Pet Peeves Analysis

Superior Essays
“I don 't have pet peeves, I have an entire kennel of irritation” was once said by Whoopi Goldberg. Nothing more could describe my continuous storm of anger raining down upon anyone who comes near me. Alas, I cannot do this essay on every single stinking pet peeve I have but I have made sure to pick a delightfully disgusting topic today. So, for the genuine glory of basing all of my essay on a pun, I 've chosen to focus on my pet peeves. Specifically, the focus is Kimber 's altercations with the toilet, the bad idea of having a black dog in the middle of the night, and Callies ' nose issues.

When this plot for attention is ignored, she goes on to the next step, which means getting as close to their face as possible. At first, its seen as an attempt to cajole the person into petting her. Do not be fooled, shes secretly plotting their demise. It takes a moment for her to get close enough, and then she strikes. Faster than a cobra, she dives in. It is probably intended to be a little bite, but she is quite bad at calculating. The bite doesn 't hurt so much as the pain of having a tiny rocket slammed into their nose. Rolling over to cover the injured flesh does nothing, as her next target is ears. Theres nothing besides fear as they lie there, nursing their pride, which hurts just about as bad as their

A smacker can be defined as: the person at the dinner table that parts their lips noisily in eager anticipation of food, drink, or other pleasures. If there were ever a someone that could ruin good food, it would be the person too focused on the food and totally disregarding the awful noises coming from their muzzle. My hatred for smackers can most closely be compared to Farhad Manjoo’s hatred for dogs in the short essay: No, I Do Not Want to Pet Your Dog. Manjoo makes it clear that he believes there is a time and place for dogs, and that he will never be a fan of them.…
