Riddle Me This............

 

Every one of us has at least one or does at least one, knowingly or unknowingly. Why does he have to cut both ends of the milk bag? Why does she have to unplug the toaster before we leave the house? Why does my daughter use the word “like” 14 times in a sentence?

 

One of the biggest ones is when people don’t signal a lane change…..so what’s your pet peeve? Did you know that the term “pet peeve” originated in the 14th century? Peeve, from the word “peevish” means ornery or ill-tempered and “pet peeve” was introduced sometime in the early 18th century. The word “pet” was added in the sense of the word “favourite” which loosely translates to the “favourite annoyance”.  And now, you know something you didn’t, when you woke up this morning.
