My MIL does this. I can’t be in an enclosed space which her when she has gum. It’s disgusting

Building on this, posters here who post a multi-paragraph about how terrible their husband is, but refer to his as "DH" throughout. The D stands for dear, you nitwit, and based on your post, he is anything but.

People (and there are a lot of you) who use "over" when it should be "more than" or "under" when it "less than."

People who walk around while they’re eating an apple like they’re showing off or something.

OMG, this made me laugh out loud!

Or when I start preparing breakfast or lunch for myself and all of a sudden, DH has to do the same. In the same space.

Phone trees. Especially when trying to get a complex question answered by an actual human.

I'm closing out a deceased parent's messy estate, and the phone trees have been *enraging.* They never bothered me in the past. Now I want a double dose of Valium before I even dial a number.

It doesn't have to stand for dear, actually.

Like some romcom or reality show, which he hates. But then he just... won't go. He'll sit there watching whatever it is with me, sometimes vocally complaining about it, and not going to bed. It drives me crazy! I'll tell him if he's going to stay out in the living room he can't criticize what I'm watching, and he'll be quiet, but it will still annoy me he's there. I normally love his company but there's something about this specific situation that just makes me want to tell him to GTFO. I just want some alone time.

Ohh this is a good one.

And people who say "less" rather than "fewer" and "take" rather than "bring" (and vice-versa).

Also: People who say "I wish I would have" rather than, "I wish I had." It is shocking to me that even professional writers do this.

It's Mr. Peanut that does it for me. And he's not even a real nut! Complete imposter.

When circumstances dictate that I could be legitimately angry, I have to consciously realize it, then decide whether "acting" angry will get me any useful compensation. Usually I just take the path of least resistance and I continue with my patient self, and people are grateful. It buys me goodwill for when I need favors.

When reading these threads (they crop up once in a while, pet peeves and whatnot), I marvel at how angry some of you get on a regular basis.
