Friday Five: Pet Peeve Edition
1. Grammatical pet peeve
The mixing-up of their/there/they're. There are three words, and they're different in their meaning, see?
2. Household pet peeve
Probably a tie between leaving cupboard doors open and leaving wet towels on the floor.
3. Arts & Entertainment pet peeve (movie theaters, restaurants, concerts)
Why, when a movie plot is set outside of North America, are the characters' accents usually some "squishy European of indeterminate origin"? Hate that!
4. Liturgical pet peeve
Applause. This is a very different thing from spontaneous praise. If you don't know the difference, you are applauding.
5. Wild card--pet peeve that doesn't fit any of the above categories
It's not original, but I HATE the sustained turn signal on the car in front of me on the freeway, seven miles after the driver made the lane change.
Bonus: Because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God: What do YOU do that others might consider a pet peeve?
Probably announcing a blog break, then sneaking back in a mere three days later. What can I say? Sometimes I get over myself quickly!
