[quote=Anonymous]OK, here are some from my list of vaugely unreasonable petty pet peeves:

When families dress two kids in matching outfits

When people load dishwashers starting in the front

When metro escalator riders don't treat the left side as the passing lane (even if you're walking, move to the right if you're not passing - I know that's kind of silly!)

Sippy cups

Thomas the Train

Environments and people that are overly clean

The word "mommy"

Use of SWF, or "straight male" or similar in housing ads (why would you do that? so your prospective landlord can say "oh good, she's not Black" or "oh good, he's not gay"...?)

Overuse of the word "individual" to describe oneself, as in "I'm a creative individual"

Kids menus

People who mumble or are otherwise not clear communicators

Eye shadow

Marketing for diapers and other kid/baby products that speaks specifically to Moms. Really? You think that implying that I am more responsible for changing diapers than my husband would make me want to buy your product? And on the flip side, my husband is fine being an Amazon Mom, but he may not be typical.

Low-fat diets, and the people who still believe in them

Social environments where certain polite conventions are not upheld (like offering guests something to drink)

Posing too many questions to little kids, like, "Are you ready for your nap?" "Is it OK if Sally plays in this area too?" "Can mommy share your banana?" "What do you want for breakfast?"

You are now likely at your limit for reading about the more petty aspects of my inner life.[/quote]
