What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve would have to be seeing lieutenants walk around with their rank upside down.. Can't stand it, always have to make on-the-spot corrections!

Males with long nails. Drives me absolutely ape $h!t. I carry a pair of finger nail clippers in my pocket now for such occasions.

Oh where to start.......How about the chef boyardee berets???? Is it that hard to make it look correct and not like you are a complete idiot??? or how about the shaving profile??? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain it's not allowed to be shaped or lined up.

I'll admit that my right hand is almost always in my pocket.

As a female and Marine, my huge pet peeve is the nasty hair on females. We are required to maintain a certain appearance, and seeing other service female with nasty hair, and yes, some Marines, drives me bonkers. But I can't say anything since I know they are not as strict on their hair appearance.

The fact that every few years the Army insists on changing the dress uniforms. The Marines have had the same dress uniforms for what, a hundred years? They appear none the worse for it and the tax payers are certainly no poorer for it. (I hate these blue uniforms.)

Not the wear of a particular uniform, but could you tell me why every Chief of Staff (pick your service) seems to think a new uniform needs to be created? If they would at least make sure any changes are to fix a valid issue great. But what is this "exculsive" crap they seem to want? I mean they whine about "personnel costs" but can pay millions (if not more) for a new gee whiz uniform that doesn't fix any of the problems of the old ones. The AF blue cammo is a prime example, then the wonderful ACU's that were only one heavy weight but expected to be worn in the desert. How about they save some money and design utility uniforms for the types of distinct missions being performed across the military? You can have your spiffy non-utility and service dress uniforms that are distinctive by service. But this foolish "my camo pattern is better than yours" crap has to stop. Just pick one and require that all future changes be justified by identification of a actual problem being corrected without causing another worse problem.

My biggest pet peeve.....flapping collars! Looks like they are gonna fly away or something, lol. I see it on enlisted and officers...and it bugs me every time. I know we aren't supposed to starch ACUs, but have a little pride in the way you look and iron down those neck wings! I steam iron my whole uniform....I can't walk around looking ate up.

My biggest peeve is wearing utility caps like baseball caps (jammed down on the head). I've seen 17 year SNCOs do this, and it drives me up the walls. The cap is suppose to be resting on the top of your head with a flat top and the bill almost in line with your eyebrows.

No umbrellas in the driving rain makes no sense to me!
