According to WEQX's morning show, this is National Pet Peeve Week. Every day they've been asking callers what their pet peeve is (or are, if they have more than one).
So I started thinking... what's my pet peeve?
Well, there's lack of tolerance for one. People who walk through life with their blinders on, refusing to see any more than one side of a story, or in some cases, refusing to see the whole story, drive me nuts.
Then there's the silly one -- I hate people coming up behind me and looking over my shoulder. This drive me nutso at work, especially the people who decide to start pacing because they're bored or something and are actually *looking* over people's shoulders. *grumbles*
Another one is people who refuse to learn. I'll explain something once, then again. If I get to the third time and the person hasn't been listening and actually learned, then well, I start to get peeved.
So, I'm curious... drop me a comment -- what's your pet peeve??

Chairs that wobble every time you shift your weight are a distant second to the stupid human factor... How many times do I have to say "Don't touch my chair?" before I am totally justified in picking up my long-reach stapler and wacking the offender upside the head?
