The little things in life that drive people crazy

Everybody has something that just gets on their nerves. When somebody cracks their knuckles and you just feel angry or annoyed. When somebody makes that annoying popping sound with their gum and you feel like you are going to go on a murder spree. These are referred to as pet peeves. Pet peeves are things that people do that for some irrational reason just drive you crazy.

Sheryse Anscombe is a junior and business major at Frostburg State University whose hometown is Bronx, NY. Her biggest pet peeve is people who get out of the shower and wet up the floor. "There's a mat right there, use it!", she exclaims as she explains her frustration. Another one of her pet peeves is students who do not come to class on time. There are probably a lot of teachers at Frostburg who share that pet peeve. Greg Hill is a business major and senior at Frostburg from Largo, MD. When asked about his pet peeves he yells "slow a** drivers". He goes on to say "that's the most annoying s*** in the world [and] it makes me mad." Everybody has a pet peeve even if they aren't aware of it. When Chris Inskeep, a marketing major and junior from Baltimore, was asked about his pet peeves he had to really think about what annoys him. After much thought he decided, people that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. He goes on to say "that s*** makes me mad." That's a pet peeve, many people should share.

Pet peeves are just the little things people do that seem to affect you more than the average person. Thinking about your own pet peeves can be a fun and interesting way to learn more about yourself. So, what are your pet peeves?
