One of our dogs walks behind us so closely, he catches a heel to the chin, way too often.

He's almost 6, you'd think he would have figured it out by now.

My pet hate. People That Type Like This, Causing The Inner Dialogue To Jar Each Word And Confuse Titles And Names Amongst Regular Words.

Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.

In this post, the capital letters (plus the "How To") suggest a title, like a book or something.

I hate it more when People do it with just a few Words, arbitrarily.

It’s like they saw a Smart Person do it to Make A Point, and then they decided to just Do It All The Time.

On the flip side of that, it tickles me when people capitalize some Meaningful Words as if they're Super Important Noun Phrases.

Almost Looks like a Page out of the Constitution (or pretty much Any Text from that era).

Perhaps they're harkening to that.

I think 'peeve' is more American because it's modern American-informal from 'peevish' so it's not caught on much in other countries. You'd probably.also be confused by 'pet aversion' which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

Edit: Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "peeve" in any other context, even Americans.

Perhaps. Whatever the case, the alliteration rolls off the tongue more easily.

Ha, it rolls off my tongue much easier than "pet peeve."

I'm reminded of this legendary bit.

English by country or region is a bit of a hoot.

I just watched that the other day. I can recite Circles and Dress to Kill practically verbatim.

I got a stray that hangs around and does that weaving between my feet thing just walking over to where I can smoke, because he wants me to pick him up. If I don't pick him up, he goes from weaving between my feet to screaming and biting me.

This is the third time the label "Jerkface" has come up in my recent readings and, so far as I know, only this one was you.

edit: Make text slightly more readable.

Knitting themselves between your ankles is a cat love language. Ever seen cat friends just walking together, bumping shoulders and tangling tails?

My old kitty loves to walk me around the house, not even to the food bowl. We go from the cat tree to the other cat tree to the window to the screen door and she's yelling and grumbling, hopping up for pets on the trees but she's mainly about walking together.

The car is simply asserting ownership. Love doesn't enter into the equation
