Pet Peeves Answer
Wow, 18 comments guessing my Top 3 Pet Peeves! By popular demand, they are as follows, in this exact order:
1. Talking while I am talking or reading.
2. Not putting your name on your paper.
3. Asking needless questions that would know the answer to if you just thought about it for .5 seconds.
If you made a guess, see me for a Jolly Rancher :)
As far as I can see, nobody got it exactly right. Until the next game!
