Pet Peeves

Today's topic is pet peeves. For those that don't know, pet peeves are little objects or actions that irritate you. As I have lived my 18 years of life, I have accumulated four main pet peeves.

The first pet peeve that I have has to deal with notebook paper. Let’s say that a friend asks for some paper, and you have a spiral notebook with preferred edges. I would try to avoid having to tear paper out of my notebook. I hate tearing paper out of my notebook because in high school I would often run a few pages short towards the end of the year due to my constant removal of paper. Then I would have to go out and buy a new notebook, just to use the first few pages.

My second pet peeve is when people lay in my bed for a long time, and when I want to go lay down, it contains this awkward body warmth that is not mine. I don’t mind it when people lay in bed, but when it’s right before I want to sleep and its all warm, no me gusta.

My third pet peeve is when people correct me on the smallest mistakes when I’m talking. Grammar corrections, I don’t mind because I need to use correct grammar anyway, but the ones about numbers. For Example, One day I went to walmart with some of my friends and I saw this awesome shirt for $8.99. I ended up buying it and taking it back to the dorm to show my roommate. My roommate asked me how much I got it for, and I told him 10 bucks. Then out of nowhere my friend goes, “No, he got it for 9.” For me, I feel like this is the most unnecessary time to correct someone. Do you really care if I was a 50 cents off? But anyways that’s my number 3.

The last and final pet peeve that I have is when people talk about a subject as if they know everything about it, but its obvious that they really don’t. An example would be a person who has never kept up with the NBA, but they try to argue with me on information on teams and players. I am a HUGE NBA fan; in fact I probably check nba.com more often than my facebook.

So, that’s it. I hope you guys don’t think I’m weird.
