    When people pick at something coming loose, as though they need to check how the obvious looseness feels, and just make it way worse. It's like they can't help themselves.

    Like a button or worse...a tooth?

    Chewing with the mouth open. Pretty sure I've mentioned it before in this thread or elsewhere but goddammit it skeeves me out.

    I hate seeing/watching people eat. Like when we go out to dinner with friends...I'm always looking at my food. Most people look like miley cyrus with their tongue sticking out and diving face first into food.

    Such imagery =)

    Just eat politely! I can tell what is being heartily enjoyed by what's on your plate, not what's slopping around in your mouth.

    (and do NOT speak to me while eating. If the benefit of the doubt card were teetering on the table as relates to the chew, all bets are off at that point.)

    Huge pet peeve, along with people who smack their lips when they eat. Eeww.

    Anything. I was more thinking things that are coming unpeeled, liken decals or whatever, or a covering on something.

    People eating with their mouths open are my #1 peeve, hands down. It is revolting, so rude, so uncouth, so loud, and it means the person doing it is so painfully oblivious to just the basics of living in a society that I can't even stand it. I will call people out when they do that. I don't care how awkward it gets, lol. It is completely unacceptable behavior IMO. They may as well just pick their nose at the dinner table.

    The irony/beauty of this is that I'm reminded of the Chinese Restaurant ep of Seinfeld, where George yells "we're living in a society!"...and yet every time you see Jerry eating, mouth is wide open (and yes, lips smacking), talking through it, just normal shit. Sure!

    We need more couthness.

    Has it ever gotten really awkward when calling people out for it? I never have, just inwardly fumed.

    Oh yes, it's very awkward, lol. That's because the adult who was acting like such a pig is very embarrassed that they've been called out for such rude behavior. The tend to act like their feelings have been hurt (which is ridiculous. They know as well as we do that you shouldn't eat with your mouth open, and slurp and suck, etc.). And I'm basically just there with a "suck it up, princess" attitude. The truth hurts, lol. Awkward! :lol: But fuck. Someone's got to stop them. Obviosly most people do what you do - inwardly fume. Meanwhile the person continues to make every person they dine with too sick to their stomachs to enjoy their own meals. They must be stopped! :tongue:

    the whole eating and food thing is one of the reasons I despised work potlucks...mixing up serving spoons, sneezing into dishes, not using serving utensils at all...

    or 'thank you' when you do something nice like holding the door open for them...

    I will "YOU'RE WELCOME" a bitch so hard when this happens. I ain't your fuckin' butler I'm holding the door to be polite, you don't need to strut on through without so much as a nod like an entitled little shit who thinks s/he deserves doors to be opened for her/him.

    Yea this has been happening a bit more often around here. So. Bugs me.

    Women who feel the need to tell me they don't need a man to hold the door for them, that they are capable of doing it themselves. I know, I'm just being polite. It has nothing to do with you being a woman. If you were another man, I STILL would've held the door instead of let it close in your face.

    When people let the door slam in my face I say "thanks for not holding the door open" or when they don't say 'thank you' I say "you're welcome, next time I'll let it slam in your face"

    Most people are very nice and courteous here though.

    Forced updates. Whether my cpu, smartphone, or xbox. It makes me feel like the company is trying to get away with some shit. Let me look it over and decide.
