That irked me until I stopped holding doors for people. I simply don't bother holding the door for people. If they are right behind me I'll push the door further open as I enter but that's about it. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, I'll still hold the door open for old people and people who have their hands full with children.

On the flip side, it also irks me when people hold the door open for me when I'm 25+ feet behind them. They expect you to run to the door or at least quicken your pace.

I'm with you on that, I'm much too portly to be hustling to an open door.

On that note, I hate when people try to be too nice and accommodating, because sometimes it can just cause more problems. Like when you're trying to make a left turn and someone coming the other way is trying to turn right. If they just go first like they're supposed to you can follow behind and it's no big deal; but, those rare times that they try to stop and wave you by you usually end up stopped in an intersection like an idiot.

Basically people in general are my pet peeve. I think I was a sociology major because I wanted to know what made people so universally annoying, but unfortunately we didn't cover that in any of my undergrad classes. Maybe that's a grad school thing.

Clearly the #1 pet peeve in this thread!

5) people who type 'to' instead of 'too'

4) ignorance

3) Ravens fans who are old enough to have watched football and had a team (namely the skins) before the ravens moved to town...and use the worst possible excuse for not liking the skins, u know the whole "Before the ravens came to Baltimore, I didn't really have a team, I just liked to watch football". No matter what they say, either they were spineless fairweather fans who jumped ship when the skins were struggling and the ravens did well OR they aren't true football fans anyway b/c they didn't care enough to follow a team until it came signed sealed and delivered to their doorstep. true baltimorons!

2) females who are clearly attractive who point out some sort of flaw of theirs that isn't really a flaw in an attempt to eek out a compliment

1) people who spell the word definitely with and A...GOD I HATE THAT!

There is one such occasion when PMS is not to blame for an argument. That would be when both of the people arguing are male.

No, not always. Sometimes it's just the female hormones.

hess, what is this "agrument" you are talking so much about? Are those the type of arguments where PMS is NEVER to blame?
