The trending Twitter hashtag #WaysToPissMeOff revealed to girls that boys have many of the same pet peeves as us when in a relationship. We might think that boys are always the laidback ones who don’t really care about what we do, but it seems there are a few things that really get under their skin.
The most common complaint boys had when using the hashtag was that their girls answer long text messages with the letter ‘k.’ I’m sorry, but isn’t that what boys always do? Talk about double standards. Whenever I text a boy a long message about something, I always get the ‘k’ response and it drives me insane. I never thought that it would upset them the same way it upsets me.
The guys also tweeted that they get upset when we say they said something that they never did, when we spend all night online instead of talking to them, and when we go through their phone and ask questions about to whom they’re talking. Some more obvious ones include leaving trash in their cars, not paying them back when we borrow money, and inviting them somewhere and expecting them to pay for us.
These all seem like normal complaints, but typically, we’re the ones complaining not the other way around.
Are you surprised boys get upset about these things? What are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to boys?

Not prioritizing. I completely get the need of alone time, couple time & friend time but canceling on couple time for a shitty reason or outright lie & then going out with your friends I think is very disrespectful. Why not be honest & tell your girl upfront why you dont want to go or why you dont like the activity & try to compromise on another? That’s one of the reasons why it didnt work out with my last ex. He never had money or time to do things with me but he was always with his friends & I got tired of his lack of committment & blowing me off.

I just can’t handle clingy-ness. I have friends, and they’ve been there before my bf and they’ll be there after him (likely), so yes, sometimes I need to spend time with them. That being said, I’m also totally okay with him going to hang out with his friends without me, too – it goes both ways!
Honestly, I’m used to SOME alone time, so I need somebody who won’t be offended if I don’t want to hang out 24/7. As much as I like him, I also have school and work.

not answering text msgs. having selective memories. calling me more than 2 times in an hour. using derogetory names to refer to women. not wanting to wear a condom.

when they take your for granted and they dont’ realize it until you’re gone, then they try to win you back.

The response “k” piss me off a lot because I have 300 sms per month. The response “k” is really not needed in practically all scenarios, especially if they sent me something earlier and I am responding back and the only practical thing to say is “k” which you can just not say. Half the time I just ignore people’s messages because I’ll just say “k” back at them. If something is really important, I’ll just call them. If I have unlimited texting, I might be okay with “k.” But I only have 300 and I’m most likely going over this month, so the letter “k” is completely unnecessary.

That’s the same “k” that it drives me mad ALL the time!

I’m unusual in that I text in full complete sentences with punctuation and capitalization, so I’ve had a hard time getting used to other people texting back in shorthand. In short, I text like I type.
Personally I hate texting and only reserve it for moments when I can’t use my phone. I call people if I want something. If I only text you and never call you, that’s how you know you’re low on my priority list.

Guys don’t like it when we spend all night online instead of talking to them?! Since when do girls stay up all night playing Halo and the guy is waiting in bed for her to come talk to him??
Anyway. My biggest pet peeve is probably indifference. Boys are sometimes SO laid-back, that they don’t bother to make plans, or when you ask what they want to do, they say “I don’t care”. Ugh. Be a man, take charge, and make a decision.

I agree with @stanlee255@xanga - My best friend does the “K” thing a lot and it pisses me off, especially since I don’t have unlimited text. If I say “I’ll be over in 10 mins” there is absolutely no need to waste my texts with “K” since a) we will see each other in 10 minutes and b) I’ll be driving by then and liking won’t be looking at the phone. I might save the meme above to use if it happens again.

My fiance HATES when I leave trash in his truck (even though every surface inside his truck is covered in dust or spilled coffee). Sometimes he actually cleans my car (even though I tell him not to) because he is driven insane by clutter of any sort. But I guess ankle-deep cans and bottles on the passenger side floor is a little bit ridiculous

girls who add “like” into texting drives me insane.
Example: “It was like 85 degrees at the beach today”. Kill me please

My husband and I are so nosy, haha. Anytime we get a phone call or a text, we always look over the other person’s shoulder and ask what the conversation is about… I can see how anybody else would be seriously annoyed by that behavior, haha. Good thing we’re equal offenders in that regard.

I’m a teenager who texts all the time and I don’t use ‘text talk’. I did when I was.. I dunno, ten on MSN. But quickly outgrew it. It’s not that hard to just use propper grammar and punctuation.
guest
so in other words, guys are the better person because they don’t complain, suck it up and love us anyway despite our numerous flaws. That’s why we love you guys!
guest
my biggest pet peeve about guys is when they are too quiet, cuz then I just sit there or even worse, when all they want to do is smoother you, It makes the relationship for one creepy and boring.
