What Drives Me Batty!

My sister M told me a funny story a couple of weeks ago. She woke up in the middle of the night, and her husband was breathing loudly. She nugged him and asked him to stop breathing so loud. His response:

“You want me to stop breathing….something I need to do to live?”

Everybody has pet peeves. Whether it’s someone else breathing loudly or smacking their chewing gum, we all have those things that we find particularly annoying.

When you start dating someone, you don’t see any of those pet peeves right away. As the dating progresses and you spend more time together, pet peeves tend to creep into relationships.

J and I have pet peeves about one another. I think his main pet peeve with me, is that I have road rage. I use my horn and I tend to use words that a lady should never say. I’m working on this, and I’m happy to report I’ve gotten better in the past couple of months.

My main pet peeve with J, is this:


I HATE when dishes are stacked in the sink—or directly next to the dishwasher. It makes no sense to me. If you’re making an effort to bring the dish into the kitchen, why not put it in its proper place? J’s definitely getting better at putting his dishes in the dishwasher, but there’s the occasional glass of water that stays next to the sink for a day or two.

I’m sure throughout our marriage, J and I will develop more pet peeves about one another—and guess what? It's completely normal!

That's one of my peeves about my bf too! Yes, at first it didn't bug me. And then it kept occurring! and I hate dirty kitchens, so I would be the one cleaning it. Until, I got to a point where I didn't want to do it n e more. But now, I don't know what to do: it bugs me to leave it dirty, but I don't want to let him take advantage of the fact that I'll clean the dishes every time I'm there.
