Pet Peeves

The other day I was sitting beside a guy for nearly 6 hours and he chewed gum smacking it to his delight for nearly 4 of them. I love the guy but that day I wanted to pull my hair out and hit my head againt the car window. Then at church I sat by a guy who smacked his gum again and again so much so that I eventually just got up and left and went to another Bible study because I was either going to explode or go psychotic. Have you ever had someone unknowingly hit your pet peeve, push your buttons? This made me think because I struggled mentally and emotionally with anger and wanting to escape. While I don’t believe I did, it made me think that our pet peeves could serve as a trigger to unwelcome thoughts and behaviors. What pet peeves of yours trigger something bad with you?
