Discuss this Story on the NU News Message Board. I have a lot of pet peeves. I have always been irritated by smokers who don't seem to realize that I don't want a lungful of cigarette smoke in my face.
Car alarms are up there on the list, too, with girls who wear makeup to the gym.
But the latest and the grandest of all pet peeves is this wonderful invention called the cell phone. I really don't hate them all that much. I had one at home for the many times my 1980 Subaru GL station wagon stalled on the highway. It was great when I stayed out late and needed to give my parents peace of mind, and when you're late for work, they perform miracles. Where you don't need a cell phone, is in the library.
