Pet Peeve Tuesday
Venting is good for the soul.
Edited
When I was a kid, learning English as a second language, I had a really hard time with the term "pet peeve." No matter how much people explained it to me, I just didn't get it. I guess you could say it was a pet peeve of mine that I didn't get it. But, suddenly, one day, I guess it just clicked.
A pet peeve simply means a particular personal vexation. Something you find yourself often annoyed by. That's why the term "pet" is used, because its personal. It's something that affects you but not necessarily everyone else.
The rules are simple. There are many things that drive us crazy and often times we have no recourse. Pet Peeve Tuesday is your chance to let out your pet peeves. Who knows, someone else might share your peeve?!
Pet Peeve Tuesday is here at MommyWizdom every Tuesday!

Thanks for sharing your pet peeves!
A pet peeve of mine is the use of the words "ATM machine." A-T-M is an acronym for Automated Teller Machine so when people say they're going to the ATM machine they're saying they're going to the automated teller machine machine. Hello!
See, that was liberating - now I feel much better! Now you try!
My hubby is in entertainment (show business) When he gets together with others like him I have no idea what they are talking about they abbreviate everything. It makes me nuts
