Pet Peeves

[MizPeg]

"Fine tooth-comb."

As in "picky, picky?"            

[Tcvancoops]

People being late

Teeth snapping, like that "tsk" sound when annoyed.

Trying to convince me I'm wrong when the other person knows I'm right

No, that's not it.

Just teasing you by telling you that your pet peeve was wrong.

Don't you start.

My current pet peeve is getting involved in threads that have nothing to do with me....

Hmmmm, there I go again. ;)

How about when such a thread has yet to mention beards

Out in service when a group of brothers and sisters gather on the footpath and have long animated conversations. So embarrassing and disrespectful really to the work we are doing. I usually walk off and keep working if I can.

A car group including myself stopped for coffee. Since we were deliberately trying not to talk about anyone we met in service, we started getting silly, and I'm sure my giggling was bad, second only to the cobe (who was a punster, and I believe started the yuks.) His wife told us she was had been planning to place a tract with the cashier, but wouldn't after we had gotten so "animated." Point well taken. I have never gathered on a foot path, but will watch out for that.

I like that word "footpath". I haven't heard that used in conversation before and had to look it up. A very logical term.

I usually don't Pet Peeves - last time I did one tried to bite me. I have found that peeves don't really make good pets anyway ........

My cat gets peevish when I don't feed her.

 

Wait...

 

I thought this was the Peeved Pet thread. Sorry, my bad....

There is another pet peeve, illogical terms.

If flea powder kills fleas, why would I use baby powder on a baby?

[kejedo]

Pet peeve, itself,is an oxymoron, as is 'wicked good' which was heard frequently when I was in Maine (aka downeast). Which mathematician thought up "standard deviation"?

In Maine, people had a "door yard," which is whence we witnesses usually approached.

Thats a fun word too, but not one that really ever made sense to me. It always makes the craziest images come to mind when I hear it.

The dog powder I use is actually diatomaceous dirt, food grade.  I think the application of this peeves my small dog, but if it helps her, this summer, to ease the flea allergies, it will be worth the ground we walk on.  As I understand it, baby powder is not recommended for babies, but cornstarch powder is okay. I didn't use either when my sons were small. (Didn't need to: cloth diapers and ocd on changing them.)

Got reminded of this today.

When people use this symbol (< 3) when they're actually writing. Instead of putting the heart the right way on paper.

I guess one of mine would be mentioning or citing a scripture and not quoting it just assuming everyone else either knows it or making them look it up

People that read between the lines. They automatically think there is some hidden agenda in everything you say. 

I'm not that complicated, usually a question is just a question, not a hidden gem that is intended to lead you down a path of enlightenment.
