    A good while back I made a topic on berserk buttons, things that downright anger you and can cause you to snap at the worst of times. So, as a lighter follow-up of sorts, how about peeves, things people do that you are irked by, but not to the point of anger?

    People who try to act cute in general really annoy me. You know, the kinds that act like typical shy anime characters, and I don't just mean being shy people, I mean, just pretending or milking the everloving crap out of it by constantly st-stuttering t-through freaking t-text like this and constantly adding ellipsis to be cutesy. Like, those characters are annoying in fiction because of how cliche and overdone they are, but people trying to be like them to appeal to those who like them is SO annoying. I've even met some who act cute and innocent after doing some really scummy things, but I think that's heading more into things that infuriate me than annoy me, so I won't go any further with it. In fact, people who just milk certain traits for attention in general are really annoying. Like, people who call themselves girl gamers instead of just calling themselves gamers, constantly put their sexuality on show (when trying to be a special snowflake, that is), etc. It's just a bit pathetic.

    Another thing that does sorta tie in with the above are people who just ACT self-loathing. I don't think it takes a lot to notice how many people on the internet act self-loathing because it's apparently cool or hip or something, and that REALLY bugs me. Like, I see people who just act all like "blah blah I'm so trash" and totally ignore any compliments given to them and feel the need to constantly point out how "terrible" they are, and it actually has gotten to the point where I feel worse for people with actual self-esteem issues (and to be honest, I genuinely am pretty self-conscious in a lot of areas, not to the point where I'd say my self-esteem is legitimately low but still to the point where I can understand it pretty well) because I'm honestly really skeptical of most people I see claiming to have them because of how many posers are out there.

    Anyways, what are your minor peeves?

    I guess really badly done two facery. It's not so much a peeve,as it is not done to the proper extent.
    If you are going to hide who you really are and pretend to be something you aren't.
    Do it right the FIRST time.

    I think it can be a good weapon against suss people, especially those who gossip about others.
    But when you fail at something, fail with confidence, not just give in to the point of a laughing stock.
    So to conclude, my minor peeve is when someone is basically "fake" but not performed to the fullest potential.

    I am so two faced and fake, that I make chinese knock offs on ebay seem genuine lmao.

    I tend to go from 0 to 100 with no in between, but one thing that irks me is spitting, it doesn't completely anger me because I can just walk around it and continue with my day, it's not too offensive to me.

    There aren't many bodily functions that irk me, but their are things that people say that irk me. One of my friends likes to respond to everything with "Ok", and it pisses me off after a while. This goes for when somebody says, "I don't care". I find both to be rather disrespectful, especially considering that I believe that every needs to listen to what others have to say, whether they care or not. I find that this all falls under basic human courtesy, which a lot of people lack.

    I guess I hate it when I see people approving of something they know to be wrong just because so many other people are doing it or approve of it...

    Ooh, so many things 'irk' me, but I don't react. Nothing can infuriate me more than animal cruelty, which occurs everywhere, but let me and my sister share other things. However blank my memory may be (you may say I am on 'holiday mode'), let me try to remember some things that annoy me...

    Alright, the first thing that annoys me is when people act selfish, or that they need all the attention, not caring about anybody else. I have a slight issue with that, and I could consider it a flaw in me, to perhaps label a lot of things as selfish, even when they aren't. When people place all the attention to themselves, or make other people respect and comment, and they hardly respect anybody else. For instance, somebody says "Look at me go! How great was that?" and demand praise, yet inadvertently. This is alright, yet when they constantly do this and roll their eyes, not caring about at other people's success, it becomes bothersome.

    Attitude is a major thing I consider to be bothersome! A lot of people I know have such a negative attitude that is highly visible by visual orientation, presentability and the way they act. For example, somebody may constantly ramble about something when they aren't sad or facing pressure, such as "I hate my life" without actually being depressed or sad. Or when people show disrespect to parents who treat them right.

    I'll only give this example, as I do not want to anger myself even thinking about this! Yet I believe I have gotten more accepting of things, as many people around me (no, not in Lake Valor) tend to act in ways I do not approve of, and I have no power to ask them to stop.

    Lugia:

    I get irked a lot, but nothing angers me more than seeing people smoke in public. How inconsiderate are they, what if someone with asthma walks by? I, for instance, can not breathe in smoke, and I have to hold my breath constantly in outside shops and cafes, fearing for my life as the second hand smoke that I inhale can develop into cancer, which actually does happen. Even today, the person in front of me had a smoke and I quickly ran into the closest shop to breathe.

    Another thing that annoys me is when I am over at someone's house, and the people whom I have visited are constantly on their phones or chatting with another person. What was the reason that I came? It doesn't happen with adults often, but with teenagers more commonly.

    People who keep saying that they are dark and evil bothers me so much. What has this world created for people to despise righteousness? This also ties into people who like to joke a lot. As in A LOT. Me being gullible, I find this selfish. People who joke around for their own laugh is being selfish, and I get angry at this.

    Well, this concludes, but I hope I don't seem to angry!

    I don't do well when people consistently tap their foot on the ground. Once in a while is fine, but when it's aggressively hitting the floor, it feels like a mini-earthquake. The sound it makes makes me feel like I'm surrounded by an annoying fly. Just no bueno man. No bueno.

    Something that's always frustrated me is when people are just being fake. Frankly, the people I choose to spend my time with are usually the only people I can bear the company of. (Don't let that make it sound like that's the only reason I hang around them, because there's a lot more to it than that.) Everyone else is just putting on a show of some kind, and it's annoying as all hell.

    I've seen people act super friendly around each other, but then when they're not around each other they'll gossip and trash talk, or discuss what they dislike about the other(s). It's all a selfish front that doesn't have any depth to it, and I refuse to be a part of that.

    I suppose that's more of what infuriates me than just irks me, but when I see this come out in little peices during everyday life, those are the things that annoy me.

    Not a lot irks me atm. Or at least some things used to but I looked at myself and kinda thought I probably do a lot of things that irk people accidentally.

    And that's what irks me. People getting annoyed at me for things I just do. I'm a terrible fidget, I like to be nice, I walk stupidly at times, I pun a lot, I can be messy with food, I eat a lot of what's considered garbage, I enjoy human contact and I go crazy about things that are considered nerd trash. That's just me. If you're gonna get annoyed at me for being me get your priorities right. I not gonna stop something cause it destroys your, oh-so-perfect reality where people conform to what you desire.

    It only irks me more when people say to learn to control those things, because I'm sorry excuse me? In what way do those things affect you? I'll respect that you don't like hugging or a particular franchise I'm into, I just won't do those to you, but with other people don't get annoyed about it. I'm in no way affecting you. I'm not your dumb puppet.

    I'm sorry I'm just tired rn. Please just, don't get annoyed at me for being me, it really gets on my nerves
