    Well YA books are made into movies. Like no, Fault In Our Stars is overrated.

    Mandarin oranges. Like, seriously, I love Vegemite, haggis, black licorice, kimchee, stinky cheese, durian but, yeah, still can't stomach mandarin oranges.

    I cannot stand guys who wear a collarless shirt and a blazer/suit jacket. Are you trying to look aloof and cool and/or "techie?" Wear a goddamned collared shirt. Heck, even a polo shirt is better. It's like it's the uniform of TED talks and sociology professors. If you hate wearing a tie, don't wear one. If you're too "cool" to dress like a "suit," don't half-ass it. Chinos, dress shirt, and sports coat isn't "stuffy" (especially if you're trying to wear this at anything remotely "formal").

    Worse yet, if you wear a Che Guevara or some other tshirt that is not a solid color but has a goddamn slogan or design to make you seem "edgy," "cool," "artsy," "techie," or "uneek."

    My number one odd pet peeve is the sound of people sucking food out of their teeth after they eat. It drives me crazy. It's really gross to me.

    Seeing people put their feet on chairs/seats in public places is another. Could be in an office, on public transport or at a restaurant - they shouldn't be there.

    Also, air conditioning. Maybe I'm just used to milder weather having lived in England for my whole life but I can't stand ACs. They always seem to be too cold rather than just cool and they make me feel unwell. I'd rather drink a cold drink or use a fan or open a window. Let cool air circulate rather than just blowing cold air everywhere.

    People who don't respond to texts within a day. Like I texted one of my coworkers asking if she could work for me on Saturday. There's no way she hasn't seen it by now. If you don't want to, just tell me! I won't be offended! But now I'm going to be ticked off because I'm left hanging.

    That's the issue du jour for me.

    People who lick their finger and somehow use that to turn the pages of a book

    If I see somebody do that, then I NEVER lend them books

    This irks me, too. It's so rude. She was probably avoiding your text because she felt too awkward to tell you no. I honestly would prefer someone just lie to me about having plans than ignore me completely... :dry:

    I do sometimes. >_< It's when I have absolutely nothing to do and I have to move around a bit. I like to move my hands the most, so the thumbs just happen. I feel like I should apologize to you, lmao. D':

    I cannot stand incessant throat-clearing. If I become aware of it, it becomes like torture to me.

    Anything "trendy" and that idea that if you don't have the latest "coolest" piece of technology or don't watch the "cool" HBO or Netflix TV shows or otherwise don't keep up with the latest trends, then there is something "wrong" with you.

    I too, can't stand when I am in The shower and the toilet seat is up. I thought I was the only one that does that!

    I can't stand it when people smoke. I mean, don't they know that it can kill you? I also can't stand the smell. It makes me sick.

    I can't stand when people are inside the building, and they are wearing freaking sunglasses inside! I mean, why the heck do you have them on indoors!!!

    I can't stand why people vote/like Donald Trump. I hate the guy with a passion!

    Peoples idiosyncrasies. Pisses me right off because I notice them right away. Chewing noises are in that category.

    Ugh, I hate cigarettes, too. My mom has started smoking again, and the smell makes me sick. Plus, it instantly makes clothes smell horrible.

    What kind of idiosyncrasies? I think it's kind of annoying when someone has a twitch. It's sad, because I know they can't help it. But it's so hard to talk to them because that's mostly what I notice. Also, I hate when someone says "like" excessively.
