Pet Peeves

According to Wikipedia the def. of a Pet Peeve is a minor annoyance that can instill extreme frustration in an individual. Typically each person has several pet peeves that aggravate her or him more than the average person. Another person may not react as negatively or at all to the same circumstance.

As a general rule they are something that really isn't worth being bothered by but you just cannot help but get wound by peoples certain behaviours. I have compiled a small list off the top of my head that contains some of the things that tend to rub me up the wrong way. They are when people:

  • Get to and too mixed up
  • Don't know the difference between your and you're (this is a recent one of mine, thanks to Duncan..)
  • Don't indicate when driving
  • Drive RIGHT up your / someones ass
  • Squish the toothpaste so its all scrunched up rather than a smooth tube
  • Leave dirty dishes piled in the sink, so much so that you can't use the tap to pour yourself a glass of water

So everyone, watch out next time you are around me and say / perform one of the above, as I may explode out of frustration and bite your head off. What about you though, what do I have to be careful of saying / doing around you? Please tell me so I know I'm not the only crazy person with totally irrational pet peeves.

Hey TUI! I found your page its great, when looking for pet gravel.

Here are my pet peeevs:

1. People who use "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less"; That really annoys me, though I couldn't care less really. LOL! Its number 1 on my list, so i do care really.

2. Twigs. They always get in the way of my dog, Sandra, who can't get twigs at all . She is a bit handicapped I think./

3. Cakes with cream beczause its getson my hands and then I dropmy magazines on Sandra

Your blog si great.
