I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of doing these from time to time, but since it’s the week to let out our frustration, let’s get to it!

Do Tell: What Are Your Biggest Pet Peeves?

TresSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:10:00 -0700

Since it's National Pet Peeve Week I want to know: what gets under your skin? (Hopefully, it's not commemorative weeks for random things like pet peeves!) I'll start you off with some of mine.

Emails that lack proper grammar and capitalization.
Friends who take long cell phone calls while we're hanging out.
Corner markets that charge me $.25 to use my credit card.
Getting my meal at a restaurant after everyone else has already eaten theirs!
People who stand in front of the bus entrance, making me have to force my way through them.
Fingernail clipping in public.
The airport security liquids rule.
Cable personalities who make mundane stories sound like the end of the world.
People who eat stinky food in tight quarters.

Pheeww! I feel better. Now tell me yours.

Do Tell: Are You Always Late or Right on Time?

DearSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:00:00 -0700

It seems that most of you feel being late is inconsiderate, and it sends a disrespectful message to those waiting for you. I happen to agree - I'm always on time - but I have friends that are late no matter what, even when they give themselves extra time. I've grown accustomed to it though, and I just consider it their little quirk. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rules, so do tell, are you the person who's usually running late or do you tend to be right on time, if not a little early?

Do Tell: What Double Standard Drives You Nuts?

DearSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Is it just me or does it seem like there’s a big gender divide when it comes to expectations about marriage? A middle-aged, unwed man is considered to have made a choice to remain a bachelor, while an unmarried woman of the same age is assumed to be desperately waiting for a man to rescue her! Though we’re lucky enough to live in a society that values women’s rights, it’s still inevitable to encounter double standards. I’ve shared mine, so what about you? We know men and women are different, but do tell: Which double standard drives you nuts?

Dear Poll: Sex With Socks On?

DearSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:00:00 -0800

We all have our pet peeves, and mine have to do with socks. I don't like socks with sandals and I don't like socks with sex. I wish I could explain why nudity with socks bother me, but I have no logical explanation for it. All I know is that when a guy is totally nude, except for his socks, I'm automatically turned off. And though I've talked to others that feel the same way as I do, I've encountered an entire group of people who have sex with their socks on all the time; they like their toes warm I guess. So now I have to ask you: How do you feel about socks on - and only socks - during sex?

Do Tell: Pet Peeve

DearSugar — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 08:30:00 -0700

No one is perfect; we all have imperfections, and whether or not we realize it, others notice. Does the way your boyfriend brush his teeth get under your skin? Or do your best friend's table manners make you cringe? I happen to hate when other people's hair touches me, strange I know, so do tell, what is your biggest pet peeve?

DearSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 08:30:00 -0700

We all have pet peeves, sometimes they are unwarranted, but other times they are quite justifiable. Since we spend so much of our time at the work place, it is no wonder the smallest of things has the ability to get under our skin. Whether it is your boss' telephone etiquette or the way your cube mate blows her nose, ladies, do tell, what is your biggest work pet peeve?

DearSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Happy Earth Day! As we all know, we live in a world where we must do our part to help save our planet and the environment. You've told us how you pitch in to save our one and only planet Earth, but unfortunately, not everyone does their share. So if you're anything like me, you get frustrated (to say the least) when people litter, or don't recycle, or leave their lights on. So ladies, in honor of Earth Day today, do tell: What's your biggest pet peeve or gripe about those who don't live green?

DearSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

I don’t care how much you love someone, you’ll eventually get into some arguments. However, what you fight about really depends on your specific personality traits, pet peeves, opinions, and personal histories. Not to mention that each particular type of relationship brings along its own set of complications and circumstances. So ladies, do tell, when you argue with your significant other, what's it usually about?

After reading all about your work pet peeves, I can say I honestly feel for a lot of you! It wasn't a shock to see how many people had gripes about their bosses, so ladies, if you could tell your boss one thing, without suffering from any consequences, do tell, what would you get off your chest?
