Why is “pet” involved with peeves? “Pet” peeves are particular and often continual annoyance; personal bugbear:
pet peeve is a behavior or display that generates slight annoyance in people. They aren’t things that are so inappropriate and rude that they necessarily warrant taking action, but they’re generally bothersome in a way that will make you roll your eyes in frustration.
My pet is warm and cuddly—definitely not a peeve; well, there are times a pet can be my pet peeve!!
Here’s my list of pet peeves:
- People who have a neat studio! Mine is always a mess! Never putting things back in place.
- People on their phone while I’m talking to them—hubby!
- Squeaky noises!
- Chewing gum or eating loudly!
- Incessant talking! No rest for my ears!
- Rude inconsiderate drivers
- When my computer takes tooooo long to load a page!
- People talking during a movie
- Someone singing (off key) when I’m listening to my favorite song
- Forgetting what I came in the room for!
- Cleaning under your nails with a knife
- Cars with no blinker fluid!
- Waiting in line at stores and no checkers at registers
- Scraping your plate or bowl when it’s empty
- Stirring stirring your tea continuously
- Ear worm songs!
How about your pet peeves?
