For someone who had just confirmed that they are dealing with a certain allergic condition after an intensive consultation from a trusted allergy testing center, having to live with a pet-peeve is another matter. Everyone has their own pet peeves, which some are not pretty much aware of. But if you get the feeling of annoyance that starts to get into your nerves and you just can’t seem to ignore it no matter how much effort you try to – that is a positive sign of a pet peeve.

What Is a Pet Peeve?

By definition, a pet peeve is something that irritates or annoys you. If you easily get bothered by someone that is mispronouncing or misusing a word then that’s definitely it.

Everyone has their own unique and strange pet peeve and no matter how weird it could be it’s simply something they could never stand. On the other hand, these irritants become somewhat amusing and surprising, yet you still get to talk about them, especially to those who share the same bugbear.
