I have a difficult time being around people who complain about money and always talk about how expensive things are. I'm grateful for everything and, from my point of view, whining about money is the opposite of gratitude.

When I have to listen to people whine about something being too expensive I want to say....

Buy it or don't buy it.

I refuse to participate in a pathetic conversation about lack of money.

What are your pet peeves? What is really irritating to you?

People who chew with their mouth open
People who make slurping noises when drinking or make loud gulping sounds
People who never get over stuff, they keep repeating the same crap like forever. Really annoys me. I pretend to listen & care by round 3.
People who complain about things but never do anything to change eg. fat people who talk about how sad they're that they've gained weight & they are telling you all of this while they're busy biting on a double cheese burger. Like, really? STFU then. Gosh!
Stingy people who are always comparing prices. They buy sugar at this store, buy coffee at another store & milk elsewhere, all in a bid to save a few Rands. Makes me homicidal to shop with someone like that.

People.
