According to Whoopi Goldberg, "I don't have pet peeves; I have whole kennels of irritation." There are people all over the world who have situations and things that bother or annoy them. To some people, a pet peeve could be something at makes people want to punch someone else in the face. The three pet peeves that irritate me the most are pure noises, rubbing teeth on silverware, and cracking fingers or other bones. The first pet peeve that drives me crazy is puke noises. The first reason why a pet peeve of mine is puke noises is because it sounds disgusting. For example, when people make fake puke noises and it sounds like they are seriously throwing up. Another example would be when people are actually throwing up; I can never tell which …show more content…
The first reason why silverware rubbing on teeth is annoying is because it hurts my ears. For example, when I do it to myself when I am eating I gape and open my mouth and take my fork out. The next reason why a pet peeve of mine is silverware rubbing on teeth is because it is not pleasing at all to my eyes. Some times I send an intimation like glaring at them to see if they get the hint to stop or not. For example, when people bite on their forks it reminds me of a dog biting on a bone. Another example is it looks nasty when you are sitting across from someone who is chomping on their silverware. The last reason why people biting on their silverware is a pet peeve of mine is because it hurts my teeth. For example, I have sensitive teeth and when I bite on my forked spoon I can feel my teeth crying on the inside. Another example is when I accidentally bite and drag the fork out of mouth and it feels like my mouth is throbbing. That is why people biting on their silverware drives me …show more content…
The first reason why cracking fingers is a pet peeve of mine is because it is gross. For example, when people can crack all their fingers at one time and not feel like crying like I do when I try to crack all my fingers. Another example is when someone does it one at a time and you can hear it crack nice and loud all the way across the room. The next reason why cracking fingers is a pet peeve of mine is because it hurts. For example, when I try to crack a finger and it does not crack, it feels like it is jammed for the rest of the day. Another example is when I crack a finger and it cracks really loud and it feels limb for the rest of the day also. The final reason why cracking fingers is a pet peeve of mine is because it is very irritating. For example, there is always at least one person in each of my classes that cracks their fingers or neck. Most people who are ambidextrous crack all their fingers on both of their hands. Even if they aren't ambidextrous they still can crack all their fingers. Another example is some people do it every class period and most of the time it is silent when they do it. That is why people cracking their fingers or neck is a pet peeve of mine. My pet peeves largely have to do with some of the things people do and say. My first pet peeve is puke noises. Another pet peeve of mine is when people bite on their silverware. The last pet peeve of mine is when people

These include things such as dislike of strangers, animals, drugs, and being humiliated. Regarding the subject of animals, there is an entire chapter in the text called Pet Problems that delves into this topic and some of the other fears. The story known as “The Bump in the Rug” shows the fear of being caught and animals, respectively. For in this story, a man who is installing carpeting discovers a bump under a section of the material. Thinking that it is his misplaced package of cigarettes, he simply hammers it until it is flat. However, unfortunately, the owner of the house had a parakeet which lodged itself under the carpeting (Harold, 358). A tale that focuses on the fear of drugs, in “The Stuffed Baby” from the Bringing Up Baby chapter of the text. This grotesque tale centers around a young couple who have a dead baby which they have hollowed out and filled with marijuana (Harold, 225). The fears of this one are the influence of drugs and how they could hypothetically cause people to act in an abhorrent
The aim of this paper is to take an in-depth look at the emotion of disgust, and explore what role (if any) it should play in morality. The issue of what role disgust should have in morality is disputed by advocates and skeptics. In what follows, I will outline this dispute and show the arguments each side makes. Following that, I will take a look into Kelly’s view which takes the skeptical stance, but differs in how he comes to take that stance. Next I will show how Kelly uses his view to disprove the disgust advocates’ arguments. Finally, I will illustrate a promising line of argument that may give hope to the disgust advocates, in light of Kelly’s powerful skeptical stance.
While there are many different emotions, there is one that stands above all others; Hate.
There’s a monster under your bed, and there are ghosts in the attic. The Bogey man is in your closet and ravens await your death so they can pick from your rotting flesh. Flowers are ready to strangle you, as pickles prepare to choke you in the night. It’s almost funny to hear of people who actually fear flowers and pickles. But these people have real legit fears of even the nicest of things. Although these fears are horrible, and should not be feared; I think the more we know about them, the more we can be prepared. There must be a deeper meaning of these weird phobias. Is it nature? Or inherited traits of the human body? Maybe they come from past experiences? Even as these fears are quite interesting, but unwanted, I want to know why people acquire these ridiculous fears and how we could stop them.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder tends to stem around certain categories. Fears, such as germs, are often a major category attacked by OCD. (Mayo, 1) These fears turn into obsessions, which can cause detrimental conflict in one’s life. Obsessions are thoughts, images, or impulses that keep reoccurring and lack control by the person obtaining them. (Ocfoundation, 2) Generally, these obsessions are unwanted by the person and are generally disturbing and confusing. Feelings of discomfort typically follow such thoughts as well as the wanting to correct the feeling of discomfort. (Ocfoundation, 3) Some of the most common obsessions today are body contamination, losing control, perfectionism, harm, or unwanted sexual thoughts. (Ocfoundation,4)

Biting my nails is a great because it relieves stress and helps with boredom. It is unwanted however because it leaves my finger nails in an undesired state.

An undesirable behavior that affects many children and adults through out the world is nail-biting. Nail biting, also known as onychophagia, is defined as a nervous affliction or neurosis in which the free edges of the nails are bitten down (Davis 1265). In other words, For one to bite their nails they must put one or more fingers in their mouth and bite on their nail with their teeth.

What causes dental phobia? About 75% of such patients have had a bad childhood experience in a dentist's office. Another 25% suffer from other issues like post traumatic stress disorders e.g., war veterans, domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, for whom dental phobia becomes an unpleasant side effect. Also a lot of these patients didn't have a good access to dental care. Indirect experiences such as hearing about traumatic experiences/views of a friend or family member about dentistry may also contribute towards development of phobias.
What is it about the smaller things in life that makes humans terrified? Why are some people afraid of something that will obviously never happen to them, while others are oblivious to the problems around them? The people who are afraid of things that pose little to no danger to them have some type of phobia. A phobia can range from sociophobia, which is the fear of being judged by society, to sesquipedalophobia, which is the fear of long words. Phobias come in wide varieties, and can seriously affect the victim of said phobia. Some people say that phobias are just strange, random fears that “crazy” people develop, but studies have shown that phobias often have thorough reasoning behind their cause.
The only food that I avoid because of a bad experience is deep fried cheese curds, and many would find avoiding cheese curds odd because I grew up in Wisconsin where deep fried cheese curds are considered a relatively popular food. Coincidently, my first time eating cheese curds would be my last. I was very young, and I decided after I had already eaten a sizable lunch that it would be a good idea to eat as many cheese curds I could possibly fit in my stomach. I then went straight to the back seat of my father’s recently bought car. We ...
