These Peeve Matt

I just found a bunch of differing definitions of "pet peeve" on my Google search.  Many of them use the same words, just in different tones and tenses.

My favorite of the multitude of choices?  This one:

A pet peeve is a behavior or display that generates slight annoyance in people. They aren’t things that are so inappropriate and rude that they necessarily warrant taking action, but they’re generally bothersome in a way that will make you roll your eyes in frustration.

Yeah, that's an excellent way to say it!

You wanna know what some of my pet peeves are?
