Idk if it is a pet peeve as opposed to a real concern, but when people will disregard everyone's safety on the road just to be first.
Tbh, I don't have many pet peeves as I have learned to let things go and realize how many things are first world problems. Then there is the realization of how privileged I am to even consider getting upset at something so minor when it isn't a big deal.
That said, I also am medicated for a few anxiety related things and have spent 1000s in therapy (as well as 100s of hours) so I simply can't let the small stuff get to me lololo
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Ads for gambling constantly on the TV and radio.
The worst thing is they have to say "please gamble responsibly" at the end of the commercial - there's absolutely no such thing as "responsible" gambling, it's ruined so many lives.
It's an addiction and should be treated the way they handled cigarette advertising, ie ban the advertising of it completely.
To be fair, I gamble responsibly. Back when I used to drink (I use the herb alternative now as it is legal, has less calories and no hangover), I went to casinos and just treated it like an arcade. I brought a set amount of money to play with and once that was gone, that was it.
Idk to me a casino isn't much different than a Dave and busters

Fair enough, there are lot of people who let it get out of control though.
Like you, I've gambled once or twice - in a casino on holiday, a bet on a horse on a visit to Ascot, but it's always been for a special occasion and not just for the sake of it.
I still maintain that it's irresponsible to advertise it so heavily.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
Input reading that tries to pass as difficulty.
The age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
