Inspired by Jezebel’s 2014 Cake vs. Pie March Madness, and with the help of style- and manners-conscious Maria Hecht, my good friend and fellow Boston blogger Robert over at etiquetteer.com has prepared a tournament of Pet Peeves to find out what peeves you the most.
In one conference Etiquetteer has identified Weddings and Driving / Transportation Peeves, and in the other he focuses on Table Manners / Dining Out and General Peeved Peeves. The survey will take about 2 minutes to complete and you’ll immediately see how your responses compare to the larger sampling of responses to date.
Etiquetteer’s Spring Madness of Pet Peeves
Bracket options include choices like:
Of these two wedding related pet peeves, which one makes you more nuts?
Lack of information about time, directions, etc.
or
No indication of dress code.
And…
Which of these two dining out related pet peeves heat you up more?
Texting at the table.
or
Last minute cancellations.
Feel free to share with your friends to compare your pet peeves. The winning Pet Peeve will be announced on his blog on Wednesday, May 6, 2015.

As a regular commuter into Boston area I have a couple.
1) When disembarking from the commuter rail put the damned cell phone in your purse or pocket. Look straight ahead and walk!
2) On escalators in South Station – stationary/static traffic to the right, mobile/dynamic traffic to the left. Sort of how you drive ya know.
Some of us would like to make the earlier connection to the Red Line. But we have to either slog out an escalator ride or walk behind some idiot plodding along with their head down, staring at a cell phone screen.
