31 Day Blogging Challenge Day 7: My Biggest Pet Peeves

What are my biggest pet peeves?

We all have them...those things that annoy us to no end. The small but amazingly frustrating things other people do that make us want to pull our hair out.

One of my biggest pet peeves (probably the biggest TBH), something that has bothered me since I was a child, is people eating/chewing loudly. It grates on my nerves like nothing else. I want to smack those smackers. Just close your mouth and chew as quietly as humanly possible please! And gum...don't get me started on gum. The world would be a much better place if everyone would eat and chew things silently. And someone would remove gum from store shelves forever. My world anyway.

Something else that I consider exceptionally annoying is unkempt fingernails. I have always had naturally long nails that grow fast, so I know a thing or two about nail maintenance. I'm not saying they have to be perfectly manicured, but when you look like you're competing for some kind of longest nail competition...it's time to do something. Also clean them once in a while. If you wash your hands daily (which you should!), then your nails should be relatively clean anyway. Also, men with long nails gross me out.

Speaking of washing hands...I find it exceptionally nasty when people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. I can't tell you the number of times I have been in a public restroom and saw someone come out of a stall and exit the bathroom without stopping off at the sink. First of all, that is unsanitary. You are spreading germs all over everything and I don't even want to think about this anymore. (This is why I never touch door handles in bathrooms.) Secondly, what happens when you pick up food next? Ick. When you're at home, at least run your hands under the water. Hand sanitizer works sometimes but soap is always preferable in my opinion.
