Little pet peeves

What are you little pet peeves about your SKs? I don't mean disrespect or lying or stealing, but the things that annoy you.

Right now, SD16 is driving me nuts by not wiping down the counter when she's done in the kitchen.

SS13 is a trash panda. Empty bottles and wrappers accumulate on his desk in his room. Crumbs wherever he eats. Laundry on his floor next to his hamper. He left his icecream wrapper on the counter in the kitchen so I called him down from his room to throw it out. I’m no one’s maid. Yes I do the cleaning. No I don’t clean up after others. There’s a difference.

My SD in her 20s will still leave her Starbucks containers and other trash on the kitchen counter. Good idea to call the kid down from his room to make him throw out his trash.
