I have many pet peeves. My first is people yakking away on their phones in public spaces like trains and cafes. My second has to do with people who blast their music at the beach, the park or the backyards. We have no choice in the matter.
I hate kids in restaurants who don’t know how to act in restaurants. Either do the work and teach them early on that dining out is an escape for humans to connect with other humans in meaningful, screen-free ways—or don’t. But please don’t subject the rest of us to your child’s iPad screen.
Second, I also hate when hotels charge for internet but I'll take it a step further - I believe all high-end hotels should offer everything in the minibar for free. You are spending thousands of euros a night? Give me a free snickers bar! And finally, I also hate slow talkers, even though I happened to marry one. My husband holds the official title of World’s Slowest Elucidator.
Servers at restaurants who ask if you’ve dined there before. When I answer yes and they continue to go over every section and item of the menu and detail their favorite dishes. I don’t need the dissertation.
Disagree with 39. Only the very young and very old look great wearing big diamonds, Hermes bags, fur coats…. People in the middle just look like normal rich people (snooze)
I also hate Nutella and the word Babe so I feel vindicated!
We’re always right!
“Hun” should be outlawed!
And a catty gay friend said "More like Atilla the Hun" Ha.
Wait, that’s good
A woman at work called me Hun which I absolutely hated.
Thanks for making me smile; great way to start the day💕
Hi, mom!
Bare feet on planes. I sat next to someone who kept stretching her toes next to me. Socks are the last layer!
Yuck! I forgot the pet peeve of people who use the bathroom on a plane without their shoes on 🤮
Saw someone go to the bathroom on an airplane while barefoot once 🤢
Yuck! I’ve seen that too. That’ll go in Part 2, ha.
People who don’t know how to hold a knife and fork properly.
We need to your etiquette friend on American television ASAP! 😜

Is. Sean. A. Slow. Talker?
Hard-stopping taxi cab drivers which triggers immediate car sickness.
And can give you a black eye too!
Servers who ask how your first bites are tasting. Makes me lose my appetite!
We could do a whole other post on waiter etiquette :)

Maybe we need a whole new list exclusively devoted to dining etiquette? 😜
Topless girls on the beach (unless you have great ones but come on do we need to see that?)
It’s funny you say that. I have found that the concept of a new beach is much more attractive than the reality. It’s never who you wanna see! 😜

I stand corrected 👍
People who say, “Yeah, no” or “no, yeah”
Bad nose jobs (neither was their fault)
Uncomfortable seating
Yes x 3!
This explains so much… also I need an 8x10 glossy of you and NB in the Bjorns & Birks.
The photo can be arranged, no problemo
People who want to shake my hand while I’m eating! I’m Chinese— we bow, say nice to see you and move on.
“Keep it moving” is a rule I’d like more people to adopt
Brilliant
Highly recommend toro with caviar to all who celebrate. Thank you for dinner DB!
