When you ask someone a yes or no question and they respond simply by saying "please."
When I am at my retail job and someone is buying a really small item (something that could very easily be carried) I always ask them if they need a bag (in the hopes that they won't and I can possibly limit the number of wasteful bags being dispensed). Upon asking the customer if they need a bag for their purchase and they look at me tartly and say "please" as if they had never even considered the option of not wasting a plastic bag.

Unevenly arranged sandwich fillings.
I was just at a Subway today, and the Caribbean lime chicken didn't make it to the edges of the bread. Because of this, the tomato and cucumber slipped into the vast chicken-less crevasse. I had to take multiple bites in one go to avoid a mouthful of just tomato and bread. The worst is when this happens with a burrito. I don't want to eat a dry rice-filled tortilla.

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.
