A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree as others may find it.

What are your pet peeves? Are there things that really bug you that others may not find annoying at all?

For this visual journal assignment, you will create an illustration of a pet peeve of yours. Along with your illustration, you will write a paragraph describing what your pet peeve is and why it bothers you.

Remember, these are general annoyances such as people chewing with their mouths open, or not covering their mouths when they sneeze or cough. They’re not an attack against a single individual.
