… just one more level

Most people have pet peeves – those little elements of the world that irrationally annoy you much more than they should.

Others can not logically deduce your pet peeves, and thus cannot avoid exposing you to them. That is, unless you tell them your pet peeves.

These are some of mine:

• Easily avoidable spelling mistakes
• Not closing the bathroom door while using the facilities
• Sticky instruments (keyboards, door handles, forks)
• Misuse of the term ergo
• Overuse of smileys
• Low quality audio (either from bad hardware or lossy compression)
• The phrase “never mind” when used in any way but positively
• Pressure applied to rotating office chairs while I am sitting in them
• Snoring
• Excessive coughing and/or sneezing without covering the mouth

I will further populate this list as I see fit.
