Or "All's she said was X."<BR/><BR/>2. Household pet peeve<BR/>No other than pulling long hairs out of the shower drain grate!<BR/><BR/>3. Arts & Entertainment pet peeve (movie theaters, restaurants, concerts):<BR/>Nightclub cover charges that dwarf all others in a not-so-hot city. For example, most covers in Portand (OR) don't exceed $10. But there's one "trendy" one that's $20. I'm thinking, $20 cover to a club in Portland? Maybe NYC or LA, or even Atlanta, but Portland?? Not worth it if all it is is to be "seen." Club attire here don't emphasize individual style, just some version of the camisole top found at every stunkin' mall in the US. At least in NYC's intimidating club scene, you can find some hot vintage and people with "real" clout.<BR/><BR/>4. Liturgical pet peeve<BR/>When the Archbishop's appeal or any fundraising message is used as the homily.<BR/><BR/>5. Wild card — pet peeve that doesn't fit any of the above categories<BR/>Em, I got pulled over once for doing your pet peeve on this one!! Only because it was night and I happened to drive in front of a cop car while I was on my way to the far lane....Anyway, a pet peeve is when people make a statement but sound like they are asking a question by making their voice higher at the end. It sounds so shallow. Ex: I had the wierdest thing happen yesterday? I was driving and when I came to a red light, the guy in front of backed up and almost bumped into me? And when he got out, I recognized him from high school?<BR/><BR/>Bonus: Because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God: What do YOU do that others might consider a pet peeve?<BR/>Making loud sounds when I chew my gumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1153142078760395772006-07-17T08:14:00.000-05:002006-07-17T08:14:00.000-05:00No other big pet peeves to add... but, I wanted to...No other big pet peeves to add... but, I wanted to let you know that I've been able to fart and burp louder than husband since our college days.

Liturgical pet peeve<BR/>When the organ in the back of the church cannot stay synchronized with the choral voices in the front of the church, my hair stands on end.<BR/> <BR/>Does your church choir have a director that conducts? This is very difficult to keep in sync when the organ and vocalists are so far apart. For them to be TOGETHER, both have to watch a conductor. If not, then the organist has to "think" and play slightly ahead of the vocalists. No easy task. It all has to do with the speed of sound and the ability of the organist and choir members to sync up to the notion! <BR/><BR/>Spoken from one who has been the organist AND the choir member.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279097751133383753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-1152933380495762082006-07-14T22:16:00.000-05:002006-07-14T22:16:00.000-05:00Emilie, I think you get a break on those things wh...Emilie, I think you get a break on those things when you are pregnant!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.com
