Pet Peeves

When I was younger, I used to think that "Pet Peeves" meant "things you don't like about someones' pet."  So when I was asked what my pet peeves were, I said "when my cousin's cat rubbed it's body on my leg."  Funny, turns out (had I known the truth about PP) I had way more than that one!  And now...seems like life (to me) is one big pet peeve.  I suppose I'm writing this in hopes for hints, advice or just a slap on my cheek, telling me to smarten up!  I am not writing this to list all my annoyances as I would need a few hours, 14 pages and you would get soooooo bored!  Poor Dwayne has to live with me forever complaining about every little noise he makes.  I try to tell him not to take it personally, and that I hate it when other people breathe too!  I think Mom can understand that one!  She is constantly telling Kevin to "STOP BREATHING!" (because she can't stand the sound of it either!)  haha.
What I'm trying to say is, why does everything annoy me so much?  I had picked "hearing" in my poll as the one sense I'd prefer to lose.  Dwayne gets angry at me for saying so, but honestly, if I didn't have to hear a single thing, I think I wouldn't be annoyed so much.  I cannot stand the sounds of picking, flicking, chewing, sniffing, feet shuffling, taps dripping, nail biting, gum chewing, head scratching, coughing, burping, (although I do LOVE a good fart!) teeth sucking, lip smacking .....  I could go on and on and on!  I do have other peeves that are not related to sound, but for the most part....noises drive me insane!!!!!!
