minus-squareApathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoA peeve of mine is the term “pet peeve”. 😅 If something bothers you so, why the fuck would you keep, nurture, and tend to it as a pet? I propose it change to haunting peeve, because you don’t want it, can’t get rid of it, and it exists regardless if you think about it or not. 😁 (I’m not super serious about this, but “pet peeve” really does low-key bother me)
