Getting irritated by these sounds seems a pretty natural reaction but there is also a condition known as misophonia that causes people to have intense reactions to these specific sounds.

There are several people with misophonia and so am I which makes us frustrated and even enraged at some point by these repetitive eating habits and sounds.

2. Repetitive Tapping

Repetitive tapping is another common pet peeve that is hated by several people. No matter if it is a tapping sound from a pencil, foot, pen, or a non-stop tapping it can not only be annoying but also distracting.

You must know that the person is not playing the drums and their tapping needs to be stopped for your well-being and mental peace.

3. Texting During a Meal

Texting during a meal is a serious pet peeve that makes your friends to avoid spending time with you.

If you have gone out for a dinner with your friends or partner and they are constantly looking at their phone the entire meal is not only rude but also disrespectful. 

You probably know how annoying or irritating this can be that makes you feel hurt and you will no longer want to spend more time with them.

4. Taking Phone Calls in Public

Taking phone calls in public is annoying for many people. There are two reasons why taking phone calls in public is frustrating for both your family and for other people and is considered one of the most common pet peeves in a relationship.

Example 1:- If you are in a peaceful park or in a crowded train and shouting on the other side of the phone call, not only disturbs your family’s mental peace but also of the others.

Example 2:- If you are in public sitting in a park or restaurant with your friends or spouse, and talking over the phone with someone regarding any work is annoying as you won’t be able to be with your close ones mentally and they will avoid spending time with you.

5. Driving too Close to the Car in Front

You must know that driving too close to the front car or any vehicle is known as tailgating which is another common pet peeve humans are having within themselves.

Tailgating is never an acceptable conception and is the most standard reason of road rage incidents and accidents. 

If you are not conscious of how close is too close, then make sure to keep one car length between you and other vehicles that are in front of you for every 10mph.

6. People Who Constantly Brag About Their Richness

The most annoying and highly frustrating thing about most people is that they constantly brag about their richness.

I have come across these over-confident and uselessly arrogant people who don’t see other people as they are but keep everyone below themselves. 

Bragging constantly about your richness is an arrogant pet peeve that drives people away from you. Nobody will ever want to share anything with you if you are like this. Trust me this is super annoying.

Final Talk

A pet peeve is something that a person finds extremely annoying and frustrating. Typically, a pet peeve makes an individual absurdly upset because it is personal in nature and generally plays upon their emotions or nerves.

With all the above-mentioned most common pet peeves list for relationships, you would have understood what you need to avoid and why.

There are more kinds of pesky things such as littering, misusing punctuation, talking during movies, going slow in a lane, and several other things. If something like this is pushing you crazy, then this is a pet peeve.
