    People who travel in sweat pants and hoodies or “athlileasure” (sp?) cloths on airplanes. Yeah, I get that you want to pretend it’s a big sleepover, but I don’t want to be in a sleepover with you. I’m probably not looking forward to this trip and am already stressed. I just find it to be somehow disrespectful of others, not sure why.

    I’m probably the weird one on this peeve, but I have to travel a lot for work. People do this shit on long distance trains too.

    Other pet peeve is when someone corrects someone else’s pronunciation of a word in a condescending manner. The person mispronouncing the word probably read it in a book and has just never heard it pronounced in the wild. Making fun of someone trying expand their vocabulary is just petty. There are nice ways to correct them and actually help them they could have used.

      So, one of your pet peeves is when someone makes a big deal out of a simple thing that isn’t hurting anyone else, and you’re other pet peeve is a simple thing that doesn’t hurt anyone else which you make a big deal out of.

      Claiming everyone’s dressed for a sleepover that you don’t want to be part of is pretty condescending. Just like the person who doesn’t think you are saying a word correctly, you’re the person who doesn’t think anyone is dressed correctly.

      Might be time for some introspection.

      I don’t look like I’m wearing a tracksuit, but I often wear loose fitting comfortable clothes when travelling long distances. What’s the issue you have with it? You could do the same and be comfortable, and probably less stressed 😅

        I read it as “I’m powerless in the face of what I believe is social convention/work requirements, so as I am unwilling to take the risk of rebelling I dislike those who do rebel”

        It’s the same mindset as bitching and moaning against other people participating in demonstrations or strikes.

        It’s a passive-aggressive coping mechanism for low self-confidence, IMHO.

          I absolutely judge people who just go about their day to day life in joggers with no shame though, but ironically, when travelling for hours?

          It’s the one time I totally understand the need for comfort above all else and will defend it 😅

      omg I use to hang out with people who would say to me “oh you only read that word, and never heard it said to you”
