Friday Five

Like the title says, it’s time (TGIF) for The Friday Five.

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why? My biggest pet peeve? Yeesh. I hate it when people don’t refill the coffee pot at work. C’mon guys, I’ve timed it — it’s a thirty second task. Be polite, for heaven’s sake.

2. What irritating habits do you have? Moi? Irritating habits? I don’t know what you mean.

Hmmm. Worse I can think of is that I sometimes (often) correct others pronounciation, grammar, and spelling. Of course, that means my present job is perfect, but it’s probably mildly irksome, to some uncaring, insensitive, sloppy people.

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be? Love me, love my irritating habits.

I try not to correct people as much as I used to. No more than three or four times in a conversation.

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why? Well, from a purely aesthetic standpoint (vs. grossing out with a moral aspect as well), probably raw tomato. They make me gag. Bananas and avocado are right in there, too, but not quite so much.

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do? Two words. Body. Piercings.

I could possibly see myself getting an earring, if I ever took a mind to it. But elsewhere? {Shudders violently.}
