Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn't, or something that makes you feel like a 
for getting annoyed at it.
I'll start with a combination of the two: When people call chiptune music "bitcrunch"
Not sure if this counts as a pet peeve but I can’t stand it when people want me to watch YouTube videos with them. Send me the link I’ll watch it later, don’t use up my socialising time for that shit
that is a perfectly rational pet peeve, i hate it when people do that
I hate when people send me YouTube videos in general. I’m rarely in a position to watch them without it annoying people around me. Also, I don’t pay google money so I end up getting screamed at to buy the next treat before I miss out.
get adblockers on your browser. feels like using premium internet.
usually i run into that on mobile, pc browser im usually good with pihole and ublock origin.
When people get too sexual while playing DnD. I don't care if ur a bard, if u try to push my beautiful autistic DM into describing ur fantasy I'll kill you in ur sleep.
Was almost gonna play DnD but then found out the group essentially used it to write smut together. So essentially they'd spend the night role playing characters flirting with and fucking each other. Feels like they should probably just fuck each other.
If they aren't I'm not sure if I understand the point. That seems extremely uncomfortable.
I didn't either and it did.
Like even flirting. Don't make my cute DM flirt he doesn't want to do it. :(
My current rpg (playing Fate and not D&D, but still) has two clear rules from session 0: No foregrounded sex, no foregrounded gore. I also did a "And let's move on" when one of the players was trying to flirt his way into a bar.
It's been working pretty well so far.
People who whistle. I consider myself a reasonably calm and understanding person, slow to anger. But something about people who whistle just sets me off instantly.
don't really have one but my partner hates when people call it "instapot" instead of "instant pot" anyway I just accuse them of being a brand integrity cop
lol me and your partner have that in common. "Band-aid," "Kleenex," and all others like it get under my skin.
You aren't thinking big picture. When brand names just become product names, the brand name loses its power. Defile all brands!
Medical adhesive tape?
bandage
Here, that would mean long strips that you wrap around something. Bandaids are the little ones with the sticky bit.
No one says Kleenex for tissue here though. Or hoover for vacuum cleaner.
Tupperware gets used for multi-use food safe box with a lid.
Trying to think of others, nothing feels quite as extreme as South USs "coke" for fizzy sweet drink
what's with the instapot hate?
People who chew with their mouth open. I'm likely a tad irrational on that one. But anybody who makes a habit of popping their gum several times a minute should likely face some form of severe corporal punishment. That one is not irrational of me.
those are valid pet peeves.
Mispronuniciations, my mom says 'excape', my former boss called arugula 'aroo-gyoo-la'. A lot of language stuff actually, I have a current co-worker that pronounces feta like 'féta' and he sounds otherwise like a TV American accent. I notice when people's semtence structure is wack. And the biggest one for me is people misusing words or using words wrong, if I could correct them and it be taken well and listened to, it'd be great, I could flex a bit. Non native speakers get a pass, that doesn't bother me. I'm a big giant nerd about language and try to speak with some precision and poetry, and have a tendency to ransack the dictionary without sounding like I'm putting on a air. It's one of those things where it came to me easy and I'm good at it and a tiny part of me still can't understand why this stuff doesn't come as easy to others.
Mispronuniciations,
Hope to make you cringe (linguistically), if I meet you in real life...
My biggest beef is with word misuse or people using words they don't understand the meaning of. Pronunciation is easily the most forgivable, sometimes you've only read the word. People using five dollar words wrong to seem smart really grinds my gears when they constantly invert the subject and object of a sentence. Like if they want to say a customer is substituting olives for onions as an example they'll always send it as sub onions for olives, it's easy to figure out cause one ingredient is standard and the other isn't but don't do that while using language you vaguely really from high school.

Ok I see what you mean... that's confusing to say the least...
haha this is very relatable
When people say that one thing is 'exponentially greater' than another thing, when there are only two points to compare.
Also, and, unfortunately, this applies to many, many people and their works, including academic and semi-academic ones, - not defining their terms. In particular, this applies to many philosophers in general, it seems, as well as Marx, Lenin (unless we count them among philosophers), etc.
On that note, if anybody is curious about what cases of that I could point to in works on socialist theory, I can oblige, especially if one would be able to help me by either citing sources of definitions for those terms, or showing how one could decipher what exactly an author meant.
The trick is to use "exponentially greater" when referring to nebulous or generally immeasurable concepts. Since they're impossible to quantify, it allows a term like that to imply a grand difference without really having any real details.
One that I don't think has come up here yet, but is often found in threads like this. Someone will be like "I really don't like X." Someone will then immediately reply to do X, and think they are very clever.
Like, "I don't know why but I don't like when sentences end with a preposition." Someone will think themselves very clever and reply with like "Why? What's up?"
I think because it's too obvious to be funny, and also just like very low grade cruel? Like they just told you they don't like the thing, why would you go out of your way to do it?

reason d'etre
Firstly, it was to entertain myself, as an egoist. Now, tis an honor to get recognized as a pet peeve...
I hate it when people call sketches "skits". Idk where this trend started but it feels like every time I see a clip from SNL or ITYSL, etc on Instagram or Tiktok there is some idiot in the comments saying "I love this skit". It's not a fucking skit! It's not called "skit comedy". Why does this make me so angry
What's the difference? 
It's hard to put into words other than a skit is something usually put together by people who aren't professional comedians, for an audience of people they know (i.e. coworkers, students at a school, fellow summer campers, etc)
"meal", "cake", and "milk". Absolutely hate hearing these words out loud, for no particular reason.
When people laugh by sucking air in over the sides of their tongue. Or when anyone does that as a habit or tic. Or whenever anyone does that for any reason.
Things have gotten a lot worse for me as zoom meetings have become normalized and I hear people mouthbreathing all day
When people laugh by sucking air in over the sides of their tongue.
I'm confused by this and am having trouble making a mental model of what you're describing. Given the thread topic, I'll go ahead and admit that it's irking me just slightly that I can't figure out what you mean!
I can kinda picture laughing by pushing air out along the sides of your tongue, but sucking in? Whaaaa?? The only things I can conjure up that seems like it might be what you're talking about are:
We don't have any horse emojis?! thought for sure we had at least a Canadian Mounty acab.) It can also be thrown in during regular speech to delay or break up speaking in a similar way to an "uhm" or "ehr" though its use is uncommon this way. Sometimes it can be done as an expression of like "I gotcha" 
This is the kind of sound that results from sharply sucking in air and it's somewhat like a hiss but with the sides of the tongue giving it more of an audible edge than a typical hiss. It always goes along with facial wincing from the pain. 
Or,
It also sort of works with the "yikes" response to something: 
But those don't seem to line up with what I think you actually mean since none of those could be mistaken for laughter. Well, maybe the horse-call one could, possibly. Do you know of any easily found videos or the like that would demonstrate? Not to trigger your peeve.
I know this is a lot to write on something so trivial, but hey I'm having fun with it. 
Imagine your second point, but repetitive and in a laughing cadence.
Anyway and anyways
My pedantic ass teacher back in the day made fun of a student for incorrect grammar and then said "anyways" which is technically wrong
I hate people that eat loudly/chew with mouth open. It's disgusting.
When people call chiptune music "bitcrunch"
I've never heard that one, but what really annoys me is when people call chiptunes "keygen music". 
i can't even tell if keygen is better or worse
People… that is all.
