What is your pet peeve?

-

SNACKING AT THE CINEMA

People who talk or munch on snacks loudly while at a movie. Bavya Pressad

MASK-LESS

People refusing to wear masks and flouting social distancing norms has become my pet peeve. Dwisha Baviskar

FLURRY OF FORWARDS

My pet peeve is that in spite of constant reminders that no forwards are allowed in our whatsapp group, members do it and say ‘sorry’. Rajeswari Matam

QUEUE-JUMP

When I come across people who cut queues and think it’s absolutely OK to do so, and then look irate instead of being apologetic when told they are in the wrong. Sheeba Jojo

THE WRONG SIDE

People standing on the left side while using the metro escalator when it specifical­ly says walk on left and stand on right. Disha Baldawa

FAKE ACCENTS

People who show off or fake an accent. I also dislike it when someone tells me to do something repeatedly that I’d anyway be doing. Ayman M. Iqbal

UNHEALTHY HABITS

I am health conscious and am careful of what I eat, but my husband is just the opposite. This is my one peeve. Meghana Prabhu

SOCIAL MEDIA

Spouses wishing each other effusively on social media, while being under the same roof. I can digest it if it’s in jest but this is done rather seriously. Jaya Mahalingam

LOUD CHEWERS

People who chew gum really loud while talking – it really annoys me. Anahita Daruwala

CRACKING KNUCKLES

Someone cracking their knuckles and making sounds while eating. Fatima Kauser

SNEEZING WITHOUT COVERING FACE

People who sneeze without covering their nose. Clicking pens is another. Anto Joseph

LATECOMERS

I get annoyed at some of my friends who always turn up late for all occasions. It also annoys me greatly when they ridicule people who are punctual. Jayanthi Mahesh
