Dear Victorious,

Do you have pet peeves? What irks you the most?

Dear Annoyed,

Of course I have pet peeves. I think everyone does. We're human. Things that don't meet our expectations are bound to irritate us. What irks me the most? I'd have to say it is when people assume that "good enough is good enough." That always comes at the expense of excellence. To my way of thinking, this is wrong on so many levels. When I see people giving something what my mother used to call "a lick and a promise" - I get very irritated and sometimes even angry. Usually something unjust is involved when this has happened - so I don't even apologize for my anger, as I conclude it is righteous anger!
