what i learned about myself today

i think of these randomly as they annoy me
but always forget them when people are trying to make conversation

my pet peeves:
interoffice e-mail signatures
miss-pronounced words
food on someone's mouth or lips that they don't know is still there
boogers in people's noses that you can see
loud chewers (esp with mouths open)
assumers
rude people
(and this is where i draw a blank)

A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that can instill great frustration in a very small group of people, yet is experienced by everyone. It also must be insignificant, so people insulting you is not a pet peeve. For example, if you find that elevator doors closing before you can get in annoys you, but does not annoy all the people around you, it is a pet peeve, as it meets all three criteria: insignificant, experienced by all, and only you and a few others are annoyed by it.
