Hello Naija, happy new week.
This week the #hivenaija team has as usual and put together wonderful questions for the weekly prompt that we can relate to. The first question caught my attention as I have had both good and bad experiences with people who pisses me off with their actions. Although, as it is said, what one person likes or admires can be a turn off for another person. In view, I will share my pet peeves bother the funny and the irritating ones.
WHAT ARE PET PEEVES
Pet peeves are experiences we encounter in our daily lives that we find annoying or irritating. There are varieties of them but everyone with what they find annoying or irritating. Some pet peeves include,
- chewing gum out loud
- eating food noisily
- spitting about
- picking their noses
- biting fingernails
- scraping aluminum
- snort
SNORT
Snorting so loudly especially in public has to be one of my most annoying pet peeves ever and it's so common amongst all these local people. One time I experienced this was when I had to leave home very early in the morning, it was just getting bright outside at 6am,people were already coming out to do morning chores like sweep their compounds, brush their teeth prepare for school and all. Then I was passing by the house, then I heard when this young man, snorted so loudly like a Buffalo. forcing air so violently his nose with a rough harsh sound that was so loud and releaseing the huge lump of spit on the ground. It was so irritating and disgusting even the sound alone, that I had to experience that at such time of the day (early morning) because sometimes, whatever happens at the start of the day can have positive or negative effects on how the rest of the day will go.
There have been several instances because people seem to do it alot. But why not do it inside your house bathroom, they always choose to come out and do the act.
SPITTING ABOUT
People engage in activities unconsciously most time because they have gotten used to such bad habits. I mean some people cannot control themselves whenever anything goes into their mouth, they find a way to used their tongue to get stuffs out from between their teeth and spit them out, no matter where they find themselves.
One time this happen, she had forgotten herself and not that she was pregnant or anything but unconsciously. We just have a staff meeting and we're all relaxing after eating snacks of chin chin and biscuits with groundnuts. From behind, I felt spits spread by the breeze land on my neck. I shivered and turned back only for her to be apologizing already because she knew what she did. It was so annoying to feel another man's spit on your body,because of the remorseful act, I did not scold her but just cleaned up myself.
Not everyone is perfect but we can curtail these habits by doing them in your home but not in public, because some people will embarrass you and your generation if career is not taken.
Those are few of my pet peeves, thanks for stopping by my blog...
