I hate it when people stick their Bluetooth headsets in their ears and walk around when they're not using them. It just looks really, really stupid. » I call that look "business douche". 50% human, 50% robot, 100% asshole. – Brandi 3/16

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » I have to side with the poster on this one. I think if you have guests over, you should just deal. It's not an every day thing. – jmc 3/15

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » I agree with the two other comments before me. It's actually much more cleanlier to take them off. It seems to be more of an American ritual. (Canadians by the way tend to take off their shoes always) – Kara 3/15

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » Think of the things buffered by your shoes on your way over to that house/apartment. Dogshit. Gum. Spit. Actual DIRT. Yes, I may have some cat hair on my floor, but the bottoms of your shoes are still too disgusting to be on my carpet. – D. 3/15

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » yes. yes they are. – E. 3/14

Send in your mobile phone pet peeves for the week of February 15th! Perhaps the simplest and most common generator of peeves, the mobile phone prods and pricks us in all places, public and private.

For the next week or so, the pictures for peeves will be of Peeve Pile’s national spokesperson, Rob Grace, and his special person, Shana, enacting various peeves. Please feel free to make such pictures yourself. Just include a link to them when submitting a peeve.

Hello. I’ve added a voting feature, so you can vote as you assume that you would – just click on a one-to-five star rating (it will tell you your vote has been recorded); five indicating that you completely agree with, or find the peeve amusing, one meaning the opposite.

Once a bunch of ratings are in, I’ll add a worst, and best rated area to the right column.
