The unique ultra-soft plush Pet Peeves have quirky messages embroidered on them that express the annoyances we all face daily. There are eight cuddly little messengers: Hear Me Heather – “Being Ignored Turns Me Off!”; Cheerful Chris – “Grouches Get My Goat!”; Neat Nick – “A Mess Makes Me Crazy!”; Do-Not-Call Dan – “Telemarketing Gets on My Nerves!”; Hang Up Hank – “Cell Phones Make Me Scream!”; Timely Tim – “Late People Tick Me Off!”; Back Off Brittany – “Tailgating Drives Me Over the Edge!”; and Help Me Madison – “Bad Service Makes Me Bananas!” Pet Peeves allow “people to vent and laugh at everyday aggravations in a fun, clever and lighthearted way,” Lauren Kelcher of Lippin Group told TDmonthly. Launch date: March 2006.

People with annoyances can get them off their chest by giving a Pet Peeve plush toy to the offending party. Clutterhog, otherwise known as Slobbus Chaoticus, hides beneath piles of debris. He can live for weeks on old sandwiches. He’s a perfect gift for someone who lacks a sense of order. He was launched in July 2005, along with his friends Cellephant, the gabby elephant; Tailgator, the dangerous driver; Snail Pacer (always late); Customer Coot, who’s convinced that the customer’s always wrong; and Ignorilla, who refuses to listen to loved ones. Based on quantitative research of people's top annoyances, the company has developed the first Pet Peeves branded products. The company specializes in the design, manufacturing and distribution of quality products and entertainment properties through the gift and specialty retail channels.
