A pet peeve is something that annoys or bothers someone very much. I’m sure I share many of my pet peeves with other people so I thought I would share five of mine with you.
My first pet peeve is when someone pronounces “espresso” like “expresso.” This also can apply to “library” and “etcetera.” It really bothers me when people do not pay attention to the spelling of a word. I don’t understand why we can’t take two seconds to read the word and at least attempt to pronounce it correctly.
My next pet peeve is possibly the one that bothers me the most and that is when someone ignores you while you’re talking and starts a different conversation with someone else. I’m letting you in on a secret: If you ever want to get under my skin, do this. I can’t stand when people do this and I do not understand why people think this is OK.
On a lighter note, my next pet peeve is the “new car smell.” As far as I know, society normally likes this smell. However, I must be in the minority because I hate it. If I ever get in a car that smells new, I immediately get a headache. I know this sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
Another one of my pet peeves is when you go to a fast food restaurant and you order at the speaker, but then you get up to the window and they ask you what you ordered. What was the point of me ordering at the speaker? Little Caesars does this almost every single time I go there. Little Caesars: Do better. If you aren’t going to listen to my order at the speaker, don’t make me order at the speaker.
My last pet peeve that I will mention is repetitive tapping or unnecessary noises. I feel like this is a pretty common pet peeve. Why would this not bother someone? Let’s just join together and decide that unnecessary noise is absolutely not necessary. So let’s not do it.
I have many, many more pet peeves than these five, such as mini desk vacuums and fake hair. However, I wanted to share just a few of my top pet peeves with you to make everyone aware of what annoys me.
