What is a pet peeve you have? (Some behavior that annoys you?)

What is a pet peeve you have?  (Some behavior that annoys you?)

Do you do anything to cope with it?
Do you confront perhaps the person who is causing it?  Do you provide a negative consequence for the behavior occurring?

Is it really YOUR intolerance or impatience or is the behavior itself the problem?  Sometimes we need to look within to make sure we are reasonable and understanding.

Well I have a lot because I suspect I'm a bit on the spectrum. It's certain types of noise that triggers me most of all.

Though if I had to pick one I would go for men whistling inanely like a canary when shopping. I can barely hold it together in the shops at the best of times but when the whistling starts they get the cold hard "I'm going to end you" stare!

I may be a liitle intolerant perhaps.

I do not like having to endure hearing music that I either do not like or is too loud.
Sometimes I can MUTE if this is online.  At other times the music and its loudness is not under my control, except for leaving the premises.

That is one of the reasons I stopped living in an apartment building. Loud music, screaming kids, and barking dogs on the other side of my wall. My psychologist said to just try to relax. Who can relax with all that noise!

Now I live in an age-restricted mobile home park. (Yes, I am Trailer Trash™). No screaming kids, no large breed dogs, and most of my neighbors are quiet old people like me. BUT they still get visitors with loud exhaust, and the stereo is cranked up at 11:00 pm. Plus traffic out on the street that people think is a drag strip, so more loud exhaust and blasting music.

Humans are a very noisy species. That is why I enjoy the forest so much. If a bird is making too much noise, I yell at them to shut up, and it goes away. Not so much with humans.

Before HRT- the existence of other people around me.

After HRT- I'm much more patient so can't think of any.

Yeah I can't hack neighbour noise. I'm currently surrounded by noisy neighbours from the furniture upholsterers next door to the party family behind me who think it is ok to build a bar in their garden complete with loud external soundsystem, to my next door neighbour who is obsessed with doing unecessary building work on her house and the pharmaceutical factory over the road which operates 24 hours a day. I'm even on the flight path for the airport and 500 yards from the East Coast High Speed Rail line!

But, I have bought a bungalow in a quiet neighbourhood, no families, no teenage parties, no factory, no rail line. Unfortunately I'm 2 miles further down the flightpath so the planes will still bother me but I actually like watching them. I can't wait to move!
