What are your top 3 pet peeves?

Day 3 of my writing challenge

I find that I always come up with new pet peeves. Someone will laugh and I’ll be like “such a pet peeve of mine”. Someone will say a word and I’ll be like “such a pet peeve”. So it’s safe to say I have way too many and I need to chill. But I can definitely pick my top 3:

1. When someone eats and then casually wipes their hand on their trousers. Please stop! 

2. Chipped nail-polish. I hate it so much. More so on my nails than anyone else’s.

3. Spelling and (major) grammar mistakes. Especially if you’re someone whose job requires you to spell correctly and have proper grammar. For example, if you’re in advertising, please know how to spell and know the difference between “you’re and your” before you go public. If you’re a CEO, please don’t use “affect” when you mean “effect” and vice versa! (P.S. if you’re gonna go check if I’ve made any so far then you’re also a pet peeve!)

And here you have it. My top 3 pet peeves.

If you ask me again tomorrow, it’s highly likely that I’ll have more.
