I welcome you to my blog. We all have things that irritate us to our bone marrows, things that we are yet to master how to tolerate or hide how much they irritate us. There are certain things that irritated us but can still be done in front of us, and we will be good and ignore them, and then there are things that no matter how hard we try to hide them, we lose them and react, or our facial expression does the expressing for us and passes the message across, so it is left for those concerned to actually do the right thing. Pet peeves become more irritating when those with these habits or who exhibit these habits are proud of them and not willing to change or let them go.
We all have different pet peeves; the things that irritate us differ from one individual to another. There are things that irritate you that some people do comfortably and are very okay with, and there are some things you are comfortable with that others consider a pet peeve. I have an uncle who is comfortable with his mouth making sounds while he is eating and chewing loudly but does not tolerate soap on the wall after bathing; for some, like myself, both loud chewing and soap on the wall are pet peeves and are irritating. So there are things you might be comfortable with that others consider bad, and to be compatible, you must be willing to let go of what they consider bad.
What irritates you might be different from what irritates me, which means for us to be friends or have anything to do with each other, we all must be willing to make adjustments so that we can become compatible and can live peacefully and happily. There are people who do not care and will not want to make adjustments, they give you two options that are not fine by you and you are forced to add a third option.
There are people you will come across, and you are forced to let them go since they cannot adjust or make changes, and you, on the other hand, cannot tolerate it, and you are forced to make the friendship or relationship a thing of the past. I hate loud chewing; there are people who do it even in public and keep making sounds with their mouths. I had a friend in 100 level then, and he was so comfortable with it. We talked and talked, but he chose to keep doing it, and we had to part ways. He does it even in public and does not care about the attention he calls to us; we just couldn't take it anymore and distanced ourselves from it.
I have never had a relationship crash because of a pet peeve, but I have had a few friendships not work out because of pet peeves. Something you consider irritating some people are so proud of and will never want to hear you out, so instead of keeping them around and continuing to endure what actually irritates you, you just end it all, and you all move on with your lives.
