I begin each morning by checking my email. Today I had five (5) more unsolicited emails, three from politically-focused entities trying to tell me how to think and two from a financial blog telling me how to invest my dwindling funds. Oh, and then there are the additional emails hawking their products simply because I have shopped at their store or online.
I could go on and list more of my peeves. I bet we all have lots of them. Many, many niggling irritations!
Just for the heck of it I looked 'peeve' up in the thesaurus. (I remember the thesaurus that sat on our bookshelf in the hall when I was a kid. The one with the corner of the paper cover torn, and curled back. The book that had magical words in it!) I enjoyed seeing just some of the synonyms for 'peeve':
thorn
ruffle
vexation
bugbear
botheration
tribulation
fleabite
albatross
hair shirt
Ah, such fun. Now I feel better. I don't feel quite as dandered!
Thanks for reading! What exasperates you?
