Choose ONE either from the pet peeves list looked at in class or create your own. Write two paragraphs explaining why you loathe this pet peeve and use IMAGERY to help the reader imagine why you dislike it so much.
Please post your homework below with your name.
Imagine yourself as a public speaker or a contestant in front of a live TV show. How would you feel? Timed,confident,vague? Well I don't know about you but i absolutely hate it! The way every single pair of eyes stare at you like your the last living thing on earth. You make slight contact with there eyes and suddenly you feel like your body has just caught on fire.
ReplyDeleteBut the worst thing that can possibly make you feel even more unstable is when one, just one person in the audience cracks a smile. Instantly you feel paranoia. You think they are laughing at you. Suddenly the air around you becomes thin and the next thing you know you enter a world of darkness.
Don't you just hate it when your about to relax and then the your next door neighbors start making a racket. Well I absolutely hate it when they do. It makes me want to grab their brains out of their head and boil it in acid. That's the nicest thing I could do with their brains.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing is that when I come from a long and hard day at work. I just want to fall asleep on my bed;then i hear their stereo turn on full volume. It feels like my eardrum and walls are about to shatter like glass. This makes me rage in fumes. I feel like knocking on their door and putting their stereo deep into their ears. Maybe then they have the slightest idea of how I feel.
One thing that hasn't changed in our everyday lives are of course, liars. It might sound better than the truth and it's one of those top things people do, to make themselves look better; going blah blah blah. Ahem, well pardon me for baiting that out, but it's just sad and really gets on my nerves, and the case doesn't change any better everyday. For one thing, it makes you look synthetic with a makeover. For Heaven's sake you must lead a really low life. Everyone lies, nut then later you're making a fool out of yourself at the end of the day. You make yourself look worse because one day everyone will find out the truth; you'll just look like a plastic dog toy, who's waiting for its dog to pick it up and the next thing is your being played with.

ReplyDeleteCookiemonster (Bilal) - Potential to be a good piece but I have to remove it because of the swearing. Can you re-post without swearing. :-) Don't forget to use discourse markers. Thank you for doing your homework.

ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, Saahil and Subhana. Some very ambitious language choices. Remember to use discourse markers especially to emphasise some of your most important points.
ReplyDeleteWhich is faster - a snail or the slowest internet connection? If you think about it, the snail is faster. Outrageous! Every time this contraption fails it makes me want to crush it into nano-sized pieces of scrap metal. In addition to that, it makes me wonder whether I'm dreaming or that this conection has the speed rate of a turtle!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm watching episodes of anime, there is a 75% chance that it will bail on me; why oh why do we have to go through this time-wasting process again? It makes me want to get the nurofen ready in case my head wants to explode. Furthermore, there would be other things that will benefit my time that I don't have to waste my voice box on. How will ever solve this problem?
Edited Version (No Bad Words) ->>
ReplyDeleteWhat I hate always has to be around me -_- , This is my sister i believe you dont have to love every single family member and i never liked her since day one. Words cannot describe how much i hate her. She is so: inconsiderate, vile , ignorant , catastrophic and arrogant. Forget that just hearing her name makes me go fruitcake (insane)!
We can never have a conversation because I'll end up punching her head off. I rather cross the M1 motor way with a blind fold on then talking to my sister. If i was to act like her for a day , then she'd might understand how i feel for all them pranks she did on me.
Don't you just hate it when your watching something on the internet that's really interesting and suddenly it starts to buffer and pause ever 2 minutes.(picture this) your watching the best horror film of the decade and just as the scary bit comes the internet pauses and ruins the whole film by buffering through it till the end.Whenever that happens to me I always refresh it but if that doesn't work I get so furious that I feel like pushing my fist against the computer screen so it smashes into little tiny pieces. I'm scared that one day I might actually break my computer.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just find it frustrating when someone's gossiping and you're there thinking look at yourself first, then talk? Gut wrenching,infuriating and extremely irritating.It makes me feel, as if I should twist out one of their eye ball, that must be pushed down their wretched throat.Additionally,instead of blabbering nonsense,talk about the pleasantness.Those foolish 'get-together parties',all you pick up is every single person just gossiping,gossiping and gossiping! It's utterly nerve-racking,which makes me want to shove something at their ill-starred faces.
ReplyDeleteThere is one thing that people hate even though its the smallest things. You must be wondering what I hate? Well, people interrupting me. It should go down as a crime! I'm talking to my friend about last nights game and someone has to but in and completely change the topic.
ReplyDeleteIt plain rude. It makes me pop there eyes out and eat them for dinner. I feel like interrupting them when they are talking about something really important so they have the slightest idea of how I feel.
Don’t you just hate it when someone coughs in your face? I mean seriously they need to learn to use their hand. It unconditionally aggravates me to the point that I want to backhand them in the face at maximum speed. Absolutely exasperating I say, however they may have no choice and can’t help doing it. Nevertheless it is a low sign of manners and I won’t stand for it.
ReplyDeleteEven then they continue coughing and you they want to reach your boiling point .They start and then you have that disgusted expression on your face and when you think they understand they do it again time really shouldn't go there it would probably get nasty. They do not want to try my patience; if they don’t want to see the me turn into a uncontrollable frenzy they should consider changing their attitude.
Buses are bad enough as it is with the repulsive and vile graffiti scrawled all over the chairs regardless of the fact that children also travel using the bus,that nauseating smell of urine that blends in with the humid atmosphere and worst of all the are the viscous floors which leave you feeling like there's Velcro attached to the sole of your shoe.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading all that you gotta be thinking that there is nothing worse than a bacteria blanketed bus. Well think again because there is only one thing w that is more revolting than a bus ,and that's a bus crammed full of people dripping in sweat on a blistering summers day.
What irritates me the most is when people decide it's ok to chew with their mouths open right in front of you.God knows what's going through those heads of theirs but all i can say is that it annoys the hell out of me to the point i feel like gluing their lips together with super glue.
ReplyDeleteBut the worst times are mostly at dinner when all you want to do is taste the mouth watering food that sits on a plate right in front of you, calling your name as the delicious smell dances around you like ballerina's on a stage.But the moment doesn't last long when the person opposite you starts to chew with their mouths wide open it almost looks as though their jaw will dislocate any second.And as though my stomach could see what i was witnessing, my appetite disappears.
I sat down with my laptop in front of me. I open it up, press the little 'on' button and wait for the screen to light up. Excited to have a chat with a distant friend, to post a few things on my blog, maybe even browse for a new jumper since winter is on its way. But no, fate has other plans for me. My internet connection has decided to go as slow a snail.
ReplyDeleteHaving a slow internet connection is one of the many things that irritate me, my parents pay a decent amount of money each month to maintain a decent connection, I guess the providers not naming names (virgin media) has other plans, on the other hand it does come in handy as a good excuse for not doing your homework in time.
Don't you just hate it when you're about dozing of to sleep and hear the agravatting sound of a loud trumpet playing in the next bedroom? well i do.That is the sound of my elder brother reviving me up from unconsiousness,leaving me tired and irritated having to listen to the harsh noises of an orchestrah performing live in his room.
ReplyDeleteThis just makes me want to plug headphones in each of him to stop him from vibrating like a pneumatic drill,going through my wall.
It really get on my nerves when i'm in a good action scene in avengers and we all know how good it going to be but suddenly you just see this little circle pop out just going round and round like a gateway to hell.On the other hand it feels like Christmas has gone by.It just makes me so intolerant,dreadful as well it makes me feel like a pathetic loser just waiting for so long

ReplyDeleteOne thing that bothers me so much is when I crave a sandwich and I go to get bread out of the breadbox and there is only two slices left, one being the crust. And when everything looks bad it gets worse. We all love toast….but especially not the horrid gritty taste of burnt toast. It’s like concrete but with more of a burnt look.
ReplyDeleteSo we have a piece of scorched toast on are plate waiting to get a makeover to look more edible. The only thing you could do was to scar it with a knife. It could have only happened if someone dialled up the heat on the toaster to make it at that state. This demented being wanted a quick toast but forgot to put it back to normal where it could of looked so appetizingly crisp.
Have your ever been in that situation where you have lost your keys or your phone? Well I have and let me tell you this it's not funny.You don't know what to do,you start panicking and start searching all over the place.
ReplyDeleteAdding on to the problem, your don't know what to say to your parents when they find out so you start creating lies but I always end up telling the truth.It feels like your trapped in a jungle;in one side there is a river full of crocodiles and in the other end there is a pride of lions.There is no safe way out which ever way you go you know your dead.
Who likes people who give you no attention? Who likes people who don't respect you?
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't hate people who are rude? Even though you haven’t said anything rude and still get an impolite response. Shopping is already a pretty infuriating experience, but when you get rude shop assistants too, the whole thing just becomes an ordeal.
Nevertheless, getting no response back but a response which is rude and disrespectful is what I just can’t take. Imagine going into a shop all delighted and content, standing there in the queue all pleased. Then your turn comes and suddenly getting an utter discourteous reply from the shop assistant and then sarcastically saying 'thanks so much for coming' as I leave the shop.
Don't you just hate it when your about to go on Facebook, getting ready to have a good old interesting conversation but all you see if the whole page covered with hash-tags and long paragraphs about your life? Its so annoying it makes me wanna headbutt my computer screen. seriously Facebook was made for people to interact and talk about certain topics its not for people to put hash-tags in-front of every single work in your sentence. Its also not for people to tell everyone about what they ate for dinner,what they want for Christmas. NO ONE CARES!
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice eating with someone or a group of people rather than eating by yourself, but completely the opposite when they eat with their mouths open and it sounds like someone stepping on snow. When i look at them, they eat like a starving horse that hasn't eaten for years, it also looks like mashed up baby food inside their mouths. Another thing is that you tell them to stop but they don't and it just feels like they need a smack across their face! When people eat with their mouths open is like someone ripping my tongue off
ReplyDeleteWe've all had them. Bad hair days are one of the most stressful,frustrating and simply embarrassing moments of my life.Getting up early in the morning is not that easy and when I do,my hair is in a complete mess like a lions mane. I have barely minutes to spare to tame it.Even Einsteins mad hair was less wild than mine.I feel like shaving it completely bold from frustration.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t life already stressful? Well I’ve got one of them annoying add on’s that you get on Google. My dad. He doesn’t know how to use modern technology, yet he still demands for iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, ipad, ipad3, and now the iPhone 5. He finally bought a iPhone and its made my life a living hell! I get these annoying, stupid and never-ending questions about how to use the iPhone. I feel like ripping my hair out with my bare hands when he asks me pointless questions like “ what’s my password “. I mean who doesn’t know how to download something off the app store, sometimes I want to take his phone throw it on the road and get it run over by a car and then tell him it was an accident with a big , evil grin on my face . Its worse than getting needles stuck in my face, in fact id rather have needles soldered to my face then a 101 questions from my dad.
ReplyDeleteSomething i really dislike. Oh gosh do not get me started, i HATE when my internet connection is slow! It makes me want to punch my laptop screen and break it. Man i can't take it especially when I'm playing an online game with my friends then all of a sudden it just freezes and i always have to reset my laptop i feel like calling up the internet company and humiliating them on the phone
ReplyDeletethen uploading it onto YouTube.
Ever visited a friend or family members house and went on the computer expecting the video your watching to run at a decent speed.After a while you begin to notice the videos not buffering anymore and you begin put your mind to ease, you suddenly get really hooked in and listen and watch the video carefully. Your body fills with uncontrollable anger as you see the buffering indicator for what seems like days.

ReplyDeleteWe all go through them days, where You haven't eaten or sipped anything apart from a glass of warm milk, and Your tummy makes the sound of a dying whale. Well no one wants to be disturbed whilst enjoying their delicious meal. But You know what annoys me too bits? The fact that You have to eat, with a person who chews like a horse. The last thing You want, is to hear someone munching on their food, with the most annoying sound coming out of their mouth. No matter how hard You try, the sound is always there at the back of Your head and doesn't seem to want to leave. You try Your best to cope, but to be a good person, You just have to find the nicest way to yell ' Shut up!! ' Or ignore it and enjoy Your meal. Its just that, people decide to make music out of eating, but find it so hard to sit there nicely and eat. They need to understand, how to NOT make music while eating their meal. I learnt that, the hard way.
