My biggest pet peeve is when people take my stuff and use it without
asking or putting it back into its proper place! I’m totally fine when people
ask to use my stuff beforehand, that way they show that they care whose
property it is and that they’ll return it. For example, when brothers take my
snowboarding gear or clothes randomly one day and I can’t find them when I am
actually leaving out the door to go snowboarding! I much rather prefer that
people ask me before they take my stuff, and in doing so I’ll gladly let them
borrow it, whatever it may be.
My brothers are the main ones in
causing this annoyance, but it could be others such as friends or acquaintances.
Although for the most part, it comes from the family. Basically it happens with
the people you live with.
Dear Older Brother,
Andrew, did you know that there is
something that you do all the time that I just can’t stand? I’m pretty sure I’ve
hinted it to you, even told you bluntly not to do it anymore... but you still
do it! Whenever I need my stuff, such as my snowboard or gloves, I just never
am able to find them! I sometimes have to enter your room and scavenger hunt
around to find my hidden and lost belongings. Could you please ask me before
you take my stuff? I am more than willing to let you borrow whatever I own! I would
like to know where my belongings are just in case if I need to use them in the
near future. Thanks brother! Increase the peace.

Your peeve sounds reasonable enough! I hate that as well! I especially hate it when it's expensive equipment that they're borrowing. If they would just ask every time this whole problem would be solved!
ReplyDeleteI agree this is so annoying! I'm have a little sister who loves to go through my stuff when I leave for school and it drives me crazy when I get home to see her wearing all my clothes without ever even asking. I hate even more when people borrow my clothes and don't wash them before giving them back.
ReplyDeleteI swear this is the problem with every kid that has siblings! Apparently we all must have signed some contract that we didn't know about that gave free reign of all our stuff to our brothers and sisters!
ReplyDeleteI got home from my mission and I couldn't find a pair of sweet indoor soccer shoes that I had bought prior to leaving for two years. When I got here to Uruguay, I saw them in my brothers closet! And worse yet, they were all torn and dirty and used. I'm over it now, but I wasn't very happy at the time! I know what you mean Jason...
