Pet Peeves
What is Pet Peeve? According to Wikipedia pet peeves or pet hate is minor annoyance that an individual identifies more particularly annoying to them self, to a greater degree than other may find. We have different pet peeves that we usually experienced in our life, like people who have bad manners, poor personal hygiene, and bad affair to families, friends and other people. People have experienced pet peeves it depends on their situations like being a parent, being a teacher and being a boy or a girl.
For me being a girl and a teenager, it is important to have a good personal hygiene to myself in order to have a good health and it is important to look nicely to other people. My pet peeve is that when other people have poor personal hygiene in their self and in other places or things. Based on my experienced and on what I see in my daily activity some people have poor personal hygiene like, I smell some people who have body odors and bad breathe especially when they will come near to me and talk to me or they will sit beside me. I just say to myself that “oh my goodness” and that feeling that I almost vomit because of their smell or odor but I just bare them especially when I ride in a bus. There are some poor personal hygiene as if , some of my classmates or friends is when I saw their fingers nails dirty and they just bite or they just eat their foods without washing their hands and they just went from the restroom. I usually say it to myself that “eewww that’s nasty”. I asked myself that, do they not fall into ill because of their poor personal hygiene? So what I just do to myself just to prevent from ill and just to have a good health is to have practice good personal hygiene and I always bring a sanitizer and some wipes or tissue in case there’s tissue on the public restroom.
I usually noticed my parents hates people who have a bad manners or disrespectful especially to the children. The pet peeve of my parents is when people are disrespectful especially to the children that have bad manners. My parents do their best to become responsible and good enough parents to us and teach us good manners. Sometimes when we go out with my family, we saw some parents showed certain bad manners to their children, whereas their children can imitate them. We saw some parents when they scolded their children they say some bad words like “f*ck,sh*t” etc.. After that , when the children will make some trouble to their classmates they will do the same as their parents did to them. Perhaps when their children grow what they will do to their parents if they will not able to give the wish of their children, their children will tell some bad words to his/her parents. Other bad manners are when they eat in front of the television or they will eat at their living which shows that they don’t respect their food, because food should be eaten at the dining table with the whole family. It is important to have good manners in other people not only to other people but also to everything, so that small children can imitate good manners to the one who are older to them. So that when the children grown, they have good manners and good behavior and they will proudly tell to other people that their parents taught them good manners.
I’m a student and I often saw my teachers get mad when students are not listening to them and students are talking to each other while the teacher is talking in front of the class. The pet peeve of some teachers is when students do not listen to them. I understand why teachers get mad to students who are not listening wherefore it shows disrespectful to the teachers and there’s no shame to the students. As I know teachers should be respect and treat with reverence because they have more knowledge that’s why they called teachers because they are the one who teach to the students that’s why teachers should be follow and obey their rules. I appreciate how teachers teach to the students, they need to talk loud so that students may hear him/her, they need to talk clearly in order that the students understand what the teacher’s talking about. After all those things, students are not listening to his/her teacher. Teachers doing their best to teach their students and to understand the lesson, students should always listen to his/her teacher when it comes to their lesson because they just doing this for the sake of their students so that they will not get low scores in their test and may not failed to their grades. Teachers don’t want to fail students but the students are the one who make it. In order not to be failed students should always pay attention and listen to the teacher.
Nowadays, many people especially students are mostly often do bullying to the certain genders. Certain genders pet peeve is bullying. Most people do bully to their friends, classmates especially to those have disability or those powerless people or weak people in order to give themselves power since they are powerless. Like they tease them, some people do bully just to get some money to the powerless person because they make agreement to each other. And other victims of bullying are the gays because gay have a soft heart like girls, sometimes the people who have power do the same to the gays. The people who have power to do bullying in other people will not only steal money and things but also they make gossiping, threats, name calling, lies, mean words, embarrassment, and harassment. Bullying may cause to suicide due to the depression of the powerless people. In order to avoid bullying people who are powerless should complain to the teacher or they should tell to their parents so that bullying will not happen.
The solution to that pet peeve of me is to practice good personal hygiene. If my friends don’t have a good personal hygiene, I should tell them to practice a good personal hygiene so that they will avoid some ill causes by poor personal hygiene. The solution of the pet peeve of my parents is to have good manners in everything especially to our foods and in our attitudes. Parents should not spoke bad words to their children, parents should be the role model to their children and children must obey and respect their parents. In order to solve the pet peeve of teachers, students should always listen to the teacher and avoid talking to others while the teacher is talking in front of the class. Students should respect teachers and obey their rules, and teachers should also respect students. The solution to the pet peeve of certain genders they should stop bullying to the people who have disabilities and to the powerless people and not only them but also to other people. My message to those who are victims in bullying stand up and speak out and to those who do bullying pulling someone down will never help you reach the top.
