Today while getting coffee i discovered a pet peeve of mine. Often times people will use sounds to show there discomfort or pleasure. a deep breath can be a sign of relaxation, etc... When i went to get my coffee you have to walk up to the station and pour it yourself. To do this you must walk through a line to get the register. When i approached the station there was a few people i had to walk between and one man was on the end of the station. From the looks of it he had already gotten his coffee because he was pouring sugar into his cup.
So i went to pour my coffee and the man next to my, the one putting sugar in his cup, starting clearing his throat. I try to ignore these subtle signs of impatience and would prefer if they just spoke up and said, " excuse me but i was here first." I would think that is not as rude as going, " (clear throat), angry stare, ( clear throat)."
From this incident i discovered that i have a pet peeve for people who subtly show their discomfort or pleasure. If your gonna do it do it to my face!
