My dictionary calls one a “particular personal vexation”.
It’s something from which I’d enjoy a ………permanent vacation.
It’s an act or condition which, though ‘small’, does bother ME, ……
like not putting down the toilet seat …after you pee;
like wiping YOUR nose on M Y sleeve, when you’ve a sleeve of your own;
like serving “boneless” chicken to me, in which I find a bone;
like not licking a fork clean of mustard or, worse yet, ….
of butter,
and THEN tossing in MY sink. THAT does make my heart flutter ………………………………………………………
……….in exasperation!
It’s like telling me I said one thing, when I said another.
[Well, T H A T one may be “BIG”, not small; let’s ask my mother.
Ok, my mom ain’t around anymore, so you can ask me.
If I said “Yes” and you heard “No”, that is B I G. You agree?
Well those are my pet peeves from “off the top of my head”.
And they’ll most likely be my pet peeves …until the time I am dead.
