When people scrape their teeth on a metal fork while eating.
This sound makes me feel like my head is going to explode.

The non-existance of unpadded bras in cup sizes less than D. Macy's, Victoria's secret, and Bloomingdales do not carry them. unpadded. » I'm a 36DD. I do need thin padding so no1 loses an eye on cool days & that hasn't been hard to find. What I am having zero success with is a bra my size that offers some semi-thick padding beneath my breasts. I know that the purpose of this padding is to offer girls with a smaller cup sz some added lift, but with DDs I need lift too, just for a different reason. I don't want the "girls" smacking my chin, but I don't want them slapping my knees either. – drinna28 5/15

When deli sandwiches or bagels with cream cheese are cut in half but the cut does not go all the way through, so you have to tear it in half anyway.

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.
