Wondering around the third floor of Lewis Hall looking for some mischief to get myself into. When I made awkward eye contact with the woman in the PR department. I noticed she had cookies on her desk. I was really hungry and I really wanted a cookie. I wondered in the office and stated that I was doing an assignment for my journalism class and needed to find out someone’s pet peeve. As she stared back at me and responds “oh gosh, where do I begin?” She started rambling on and on about all the things that annoy her. The two that I thought were actually kind of funny were bad drivers, and when smokers pack their cigarettes. I laughed with her for a while about all the silliness that she was saying. I looked at her name label, I never knew her name, I’ve walked past her office for years and never once had spoken to her. Shelli Rasmussen, she’s a wonderful lady.

Shelli yelled into a door way “hey Dave! Come here for a second!” and a older balding man walked into the office where Shelli and I were. “What’s your pet peeve? She needs to know.” Shelli explained. Without hesitation Dave replies “slow drivers.” He had a serious look on his face, “you must really hate slow drivers,” I said to fill an awkward silence. Dave just responds with a smile and walks back into his office. I thank Shelli for her time, she offers me a cookie and I walked down the hall and back to class. Wondering what my own pet peeves are.
