Topic: Pet Peeves

My biggest pet peeve is when people use the phrase "pet peeve" not really, but where the heck did the phrase come from?

Back in the 1600s, a British noblewoman owned a cat named "Peeves." The cat was pampered and undisciplined, and would break things, and the woman would occasionally refer to the antics of "my pet Peeves" in a sort of gently annoyed manner. The phrase caught on and is still in use today. And now you know....the rest of the story.

My pet peeve started where I work. People sitting on the table after sitting on the floor and after sitting on the bench or stool where their feet has been. It is hard enough trying to get them to clean up after themselves and with the place full of staff infections, without them sitting on the table. Who wants to eat off of someone's butt. I tell them it is disrespectful of everyone in the cell block.

Well then wash your hands after you go to the bathroom and wear rubber gloves in public and you won't have urine on your door knobs. Sorry, just trying to help. Gee, your kinda short there, didn't know you could reach door knobs.

Yea Nus, I hate when that happens!

That's been on my mind since yesterday. How? Isn't that like pissing up a rope?

Can I watch?

Nus, you can avoid that problem by taking the door knobs out of the toilet.

Can YOU piss up a rope?

Marie55 Joined Wed 08/30/06 Posts: 7007	Sat 04/14/07 08:07 PM
Only if you put the rope in the toilet, sorry.

No, but I can piss off a goat.
