Plastic masquerading as metal
When I buy something that looks like chromed metal, I tend to assume that it is indeed metal. Then I get home and find it's just flimsy plastic painted silver. If you're gonna make things out of plastic, can't they just be plastic? What makes it even worse is when you clean it and the silver paint starts to rub off.

Meeting a barely known acquaintance on a train, then having to make awkward conversation for the duration of the journey.
Especially when you can not, for the life of you, remember their name.

The word 'hubby' in place of 'husband'
We get it, you're married, middleaged, and don't possess a sense of embarrassment. I hate you. And so does your hubby!

Thanks to a recent torrent of spam, I’ve had to disable comments for a while. I’ve now removed the ability to put links in the comments. Email me if you want to put something in, such as five links to knock-off handbag sites, and I’ll happily oblige.

I’ve added two features to the sidebar: Highest Rating and Hotly Debated. They will be updated daily. To my surprise, the ketchup-in-fridge peeve seemed to really incite some anger — it’s clearly a complex situation that affects us all.

It should be noted that the star ratings indicate how much you agree with, or appreciate, the peeve, not how you feel when it happens.

I will be adding a Paragon Peeves section as well, for my and my friends’ personal favorites.

Please enjoy, and contact me if you have any new feature ideas.
