The 17 Most Annoying Things in Existence

Let’s face it: there are some things in life that we just can’t help but be annoyed by. Here are some of our worst pet peeves! 

1. Slow walkers

If it were up to us, sidewalks would have slow and fast lanes.

2. People who chew with their mouths open

Why? Just… why?

3. Forgetting your password

Commence freak-out mode now.

4. People who wait in line and then don’t know what they want to order when they get to the front

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME?!

5. Roommates who leave their dirty dishes in the sink

The dishwasher is literally a foot away. 

6. People who use the wrong “you’re” on social media

Every time someone uses “your” when it should be “you’re,” an English major cringes. 

7. Not being able to find matching socks

Life’s greatest mystery is how all of those socks seem to disappear from the dryer.

8. People who drive under the speed limit

Road rage has never been more real. 

9. Empty toilet paper rolls

Instant day-ruiner.

10. People who use “literally” the wrong way

Did you literally die laughing? Literally die?

11. People who crack their knuckles

This sound is up there with nails on a chalkboard. 

12. That one person in class who turns everything into a debate

“She doesn’t even go here…”

13. Seeing a really cute top and not being able to find your size

The struggle is real.

14. Drivers who don’t use turn signals

Also, people who use their blinkers AFTER changing lanes.

15. People who don’t clear the remaining time on the microwave after taking their food out

Just take the .02 seconds to press the button and we’ll all be a lot happier.

16. Double dippers

Can you not?

17. People who always cancel plans

Oh it’s fine, it’s not like I just spent an hour getting ready or anything.
