    Pet Peeves [30 Day Challenge]

    Day 7: Pet Peeves Pet peeves are an interesting concept. Why do these small annoyances bother us so much? Is it because we do them ourselves or there was a particular time that caused us to think negatively on these habits? I’m sure I have many pet peeves, but this is going to be a […]
