Totally irrational pet peeves. What are yours?

People eating crunchy foods.

I once suggested that crunchy loud treats should be banned from business meetings. That includes ice for drinks. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been completely distracted from the business at hand by the maddening sound of some douchebag mindlessly (and open-mouthed) gnawing on ice or chips or something.

My office mate rarely takes a lunch. When she brings in something crunchy to eat at her desk, I have to get up and go away to lunch myself or I will have to commit violence.

IF people close their mouths when they chew, this is not nearly as annoying.

Not terribly important, but songs that fade out at the end. Just end the song cleanly, don’t leave the impression the song goes on forever.
