Peevish Friday Five

from the NotShyChiRev

1. Grammatical pet peeve
Using "I" as the object in a sentence. "Mom gave that to my sister and I" for example. Drives me insane. Would you say "...to I?" Well, some people might, at that.
2. Household pet peeve
Things don't stay clean! How annoying.

Seriously, there are times when it would be nice to live alone, since things would stay where I left them!

I hope ya'll see the ironic connection between those two things...!
3. Arts & Entertainment pet peeve (movie theaters, restaurants, concerts)
Pissy grownups who have forgotten being obnoxious kids. I used to get all kinds of dirty looks while out in public when Sparky was little if he so much as made a peep. Believe me, he was not ill-behaved, but sometimes 3-year-olds will cry/whine/fret/scream.... Get over it. I'm doing the best I freakin' can with this pre-adult!
4. Liturgical pet peeve
Uhm...slow hymns. We aren't at a funeral!!
5. Wild card--pet peeve that doesn't fit any of the above categories
My theme this week: mean people, people who spray vituperativity (?) as if they are skunks.
Bonus: Because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God:What do YOU do that others might consider a pet peeve?
I tend to (pre-)judge a bit harshly, and emotionally.
Ahem.
