Pet Peeves!!!




We all have "pet peeves" or things that really bug and annoy us.  A pet peeve is when someone, something, or an action is done that really irritates you.  Pet Peeves can be different for everybody.  My major pet peeve is when people constantly interrupt me or blurt out while I am talking.  That bothers me because first it is rude and second it interrupts my train of thought.  So get on your soapbox and tell us your pet peeve and why it annoys you.  Write about five to seven complete sentences using the correct capitalization and punctuation.
