About This Quiz
"Grrr" may be a sound you are well aware of whether you're in traffic or trying to catch a quick lunch. Pet peeves are everywhere! Does your office-mate trim their toe-nails at work? Does your pizza place have a problem layering the pepperoni equally across the pizza? Or are you just sick and tired at the money pit you call a house?
Sure, we'd love for life to be a sunny day every day, but the fact is, even that overly happy neighbor has their personal pet peeves - incidentally, the lawn you haven't cut in over a week might be driving that neighbor crazy.
So, what do your pet peeves say about the type of person you are? Are you a bit of a neat freak who can't stand that your child is eating Spaghettios while wearing a white shirt? Perhaps you must overly plan for everything and that slothy partner of yours drives you nuts with their lack of planning. Or are you that sloth of a partner who is irritated without a broad degree of flexibility?
Love 'em or hate 'em, you have pet peeves that are destined to drive you nuts. Answer these questions, and we'll tell you how these pet peeves define your personality. Careful, this quiz is known to bring out the feisty side.
