Pet Peeves: Everybody Has One

Sometimes you just feel like venting to let the world know what really gets on your nerves.

Is it when people pop their gum? Or when they take their sweet time about leaving a parking spot? Or would it be when someone is prattling on incessantly during a movie?

The list could go on and on, but there is a Web site on which people feel your pain, or more accurately, your annoyances.

Mypetpeeves.com offers a product line that allows people who have the urge to gripe express themselves through products that turn irritation into humor.

According to the Web site, the top annoyances among people are cell phone abusers, grouches, slobs, telemarketers, late people, being ignored, tailgaters and bad customer service.

There is also a line of plush characters that depict both the actual annoyances and the response to the annoyances.

Besides being available on the Web site, the products can be found in such retail outlets as gift stores, airport stores and bookstores, among others.

But if your gripe is shelling out cash, you could visit the site's "Rant & Rave!" section and sound off for free.

There is also a section for viewing some of the many irritations that tick people off. With so many of them out there, it could take a while to get through them all. So, try to be patient.
