Task 6: My Pet Peeve

     For this task you are to describe in detail your pet peeve - or one of them, as we all have many, really.  Look at it from an objective point of view.  Try and see from "outside" yourself as well as inside.  Think hard about this one and write carefully.  Your writing should longer than the following example attempt to fill at least a page if you run out of ranting material move on to a different pet peeve.



                 There are many things in life which bother me, but one of them is
                 grocery lines.  Why is it that the longest line in the supermarket
                 is always at the checkout counter which says "Fast Line, 12 items
                 or less?"  There is usually only one of these lines and it has to
                 serve the most people!  There are often six or more other lanes,
                 no more than 2 of which are ever open at one time.  Are they put
                 there to fool us into thinking we're going to get fast service or
                 what?

                 And how come just as I step up to the register, it seems more
                 than half the time the checker has just run out of bags, change,
                 or can't find the price for some item and has to call for someone
                 to go back on the aisle and find out the shelf price--thereby
                 taking another two to three minutes of line standing.





     You should get the idea from that!  I'm sure if you thing about it, you can find many, many thing which bug you.  It just takes a little more effort to really be able to put what bothers you into words, but it is often interesting, both to yourself and others.
