Sometimes you don’t know you have a
pet peeve until it becomes present in your life. This seems to be the pattern as most of the
posts made thus far have referenced annoying brothers, sisters, or family
members. My personal pet peeve did not develop until this year, and happens to
consequence of a roommate. It certainly
isn’t typical and I’m sure it sounds weird to you, but you haven’t walked a
mile in my shoes: or, in this case,
lived a few months with her.
My pet peeve is excessive
laughing. You wouldn’t think so if you
knew me well. I am very optimistic
towards life and I love to laugh. It’s a
form of expression that beautifully portrays your inward emotions. The problem arises when your ‘cackling’ is out
of place, constant and loud. Imagine
someone in the library wearing headphones and instantly bursting with obnoxious
laughter without being conscious of those trying to study around them. You give them a dirty look; they don’t catch
on. Your efforts to remedy this or make
a compromise come to no avail. Closing
the door and dampening the shrill laughs via paper-thin walls will never
satisfy.
Sincerely,
I love you, but I feel I could love you more if we didn’t
live together.
I know exactly what you mean! I definitely am not the quietest laugher, but when it's something small, or it's every time you laugh, it's just too much.
ReplyDeleteSome people can't help it, of course, but for the most part one can control HOW loud one laughs.
Yeah I have a roommate who doesn't necessarily laugh excessively but he likes to be very vocal about his successes. Kind of like bragging which can get old after a while. Also, I agree some laughs can just grate against your ears after hearing it so often. Lets hope our roommates don't find out about this blog were we can say whatever we want about them!
