Blog #46: Pet Peeves!

One of my biggest pet peeves are bad table manners. I cannot stand it when people have bad table manners; it drives me crazy. And what I mean by poor table manners are like chewing with your mouth open, talking with food in your mouth, eating food with your fingers, licking your fingers, and picking your teeth at the table. These things annoy me the most. I cannot be around someone who chews obnoxiously or chomps on his or her gum. I also cannot stand when someone slurps his or her food. My brother has really bad table manners. For example, he will slurp food that does not need to be slurped like cereal. He also will chew with his mouth open and even chomp on his gum. I know he does it to annoy me sometimes, but I just wish he would have better table manners. I also cannot stand it when I am out with people and a certain someone, I will not name names, picks their teeth with a straw. It is such a bad habit and is really hick. I always get embarrassed to be around people who have horrible table manners. I know mine are not perfect, like for instance I do not always keep my elbows off the table, but that is a minor thing. Another thing that I dislike is when my dad picks at my food and steals it off my plate when I am not finished! I know he does not mean any harm, so I let it slide because he is my dad! So those are some of my pet peeves!
