Pet Peeve Wednesday

Pet peeve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1980s metal band, see Pet Hate. For other uses, see Pet peeve (disambiguation).
A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it

Its first usage was around 1919. The term is a back-formation from the 14th-century word 'peevish,' meaning ornery or ill-tempered.

Description
Pet-peeves often involve specific behaviors of someone close, such as a spouse or significant other.These behaviors may involve disrespect, manners, personal hygiene, relationships, and family issues.

Often a pet peeve will seem acceptable to others. For example, a supervisor may have a pet peeve about people leaving the lid on the copier up and react angrily, be annoyed when others interrupt when speaking, or by messy desks of their subordinates.That same supervisor may witness employees coming into work late, and not feel any annoyance whatsoever. Complaining, Teasing, and Other Annoying Behaviors.


So what is you Pet Peeve I have several , so I will list a few:

1) People eating or talking with their mouths full
2) Slow drivers
3)SMACKING...OMG THAT ONE GETS TO ME LOL
4)Tapping on something or clicking your fake nails lol
5) Popping your gum....now really people we ALL should be grown enough to know this is not appropriate in a work setting?!

*So, next week we will continue Pet Peeve Wednesday! Tell me what yours are*

Van Der Sloot

When my son graduated from High School in 2005 the Natalie Holloway case had just happened. I was mortified! I was even more mortified at the fact that the evidence was obvious and yet there was no conviction. I didn't understand why Aruba did not interrogate him to the point that he confessed as is what happened in Peru! I understand his dad was a Judge, but to even keep peace among the countries, tourism and just plain moral decency something MORE should have taken place.

To see her parents on T.V. night after night just broke my heart. I could not imagine (nor do I want to) the nightmare these parents have lived through. They have proven to be a force that Aruba didn't expect.

Now since Aruba didn't do their job another girl has died tragically. Stephany Flores just 21 was brutally murdered by what all evidence appears to be, Van Der Sloot! This brutal attack is more than just ''I briefly exploded''. He claims, ''I didn't want to do it, but she intruded on my personal life''! Seriously?! That's why you beat someone unrecognizable with a tennis racket. He broke her neck! What an extremely rare and violent way to kill someone. Not to mention a hard way!!

Just seeing him on the surveillance cameras before and after makes me nauseated. He appears smug -almost non-shalaunt. It looks odd that Stephany is walking behind, head down like she doesn't want to be recognized. There were roofies in her car that HE drove 50 blks after her murder....could he had given her one? She was a lesbian yet found without her pants? I don't understand what the purpose was of going to the room?! I wonder what he said or told her. There is yet something we may never know!

Everything he has said to date has been a lie about Natalie Holloway. He appeared to unravel at his fathers sudden passing. I still believe his dad helped with the cover-up of Holloway, his son never appeared to be smart enough to pull that off. Now we can see without Aruba and his dad he is not!!

We also find out of his extortion plot of $250,000 in the U.S. and now we learn it was with Natalie's mother! I would give anything also to recover my child's body......what a nightmare!!

Peru says his 7hour interrogation consisted of him '''breaking down'' and ''crying''!! I pray he gives Natalie's parents the where-a-bouts of their daughter and then I pray he rots in a jail cell ''crying'' and ''breaking down'' till the end of his days!

Peru's Court System has mitigating factors such as the use of intoxicants, pleading guilty and taking responsibility. There is 2 for 1 in Peru which means his sentence can be cut in half for co-operating! That's tragic! So, everything he is saying so far is in his best interest!

I pray the U.S. approaches the Peruvian government in the Holloway's behalf to try and get the where a bouts of their daughters body. I pray for mercy for both of these families and the conviction of what can only be a murderer!

Yes ,I do believe in forgiveness, but in a circumstance such as this God would have to forgive because if it was MY child I could not be that big! Van Der Sloot is what I would consider to be one of the Vilest, Lowest, Narcissistic pieces of Human waste there is!
