the official pet peeve...

you know when you fill out surveys...ahem...mabe this is just me. remember when email surveys used to be so popular? haha. ahh yes. anyways...often there's a question, "what's your biggest pet peeve?" i can never think of one on the spot. i thought of my biggest pet peeve today. i thought i'd share...

when you say that you're either you have a cold or that you're getting a cold and the person you're telling says, "oh! stay away from me!" (or something to that extent) i hate that.

how about you? pet peeves?

Hey Rebecca!

The only time I ever say that, is to one of my friends who has this habit of getting sick all the time and then coughing and sneezing everywhere and on everything. So you are bound to get sick if you stand anywhere near her. I can't think of my pet peeve right now. I'll get back to you on that.

Um, I feel like I have many pet peeves. One that stands out involves pushing the button at a crosswalk. My pet peeve being when you push it, and then someone walks up right behind you (who likely saw you push it the first time) and pushes it again x10. Why do people push these buttons many times? It doesn't make the light change faster, FYI.

Ok, I thought of more pet peeves:

1. When people leave stickers on the bottom of their shoes...e.g. this morning, when I was getting off of the LRT, the lady walking in front of me had bought her shoes at Winners (ain't no shame in that), but she had left the stickers on the bottom. Tacky. I think.

2. (in a similar vein) When people leave the thingy (tag?) sewed to the sleeve of their "100% Wool" jacket...you know, it's sewn on the outside? Well, newsflash...it's supposed to be removed before wearing.

I get annoyed when I'm discussing a recent TV show with someone (usually Lost) and then someone walks over and demands that I stop talking about it because they haven't watched it yet. IMHO, if you're not going to watch TV shows when they air, that's your business, but don't assume that you can boss other people around because you've decided to be behind the times!
