that's a good one.
Especially annoying when that happens
after the chick/person is the one who initiated the conversation or internet private message WITH YOU, and you've kept it strictly within the boundaries and tone of how the steaks are here at the market, or within the discussion of these breeders' cup races (or whatever they bugged you for).
(seriously have had it happen in a private messages about a breeders race sequence!)
What do you say at that point of awkwardness?
bold and sarcastic - "
Oh congratulations!!!
flattering(or perceived harassment? who knows in this world...) -
"you're married?! Should've known...",
deservedly
mean? (and absolutely will be perceived in a negative light lol) -
"Sorry, you're... not... my... type!!!" 
worse yet and not as funny [I
]"and he's OK w/ this??"[/I]
similar note to the hubby invoke/ BF/spouse mention = People who feel the need to tell you their sexuality within a brief convo. "my partner, my wife.. I'm gay btw, my (whatever), btw i'm (whatever)"
Even a cool guy who happens to be straight as an arrow doesn't need to tell me about all the pussy he gets during what started as an exacta combo discussion.
similar again, and probably even
worse IMO 
= People who feel the need to broadcast their sexuality even in the
tone of their voice
. Maybe this is a biased comment that isn't politically correct? If some feminine female who sounds relatively pleasant, I suppose it would be merely awkward/potentially the cause of explanation to my wife rather than an annoying dislike of a 'peeve'.
Tons and tons of things bother me, and I bother myself.
but want to add a "Neighbor" pet peeve.
It blows my mind some of the neighborly interactions I've had at current residence (and it's not even the city).
At the VERY LEAST simply acknowledge the shared geographical area of living spaces!
Courtesy and Kindness would be a bonus, but
at least some minimum mutualRespect of the fact that we live on or near the same set of land.
Introduce yourself (and/or respond to a polite introduction).
some crazy shit in a few years here where I rent half-house that has a separate half-house unit and a separate garage unit, thus usually having three different tenants.
/We came home one day to find that the garage guy (seemingly friendly blue collar redneck private mechanic guy) had put in wooden posts and a locked chain blocking the entrance of our shared driveway. Had never consulted us or the landlord over the existing terms of agreement. Had never discussed the driveway with us whatsoever.
(Somehow his posts were then mysteriously dug out and thrown over the hillside that same day.)
another time, my wife had opened an envelope from our mailbox that turned out to be the people up front (seemingly friendly middle eastern family with multiple cars parked on front lawn). I immediately brought it around to the front of the house and knocked on their front door (middle of the afternoon). After a friendly apology for the mix up, their kid (kid as in early 20s son) answered the door and threatened to call the police on us for 'going through their mail'. *
That's just the fine folk on our tract of land.
I don't even know the names of most of the people/families on my street!
Only semblance of respect/'neighborlyness'(sp? is that a word?) is during the routine of walking our dog, when occasionally a basic friendly hand-wave to other pedestrians or dog owners and/or my wife will baby-talk to other dogs in yards, or dogs walking with their owners as we go.
