Seeing as 2014 will shortly be coming to a Spectacular close ... What has been your particular pet peeve, so far?
Mine used to be the particularly annoying property of small plastic objects, like pens or pen caps, to fall to the floor and always bounce to a stop just out of hand's reach.
Ha, all that is behind me! What has really annoyed me, so far this year, has been the way most people will say, "... and needless to say, ... " only to go right ahead and tell you what Is Needless To Say.

Good to hear you've moved on from bic fury! My last particular peeve was when people, right after a huge accomplishment or being awarded a prestigious prize, describe it as a "humbling" experience. No, no - I'm sorry overachiever, but that is almost the exact opposite of humbling. Meeting aliens with abilities beyond our comprehension and realising that you are but a drop in the ocean of an insignificant, puny collection of beings - that would be humbling. But having your achievements recognised and ego stroked is the complete opposite of humbling!!
phew...needless to say, it feels good to get that off my chest.

Well I really didn't have one, but it always sadden me on how many pregnant, and disrespectful teenagers nowadays! I'm 17, and I even see this huge change in our generation! It saddens me!
