Pet Peeves
The Wikipedia definition says a pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it. Examples may be; poor table manners, sloppy kitchen hygiene, grammatical errors in written passages, inconsiderate driving or lazy co-workers.
I've always hated the phrase, "I'm all about (fill in the blank)". I'm not sure exactly when this phrase came about, but it's definitely from my life time. I think it started with the MTV era/ reality programs. Where regular people were declaring themselves special, just because they were stupid enough to put themselves on national television. Maybe I didn't like the phrase at first because, there simply was not anything that I could declare that ,"I was all about". However, these days I pretty much know what I'm all about, and I still find it annoying.

my pet peeve is when people punch me in my face.
does that happen a lot? that would definitely annoy me too.
I'm all about not punching people in the face.
listen ladies, i hear the undercurrent going on here. i know the two of you have probably used the phrase in my presence. but, i'm willing to over look these mild annoyances, because we've all been friends for so long.
i've never used that phrase in my life- i'm just all about commenting:)
ok. it's out of my system now.
