If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

"Pet peeve" origin

The first usage of the term pet peeve was around 1919. The word peeve is a back-formation of the word peevish, which means "ill-tempered." Pet, in this case, means "favorite" (as in a teacher's pet).
