What is your biggest pet peeve and how do you work past it in to come to an agreement in your interpersonal relationships?

For me it is when people have different (higher) expectations of me than they do themselves. This REALLY gets my goat.

Case in point: the bitch lady who got fired for embezzling. She used to argue with me about 10 minutes on my timesheet (and for the record I HAD been truthful).

Then just now, my hubs says he is upset because he felt like I “insinuated” he should have gotten lunch for the rest of the family when he got lunch for only himself at Chipotle. I did not really insinuate. I told him he knows what we all order from there. And HE has been angry with ME in the past for going out to each at a restaurant with a friend and not asking him if he wanted me to bring anything back. Then the NEXT time when I did ask, he complained that it wad cold when I brought it back.

To say I am supremely annoyed right now is an understatement. How do you resolve these types of discussions/differences of opinion with your SO?

  • My biggest pet peeve is tha assistant manager they hired for my store

    Biggest douchebag i have see knows nothing about pools

    Only tells people what they want to hear

  • Is your husband a virgo or an Aries? Why does he kind of sound like my mom 😂 . I completely understand why you’re irritated though my mom has done that to me before she has gotten mad at my boyfriend for not buying her food 🤦‍♂️

    • He is an Aries! 😱 What does this mean?

    • My gosh my mother is an Aries lol. They’re probably the angriest sign

    • Dammit. That does not work well with my harmonious personality.

    • Show All
  • I basically just tell them off when they're being an asshole.

    My biggest pet peeve is my wife's seeming inability to cook 😅

    • She can, but she's lazy as hell and would rather just graze

    • Lolz. I can cook but my hubs complained. Now it’s his job.

    • I suppose I just find her lazy selfishness irritating. I've spoiled her and she acts like a lazy housecat most of the time. At least she looks after the kids though.

    • Show All
  • People who spread misinformation

  • For me it's when people treat others like they are lesser do to gender or race.

    • Oooooh, that gets me too.

    • The other one is when people assume that just because I'm good friends with a woman we must be romantically involved. It's possible, and healthy, to have friendships with the other gender

    • Yes. So very true.

  • I think you should give your partner a break, he might have needed some space to do something on his own, sometimes.

    • I did give him a break. He was angry that I nicely told him I would have appreciated him getting the rest of the family lunch while he was there. He knows what we like. If he wanted to buy lunch just for himself he should have eaten it there. Not in front of us. I was only upset when he made the double standard painfully clear.

    • Yeah that is rude. Maybe you should spank him.

  • My biggest pet peeves is people who don't use their signals when turning or changing lanes.

    It sounds like you are in a damn if you do, damn if you don't type of situation. I never made a big deal if someone was at a fast food place or restaurant and they didn't ask if I wanted anything. I, however, always call to see if someone wanted anything while I was there.

    • This isn’t the first time I have felt damned if you do, damned if you don’t. It is a very stressful place for me.

    • It can be a double edge sword sometimes

  • To be perfectly honest my biggest pet peeve is when my girl snores LMAO , Please don't tell her

    • Awwwww. She can’t help it. I won’t tell her.

  • That's a tough one. I guess it depends how frequently it happens. If it's occationally when someone is stressed out or in a bad mood, it may be easier to let it go. If it's frequent it might be a symptom of a deeper problem.

    • Yup. Not the first time. Sigh.

  • have makeup sex

  • Seriously, people are very difficult to handle.
    I'll just say fuck off

  • Trumpism... and feminists.

  • Uppity people

  • Over political and over opinionated people in that field. How to come over it? It's just about avoiding the topic.

  • Be upfront and honest

  • People ignore me or being rude
