Keep Your Pets on A Leash

Keep Your Pets on A Leash

A pet is something that receives particular favor, as in “teacher’s pet.”

A peeve is an irritation that one feels, real or perceived.

Hence, a “pet peeve” is a particularly welcome irritation, giving someone reason to complain. If you have enough of them, sort of a “herd of pet peeves,” you’ll find yourself standing all by yourself with just your “pets” to keep you company. Nobody enjoys a chronic complainer.

    “Nobody enjoys a chronic complainer.”

    Ironic, since most of these posts are YOU complaining about things. You’re right, nobody enjoys a chronic complainer.
