Saying, "lull in the conversation!" or, "awkward silence!"

It isn't awkward until someone points it out, and why can't people be together without talking for a few moments?

YES! someone else feels the same way as me =P that just makes the situation 100x more awkward

— Chantelle

The best thing to say to increase awkward silence is "So what do you want to talk about now?"

Apparently people have to be yammering to someone 24/7. As evidenced by driving, shopping, riding public transport, working out, standing in line anywhere, or eating, while talking on the phone. Are people so insecure they can't be quiet or be alone for 30 minutes?

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.
