Irrational hygiene proclivities.

One time I went on a date with a guy who chastised me for double-dipping, after which he shoved his tongue down my throat.

Then stop double-dipping you weirdo

I don't have a problem with double-dipping. Worrying about germ contamination from double-dipping I think is not all that rational outside of germ factories like a kindergarten. If you don't wash your hands after using an ATM or pressing an elevator button, you're spreading around (and ingesting) a lot more germs.

It's true — people are germ-phobic in very concentrated areas of their lives, and don't realize it's the number of other people involved that increase the chances of sickness, not the gooeyness (in this case).

I'll drink anyone's beer if I would make out with them.

Send in your mobile phone pet peeves for the week of February 15th! Perhaps the simplest and most common generator of peeves, the mobile phone prods and pricks us in all places, public and private. With skull phones just around the corner, it’s likely these peeves will soon become irrelevant—so let’s spray them across the galaxy while we still can.

For the next week or so, the pictures for peeves will be of Peeve Pile’s national spokesperson, Rob Grace, and his special person, Shana, enacting various peeves. Please feel free to make such pictures yourself. Just include a link to them when submitting a peeve.

Hello. I’ve added a voting feature, so you can vote as you assume that you would – just click on a one-to-five star rating (it will tell you your vote has been recorded); five indicating that you completely agree with, or find the peeve amusing, one meaning the opposite.

Once a bunch of ratings are in, I’ll add a worst, and best rated area to the right column.
