The Peeve

I was trying to blog each day about my attempts to be a bright shining star at the compound, but the compound's cramping my starry style. Instead, I shall now write about peeves on a regular basis, until the end of the school year.

Big Peeve: I hate when people say something that's not even remotely funny, but they chuckle or chortle when they finish saying it. Today I heard someone say, "Boy is it ever! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA HA!" I always feel fairly uncomfortable on these occasions. Should I pretend laugh? I usually go with the nod and smile approach. But it's awkward.
