I don’t complain that often, it’s just not my style. But sometimes I just have to get what’s bothering me off my chest! Maybe today is a good chance to talk about my pet peeves. Today, I’ll invent a little bit, I hope you don’t mind. Do you have any pet peeves? You know those things you often complain about, those things that don’t seem to go away, or those things that bug you over and over again. Like, people who talk on their cell phones at the movies’--that really irritates me! Or, people who don’t use their turn signals when they make a turn or change lings--what are they thinking! Or, you know what aggravates me? People who wear sunglasses in the subway--what’s up with that? Or, people who don’t wash their hands after they go to the bathroom--come on, guys! Or, litter bugs, just put your trash into trash can--how hard could that be?

Talk about it:

Do you have things that frequently bother you? Are there any pet peeves you can mention to your friends? What is a pet peeve? How do you react when someone bothers you? Do you complain a lot? Do you complain about big things or little things? What are some small things that bother you? How do you deal with your pet peeves? Do litter bugs bother you? What bothers you when people are driving?
