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.

I'm wondering if I should join you in peeve publishing. there are so many peeves at this point in the year.
That's what I like...flexibility. And don't laugh. It just encourages them. It's one of my pet peeves as well.
Hmmm. When I think of peeves as "pet" peeves, it immediately softens them.
