Mine is my junk drawer in the kitchen...

No sooner do I clean it out, get it organized and all spiffy, it re-junks itself. I know the junk in there is breeding like a crazed rabbit the minute I turn my back...

Why even try to organize it??

The "pet" in "pet peeve" (not "pet hate") doesn't refer to pettiness, although everyone here seems to think the complaint must be trivial to qualify. Mine isn't -- smart phone addiction. It's downright scary.

My solution is to not have one at all.

The fact that so many products that I really enjoyed have gone off the market. I get upset every time it happens. There have been products that vanished and I spent LITERAL YEARS looking every time I went to a store, just in the vain hope that they might reappear or be there in this store, this time. Part of that is because I've moved around the country a lot, and occasionally it actually happens that something just stopped being distributed to some region but was then available somewhere else. Creamy chicken ramen is still available in Phoenix area Basha's stores, but not in any store in Colorado Springs. Sweet soy sauce for rice can be got on Amazon or in a Walmart in Colorado, but nowhere here in Chandler. I was visiting CO last week and took one of my sons grocery shopping and darned if they did not have a favorite kind of taco shells that I'd forgotten they existed, since they don't sell them down here in AZ as far as I've seen.

But nowhere do I find... Key Lime Stewart's soda, Lender's Big & Crusty bagels, Keebler Magic Middles cookies, Screamin' Sicilian stuffed crust frozen pizza, Pepperidge Farm Ojai lemon sugar cookies, butter brickle ice cream, Screaming Yellow Zonkers popcorn (I have a sweet tooth, can you tell?), Infusium 23 hair conditioner, KC Masterpiece Steakhouse marinade, or probably a dozen other things I used to love that have vanished from the market...but still live on in my memories.

/sigh

*shakes fist, not at clouds, but at the obnoxious overhead lights at any given Walmart*

I assume you're talking about using them for the top of your hair (rather than the end of a braid of whatever) and having to pull the whole length of your hair through them several times?

Try the bungee type. Just wrap around to put on and unwrap to take off. Also, easier to make tight because you can do it as tight as you want, rather than "as tight as you can get a doubled-up length of your hair through and then it's too loose once you let go."

Ugly cars. They are almost all ugly today, so it grieves me deeply.

Couples who insist on walking side-by-side down narrow aisles that others are trying to go down as well. I get that you guys are lovey-dovey, but the phrase 'become as one flesh' is a figure of speech, you're still two separate individuals occupying two separate space. Go single file and let others get around you.

My pet peeve is people who don't communicate effectively.

People who drone on about a single issue, ad nauseum.
Predictable and quite boring…
