Pet peeves are behaviors that "push a button", and gets the "peeved" person feeling irritated, upset, and even angry. Quite often, it doesn't bother anyone else, except for the one who is bothered.

Is there something that really gets on your nerves, like watching someone scratch themselves, or seeing a classmate chew on a pencil, or hearing your little brother making weird sounds at the dinner table? You get the picture. Now write about it.

Share some crazy behaviors that really irritate you. Is there anything you do that drives another person mad? Sometimes we're only bothered when a certain person does a particular behavior, but don't care at all when someone else does the same exact thing, why is that?

Let's hear about your "pet peeves".
