What is your biggest pet peeve?

Didn't see it listed yet...but Boots. People come in with boots beat to hell, falling apart, black as night from dirt or scuff marks. If its an FTX/STX it's ok but when we are in garrison for the last 3 weeks you have had plenty of time to clean them up.

One of my biggest pet peeves of late is people starching/pressing the ACUs.  

I think currently my biggest pet peeve is the incorrect placement and order of badges on ACUs. This mainly applies to individuals who have 3, 4, or 5 badges. Mainly people usually do this to accentuate certain badges (CIB), but there's still supposed to be an order to it!

I personally don't have any pet peeves. &nbsp;While I believe there is a time and a place for 670-1 to be strictly enforced I personally don't strictly enforce it at work. &nbsp;In my work environment many of the 'pet peeves' people tend to have are just not relevant. &nbsp;Put on a clean uniform and wear it properly. &nbsp;If you have a hand in your pocket while you're waiting for something is it really interfering with...well...anything?<div><br></div><div>There is a small level of opinion that goes into what appears to be "Professional" and I think many people have an issue admitting that. &nbsp;Personally, I think that a high &amp; tight haircut is the epitome of an unprofessional haircut and I'll even go so far as to say that it is a 'fad' hairstyle. &nbsp;Over in the 82nd many people would vehemently disagree with me and insist that it was the exact opposite. &nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Obviously if you're headed up to battalion or interacting with a senior NCO or an officer SA comes into play and you adjust accordingly. &nbsp;Know your operational environment.<br><div><div><br></div><div>I actually do have a pet peeve, but it's with the policy letter that prohibits the wear of minimalist shoes. &nbsp;There are some policies and regulations in place that, I feel, are there simply because someone decided to make them. &nbsp;The current issue with tattoos will probably be the next one.</div></div></div></div>

Hands in pockets, especially by leaders. Also walking while talking on your cell phone. For some reason I only see officers and senior NCOs doing the second one. Erks the heck out of me.

I guess mine would have to be walking and talking on the cell phone. It seems like everyone on Fort Benning has no better place to talk on the phone than the PX and all those same people lack the ability to pause for a few seconds and handle their business. 

No hands in pockets is a stupid rule. I get it when a Soldier is in formation. Stay warm.

sloppy uniforms and hair out of regs. I've always been of the opinion that the LEAST you can do at work is look good. "perception is reality".

My pet peeve? Hearing from soldiers returning from a military school that the Commandant of the school set the SOP that Soldiers are NOT allowed to wear skill badges or tabs on their uniform while they're a student. Who are they to supersede Army regulations authorizing you to wear what you've earned? AR670-1 gives a Commander the option to order Soldiers to wear the skill badges/tabs, but it doesn't give Commanders the right to order them removed from uniforms. AR670-1, Chapter 22, 22-2, 22-3.

Without a doubt, my biggest pet peeve usually begins with:
"...Just to piggyback on what the Commander said..."
Look, for the most part we understand your position as a SNCO/Officer. In every forum, we greatly respect your knowledge and wisdom that you've earned through years of service. We also understand that you have to show face for your subordinates. If the next 10-15 minutes consists of you simply re-stating what we have just heard, though, especially with little to no additions or rewording, then please do everyone the biggest favor you can do at that moment, and opt to just not talk. Or pick a different subject. Or do literally anything else with our time, instead of making us hear the same speech, from a different location, with a different vocal pattern. If you have nothing pertinent to say that has not already been said, then just don't talk. Please.
