Since we are sharing peeves, my pet peeve of the moment is people who unilaterally change deadlines and then don't bother to share that with anyone else. Or share with some people and not with others.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Another pet peeve. People who cherry pick what they want to work on. Your job includes x, y, and z. You can't ignore z just cause you like x and y better.

Work pet peeve? The fact that they might layoff 5,000 teachers/librarians/school nurses and still give us a 12% paycut on top of the 5 furlough days we are getting this year (just announced) and the 7 furlough days next year.
iSearch is actually pretty fun. Or it can be. 40 pages is about right, but it should include more than just expository writing.

Best part of my job? Spring break and I got a pedicure today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure that's not actually a peeve.

Well, it's the thing I'm most upset by. 5,000 people would be like laying off all of JPL.

Compassionately intolerant
The only help I ever remember getting in school was grueling spelling quizzes. They served me well, in the end, but were fairly death-march-like.
What is your current stupid pet peeve about your job?Clients who know that they pay in 4 session increments but who do not look at the calendar to accommodate for the 5 week months. I don't like having to remind them. Must find a fun way to do this...or at least a preemptive one.

Wait! In 4th grade my mother helped me learn all the State Capitals. I still remember that Frankfurt is the capital of Kentucky because they sell frankfurters at the Kentucky Derby!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

And this, my friends, is why you should never talk on your phone in the bathroom. (Gross but hilarious)

Yeah, I'm saying it's Actual Badness.
