Don’t Peeve Me Off, Mandingo

Name your top three pet peeves.

By Tracy Schruder

My three top pet peeves are

1. That people have pet peeves:

I mean, you’d have to be hanging on to some sort of inconceivable payoff, to let an annoyance last for more than 12 minutes because after that the body stops producing the hormones associated with that emotion and if you stay annoyed for any amount of time after that, it’s self created.

2. That some people can’t get over themselves:

That some people believe they are entitled to the peeve and reserve the right to their resentment, doing more harm to themselves in the long run. (Letting go is the key to overcoming!)

3. That some people actually complain about things that they can’t control. :

We can never ever change the things we can’t control by complaining about them. Frustration will only build for the lack of a satisfying solution.

Conclusion

My advice, for whatever it’s worth is “don’t let the small stuff take up big time. Annoying things don’t deserve a pinch of coon poop. My favourite mantra for dealing with this in the title on this post “Don’t peeve me off, mandingo!” It makes me laugh- for some reason and things don’t seem so ‘peevey’ afterwards.
