Transcript: 00:00:01 Jack Welcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we have a topic talk and today's topic is pet peeves and social. Maybe people, maybe our students don't actually know what a pet peeve. 00:00:23 Jack Is it's kind of a weird word or kind of a weird phrase. What is a pet? 00:00:27 발표자 Mm-hmm. 00:00:28 Jack You've. 00:00:29 Xochitl A pet peeve is something that bothers you. Kind of like in modern slang you would say like an ick. It's something that like, bothers you but not to an extreme extent. It's not like something necessarily bad or like. 00:00:46 Xochitl Objectively bad or horrible about someone or the OR a habit that someone does, but it's just something that irritates you. 00:00:54 Jack Yeah, like if you have a friend that lies to everybody and they just lie. 00:01:00 Jack That's not really a pet peeve that's more like, uh, a character flaw. Exactly like everybody hates that because everybody hates lying, OK? 00:01:02 Xochitl No, that's. 00:01:03 Xochitl You said your boss. 00:01:06 발표자 3 Right. 00:01:12 Xochitl But if you have a friend. 00:01:12 Jack Yeah. 00:01:13 Xochitl Who doesn't push their chair in? That's my one of my pet peeves is people like you go to a restaurant with people and they leave their chairs on, pushed or whatever. I don't like that. That's a pet peeve. It bothers me when people leave their chairs on push and I might go and push everyone's. 00:01:30 Xochitl Then. 00:01:31 Jack Ohh, you'll actually go and push in all the chairs of. 00:01:34 Jack Like your family members. 00:01:34 Xochitl Depends if if people have gone on and I have like an extra second back then I'll do it. I just don't like leaving it for the servers to like have to push everyone's chairs back in or whatever, you know. 00:01:46 Jack Yeah, it is kind of rude to like, you know, push your chair out to get up and just walk away. 00:01:52 Jack OK, it's like push your chair in. It's. Yeah, it it's just a common politeness, right? 00:01:53 Xochitl Yeah. 00:01:59 발표자 Hmm. 00:02:00 Jack Yeah, yeah. 00:02:02 Xochitl And what's a pet peeve of yours, Jack? 00:02:04 Jack UM, I don't know. I'm trying to think of like, what are some? 00:02:07 Jack Of my pet peeves. 00:02:09 Xochitl Oh, another way to explain this to our listeners as well is that it's something that bothers you about other people. 00:02:19 Xochitl UM, it's not like a habit of yours, if that makes sense. 00:02:25 Xochitl It's kind of like something that bothers you that other people do usually. 00:02:28 Jack Yeah. Like let's say that like you have a friend. 00:02:34 Jack And she likes to. 00:02:36 Jack Eat baby carrots in like tiny little bites. You know, she takes like a little bite of a baby carrot, and then she's like, and then she's and then another bite and. None. None. None. None. None. And it's like it's it's just like her habit is annoying to you. Other people might not care at all. They're like, oh, that's OK that's how she eats, baby. 00:02:42 Xochitl Done. 00:02:44 Xochitl Like a rabbit. 00:02:46 Xochitl No. 00:02:59 Jack There it's, you know. 00:03:00 Jack It's fun, but for you it feels like someone scratching their fingernails on a chalkboard, you know? 00:03:00 발표자 3 Right. 00:03:08 Xochitl Right.
