As I was pondering how to approach number three, pet peeves, in the 30 Things About Me series, I came to the realization that I could go on and on about things that peeve, uhmm, I mean concern me. Some refer to these as pet peeves, what's up with the word, pet peeves anyway? Here's what I found, Urban dictionary defines peeves as: an irritating experience caused by others in which you cannot control. Wiki Answers defines pet peeves as: something that upsets your sensibilities to a higher degree than normal. Maybe I'm being a bit rebellious, but I have decided that I don't really like the phrase pet peeves, it sounds angry to me, like I have a right to even be peeved about anything, events, people, place.
I have decided to go with the word, concern. According to ARDictionary, concern is defined as: to relate or belong to; to have reference to or connection with; to affect the interest of ; to be of importance to. For example, when bubble gums loses it's flavor so quickly, that's a little more realistic to me.
Why Six, why not Five or Ten or more? Since I don't want this post to become a rant, all I can say is whats wrong with Six?
Things that Concern Me:
Top 6
- Saying mean things to each other, especially to children.
- Taking credit for something that you shouldn't be taking credit for.
- Anything or anyone that is all negative, all the time. I don't think I need to give much explanation to that.
- Cursing...if you have even the smallest grasp of a language there is no need for cursing.
- Going along with the status quo.
- Lack of commitment to follow through, don't stop trying. Who knows something amazing could be waiting for you at the end!
