When somebody in your household constantly finishes the last of something and doesn't replace it.

E.g.: Ibuprofen so the next time you wake up at 2am with cramps there is none to be found. Because walking 45 minutes to the only 24 pharmacy in the city is something one would actually like to do at that hour.

Everybody can forget to replace on occasion, what really gets me is the chronic type who tries to cover up their lazy disrespect by pretending it's all about you not "being chill" enough. These people find it perfectly acceptable to take total advantage of the fact that you make sure certain necessities don't run out. They use up the last of things all the time, but then don't bother replacing them because *THEY* "can deal" with not having the item for awhile.

E.g.: They are fine with routinely finishing the milk but THEY are "totally able" to drink their coffee with or without milk for many days on end (even when they know you can't). These people also seem to have NO QUALMS about eating your specialty items, just the replacing part.

Eventually you might even realize you are buying most of the food because they can "deal without having basic necessities" for extremely long periods of time, so what you thought was "sharing" is in fact them being a selfish asshole.

Yes! I especially hate it when it becomes this game chicken to see who blinks first in the face of utter deprivation from really reasonable comforts of the modern world, e.g. "caffeine addiction is a bad idea anyway" or "you're so bourgeois! Can't you do without toilet paper for a few days? Because I TOTALLY can!" or "but only the light bulb in the bathroom is blown! Do you really need to SEE to shower?"

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.
