There's always something about your SO that is either endearing and adorable, or a humongous pet peeve. Of course, the boyf is endearing and adorable, blah blah, but here's my pet peeve: he doesn't go to sleep until 5 or 6 a.m., and then he doesn't wake up until 1 or 2 p.m. When I wake him up, he gets cranky and crabby. And I keep telling him -- first of all, you
told me to call and wake you up; second, I already told you about the agenda; and third, just go to sleep early. You don't have to go out to see your friends all the time. I don't understand why you can't sleep. Most of the time, he's hanging out with his friends until whatever time they want (4, 5, 6, once it was at 9 a.m. because they went fishing). Then he'll say he's tired, but he'll still go to hang out with his friends -- and it's not like they're drinking (most of the time) or doing drugs (ever).
It's like we're on two different schedules, and it doesn't really make sense to me. He works valet for some quick cash, and they're all mostly afternoon jobs (around 4 p.m.), and I work in the mornings. I find it very odd, but I already told him that when we move in together, that shit isn't going to fly with me. Sometimes, it really annoys me, but most of the time, I don't mind because - well, he wakes up when I tell him to, anyway. =)
Anyway, what is your pet peeve(s) about your SO? Do/did you ever say anything to them about it?

When you text someone and they NEVER respond. So irritating.
It's really stupid but the only thing that annoys me is when he initiates a conversation through text and then just doesn't text back when I respond or ask a question. I know that's just how he is with everyone and texting, but it's really annoying. I guess I'm just needy, :P
I've grown to live with it.
my pet peeve, saying "I promise" and not keeping it, if it is intentional or not. I never promise something unless I am willing to do most anything possible to keep my promise.
I kept it to myself, but he would say "I'll call you later." so I'd be expecting/waiting for his call but he wouldn't call so I ended up calling HIM back about something and he wouldn't say sorry or acknowledge that he never called when he said he would. My guess is he forgot and didn't think it important enough to cause unrest, but it DID bother me.
my boyf is always running late. i thought i was bad. srsly. anyway, if he says he's going to pick me up at some time, he's usually a little bit late, which irrates the shit out of me. oh welllllll. i can't speak :))
I absolutely hate when people use the term "pet peeve." It's always pissed me off. I couldn't tell you why, I just hate it. I think I've only ever said it once, and I was pissed at myself for it.
I told my girlfriend about her bitchy behavior towards me (just last week, actually, after 7 months of dating) and how I don't deserve it, especially since it comes from nowhere, and I haven't had to deal with it since. Granted, it's really only been a week, but it's something I felt I needed to say to keep my sanity. I'm glad she listened.
Same setup for every internet conversation...
Him: Hey
Me: Hey
Him: What's up?
Me: Not much
Him: Fun
*Silence*
And then..."Anything you want to talk about?" "I dunno." It's ALWAYS "I dunno" like 90% of the time. ARRRRGGHH!
Shorthand texts (e.g. "i luv u" or "we shud g2 din 2nite @ ______"). GAHHH, it drives me crazy.
I hate when someone says something, but just leaves it hanging, not telling you what they wanted to say.
No pet peeves yet since I don't have a girlfriend.
@fugita@xanga - Yes. That is a HUGE one to me. But I've also never had anyone (friend, bf, family, etc) who has ever followed through on anything after they used the p word. Ever. So anytime I hear that word I cringe, and then tell myself that whatever was promised is never gonna happen.
I don't have a bf currently but there's been a couple guys I've dated who would just stop responding to me if we started discussing something important or started arguing. If they didn't want to keep the conversation going, they just stopped responding and ignored me. This was always over text. It's infuriating. If I'm arguing with someone about something and the conversation keeps going, 99.9% of the time I will stay civil and we will work it out. But if you just shut me off.... I have a tendency to flip on people. Just being honest...
And also, I'm really sensitive so I don't particularly like it when people tickle me. My bf would do it even when I tell him to stop. I should hit him on the head to get the message across lol.
When people smoke, drink, or do drugs and
When people don't respond back
When someone is smoking and blows the smoke right in my face.
When she starts a thought/sentence and doesn't finish, and refuses to complete it when asked.
Also when she hangs up on me. x]
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - I'm with you on that one. The grip of murder takes hold when I hear it. Unexplainable.
@fugita@xanga - I know what you mean with the promising.
My pet peeve is similar - him telling me cheesy little lies, like how he's never going to break up with me, or that I make his heart skip beats. Don't say you will never break up with me, because you can't promise that! I know it feels like you won't now, but that could change. I finally said the same thing to him, he said "you can't promise that", and he hasn't said it since. :p
My pet peeve about her is that I have no pet peeve :)
I don't have a pet peeve in any bf's [never had one] but in boys, I dislike [to an extreme extent] how some of them like to treat you like poo.
@Dustin_wind@xanga - Aw that's kinda cute :)
@sarahzthoughts@xanga - In his defense, "what's up" is a way to get the conversation going. Instead of just saying "not much" and leaving it dead in the water (which is a pet peeve of mine when guys do it), tell them something you did that day or a fun fact you found out online. It doesn't have to be something you're doing right that second, but try to think of something interesting about your day. Otherwise, you're as bad as he is, really.
@xa06@xanga - GOD YES. I simply can't take a guy seriously if he talks like a tween in his text messages.
If I'm upset, he just tells me to "SMILE!" he doesn't try to find out why I am upset or do anything to take my mind off it.. and I dunno, maybe I'm just selfish.. but I can't just smile on command... DO SOMETHING to make me smile!! =)
