Pet Peeves

[electrycmonk]

Imma really sick twisted person sorry

I see nothing wrong here.

This reminds me of a radio station’s tagline from over 20 years ago:
“_radio call letters-, our inner child is one sick twisted puppy.”

/end of line.

When we rebuilt a 60 yo house post-Katrina I asked DW "Do you want it straight or level?" She was not amused. (and she has a micrometer eye.)

Eye see what you did there.

And don't call me surly.

Sherley you jest at such a term.

Ah, there's another one! When people say, "the buttcrack of dawn." Please, folks, that's a very repulsive image. The poetic term is simply, "the crack of dawn," and it has nothing to do with what you see when the plumber is under your kitchen sink.

Oh my.

But it’s so funny! Almost as funny as watching my big hens give banty roosters a piggyback ride.

Do tell….

That is just before dawn.

That is Oh God o'clock

Oh mercy, here let me educate you on this one:

It’s said, & I quote:
Character A: ”It’s O-dark 30.”
character B: “What’s the O stand for?”
Character A, B & several others say in chorus, “Oh my gawd it’s early!”

/end of military lesson

And little old ladies like me... I name one of the Hawaiian Islands when I sneeze.

(o-AH-u!)

Nailed it!

Chewing loudly. I have to leave the room or put on headphones. DF is the worst offender with his oatmeal

Open mouth and smacking. I die. It’s so bad. He also scrapes the bottom of the bowl with the metal spoon and it KILLS me

My ears are hurting.

A pet peeve is "something a particular person finds especially annoying".


Do you have a pet peeve? Or perhaps more than one?
Ones I'm most interested in hearing are the ones that wouldn't necessarily annoy a lot of people but is something that drives you nuts.
Share what it is and the reason (if you have one) behind it.

The sound of a pet licking themselves..

My mother used to have a Pomeranian who was obsessed with licking her front paws. Constantly lick lick licking. It was disgusting.

Our dog did this too and it was exacerbated by a skin condition he developed after we moved to FL so he was CONSTANTLY licking himself. I felt bad because I knew it wasn't his fault or anything but...no..nooooo..NOOOO!!!
