  • Pet peeves are those things that people do or those things in life that really

  • bother you pet peeves or things that you find annoying.

  • So we're going to look at a few pet peeves this morning.

  • You can see I have one pet peeve up here.

  • This young man is chewing gum and it looks like he's chewing quite loudly.

  • I'm just gonna check to make sure everything's working. But welcome.

  • I'm Bob the Canadian.

  • We're here today to do a lesson on pet peeves.

  • I just want to say hello to everyone in the chat. Let me just check.

  • Looks like everything is working.

  • So we all have pet peeves.

  • We all have those things in life or things that people do in life that really,

  • really bother us.

  • I have more pet peeves than most people. I'm,

  • I'm not sure why, but there are a lot of things that bother me.

  • There are a lot of things that other people do that I find annoying.

  • So I'll kind of highlight as we go through some of my pet peeves.

  • But right now let's get started again.

  • Hello to everyone who is joining us.

  • Hello to everyone in the chat and welcome to this lesson.

  • So here's the first one. The letters are a little smaller this time,

  • but the first pet peeve we're going to talk about is people who chew loudly or

  • two with their mouth open. So depending on where you are from in the world,

  • this May or may not bother you,

  • but this is something that bothers my wife in particular,

  • does not like it when our kids too loudly or when they chew with their mouth

  • open. So you can see here I couldn't find a picture of a person chewing.

  • But here is a cow and the cow is chewing on some grass.

  • Chewing is when you do this when you're eating food.

  • So our first pet peeve is people who chew loudly or chew with their mouth open.

  • This one doesn't particularly bother me because usually if I'm eating with

  • people I like eating so much that I'm only really thinking about eating myself.

  • Eating my own food. And I don't usually hear everyone around me.

  • You don't know me personally, but when I'm hungry, I'm really hungry.

  • So when I eat, all I think about is the food I'm eating.

  • I'm not usually too worried about what other people are doing.

  • I'm just going to pause for a moment to welcome everyone.

  • So we're a few minutes in. This is a lesson on pet peeves. And again,

  • pet peeves are those things in life or things that people in life do that really

  • bother you or are that you find annoying. So again,

  • hello to everyone in the chat. Before we continue,

  • remember if you have questions about the topic, which is pet peeves.

  • Todd will be posting a link from time to time and you can ask those questions

  • via the Google form. Again, I will only be answering questions about the topic.

  • So I know some of you have other questions.

  • You can save those for tomorrow nights live stream, which is an open one.

  • This is one of my biggest pet peeves. In fact,

  • I think this is the biggest pet peeve that I have and that is people who text

  • and drive or use a phone while driving.

  • So as a lot of, you know,

  • I go for a walk every morning and I walk along the road outside of my house and

  • oftentimes I see people driving and they have their head down while they're

  • driving their vehicle because they are texting.

  • Texting is when you send a text message to someone.

  • So they're using their phone while they are driving.

  • And I just find this really, really dangerous.

  • And I find it's quite disrespectful because sometimes as I'm walking,

  • they don't see me. They're just driving along,

  • texting while driving their vehicle. It's a little crazy.

  • So that's my biggest one.

  • People who text and drive or who use their phone while driving,

  • don't please don't do that.

  • For the amount of people we have in this chat,

  • there's some of you that probably text and drive.

  • I would hope that you guys don't do that.

  • I'm going to do a couple more and then I'll start to take questions.

  • Here we go. Let's see.

  • People who are always late.

  • So another interesting fact about pet peeves is often your pet peeve is

  • something that you yourself don't do. So I am usually on time.

  • You can tell from the livestreams that I do every Friday and the live stream

  • that I do every Saturday,

  • we almost 99% of the time we start on time of Bob.

  • The Canadian likes to be on time. I don't like to be late.

  • So people who are always late I find this quite annoying.

  • Especially if you are supposed to be in a meeting or if you are supposed to meet

  • somebody and they show up late. I, I, I don't enjoy it.

  • I'm usually we too early though.

  • So that might actually bother other people because if something starts at eight,

  • I'm usually there at 10 to eight. If someone says,

  • meet me at a coffee shop at four, I'm usually there at 10 to four.

  • So maybe other people have a pet peeve.

  • People who are always early, but I'm usually

  • just a little bit bothered when people are not on time.

  • Here's our next pet peeve. Let me see here.

  • People who don't use their turn signals.

  • So this is the back of a car. This is the signal lighter turn signal.

  • People who don't use their turn signal or people who leave their turn signal on.

  • So sometimes when I'm driving down the highway

  • there will be someone in front of me who has their turn signal on.

  • But they don't ever turn, they just drive and drive and drive.

  • And they don't ever turn the direction, their turn signal.

  • It says that they're going.

  • But also there's people who don't signal or don't use their turning signal.

  • When they decide to turn, they just, all of the sudden they just turn.

  • And both of those things. I think they bother me to,

  • is this going to be a video about things that bothered Bob, the Canadian?

  • Possibly. Hey, let's jump over a and take a few questions.

  • I'm going to take the first one is from Agnes.

  • Let me post that into the chat. Agnes from Francis. Hi. And have a good day.

  • Is it better to use right now or right away? It's one of my pet peeves.

  • I like to do stuff right away. I liked they're slightly different.

  • But you can use both of them and they are very, very common phrases.

  • Like let's say I need a coffee right now or I need a coffee right away.

  • It just means there's an urgency to my need for a coffee, Agnes.

  • So hopefully that makes some sense. Let's see here.

  • Lawley has a question here. Lawley's question.

  • Lawley is from France as well. Hi Bob.

  • Can I say I am the pet peeve of my family? This, no,

  • that would not be a correct sentence. I totally understand your meaning though.

  • That you,

  • yourself and your personality might be a little bit annoying to your family.

  • But no, you wouldn't say that you're the pet peeve of your family.

  • If you were writing creatively, you might be able to say that,

  • but it's not a standard way to describe yourself. You would say,

  • my family finds me annoying or my family finds me a bit much.

  • I'll type that in.

  • My family finds me a bit much.

  • That would actually be a good phrase for later. Today.

  • When you're a bit much it means you're a little overwhelming for people.

  • I don't think you're like that. Lolly. I'm sure you're fine. Let's see here.

  • Let's see. I'm trying to find, oh, here we go.

  • Anna Anna says I'm nasty. Hello. I don't like bad smells.

  • How can I correctly say that?

  • So I would say that one of your pet peeves is things that stink a or bad smells.

  • So you could see either were actually correct there.

  • So you could definitely say that one of your pet peeves is that you don't like

  • things that stink or stinky things or things that smell.

  • Nathan GRS says, teacher Bob, happy Friday. Thanks Nathan. Happy Friday to you.

  • Annoying habits. Are they similar to pet peeves? Thank you very much. Yes.

  • So some people have very annoying habits.

  • And you would also say when they do that thing you don't like it.

  • So it's one of your pet peeves. So again,

  • a pet peeve is something that you personally find annoying or something that

  • bothers you.

  • So let's see people who use their phone when you are talking to them.

  • So I can't show you an example cause my phone is actually my camera right now.

  • But I think many of us have had conversations where you're talking to a friend

  • and every minute they look at their phone, so you're having a conversation.

  • You're enjoying talking, but every time their phone makes a noise,

  • even in the middle of a sentence,

  • they look at their phone and they stop listening to you.

  • So people who use their phone when you are talking to them,

  • this is definitely another pet peeve.

  • This one doesn't bother me very much. I think I might be guilty of doing this.

  • I might be someone who does sometimes use my phone when I'm talking to other

  • people. I really should stop doing that. But you can see in the picture here,

  • this is the universal look that people have on their face when they're annoyed.

  • A arms full, like this,

  • rightly arms folded and then there's the friend on the phone.

  • So in this picture,

  • I would imagine these two friends decided they would go out for coffee or go out

  • for something to eat and this friend is on her phone the whole time.

  • Not Enjoyable.

  • It's a much better to either turn your ringer off or turn your notifications off

  • on your phone when you're spending time with someone so that you're not

  • distracted. Always a good one. Oh, let's see here.

  • Here's another one. I'm sure some of you actually do this,

  • but for some people their pet peeve is people who drive with their windows down

  • and their music really loud.

  • So this is someone who has put a really loud radio or stereo in their car.

  • Usually this is younger people.

  • Usually these are young men who have a car with a really loud,

  • a stereo, a really loud car radio,

  • and they'll drive around with their windows down and they'll have what we would
