Pet Peeve: 1/30/11

I chose my manager, Anna Kaye Browning, to interview for Pet Peeve 1/30/11. She was chosen due to being the most intolerant manager I have ever had. Anna Kaye is 22 and would definitely fall into the category of a perfectionist. Anna Kaye is currently in school as a cosmetologist, manager for Victoria's Secret, and cuts hair for Princeton.

Q: You have such a busy schedule, do you ever feel overwhelmed?
 Anna Kaye: Sometimes, but I like keeping busy.


Q: Would you consider yourself  a perfectionist?
 Anna Kaye: haha, do you have to ask? Yes of course.

 Q: Does it bother you when other people to not share the same point of view as you?
 Anna Kaye: Sometimes, but if someone doesn't want to do a job right than I rather just do it myself.
 


Q: "What would you say is your number 1 pet peeve?
 Anna Kaye: Messy people

 Q: Do you have a lot of messy people in your life?
 Anna Kaye: My sister and my boyfriend. My sister is my total opposite. She is lazy and leaves everything a mess.  
 
 Q: What about your boyfriend?
 Anna Kaye: He really isn't that messy. Sometimes I think he just does it to make  me mad, haha.


 Q: When did you realize you had such a problem with large messes?
 Anna Kaye: Probably when I got into middle school. When I was younger I was just as messy as other kids. When I got into middle school I started realizing how sloppy other people were.
 

 Q: Where do you think you found this tendency to be angry at messes?
 Anna Kaye: Definitely my mother. She would get so mad at us when we were younger for leaving the tiniest messes. I would say that I inherited her perfectionism.

 Q: Would you say that you have a lot of other pet peeves?
 Anna Kaye: Not really, I just do my best so I expect the same out of others.

 Q: Do you think you do anything to aggravate others?
Anna Kaye: No...I don't know, do I?
 

 The interview concluded with small talk about how careful she was to not get on others nerves. Anna Kaye is very aware of how she treats others. This is a personality trait I am sure most wish they had.

Pet peeve: 1/22/11


"That's my advise, take it or leave it".
This expression is missing a vital piece. It's fine to not take someone's advise, but do not return to that person after you have screwed your situation up from not listening to them from the beginning!. It's one thing to have someone impose you with their idea of what would be best for you, but when someone actively seeks advise and then chooses to ignore it is a huge pet peeve of mine.
So, if your going to ask for advise, ignore it, and worsen your situation, do not go crawling back to the very person that gave you the advise which you chose to ignore!

Introduction

Imagine yourself sitting in a movie theatre with your significant other, trying to enjoy the most inspiring film you've ever seen. This film could be life changing and completly transform your outlook on life. However the couple sitting behind you are oblivious to this and insist on kicking the back of your seat, and talking louder than the actors you payed $8.50 a piece to watch.
How do you handle a situation like this? Most people would politly move to another seat leaving the obnoxious couple to continue their complacent behavior.
My solution is bloging about every pet peeve I have encountered as an outlet for myself and others.
Everyone has a pet peeve so this is a great source for others to connect and complain.
Hope you find griping to be as thereputic as myself.
