What is your pet peeve?

[Lowbatts]

Etymology of the word peeve,
peevish
1393, peyvesshe "perverse, capricious, silly," of uncertain origin, possibly modeled on L. perversus "reversed, perverse," pp. of pervertere "to turn about" (see pervert). Meaning "cross, fretful" first recorded c.1530. The verb peeve is a 1908 back-formation; pet peeve "the thing that provokes one most" is first attested 1919

Etymology ofthe word pet,
pet (1)
"tamed animal," originally Scot. and northern England dial., of unknown origin. Sense of "indulged child" (1508) is recorded slightly earlier than that of "animal kept as a favorite" (1539), but the latter may be the primary meaning. Probably associated with or influenced by petty. The verb is 1629 meaning "treat as a pet;" the sense of "to stroke" is first found 1818. Slang sense of "kiss and caress" is from 1920 (implied in petting, in F. Scott Fitzgerald). Teacher's pet is attested from 1914.
pet (2)
"peevishness, offense at feeling slighted," 1590, in phrase take the pet "take offense." Perhaps from pet (1) on a similar notion to that in Amer.Eng. that gets my goat, but the underlying notion is obscure, and the form of the original expression makes this doubtful. This word seems to have been originally a southern Eng. term, while pet (1) was Scottish.

Wouldn't you rather someone/something get your goat?

If you just stirred your coffee don't stick that spoon into the sugar jar. The resulting clumps don't easily dissolve.
Also people who poke me in the eye with a #2 pencil when they don't really know if I deserved it or not.

I was so looking forwards to eating out today, I didn't have any breakfast so i would thoroughly enjoy my meal.
I got seated by a BIG woman, mid 40's & her elderly mother.
To cut a long story short, the woman scoffed her food like a pig, blew her nose after the meal, not just blew it neither, she wasn't satisfied until she had fingered her nose for at least 5 mins. Her mother after wrapping up some buttered buns, she felt the need to rearrange her false teeth..
I just sat there shaking my head side to side sighing. The woman said 'whats the matter?' I replied ' I wish we could see ourselves has others see us'
She got up to leave & retrieved her knickers out the crack of her ass. (sorry)..

Folks that use the word cheap, when they
should use the word low priced.
Big difference.

did the bird go "Low Priced Low Priced" ?

Sorry, Just a "Low Priced" Shot

This reminds me of what old dad used to say. He'd say "some people claim Bill isn't proper, but who ever heard of the duck sticking his William through the fence?"

My pet peeve is cavemen who pour sugar into their coffee then stir it with a #2 pencil.

You were supposed to get rid of the potty training booster seat YEARS ago.... I know, it's soft, comfy, and the little duck pictures are cute ~ but it's time to move on!

I am sure you are directing that at me. I was not making fun of anyone. But I CAN work next to anyone and hold my own including you with or without a moo moo.

I can see this becoming a very long Thread...

People driving who just STOP in the road/car park, pretending they haven't seen you.
I just clap my hands, that gets them moving because they feel so stupid..Thats so annoying.

Ohh also ppl who are shopping & just STOP walking, blocking the way..again pretending NOT to see you waiting.
I have NO patience, none what so ever..

The #1 has to be "BAD DRIVERS!" includes the slow, inattentive, and drivers using cell phones, reading maps , or putting on makeup at 50 MPH.

My #2 Is people who believe that an air test can and does give the actual depth a detector will read in the field. Last time I looked the fields I detect where filled with dirt.
