It’s all about the little things. Good and bad ... A special rose from a special someone, brownies on a Sunday evening, a laugh shared over an inside joke. The fact that your roommates leave their clothes all over the apartment like a snake shedding its skin; wearing cold, wet socks; having to deal with insane morning people. Yep, it’s all about the little things that can be really irritating, that get under your skin and make you cringe; they are the pet peeves of life. Scroll asked a few students about their pet peeves and here is what they said.

Pet Peeve (pet pev) n.

A minor annoyance that can instill extreme frustration in an individual.

The term originated from the word “peeve.” A “peeve,” meaning something that is particularly irritation or annoying, is a relatively recent word. Its first printed usage was in 1911. The term is derived, however, from a 14th centry word, “peevish,” meaning ornery or ill tempered.

"My biggest pet peeve is gum on the sidewalk, because it’s on your shoe forever and you can never get rid of it." -Jessica Smith, Freshman, Ashton, Idaho

"Kids who make too many comments in class and just seem to know everything about everything."-Landon Sullivan, Junior, Stephenville, Texas
