Pet Peeved. Or something.

Humans are weird. Like, straight up. If you think you’re not weird too, you’re sorely mistaken. We are all bizarro. There are times when I think I may be more bizarro than others, but I’m probably giving myself too much credit. Or something.
Anywho. Some of the weirdest things about each of us are our pet peeves. And most of us all have different pet peeves and they range from the straightforward and simple to the totally “WHAT in the?!”
Pet peeves are one of those things that I love to picture God up in heaven cracking up at each of dealing with the pet peeves he gave us. I am convinced God has a sense of humor. I mean, have you SEEN the platypus? That thing is hilarious.
All rambling aside, I have weird pet peeves, too.
A few of my pet peeves may or may not include:
- ANY drop of rogue water on my windshield. DRIVES ME CRAZY. I run out of windshield washer fluid SO quickly and it it’s raining, I CANNOT let any drop of rain remain on my windshield un-wiped for longer than a second.
- I keep my desktop on my computer incredibly organized. If there is even ONE document not in a folder, I immediately have to create a new folder for that single document. I probably have 10 folders with one document each in them, but I don’t care. Rogue documents = the worst.
- When the person who used the bathroom before you uses up all the TP and A) either leaves the roll there empty and then you have to go awkwardly searching for TP or B) they DO get out a new roll but they just set it up on top of the old empty roll. Like, COME ON. You’re SITTING DOWN. Just take the 2.4 seconds to replace the roll. I mean, really?!
- My foods cannot touch. Nope. Main dish and sides are separate. Now, this does not apply to condiments, sauces, or toppings. I’m talking main dish and side dishes. They do not and will not ever mix on Molly’s plate. ESPECIALLY sweets and savories – e.g. fruits and veggies. I am horrible at buffet places because I have to have like nine separate plates. Hosts hate me.
- The sound that balloons make when they’re being blown up / rubbed together. I know, this is a weird one, but I SWEAR that those balloons are going to pop and they’re going to pop in my face. It’s terrifying. Unless I am directly in control of the balloon-blowing-up process, I stay as far away from them as possible.
I know some of those are totally random, but hey, everyone has them. Right? I hope it’s not just me.
Also, I’m aware my pet peeves have nothing to do with today’s outfit photos, but it’s #NaBloPoMo, and it’s my blog. So yeah. I’ll write what I want. Or something.
Now, tell me: What’s a totally random pet peeve you have?
I really hate when my food touches. I honestly am not sure why it bothers me so much, but I can’t stand it. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

PS I do NOT like my food to touch either. I am soooo picky when it comes to that, LOL!
thanks, whitney!! glad i’m not alone! 🙂
Love this outfit! You look adorable. And I laughed out loud at your list of pet peeves. I agree with the balloons rubbing together…horrible. And hangers scraping on a medal rack. Blech, I’m getting the heeby jeebies just thinking about it.
oh that’s the WORST!! that scraping sound seriously makes my skin crawl!
OH.MY.GOSH! I HAAAAAATE when my husband leaves the empty TP roll sitting there…I mean it really makes me bananas!! Just thinking about it makes me mad!! LOL
hahaha yes!! the worst!! men are always guilty of it!
Love that floral top, what a cute print!
thank you, tara!!
Oh my goodness! My pet peeve is ambrosia! The use of the word and the dish itself. It’s the one thing I can’t stand about Easter. My MIL makes ambrosia and says the word at least 40 times. It has nothing to do with my MIL…just my personal peeve!
LOL! i love that!! such a random and hilarious pet peeve!
I was an English major so most of my peeves run along the lines of they’re, their, there – bored vs board etc.
However I also cannot stand my food touching getting mashed potatoes on my peas is enough to drive me up the wall. And NOTHING TOUCHES MY BREAD. Seriously. Hubby just piles it all on the plate and I just can’t even watch him eat it. 🙂
amen! i was an English major, too!! 🙂
Ha ha ha, great post! We definitely all have random pet peeves that drive us crazy. I don’t know why I can’t think of any right now but I definitely have a TON of them! You look so adorable in this outfit too! Oh wait, I just thought of one. . . when my Mom files her nails while watching tv. It’s just plain gross, and the sound is like nails on a chalk board for me! 🙂

hahahahah love that one! i have a friend who has that same pet peeve!!
Cute blouse and blazer Molly! And haha, I like your pet peeves… they make me chuckle. I am the same way about the toilet paper roll! I feel like I have weird pet peeves but my worst one is related to driving I can’t stand when people don’t put on their blinker! Especially in city traffic here, it takes two seconds and then I don’t almost rear end you when I didn’t know you wanted to get over! BOO! It makes me really upset every single time.
oh me too, girl! me too! i mean like TURN YOUR BLINKER ON!!!
This was such a fun post…I loved reading about your pet peeves 🙂 And I love the shorts/tights combo – so cute!

thanks, annie! 🙂
Oh yes, I’ve got my fair share of pet peeves too girl. 🙂 I love the tights under the shorts look!

thanks, meredith!!
Oh my gosh! I hear you on the toilet paper roll thing. My pet peeves are people not using their turn signals and having water splashed all over the bathroom sink. Fun post 🙂 Heather
hahaha oh man those are totally pet peeves of mine, too!!!
OMG! I’m the same way about food not touching!!! Everybody makes fun of me because I can’t have it touch and I most certainly will not ever mix my food together. {If rice and gravy were meant to be with corn, then it would already be mixed together.} And yes the whole leaving little to no tp for the next person, aka me, drives me crazy!!!! The Hubby does it all the time, or he will leave the lone one sheet that is permanently stuck to the roll for me. Gee Thanks. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one with these little pet peeves in the world.
PHEW! we are not alone, meagan!! so many other people i have found are the same about mixing food. 🙂 🙂 🙂 you are not crazy! you’re normal! 🙂 thanks, girl!
Why did I put away all of my summer shorts in my closet?! Totally pulling them out to sport them with leggings and boots like you.
My biggest pet peeve is crinkled paper. Yes. I am a little OCD about paper. Crinkles, wrinkles, random pen marks… I will reprint or ask for another copy. Can’t stand it.
oh girl go get those shorts out!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 can’t wait to see you rock them in the cold weather! 🙂 🙂
LOVE the crinkled paper pet peeve. totally weird and totally hilarious! love it!!!
So glad someone else is terrified of balloons popping in their face….. Even my mother makes me of me for that one!!! Ps love the boots with the tights!
Brooke @ what2wear
YES!! i am so glad you hate that too!!!
thanks, b!
I’m so with you when it comes to my food touching! My husband is the exact opposite and mixes everything together. It makes me cringe!
hahahaha yes! so glad we are in the same boat. YUCK on the food mixing!
hahaha that last one- the balloons just reminds me of being in the old Student Center trying to construct one of those daggone balloon arches for Bid Day and trying not to let it touch the brick walls! Do you remember that?
I think that might have been when I had my complete mental meltdown as Membership Director, but I can’t remember…I think I blocked it out. hahaha
Oh pet peeves. First of all, I really HATE that phrase. Why? Have no idea.
Also, I hate when people mix up “you’re” and “your”, “there,” “their,” and “they’re,” as well as “it’s” and “its.” As an English major, I have a feeling you might have similar feelings on this….
Your blog always reminds me that I need to update mine…
OH THAT WAS THE WORST. i seriously used to cringe on bid day with those balloon arches. for real. that sound terrifies me. yeah and when it would hit the brick wall i was done for. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
i hate the phrase pet peeve too! like, where did it come from?
and girl you are preaching to the CHOIR on the mixing up of words – drives me nuts!!
and YES! totally update yours! i love reading it! 🙂 xoxox miss you!
I also cannot stand the toilet paper thing. AND if it’s on backwards, it drives me crazy. My husband does this all the time. Also, talking WHILE you are yawning drives me bananas. I can’t understand what you’re saying, and it’s just kind of rude! Most of my other pet peeves are really just me being OCD, so I’ll just leave it at that! 🙂
You are looking adorable in this outfit!
xo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
RIGHT? oh backwards TP. don’t EVEN get me started. so funny. men are ALWAYS guilty of the TP roll mess. and the yawning pet peeve is hilarious! love it.
thanks, yi-chia!!
I have a ton of peeves too, Molly! One on my biggest is that I can’t have my food touch on my plate (like foods of different types). I’m not sure if that counts as a peeve or just OCD!
Alyssa
The Glossy Life
hahaha alyssa that was one of mine! we’re are totally similar with the food thing!
Okay first are those maroon (or whatever name you’d like to call them) tights?!? If so, where did you get them? I would love a pair! I think they would be so versatile for a colored tight. And on to pet peeves, the toilet roll thing definitely a pet peeve especially when its my husband who never changes the roll!
hahaa thanks, lindsay! they are actually black but when i look at the picture they do look a little maroon. they’re just black though! 🙂 i think i got them at like walmart or target. i don’t spend a lot of money on things like tights 🙂
hahaha YES men are always the TP roll culprits!
Oh my gosh! I can’t let foods touch either!! People think I’m a crazy person. I’ve even considered getting a plate that has dividers. Actually I’m still thinking about it. And I hate hate hate when veggies and their juices get mingled with my other foods, especially potatoes. Or bread. And gravy had better stay where I put it.
Super cute outfit! I wish I could pull off the shorts and tights.
YES! so glad there are a few more of us who don’t let foods touch! i don’t think you’re crazy!!!
thanks, brandi! you could TOTALLY pull off shorts and tights! just gotta get the right style and color!
haha. so funny. mine is spitting. like when you’re waiting at a bus stop and a guy just spits on the ground. Ew. Gross. Save it.
hahah RIGHT?! yeah people who spit in public need Jesus. or something. you know what i mean. 🙂 🙂
OK, I’ll play. My pet peeve is slurping and gulping. I cannot stand to hear someone drink anything. My mom is the same way. I used to sit in staff meetings on Friday morning with a guy that slurped and gulped coffee very loudly throughout. It caused me physical pain. 🙂
P.S. I love your tights and shorts look!
YES! so glad you decided to play, alison!! i am the same way – drinking sounds are gross!!
thanks, girl! 🙂
a few of mine:
-chipped nail polish
-wet pant legs (from trudging through the snow/slush this morning)
-when my coffee gets cold and I have to nuke it
hahah oh man you would hate me then – i am TERRIBLE at leaving my chipped nail polish on for way too long! lol!! love it!!
I have one of the same pet peeves as you … my food can’t touch on my plate. My family makes fun of me for it all the time. But I don’t like all the flavors running together!
YES! so glad someone else has the food one. i figured i might not be alone on that one. my husband makes fun of it, too!
you crack me up. the balloon one is totally understandable!
hahaha amen to that, right?
Okay totally random pet peeve: It drives me batty when people ALWAYS back into the parking space. Like, what are you going to have to leave in a big hurry later?! Are you robbing a bank or something?
HAHAHAHAH LOVE IT! my aunt ONLY backs into parking spaces. it’s so weird. she WON’T pull in a space, she HAS to back in. it cracks me up!
I will share kitcen pet peeves: dishes in the sink- hello! the dishwasher is right there. In the fridge I have a section for condiments and a section for salad dressings- don’t mix ’em up! Lastly, if you drip coffee can you please wipe it up? I know you see that brown spot- don’t be lazy!!!
BTW- what is NaBloPoMo? I just figured out YOLO so can you help me out? I think it’s national something month who knows? Thanks Molly!
HAHAH YES! dishes in the sink drive me CRAZZZZZZY. i totally have similar pet peeves. love it, lisa!
and NaBloPoMo is National Blog Post Month – a challenge to write every day in the month of november. i typically post every day but this is just a way for me to reenergize my writing and whatnot. 🙂
Yours aren’t weird at all Molly! haha I do the desktop thing, too. All my photos are so organized, it’s kind of ridiculous. I have so many pet peeves, sometimes I think I’m just a terrible human being!
haha you are not a terrible human being – you’re a normal, weird human! hahahha 🙂 🙂 jk but seriously.
I don’t necessarily have any comment on the pet peeve’s, we all have them!
I just want to say that you are killin’ it on the outfit front these days! Today and yesterday are awesome, and I especially like the belt over blazer look from a week or two ago. Such gorgeous clothes and a gorgeous girl!
🙂
aw thank you SO much, samantha!! you are so sweet girl, seriously. thank you!!
hahaha love your pet peeves!! you’re awesome. i hate hate hate detached hair… even if it’s my own, but especially others’… blech! so gross. also can’t handle when people scrape their teeth on their fork every time they take a bite…?! weird! ha.
haha YOU are awesome, carrie!! oh yeah i know what you mean – why is it that other people’s hair grosses us out so much? it’s just hair! and the fork thing is totally weird too!! love it!!!
I am just glad to know that it is just not me. I look at the little quirks that get to me and I think, “I’m so off the wall about things”. It is good to know that I do not stand alone.
I would have to say that my pet peeves (or at least the immediate ones that even I realize, because I think that there are sometimes those quirks that bug us that we do not realize bug us until someone else points them out-I know strange, but anyway). My pet peeves as I know them would be as follows: Only bottled pop (and not like the liters). If I’m drinking a pepsi it has to be in a 12 to 24 oz bottle. I do not do cans, glasses or fountain pop. With that said, if I open a pop in the car, it only drank in the car. 2) Heavy winter coats with shorts….it just doesn’t make sense to me.
That is just a sample, but I realize that my list is kind of long 🙂 Love the boots in the pic. Whole outfit is cute, but love the boots.
oh shawn you are TOTALLY not alone!!
LOVE the bottled pop one – AND i love that you call soda, POP. 🙂 🙂
and YES heavy winter coats with shorts is totally weird.
thanks, shawn!! 🙂 🙂
Yeah, we all have our pet peeves! (I agree with about the balloon thing, that sound drives me CRAZY.)
I love your cute floral blouse and i am just so jealous that it still looks so nice and warm there, you even still have some green grass! And just look at you rocking the shorts with tights, it is such a cute look on you!
Out of curiosity, what lens do you use for your camera? I am just crazy about your photos, they are gorgeous! I think you’re one of my new photography crushes. 🙂
hahaha so glad someone else hates that sound too!
lol not all our grass is green – but i guess here in NC our weather can’t decide what it wants to do!
and my camera is a Nikon D40 that i have a 35mm 1.4 lens on – i shoot in manual too so that helps to add color and depth. i’m no pro but it’s fun learning!
haha…I love your pet peeves! I don’t know if this is considered a pet peeve but I hate it when people tell me to smile. I can’t walk around with a smile on my face all the time, OK?! I especially hated it when I worked at walmart. Would you be smiling if you worked at walmart?! Seriously!
I love the tights with the shorts btw 🙂
~Jessica
ahaha i hate that too!!! it’s like DUDE. sometimes i don’t smile! 🙂
thanks, jessica!
This is super weird (seriously, I know) but…I HATE the sound of a water bottle cap being screwed back onto a water bottle! Or a canteen cap, like on this metal water bottles that are really popular now.
I know. Bizarre.
hahah that is totally weird and totally hilarious!! see what i mean about humans being weird? we’re weird and it’s awesome! love it!
