Kenzie Edmondson, Introduction to Journalism
If you cringe at the sound of nails on a chalk board, the one kid at lunch who chews with their mouth open, or the person sitting next to you who won’t stop tapping their pencil, then you have made your list of pet peeves like many students at CCHS.
“I cannot stand when my sister leaves the cap off the toothpaste,” sophomore Mckenzie Schmidt said. “It is disgusting.”
“I hate when people squeeze the toothpaste from the middle instead of the top or the bottom,” junior Lukas Poloncic said.
“It irritates me when people don’t flush the toilet,” sophomore Zachary Donahoo said. “It really grosses me out.”
Pet peeves can be found in the bathroom or the lunch table.
“My biggest pet peeve is when people smack their food,” junior Cole Petty said. “Sometimes I have to plug my ears.”
“People always chew with their mouth open or talk with food in their mouths,” sophomore Rachel Williams said. “I think they do it on purpose just to make me mad.”
Phone etiquette is also an area where pet peeves are the most annoying.
“I hate when someone calls me and then I try to call them back and they don’t answer,” said junior Andrew Kaufman. “Playing phone tag is annoying.”
“A pet peeve on my list is when people text and drive,” Petty added.
“When I text someone and they don’t reply, it really annoys me,” junior Brooklyn Schwab said. “Especially when it is important.
Liar liar pants on fire?
“I hate when people say something bad about a person and then act like they are best friends when they see each other,” senior Dylan Brannan said.
“I get really annoyed when people lie to me,” Williams added. “It is pointless.”
“The one thing that annoys me the most is when students lie to me,” Spanish teacher Chris Baity said. “It is extremely disrespectful.”
For some students at CCHS, their pet peeves gross them out.
“It is so gross and rude when people burp out loud,” said junior Alex Guicho. “Especially girls because they are supposed to be pretty and polite.”
“It makes me mad when I walk into the bathroom and someone has urinated all over the toilet,” added Poloncic. “Some guys need to work on their aim.”
If students at CCHS took a look in the mirror, they might realize they are on the list of someone’s pet peeves. So unless you are looking to be smacked in the lunch line, or beat up with the toothpaste, you might want to be aware of your own bad and annoying habits.
