I am glad you said that, I would get so mad if someone treated Eddy that way. But no one has yet:)

[bettyboopfan]

It just aggravates me because my brother-in-law is blind and people stare everytime we go out to eat or where ever.

I always whisper to the people that are staring...."just because he can't see you staring doesn't mean I can't". They usually stop then. :D

For me it's:
(1) People who don't wash their hands after visiting the bathroom.
(2) Bigots of any kind...If i don't like someone it's because of their personality.NOT their race,culture,or religion.
(3) Dog owners who don't clean up after their pets.But never let them foul their own lawn.
(4) People who abuse children,in my opinion they are the lowest of the low :mad:
(5) The way nobody ever says please and thank you any more.Manners cost nothing and a little civility is always nice.

Is that 5 already :confused: i could gripe all night :rolleyes:

Austin is little and has an excuse... what drives me nuts are news broadcasters and professional people who use the letter O for the number zero. I see it on tv all the time and I hear people do it constantly with phone numbers, tv commercials, etc.

:o I think i will start using headphones.....Just in case! :eek:

[Bikerbettyboop]

hahahahah... good one Scot........ I would have to use them too if I had someone around who liked to play that music loud... or maybe it's called ear muffs instead of headphones? HA... LOL.......

[Boopfan713]

I have a few pet peeves. I could go on and on but will limit it to five.
1 - Cell Phones when you are at a ballgame, play, movie, etcetera. Silence is Golden. General use of cell phones is annoying too but not nearly as much.
2 - Cell phones used while people are driving. Not just annoying. It is very dangerous. As the bumper sticker says..... Hang up and drive
3 - Aggressive Drivers
4 - The phrase "No Problem" when substituted for "You're Welcome" I found myself using this phrase once but it is still annoying.
5 - The phrase "Very Unique" when used by a professional TV or Radio person. Unique is one of a kind "very" is redundant.
I must admit to saying the letter O as a zero. I saw David Letterman rant about this. O is not a number, O is a letter, Zero is a number. I admitted he was correct and I am trying to change my ways.

[bettyboopfan]

Cell phones tend to be a pet peeve of mine too!!

BTW:

My mom has a poohuahua and her name is Peeve.
When she was a puppy she was so annoying I named her Peeve.
She is our pet peeve!! LOL!!

[BoopGR]

Any one hate it when someone puts the toliet paper the opposite way than you do!? I have people do it to me all the time. I like it better when it is over the top not under it:) Of course I am going to have to Hide it soon hehe someone is going to get to it:)

[Neckless]

But...I keep my tissue in a basket...4 rolls<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZSXXXXXX43US' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_16_38.gif' alt='Easter Basket' border=0></a> are stacked inside the basket shaped like the figure eight with a big handle on it. It sits on the tank top of my toilet. It's best to grab a roll on your way down!

[bettyboopfan]

I don't care how it comes off the roll as long as it just comes off and does its job!! :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

hahah... all this talk about toilet tissue paper is making me laugh.. but I do have to admit that it is one of my pet peeves... #1 when it's on backwards and #2 when the roll is not replaced when it's empty!

My sis has two new kittens and they keep shredding and unrolling her rolls of tp!! LOL!

[Neckless]

Kittys are always so playful!!

[bettyboopfan]

They love to get into trouble!!
But they are so cute!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Here's another one I want to add to my pet peeve list... people who abuse Betty Boop's image!

Hoo-d-hoo!

grinding of that nature ...is annoying!

my yard man...grinds away at his teeth! i told him, "it's just a miracle that you have any porcelain left on your teeth"...or that he has teeth for that matter!

[Bikerbettyboop]

BBooper does your cat grind when she is awake or sleeping? It could be a problem that might require a vet's attention. Hope she's ok.

[Neckless]

I'm wondering why it is called a "pet peeve"?

[Neckless]

why is it called a "pet peeve"?

[Bikerbettyboop]

hmmmm..... good question... someone might say that one of their pet peeves is using the word pet in front of peeve!! HHAHAHA~!

[bettyboopfan]

: What is the meaning and origin of the phrase "pet peeve?"

A "peeve" is something that annoys or irritates you, and since irritation is a highly individual emotion, one's "peeve" mileage may vary from one's neighbor's.

For a word that expresses a universal (one presumes) human emotion, "peeve" is a remarkably recent coinage, first appearing in print as a verb only in 1908 and a noun (the thing that peeves) in 1911. Both "peeves," however, arose as what linguists call "back-formations" of the much older term "peevish," meaning "ill-tempered," that first appeared in the late 14th century. Back-formations, the derivation of a "root" word from a more complex form, are common in English -- the verb "to sculpt," for instance, was formed from the much older word "sculptor."

The precise derivation of "peevish" is uncertain, but it may be related to the Latin "perversus," meaning "reversed, perverse." The original meaning of "peevish" was simply "silly or foolish," but by about 1530 it had acquired the sense of "irritable, ill-tempered or fretful." Surprisingly, it then took several hundred years to develop "peeve" as the word for the irritating agent or action. "Pet peeve," meaning the one thing that annoys you more than anything else, first appeared around 1919. The "pet" (in the sense of "favorite") formulation probably owes its popularity and longevity to its mild perversity ("favorite annoyance" is a bit oxymoronic) as well as its snappy alliteration.

[Msjack82]

My five most annoying pet peeves are
1.smoking in the car
2.astrays around me while I'm eating
3.using the bathroom with the door open
4.spitting
5.coughing/sneezing without covering your mouth:eek:

[Neckless]

My five most annoying pet peeves are:

1. People who cough and sneeze in their hands
(and while in restaurants and other publics)
2. A person who passes gas in a roomful of people
3. People who drive close in your rear
4. Disrespectful children
5. A drunkard

Pet PEeves!! I wonder why it is called that. I might have asked this quessie before.

I can't stand for people to **** their teeth!!

[bettyboopfan]

I wonder why it is called that. I might have asked this quessie before.

The term originated from the word "peeve". A "peeve," meaning something that is particularly irritating or annoying, is a relatively recent word. Its first printed usage was in 1911. The term is derived, however, from a 14th-century word -- "peevish," meaning ornery or ill-tempered.

The modified term "pet peeve," a uniquely personal irritant, first appeared in print in 1919.
