The Key to . . . Managing Pet Peeves

(Keep submitting questions, we’re bumping the interview back to next Tuesday! There’s just too much going on with me this week—check back Wednesday/Thursday for the details!)

This was written during my last class today—AP US Government. Yes, it’s that exciting!

Just a little thank you to all the kind and courteous people out there!

Thanks for:

  • Remembering that some people do no like (or are allergic) to the lotion that you put on, in a closed room. Your consideration saves us from a thousand sneezes over an hour and a half.
  • Not taking countless, loud drinks of water from a bottle that you insist on squeezing so that it cracks and pops every time you pick it up and put it down. Your consideration keeps me sane!

Now, five hours later, I can say I was overreacting a (wee) bit. It took a couple deep breaths and a few hugs from my favorite kids, but I’m back to the normal, pre-pet peeve stricken Hannah that graced 8th period Government today. Hoorah!!

What are your pet peeves and how do you manage them??

Mine?? The F- word! Can’t stand it!!!!!!!

  2. metal forks scraping on glass plates...it literally makes me want to cry. I hate big meals (thanksgiving) with relatives, because it is constant scraping. My phobia is so bad that I refuse to eat off of metal spoons...only plastic ones for me! : )

  3. Hey it's Samantha from From the Outside Looking In.
    Pet peeves eh?
    I HATE when people have their pants up too high. Like ehem chest area. One day my mom had her book club over and this one lady's skirt was up to her boobs no joke. I was pulling my OWN skirt down!
    - When there is fresh snow in my yard and someone walks through it. Makes me SO mad haha.

    I too hate the f-word. This girl behind me in French today was ON HER CELL PHONE-yes it class!!!- dropping the f-bomb like no one's business. The teacher didn't even seem to notice! I wanted to tell the teacher, but I didn't. IT was quite funny actually!
