Juniors sound off about ‘pet peeves’

Everyone gets annoyed. It’s a universal experience. But it seems that we are all annoyed by different things. Recently, the juniors had the opportunity to share their pet peeves with the world in an informal survey (see pie chart for results).
The two annoyances students seemed to want to discuss the most were people using incorrect grammar and people chewing with their mouths open. The grammar one may seem surprising, but it appears that by the junior year, students claim they are thinking more about using standard English and how “redneck” students from Northwestern Pennsylvania sometimes sound.
Some of the stranger pet peeves included students tapping their pencils on the desk, when people don’t use turn signals, and something simple like students talking loudly. If you would like to see the most complete list of pet peeves in the world, visit www.getannoyed.com.
