    I can't stand when people mispronounce / twist words, especially those that are more formal terms. I cringe when people call borelioza (Lyme disease) - bolerioza for instance in Polish. I don't mean casual lapsus linguae or words that are just hard to pronounce, especially for foreigners who are learning Polish.

    I am guilty of this habit. Sometimes it happens involuntarily too, I remember times when I could hear it while just walking barefoot.

    Passive aggressiveness and people who beat around the bush.

    Passive aggressive + duplicitous. Sadly, I have some family members that are wired this way. But whether it's my pet peeve? I don't think so.

    People crying, Idk but I really just can't stand crying even if it's for a good reason. People in my family aren't very emotional aside from a few.

    I’m confrontational and I always speak what’s on my mind.
    Also I have a good sense of when someone is making an indirect side comment, it irks me like no other.

    People who beat around the bush. Basically all this waffling by "John Adams" for instance:



    Get to the point: "How much money do you seek ?" Also notice that the Dutch remark that he is "modest" - "bescheiden" is a compliment.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Conspiracy theorists. Especially those who advocate the dismantling of functioning institutions due to their irrational fears.

    And the sheeple who are always looking to the state to solve their problems rather than creating their own solutions or opportunities.

    Haha, I don’t have a problem with others crying. I’m very nurturing.
    But I can’t cry. I have only cried in front of like 3 people in my entire life.
