People who consume multiple french fries per mouthful.

Subways and buses are great places to observe Fry McShoveling.

Is your disgust compelling you to look on? Look away, babe! LOOK AWAY.

— Friday

As if a person could just look away from every disgusting thing that happens in NYC.

Umm you're an idiot, do you know how long it would take to eat them one at a time? Some people don't have all day to eat.

Ummmm then maybe you should skip the fries and save us all the horror of you eating like you were raised in a barn. Ummmmmmkay?

You do realize more people do this than don't? It's a normal way to eat fast food.

I find it sad that being piggy is considered normal.

What if each fry was gigantic? Would that solve the problem?

— Biffy posted 9/19/2009

Can I put 2 together? What about 5? Is that too much? Or must I eat them one by one, no matter what size they are? This peeve is too "white girl with eating disorder" like.

JM doesn't have an opinion, just an attitude problem, apparently...

I suppose we should eat them one at a time, with a fork (held ONLY in the left hand...Eurostyle), and pat our mouths after each fry with a napkin? ;-)

When parents start voicemail messages with "hey [name], it's your mother/father." » My husband does this with his kids! It never fails to drive me bugshit! – Mindy 7/26

Grubby, tangled haired children. » Keeping clean is one thing; the kids I see don't even start out clean. Parents and kids both seem to roll out of bed and go to the local WalMart (where else?) without so much as running as hairbrush through their hair or taking a bar of soap to their bodies. I think we can be quite sure they don't know what a toothbrush is for! The trend of wearing pajama bottoms in public needs to stop as well. – Mindy 7/26

When strangers try to touch my children. » Good god, it's like you read my mind. I absolutely hate it when I'm in the grocery store and people touch my son's feet or poke his little cheeks. Yes, I know he's the cutest thing on this earth but THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN TOUCH HIM – CakeThief 7/24

Air quotes. » use shocker quotes instead. form shocker with fingers, bend to mimic quoting action. – kn obel 7/22

When non-white street beggars call me racist when I don't give them money. » I always want to know if people would feel equally as badly if the opposite were true. Like, if you only gave money to non-white street beggars out of guilt/fear of being perceived as racist. That's racism, too, right? Right? No one complains about that one... – Chelsea 7/22

When non-white street beggars call me racist when I don't give them money. » Ugh. This happened to me when I declined to sign a petition without even hearing what it was about (I was also not a registered voter in that state AND was in a hurry). Jeez, I'm not racist! I hate all petition signature gatherers equally. – Kate 7/21

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. With skull phones just around the corner, it’s likely these peeves will soon become irrelevant—so let’s spray them across the galaxy while we still can.

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.
