One peeve that is more than pet and that is the missing card syndrome; you know it is somewhere in the house but can't find it when you need it. Discomfort turns to raw panic as you tear the place apart, knowing (you think, but are beginning to doubt) that it must be there - please God. I once dismantled an entire chest of drawers apart looking for my beautiful E106 Speaker. Tried to explain to the wife why her nice set of drawers was now a pile of wood. Needless to say, she didn't understand. Never did find the card.
