The humidity.
You know we all have at least one, or more. So, what's yours?
Mine is foreign people (people from other countries, nationalities, whatever is the politically correct way of saying it ) not shutting up during attractions that you need to be listening to. Carousel of Progress has always been my favorite Disney attraction, and this time I took my adult DD with me who had never been to Disney before so it was her first time to experience this attraction.
We had a family (4 adults/3 children) speaking Spanish the entire time directly behind us. They were not quiet about it either. Everyone else was being quiet, except for a child now and then but that is to be expected.
Now, I don't know if they could not speak English, but please...if you don't understand the English language and you still go into an attraction where people would want to be listening to it, please for the love of all that's holy...shut up!!!
general rudeness annoys me.
I'm Canadian though, polite is bred into us, eh.
If that annoys you so much, maybe WDW is not the best vacation for you. Maybe you can find a quieter, more isolated place or a place where they only yell in 'merican so you can have a more enjoyable time
There. You dropped that. What kind of stereotypical Canadian foreigner are you anyway? Eh?
People that scream at cast members who are trying to help them (or scream at cast members for things out of their control eg a ride being down for rehab)
Trying to watch a parade/show *around* everyone's held up camera phones/ipads (this is a universal pet peeve for me, you can't go anywhere anymore without this problem)
And this one will get me lambasted I'm sure- but I really dislike seeing women breastfeeding uncovered in public. I have nothing against breastfeeding as a rule, but I just don't want to see it.
She was griping about being in an attraction that is almost completely SPOKEN and not being able to hear because the family behind her (who could not understand the spoken aspect) decided to talk loudly over the spoken words of CoP.

LOL. I could write it in Spanish too living in Miami.My pet peeve is all you "furriners" who just don't seem to understand that we Flori-duh residents are more important than any of you "turrists!" After all, you know what they say about furriners - they're not from around here! (Now removing tongue from cheek.)

Edited to add: I'll bet if I thought about it long enough, I could write that post in Spanish!
Personally, I don't like talking on the rides and other attractions, but if someone is going to do it, I would rather it be in a language I can understand. Then I can roll my eyes at them without feeling guilty or worried that they are talking about how they just felt a massive tumor under their arm and need to go to the hospital as soon as they can get off the ride.Foreigners. Seriously? ONLY foreigners talk during attractions? You really haven't been paying attention then. 9 times out of 10 when I have felt the need tell someone to shut the hell up it has been someone speaking perfectly fluent English. Usually with a pronounced American regional accent.
Amen. I took my daughter to WDW when she was two for her first visit and was concerned about the stretching room. I knew she could handle the rest of the ride, but that room is easily the scariest part. She handled it like a champ. In fact, she was begging to go on it again and again. Around our 4th time, though, we were in there with a group of high schoolers who were having a great time. They screamed at the top of their lungs when the lights when out and then one girl screamed, "We're all going to die!" Scared my daughter half to death.People who scream for the sake of screaming.
For instance, HM stretching room. Many kids hate the room and are scared by it, adults screaming incessantly only makes it worse.
Just about every peeve falls under the general heading of "people who are rude", be it pushing in front of kids at parades or not saying please and thank you, general rudeness annoys me.
I'm Canadian though, polite is bred into us.
Also, a joke for you. My husband told it to me and he was told it by his Canadian boss: Ah Canada. The one country that had the ability to get France's food, American's technology, and England's manners. Instead, they opted for England's food, France's technology, and America's manners.
A brit would have had the manners to not correct me.
