There are different pet peeves according to different kinds of people. For example, our composition teacher said that she was annoyed by some drivers who forgot to close their blinker, and this kind of situation annoys me, too. Furthermore, I have another pet peeves which is when some chinese talk with me, they keep saying "You know ?(ni zhi dao ma?) " before every sentence.
Believe or not, you can always meet some chinese people who like to say "You know?" as their beginning of talk. For instance, one of my friends was talking with me about a kind of make-up, she would like to say :" You know? Clinique has a very good product. You know? It is called acne sollution. You know? I have been using it for 1 month. You know? My face goes better than before. You know? It really works, and you should have a try. You know?..." I feel very very crazy when I am talking with her. When she was saying "You know?", I felt extremely uncomfortable and as if she knowed everything and she was the smartest person in this world. That is really a bad habbit. From the moment I realized I did not like the way she said, I stopped saying that words so that I would not annoy other people.
Another annoyance is that when people talk about the criticism coming from other people, they do not think about whether is right or not, they just do not accept it. For example, one of my roommates always makes some noise when she is eating something. Once she was eating in a quiet studying room, another student who sat behind her could not bear that eating noise and said to her. While, when she came back, she complained about how strange that student was. When she was complaining, all of my roommates did not say anything because she did not realize that it was really a big problem she had. I felt really bad when my friends cannot do introspection after they heard some criticism on themselves.
In conclusion, we probably meet the situation which can annoy us, we should prevent the situation occurring on ourselves and annoying others.
Do not annoyed by You Know. This is a way people communicate. If you listen a radio, you will hear a lot of You Know.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is related personality. Just choose the right friends wil be fine.
Just answer "No" every time she said that. I bet she will stop saying that because she will start to get annoyed by "NO"! :D
ReplyDeleteYou know Katherine,the sound of eating is annoyed me,too.You know,your essay is very complement. You know,I will use "you know " in all my talking because ,you know ,it makes the person like the smartest person in the world,you know that already .....HAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteI think some people usually don't think other' s feeling and respect the public nowadays. They only think about themselves. Therefore, they sometimes have actions which annoy others.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! Oh no! I understand how you feel, Katherine...
ReplyDeleteOh,I am usually hear this words in many cases as well. "you know" is really common in everywhere, and this is a habit of many people.
ReplyDeleteOops... I think that the first case is my habit! I usually use 'you know' when start conversation. I will be careful when talk with u :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right! I hate people saying “you know” before they wanna tell me something. If I know, then why would you still tell me? It’s stupid! We do have to prevent this kind of things from happening, which will lead to bad relationship with others.
