I hate watching people bite their nails/face, etc - super gross and unsanitary!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL laptop sleeve, my mac would fit perfectly :)
Beautiful sleeve..love the gray n yello :).. I hate people scratching themselves esp in public. Another thing I cant stand is sarcastic comments
ReplyDeleteLovely! Would love it! Biggest pet peeve is sniffling. Makes me crazy.
ReplyDeletecute! my pet peeve changes a lot. but one big one is shmacksing - people who chew LOUDLY with their mouths open like a cow chewing its cud. yuk!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is.... hmmm, there are a few of them.
ReplyDeleteI guess it would be not doing something when you said you would.
If you say you're going to call, call. If you say you are going to
get rid of something, then do it. LOL

hmm, picking at finger nails and the skin around them, makes me skin crawl, yuk!
ReplyDeletePlease don't sing any commercial jingles around me. It drives me nuts because then I have that annoying song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. (Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer weiner...) Gorgeous laptop sleeve you've made there. So pretty and functional!
ReplyDeleteCute cover!! My pet peeve - adding salt or pepper or anything to a carefully created dish before even tasting it!!! (my husband, ahem)
ReplyDeleteI hate the coughing-up-stuff noise. Worst.noise.ever.
ReplyDeleteTeenagers fighting...there's a lot of that at my house at the moment!
ReplyDeletePeople eating Popcorn while I am trying to watch TV would be mine...unless I am eating it too.
ReplyDeleteToilet paper put on the holder wrong. It has to face out
ReplyDeleteloud sighing! again and again! urghhh!
ReplyDeleteit's hard to just pick one!! my pet peeve is someone taking and eating the last of something but not eating it all! like there's one delicious cookie left and someone takes 2 bites out of it and then just leaves it. OR last soda, someone (my sister) opens it and drinks 1/2 then leaves it on the table. really?? arrrrgh!
ReplyDeleteWhat I hate most is going into the kitchen and seeing the doors to the cabinets open. It drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great laptop sleeve! I love that the closure is a button, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is when people bite their nails near me and do it loudly. There's one girl I sit next to in a class who does just that and it irritates me endlessly! There's plenty more though :P Happy giveaway day!
dramallama56(at)hotmail(dot)com
My biggest pet peeve is people not paying attention while driving! RAWR.
ReplyDeletecurrently my biggest pet peeve is probably shorts with tights...except that the shorts are so tight and short that you see the seams of the tight legs or the pattern on the tights stop. the tights manufacturers never intended that much to show-why do people think that looks classy?!
ReplyDeletePeople who don't clean out the bathroom drains--hair is yucky! christina112358 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI don't like watching people brushing their teeth - especially when they've used too much toothpaste and they are foaming at the mouth. Yuk!
ReplyDeleteGreat sleeve, by the way.
I really don't like it when people scratch their fingernails on styrofoam or a chalkboard.....uggghhh!!
ReplyDeleteI love this giveaway! It would fit our laptop PERFECTLY!

Beautiful. My biggest pet peeve is loud chewing (esp mouth open) or swallowing right next to me. My husband and oldest daughter are pros at this.
ReplyDeletePet peeve...mouth open chewing lol! Thanks for such a chance at a gorgeous bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the sleeve...gorgeous! Nails on a chalkboard for me...literally. Ick. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePet peeve ...when people honk when they blow their nose.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Here's hoping you let me continue to be lazy about making a laptop sleeve of my own! My pet peeve is when people mispronounce words (or use a word that means something different from what they are trying to say). For example - "fustrated" for frustrated. Adults shouldn't talk like three-year-olds!
ReplyDeleteSarah
I simply can't stand the sound of spit rolling around in someone's mouth. It's gross to talk about, I know, but I even change the radio station if I can hear the spit while the announcer talks. I am an extremely calm and patient person, but spit-sounds drive me crazy! :) bsimone42@gmail.com
ReplyDeletePS--I LOVE your logo!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of pet peeves. Nose hair, sniffing/snorting, certain laughs...
ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely giveaway! I could really use a laptop sleeve!!

lmchishaffer@aol.com
Chewing with your mouth open, ugh - my husband is the worst at that, especially when eating cereal! Smoosh, smoosh smoosh... grossest sound ever! lol I say something EVERY morning and we've been married 5 years... I won't give up! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a tie between people cutting in line and mouth noises (cleaning teeth with your tongue, chewing with your mouth open, drinking loudly, etc).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! This laptop rocks and I would definitely be ready for people to stop me on the street. :)
Clicking or tapping a pen drives me nuts. It's even worse if more than one person at a meeting is doing it.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people leaving stuff around the house without putting it away, and the piles of "I'll take care of that later"...do it now, it's not that hard to do!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people talking loudly on the bus when I'm trying to read.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people who dwell on the past too much. I have some people like that around me and it's a difficult thing.
ReplyDeleteOoh, beautiful laptop sleeve! My biggest pet peeve is when people leave their chairs out and don't put them back under the table. Makes me a little crazy. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletemrsmchappell at gmail dot com
The sleeve is just stunning! I can't stand going into stores where prices are not clearly marked, and then the sales people are annoyed you need help! I end up leaving, and not buying. ;(
ReplyDeletebiggest pet peeve is when someone says that they are going to do something and then doesn't.... I have friends that do that when it is simply because they don't want to , no matter if there are others who are relying on them! BEAUTIFUL WORK!!! Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI hate people leaving the kitchen cabinet doors open. How hard is it to give it a little push when you're done getting a plate out?
ReplyDeleteI can NOT stand bread ties. So random I know but I always throw them away. I do not like them.
ReplyDeleteI can't handle when my husband forgets to wipe down the sink after he washes his face! Yuk!
ReplyDeleteJenna

umm... which one should I say... I have so many.. oops.. The sound of people eating/having things in their mouths really grosses me out. Worst offenders are gum, cereal, apples (!!!!), and the guy who eats at his desk next to me who chews with his front teeth. Seriously, it's disgusting and makes me want to vom.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand it when someone leaves a restroom stall and I don't hear any water running but I hear the door open/close!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Nancy! Lots of pet peeves, but the first that comes to mind is when people assume the rules don't apply to them. So many examples of this: people who don't follow traffic rules, people who let dogs run loose in parks where it is prohibited, people who smoke in public places where they shouldn't, etc.
ReplyDeleteI just about lose it when people use their tongue to "suck" pieces of food out from between their teeth after eating. I have to stop myself from saying "hey! stop that sucking noise before I smack you one!"
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I'm having a hot flash just thinking about it.
When people say EXspresso. There's no darn X in espresso!w But I LOVE when people use Joel Dewberry fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteBiggest pet peeve, probably people who run red lights and/or don't use turn signals! So many things about driving bug me! :) Thanks for the chance to win such a cute gift!
ReplyDeleteI think my biggest pet peeve is whining- I am working hard on my kids to stop that terrible habit! Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAmy @ Gabriel's Good Tidings
gabrielsgoodtidings.blogspot.com
My biggest pet peeve right now is "I'm board", to combat this I have created a list of chores and the offender gets what is next on the list. I haven't heard I'm board in a few days I think it may be working.
ReplyDeleteHmm.... my kids' whining and bickering is what gets on my nerves lately. Thank goodness it's spring/summer so I can send them outside. :)
ReplyDeleteThe improper use of there/their/they're and your/you're. It drives me nuts! Also text speak. Are we that lazy that we can't actually spell out the word? It's not like you get charged by the letter!
ReplyDeleteIt aggrevates the crap outta me when my hubby takes out the trash and doesn't put a new bag in the can...grrr love this case:
ReplyDeletemy biggest pet peeve, people not following road rules or speed limits. why are you going 25 on a 45 zone????????????????
ReplyDeleteJust one? Hmmm.... when people think they have nothing left to learn.
ReplyDeletePS - I'm at stephw3-at-yahoo-dot-com and great laptop sleeve!
DeleteI can't stand loud gum chewers! And my lovely boyfriend is one of them ;)
ReplyDeletexoxo
I hate hate hate bad table manners.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely abhor when people clip their nails at the office. That's an 'at home' thing. Not an 'in your cubicle so all can hear' thing! Grrr! GORGEOUS case, though! I love the fabrics!!! jinglesells at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people who don't taste food the way it was cooked before ruining it. I spent 3 hours cooking dinner the other night. I, feeling very proud of myself, put a plate in front of my husband and asked him how he liked it. "I don't know yet." He then commenced to putting half a bottle of ranch on top of it and then told me it was good. I could have clobbered him to death. Ugh!
ReplyDeletemy biggest pet peeve is my husband not drying out sinks after he uses them. I know its weird, but I will run into a room after him to dry the sink.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteRight now my pet peeve is people who don't follow the guidelines for school dropoff. It's May, you should know by now where to pull up and where to wait!
Ugh! I cannot stand it when people make food noises while they are eating. Like Mmm.. oo... ah..
ReplyDeleteIt makes me super uncomfortable.
I love those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI have a job as a cashiere so my biggest pet peeve is when people dont greet me, it drives me nuts!
My pet peeve... Long toenails. Gross!
ReplyDeleteCutie_cheer2005(at)yahoo(dot)com
Noisy eaters. Or my dog licking himself- they're similar noises. I'm definitely a noise hating person!
ReplyDeletePeople who carry on cell phone conversations in small spaces as if they are out in a field. Really, most of the time I REALLY don't need to know it all....
ReplyDeleteI really hate when people leave their blinkers on. I never can tell if they are turning or not. I also hate when people don't use their blinkers to turn.
ReplyDeletemframe00@gmail.com
thanks for participating in the giveaway! although i have too many pet eeves to be conciderd rational, one of my biggest would have to be people that take off their shoes in public. it's not the sight of feet i find so repugnant, but without fail the people that take off their shoes in public have never.in.their.life taken a bar of soap to the soles of ther feet, or a loofah to the heel, or clippers to the nails. cloven feet are not attractive, and none of us need to witness your slow metamorphosis into a minotaur. rant over.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sleeve--and I'm getting a new laptop at work, woohoo!Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve as of late: trying to enjoy dinner in a restaurant and someone answers their phone and LOUDLY carries on an extended conversation! YIKES, I CANNOT STAND IT!
Thanks for letting me vent. Whew, I feel better!
Heh heh, I agree with so many of these pet peeves! My biggest one is I hate people who smack their lips when they chew. Close your mouth, yo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! :)
Such a lovely cover! Right now my pet peeve is blowing your nose at the dinner table. So disgusting.
ReplyDeleteLovely sleeve! Grey and yellow are a fab combination. My pet peeves are many (I'm a little cranky sometimes), but in particular I am annoyed by the rude honking all the drivers seem to do here in France. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteThis sleeve is uber cool. Pet peeve...signboards with bad spelling/grammar (like an apostrophe before the s for a plural)
ReplyDeleteCute sleeve - love the fabrics. One of my pet peeves is hearing people eat. Drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteBiggest pet-peeve: rudeness.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Nancy! I wanna weeeeeeen!
ReplyDeletePet peeve: When my glasses get dirty. If I don't have anything to clean them with, I'd rather take them off and get a head ache. I also don't like when the yoke of my beautiful sunny side up egg breaks while in the cooking process.
DeleteI meant yolk.
Deletemy 7 yo DS not lifting the seat up !!!
ReplyDeletePet peeve would be lazy people complaining about people not do their job!!!
ReplyDeleteI think my biggest pet-peeve is when people don't follow through when they say they are going to do something. Gosh that urks me tons!
ReplyDeleteLeaving dirty dishes next to the sink rather than just placing them in the sink.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand my husband picking his toe nails while watching TV!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love Joel Dewberry! I can't stand mouth sounds. Chewing loudly, glugging water, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve? chronic lateness. It drives me bonkers when someone is chronically late. If you know you're usually late, can't you make an effort to leave earlier???
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve, drivers that cut in and out of traffic lanes trying to get ahead.
ReplyDeleteA~dorable!!!! My biggest pet peeve is having to listen to people chew. I don't know why some people have to be so loud when they eat! Thanks for the chance! Smiles~beth
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics you chose! Biggest pet peeve...probably people who leave shopping carts in the middle of parking lots...how hard is it to walk 20 ft and put your cart in the cart return...seriously...
ReplyDeletewhew. I had to stop reading others' comments because I was getting so grossed out! Rather tamer, my pet peeves mostly are language use/ spelling ones. I'm a stickler for correct grammar and spelling. People using "text speak" when their characters aren't limited ticks me off. Worst though is when teachers or other people kids look to spell things incorrectly or use the wrong it's/ its/ its' (for example). That said, I do so love yellow and gray together and your blog is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is having to buy plastic non reusable bags at the supermarket because I forgot my reusable hopping bag.
ReplyDeleteI live in Barcelona, Spain. It's very common in Europe to buy your grocery bags and usually they are made of plastic...a total waste and an awful way to pollute the environment. These bags are said to be used for 12 minutes but they last 1000 years!
DeleteMy biggest pet peeve is incorrect word usage. I always hear Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride in my head... "I do not think it means what you think it means."
ReplyDeleteWow! That bag does ROCK! I really like the color combo you used.
ReplyDeletePet peeve.... Not using your blinker! How hard is it to use that thing!?!
turtletotebags@yahoo.com
Gorgeous work. I'd definitely tote my laptop around in plain site all the time.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve, that's a tuffy (I have a few...). I'd say mi biggest is the clipping of toe/finger nails. The sound it makes makes my skin crawl.
The sound of knuckles cracking makes me nauseous. New to your blog and it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat really winds me up is when people lie. Some people will tell a lie even when it's obvious that they're not telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people who cut me off and then proceed to drive ten miles under the speed limit!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... one of my biggest pet peeves is having someone try to carry on a conversation with me while I am trying to read something. It overloads my brain! Fabulous project by the way!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is dirty dishes in the middle of the sink. I would rather they be stacked to the side so I can still clean my dishes!
ReplyDeleteThat's so easy, my husband thinks cupboard doors automatically close themselves when he leaves the room. I can trace a path of where he's been from the open drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. It drives me nuts!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve? People who cannot put away their cell phones long enough to pay attention to the clerk at the counter. It is just rude, rude, rude!!
ReplyDeleteBiggest pet peeve is people who don't say thank you after I've held the door open/stood to the side in the supermarket/let them on the bus/train first. Eh, ignorance is my pet peeve!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet-peeve would have to be smacking and eating with your mouth open. More the smacking part, It just annoys me more than anything. comet_linear at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteIt sounds weird, but loud yawners are my biggest pet peeve. It is just obnoxious. Anyway, I love the fabrics you chose! Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is when people put chewed bubble gum on the side of their plate or something to *save* it until we are all done eating...it truly grosses me out! :)
ReplyDeletethecountryblossom at hotmail dot com
My pet peeve is when people think it's ok to clip their fingernails in public! Please save personal grooming for the privacy of your own home!

Biggest pet peeve...eesh, that is difficult. I can't stand it when people don't pay attention when they are merging onto the freeway.
ReplyDeletespondah AT aol DOT com
Pet peeve...clipping fingernails in a restaurant...yuck!
ReplyDeleteFunny - we were just talking about pet peeves this weekend. My mom saying the word "bolero" is one of them but that's pretty specific. More relatable...people speaking when they have food in their mouth. Argh.
ReplyDeleteI would happily tell people the laptop sleeve was made by someone who rocks and sews and blogs. :) Thanks for the chance.
lwghosts at yahoo dot com
I can't stand someone whistling what they think is a great song and it isn't even close. So very annoying!
ReplyDeleteThat is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteThe nails in public thing is beyond gross. HUGE pet peeve: don't ask me the same question you asked me 2 minutes before. or even the day before because you weren't really listening the first time.
Biggest pet peeve is.... people ignoring someone when they get smiled at... especially when it's a toddler/baby smiling at you - why would you ignore them???? Argh!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty laptop sleeve! One of my biggest pet peeves is people who are rude to service workers. I worked as a cashier in high school and people could be so ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest pet peeves is people who eat noisily! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI hate the negative trash talk people on talk radio do.
ReplyDeletewhere I live they have church people standing on the corner of the roads on Saturdays, and I just hate it when I see them have their young children either go from car to car or even just standing on the grass media as I am so afraid of a car accident and them hitting those children...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I hate drivers who don't use their blinkers
ReplyDeleteI hate when people take pictures of their pets on the quilts of crafts they just made. Ewe! It skeeves me out. I just picture their fat cat just mozied out of the litter box with some hangers-on and it's now lounging on that lovely fabric. (gags)
ReplyDeleteIn any case. Yes, your laptop sleeve is, like, totally awesome sauce. (Just pick me!)
Pet peeve... People who can't calmly assess a situation and deal with it. I can't stand it when people overreact. Weird, I know. :)
ReplyDeletepet peeve - when my husband shaves over the bathroom counter and then leaves his beard hairs all over. SO GROSS. like seriously, I'm sorry you even had to read that. now i am just worked up :) super cute laptop sleeve!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is when my husband leaves the dishcloth all scrunched up in the bottom of the sink. ICK!! DOUBLE ICK!
ReplyDeletesmcintosh12(at)gmail(dot)com
Chewing with an open mouth. Arghh. It's awful
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this laptop sleeve! One of my biggest pet peeves is incorrect grammar, misspelled words, etc. It drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteI love that laptop sleeve! I want one!
ReplyDeletesorry for the second post....
ReplyDeletemy pet peeve is chewing ice!!!crunch crunch
My pet peeve is a cell phone ringing during church. . . Unless it is God calling, do you really need to be answering your phone then?!
ReplyDeletePeople standing above me with their coffees sloshing on the subway. Terrified I'm going to get dripped on.
ReplyDelete(Sorry, I don't have a login id for this, so my email is inkahmedia on yahoo.com)
Not a fan when someone begins a story with "it 's so interesting...". Let pme decide if I think the story has legs of its own.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, love that laptop sleeve and I need one so bad! My pet peeve? It's kinda gross...when, mostly guys, blow their noses without a tissue if you get my drift. Yuck!! So, so very disgusting! That and spitting!
ReplyDeleteWhen people leave trash 2 feet from the trash can. :P The laptop sleeve is lovely! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletegrokgrace(at)hotmail(dot)com
I cannot stand when my hubby or kids drop off their shoes right inside the front door. "Set them aside!" I'm always nagging :)
ReplyDeletecynsaw2(at)yahoo(dot)ca
Head lice. You guessed it. They are out and about at our school. So far we have dodged them, but, like many nasties, perhaps it is only a matter of time!!
ReplyDeletePeople making and taking mobile calls on the train and talking so loud is disturbs other people.
ReplyDeleteLove the laptop sleeve by the way
I can't stand when people drag their feet. Really people?? Are they too heavy to lift?! If so, you need to work out!
ReplyDeleteI really don't like it when my children read the opening credits to a family movie!! They can the trumpet sound to 20th Century Fox just don't read the credits!! LMAO...
ReplyDeletexo Steph
Great laptop cover.
ReplyDeleteRight now my biggest thing I can't stand is how my daughter won't sit at the table, she leans on it, bounces, stands, etc during a meal... and then to make it worse my husband will yell at her, then we have a disaster...
I really love how it looks. It has a relaxing feel to it like you're always at home when you see it. My pet peeve would be those people who chew so loudly when eating.
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve.... people who squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle.
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is people who talk smack behind your back and suck up to your face.
ReplyDeletemajorasue at hotmail dot com
I love the sleeve, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hate when people complains about everything, without making any effort to make it better.
Love the sleeve, my mum could use one of those! A big peeve of mine is people who drive 20-30km/hr under the speed limit because of bad weather but won't put their headlights on. I just don't get it...
ReplyDeleteI can't stand listening to people chew. It's horrid! And I totally agree about the cereal/milk thing. My son does that no matter how much I ask him not to! Drives me nuts!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand it when people don't wave when you let them in while driving. How hard is it people!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso people who spend all the time on their electronic devices when you are visiting. Is it soooo important!! I think not.
Love the sleeve, I need to make one for my laptop but haven't got around to it.
Being asked a question when the asker doesn't care or listen to my response - like how are you?
ReplyDeleteknuckles cracking ... uarghh ... - beginning every second sentence with "uhmm well ... " - having hour long conversations on the phone using public transport (it's usually a "too much information" situation)
ReplyDeleteHahaha - this is a pretty rad sleeve :)
ReplyDeleteOoh - I can just have a rage-fit when someone says "Ta" instead of "Thank you". How was something designed to acknowledge another person's effort and time be shortened to something so incredibly dismissive? Ugh - take the time to say two words!

I really can't stand bad eating manners... have the elbows on the table while eating or a hand under the table... talking while eating... (so everybody can see the food inside your mouth)... holding the fork and knife not at the end...
ReplyDeleteI know... not the important things in life... but on the other hand, one should appreciate food and all the work that went into it... having eating manners is not to complicated...
It bugs me when people crunch chips really loudly. Really bugs me.
ReplyDeleteI love this laptop sleeve. Adorable!
Nice laptop sleeve.
ReplyDeleteI really hate to see people spitting on the street.
Love the laptop sleeve. I hate it when the paper on the toilet paper roll goes "under" the back instead of "over" the top. haha. I don't know why, but it really drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteVery cute sleeve!! Nice job Nancy! Now that I'm a Mom I seem to have a TON of pet peeves! First major one is probably pretty common.....I HATE repeating my self more than twice. Secondly I can't STAND it when no one replaces the toilet paper roll! Drives me batty!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS lap top sleeve, just beautiful Nancy. My pet peeve is rude drivers - especially when you do something nice for them and then they don't even acknowledge it.... thanks for the fantastic giveaway
ReplyDeleteWhen people who don't have kids say what they will "never" do when they have their kids, it irks me. I was that person before I had kids too though so I don't get really upset. I also hate the noise my husband makes when he gets a rough fingernail and tries to fix it smoother with his teeth.
ReplyDeleteIt annoys me when people leave wet towels on the floor and expect Mum to pick them up!!! Cheers, Karen
ReplyDeleteLOL...love your peeves...
ReplyDeleteMine is people who don't know how to drive...whether they just forgot, got too old or are just idiotic, you need to go the speed limit(at least) and use your signals! =)
Thanks for a chance to win.
Love your laptop sleeve! big pet peeve- people texting during dinner. What can possibly be more important than talking to the people you are with?!

L O V E the laptop sleeve! Pet Peeve: when I ask a child to pick up/clean up something, and the response I get is, "It's not mine!" I didn't ask if it was yours, I asked you to clean it up!

My biggest pet peeve is being trapped talking to someone who is really awkward and doesn't take social cues...yikes.
ReplyDeleteSo Cute!!! I love the chevron fabric on the inside! I don't really have many pet peeves, although I guess I do find people who talk on the phone in the bathroom pretty annoying. I always feel bad for the person on the other end of the line who has to listen to them pee while they talk! Gross!
ReplyDeleteLol! Very fun! I can't stand someone who it's eating crakkers or biscuits near me and someone who is speaking while eating! :D

Me irrita muito essa coisa chamada #mania de celular# Eu sou do tempo que telefone era para dar e receber notícias,marcar médico,felicitar alguém pelo aniversário etc..Parece que agora as pessoas não vivem sem ele...para tudo e em todo lugar.Tenho uma filha que a partir de ontem só vai falar comigo se me entregar o celular desligado.Ou eu já avisei que vou quebra-lo e não comprar outro.Estou fervendo!!!Obrigada,é linda sua peça.
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is people who scream into their cell phone in public. They can hear you! I promise!
ReplyDeleteThe laptop sleeve is adorable!!
My pet peeve is when I want to win a giveaway such as this one so badly, and I don't win.
ReplyDeleteKidding, kidding! My biggest pet peeve for real is when people say, "We really want to have you over for dinner sometime," but really have no intention of ever inviting you over for dinner. We've moved a lot (and made GREAT friends from all the moves), but I think people think that's what they're supposed to say to people who are new in a community. And I personally think it's more polite to just not say anything than to lie. :-)
Also ... my dad and my brother ALWAYS answer the phone and 50% of the time they respond, "I have to call you back, I can't talk right now." I'll never understand why they don't just let me leave a message and call me back when they have the time.
Anyhow, on a positive note ... Not only could I really use a laptop sleeve - this one is beautiful! I mean, absolutely, stunningly beautiful!
Misuse of the apostrophe and using text language in everyday speech.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely laptop sleeve! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is having a listen to people eating really noisely, slurping, slooping, sipping, yuckety yuck yuck yuck!
Love yellow & gray together! I would say my biggest pet peeve is people that rant their personal drama or complainants all over FB. It just screams too much negativity! Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
ReplyDeletelove the fabrics you chose for the laptop cover! Current pet peeve: the boarding house reach, reaching across your plate of food to snag the pepper.

DeleteMy biggest pet peeve is a little weird, but it makes me crazy: when people sing to themselves all the time. Especially if they're little made up songs, like about what they're doing or something. ARG. Those are just annoying, because it's like making the same joke over and over and expecting it to be funny all the time, but the serious singing is annoying too because I'm not sure if you're supposed to compliment the singer, listen politely, pretend it's not happening and just talk around it ... It sounds like a very specific thing, but I've known more people than you'd expect that do this! Um, ok, I'm done ranting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe laptop sleeve is gorgeous, but even more importantly, just this one post made me laugh several times, so I'm adding you to my feed reader right away. Thanks for the giveaway chance! (gotthebutton [at] me [dot] com)
Your Laptop Sleeve is amazing so so pretty! My pet peeve is when people go around using a blue tooth in public, I have had people looking strait at me talking and I think they are talking to me and I go to answer and then relize they have a bluetooth and they walk away it just drives me crazy and it is just plain disrespectful. Thanks for the great giveaway though!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great laptop sleeve! My biggest pet peeve is people who crack their gum. I was in AC Moore the other day and the lady in the aisle with me did nothing but pop and crack her gum until I was about to lose my mind. I put my purchase on the shelf and left the store. I just couldn't take it anymore! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Love it! I cant bear it when people spit (is this the right word in english?) on the floor. Ughs!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve? People who do not rsvp! I mean seriously, how hard is it to let me know, one way or the other, if you will be there or not?
ReplyDeleteLove the laptop sleeve. I hate it when people eat with their mouths open..or talking with a mouthful of food. Yuck!

Biggest pet peeve: My browser crashing!
ReplyDeleteI hate the style where the guys where their pants hanging down exposing their underwear.
ReplyDeleteYour sleeve is beautiful though! I also love your blog! Thanks!
biggest pet peeve...... when my children don't nap.....like now.
ReplyDeleteI hate people talking really loud on their cell phones in lines...hate it! So rude!
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a great giveaway as I bought a MacBook Pro in December and still don't have a sleeve for it:)

Oh, just one? Ha ha. Probably... motorcycles driving down my usually quite street and waking the baby. Ugh.

My hubby leaves the kitchen cupboards open. All the time. Putting dishes away, all the cabinet doors open. Grabs a glass for some water, cabinet door open. Makes me absolutely insane and I feel like my house is a mess.
ReplyDeleteLove the laptop sleeve! What a creative person you are :-)
my biggest pet peeve is the 'one upper 'person, you konw the one, who got hurt wose than you, caught bigger fish, had higher fever, or whatever was much worse or better than whatever you did. they seem to know everything about everything, makes me want to put muzzle on their mouths.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric choices! My pet peeve is when cabinet doors or drawers are left just a little open, agh!
ReplyDeleteI need one of those--your's is lovely and should I win, I won't have to make one myself! Biggest pet peeve... hmmmm, I have so many... ;-) The biggest happens every morning on my way to work, the "sheep-in-a-row" driving mentality, why, if you aren't turning right, do you drive in the right lane when the left lane is EMPTY?!? I have to turn right, so I have to wait through an extra traffic signal because you refused to change lanes! See, gets my goat every time....
ReplyDeleteAlso, I highly agree with Sharon Murray about the one-upper, that person is high on my list.
My pet peeve is just general bad manners. I am, in compensation, overly polite to every customer service person I interact with. Maybe that is someone else's pet peeve and I am feeding it. Oh no!
ReplyDeleteI have several, but at the top of my list is when people use "good" instead of "well". It's sill I know, but I have to keep myself from correcting them every time.
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is when people wad up the plastic wrap off their sandwiches and leave it on the table while they ( and I) am eating. It makes me want to vomet.
ReplyDeleteLove that you said you started a blog to get off your butt. Pretty cool.

ReplyDeleteGum popping. Makes me cringe. My mama always said, don't chew gum if you're going to chew it like a cow.
ReplyDeleteOne of my pet peeves is when people walk directly behind you. It annoys the heck out of me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece!!
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is when someone sees you and says 'how are you' and keeps walking! Don't ask me how I am if you're not interested in hearing the response!!!!

This is great!!!! I have lots, but I hate it when my students roll the office chairs all over the room. I always say "it's a chair with wheels, not a wheel chair". Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would say what annoys me the most is when people let their dogs poop in my yard, and don't clean it up. Especially when it is right in front of my mail box . . . ick.
