Like the title says, it’s time (TGIF) for The Friday Five<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why?<\/b> My biggest <\/i>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<\/i>, for heaven’s sake.<\/p>\n

2. What irritating habits do you have?<\/b> Moi? Irritating habits? I don’t know what you mean.<\/p>\n

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 <\/i>uncaring, insensitive, sloppy people.<\/p>\n

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be?<\/b> Love me, love my irritating habits.<\/p>\n

I try not to correct people as much as I used to. No more than three or four times in a conversation. <\/p>\n

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why?<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do?<\/b> Two words. Body. Piercings.<\/p>\n

I could possibly see myself getting an earring, if I ever took a mind to it. But elsewhere? {Shudders violently.}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
