There is no perfect human on earth, yes I know, but then it's not bad for us as humans to behave a bit close to perfect even though we can't be perfect. As a lady, apart from my upbringing, I decided to instill some good acts and behaviors into myself because I know how much I will need them in the journey of life. I am someone who gets irritated easily, which is the reason why I keep a small circle of friends. What seems normal to you might be what would turn me off, and as for me, first impressions last longer. As much as I don't try to impress anyone with my personality, I've also met people who can't change who they are because of me but then acting like a normal human being shouldn't be a burden.
I have quite a lot of pet peeves, that is, things that turn me off or make me think otherwise about a person. I cherish everyone I've met in my journey in life, and I never taken anyone's love for granted, but then there are just some things that I can't take. I wished I could add an emoji or express myself in my native language to show the reaction of how much I hate these things. In my first year in the higher institution, it took me a while before I could make friends because I hardly talked with my colleagues. After a month and some weeks, I met a girl who looked so innocent and naive and we decided to be friends. She is loving, I must admit, but then there is one thing about her that gets me irritated, and that's picking her nose.
Yes, she does pick her nose, and that is disgusting maybe to me. The first time I caught her doing that, I didn't feel bad about it because I thought she might be getting rid of some dirt in her nose, but that should be done with a tissue or a handkerchief, not with her hand, but I overlooked it. The second time I caught her picking her nose, I told her that wasn't the right thing to do, which she laughed about and saw as not a big deal, but I must say, it was a big deal for me. Since she laughed over it, I decided to let it go the second time.
The third time I caught her, I slapped her hand so hard that she felt the pain. Then I corrected her sternly because it was already getting to me. I can't imagine being out with my friend and she will be picking her nose and doing so carelessly. Many times after the last incident, I caught her doing that over and over again. In my second year, I decided to give her space; I definitely didn't want such a person in my space. Not that I disliked her, but I disliked that attitude of hers, which she wasn't ready to let go of.
Another pet peeve that does get on my nerves is snoring; oh my! Someone once told me snoring is a sign of good living but I disagree strongly. Some people are terrible at this aspect. I do sleep late due to my busy schedule during the day, I have only nighttime to attend to my messages and online jobs. A time when I need concentration to focus on some things, then I will be disturbed by a loud noise coming from someone's sleep; hell no, I can't take it.
Sometimes, towards the end of 2024, I attended a class for an exam outside my academics, and unfortunately, that day, a lady was sleeping at the back of the class. Then, suddenly, we started hearing this loud sound. Everyone was wondering where the sound was coming from before we realized it was the lady at the back of the class. The snoring was so loud that I lost focus; I couldn't concentrate anymore because how on earth would you be snoring that loud in public? I know sometimes, due to fatigue, one can snore while sleeping, but then it should be done in moderation, not excessively, and most importantly, not in public. To mention but a few, pet peeves are just things I can't cope with.
Thanks for your time and your comments will be appreciated.

Snoring isn't a sign of healthy living. Snoring indicates that the person isn't breathing well or properly: either the nostrils are blocked or the person is breathing through the mouth. The other one is lot of stress, this happens a lot with the male gender. There is a higher chance that a person could snore if they have been through lots of stress.
Picking of nose used to be my thing but It took some time to caution myself to reduce how much I do it and how I do it. I go about with a handkerchief 90% of the time.
Ohhh okay, I'm glad you cautioned yourself
Damn! I would dislike things like that as well.
Damn nioo, I dislike them
Everyone has their part of been irritated by one thing or the other you just have to learn to improve that
Yes sir
Hmmm.I am someone that rarely associate with people but thank God the few friends I had never had this disgusting pet peeves.
Lolz I'm glad
