in the kitchen as if i dont realize they're trying to listen to me to figure out what i'm doing
telling me to get out of bed then telling me again in a couple minutes before its even possible i could have gotten up
telling me to get out of bed then using the bathroom i have my toothbrush in so i have to wait for them instead of sleeping
looking at me
asking stupid questions
*****ing at me for answering stupid questions with stupid answers
*****ing at me for being sarcastic in everything i say to piss people off so they stop talking to me

and after reading post before mine

people watching tv or doing anything loud in the middle of the night that keeps me awake because the shift they work makes them stay up all night
also not wearing atleast socks in the kitchen or anywhere near my food

oh yeah and closing the bathroom door after you leave so i think someones in there and stand around like an idiot getting nervous trying to build up the courage to knock before i explode
 
Not turning the lights off

And when people cough or do other nasty business in the kitchen
 
i hate when the toilet seat is warm...like, if someone uses it and stuff before i do.

Thats because someone did!:)

Anyway, heres the list:

1. Leaving the toilet paper roll w/ no toilet paper. Annoying as hell
2. When people leave tissue (that they've used) where ever
3. Not cleaning up after your messes. IE: dishes, spilt whatever, etc.
4. Waking me up when i sleep.
5. Attempting to watch television then getting blindsided by "I was goin' to watch something!" Pisses me off to no end.

James-
 
Ok this is now kinda a rush job since I found out this little survey is due buy Tues. Sept. 14.

With that said if you'd like to be part if this, I need about three people (preferable with digital cameras). I have to have you fill out a short official release form, take pictures, and ask you some questions. Please PM me ASAP and I'll give you more details or contact me via AIM at VipFREAK.

Thanks

Nick

Hair on the god-damn soap bar!!!!!!!

Man, I hate that so much!
My sister also leaves lights on everywhere. Sometimes she forgets to lock the front door before she goes out when nobody is home.
Mum always makes dinner during my favorite TV shows and we end up eating when the stupid TV shows are on.

Thats about it.

Simple.

People touching my stuff without my permission. That's all.
Agreed. I can't stand my parents touching my stuff without my knowledge or permission.

My biggest peeve around the house is when you're doing something, and then a huge, gross bug appears, especially centipedes. Nothing else pisses me off/ grosses me out more than that.

Although hair on soap is fairly nasty...
 
I hate it when I have the door closed, so my parents always open the door, do what they need to & then walk away without shutting it. It happens all the time.
 
I am married now, and have my own place, so the parents / siblings touching my stuff obviously doesn't effect me any more, but holy crap it used too ! Now the wife doesn't change the tiolet roll when its empty, but I am ok with that cause I always leave the toilet seat up ! Its a great relationship !
 
The goddam toilet lid being up. I hate that to no end.

I don't care if you're a guy or girl - put the damn lid down!!!

The lid (that thing that covers the seat) is there for a reason. It's there so that stuff doesn't fall into the toilet bowl and to make the bathroom look good - as though someone hadn't just used the toilet a second ago. Use the lid, it's your friend.


Also, if everyone used the lid, nobody would b*tch about the seat not being up or the seat not being down.

In summary, the lid must go down when you're done.


Another one. Let's say you're cutting something with a knife. You put the knife in the sink 'cause you think you're done with it. But then you need it for something else so you grab the knife out of the sink to cut something else (food that is). That's no good with me. Once the knife touches the sink it's done until you've washed it.

Another one. Dirty dishes in the sink are no good either. Put it straight in the dishwasher (without a lot of food on it).

Not flushing the toilet
Leaving your stuff around where people usually walk.
 
Wait, there is another.....only happened once, thank god pressed pause on a endurance race, 45 mins into the race, came back and the dog had stepped on the power cord and pulled the plug......couldn't get mad at her, but man was I pissed, ( mostly self ) re-wired everything
 
People touching or moving my stuff
Not closing the bathroom door
Turning the water on while I'm in the shower
Not flushing the toilet
Listening to music I don't like when I'm around
Coming into my room without knocking and then not closing the door when you leave
Being in my room when I'm not in it
Even thinking about touching my computer
Blowing your nose and I hear it
Stinking the house up
Not using air freshener after you go to the bathroom
Having the tv up too loud for no reason
Telling me to turn the tv down when I have it up loud so I can actually here what is going on because someone else is making a lot of nouse
I think that's it

:)
 
I thougt about this some more and this is what I've got.

My parents have te odd habit of waking me minutes before when my alarm will go off. I'm not the type of person who sleeps through an alarm. I think the only time i've done that was when I was on 5 hours of sleep for about a week.

People who switch the chanel on the TV alot. My sister does this on purpose, she'll find something that you both like but as soon as she realzes that you both like it she switches to an annoying show. Just pick something please.
 
Wet Socks
Dad-Crap (I totally agree, anderton...)
Wet Toilet seats
Socks with no elastic
Socks with holes
Water on the bathroom floor after a shower
People who don't replace an empty roll of paper towels, especially when I'm about to put in my contacts
Stupid People
 
oh, i HATE understyle toilet paper. it MUST be installed over-ly. you know?
 
Wet shower towels that have been used to try off someone else on the towel rack. It's so nasty! Do you know where the damn thing has been.:yuck:

People that can't decide on a radio station or a track on a CD. Like my cousin she picks a track on a CD and lets it into say 1 min into the song and the song is far from ending and then changes it and does the same thing. It so annoying!:irked:

Taking my stuff without permission then breaking it and not replacing it.
 
Here's my list:
Getting done with breakfast and going the computer and seeing my dad on it when he knows I want to use it before I go to school(not like he doesn't have time to use it, he's on strike)
Poppy seeds/bread crumbs on butter and cream cheese.
Dad not pulling the Probe far enough up to the RX-7 so that I can fit the 323 on the driveway.
Random computer restarting because of a mis-interpreted error message, causing the net cookies to be deleted and then I have to log in everywhere.
Watching TV and having someone come into the living room and say "*this* is on so we have to watch it" or when I go to change the channel and my mom says "I don't want to watch Speed channel, find something else".
People getting in the way of my food preparations(in the middle of me making Mac and Cheese someone saying "I need to use the microwave for just a sec")
There's others too...can't think of right now though.
 
when nobody tells me when we're running out of soda so I can go out and buy it before we run out.

My sister having my mom force me to let her use MY computer :irked:

running out of razor blades (i like having a reeaaally clean shave)
running out of shaving cream
getting yelled at on the occasions I shave my head
