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?!
