Do Tell: What Are Your Biggest Pet Peeves?
Since it's National Pet Peeve Week I want to know: what gets under your skin? (Hopefully, it's not commemorative weeks for random things like pet peeves!) I'll start you off with some of mine. - Emails that lack proper grammar and capitalization.
- Friends who take long cell phone calls while we're hanging out.

Where Do You Stand? Having Sex With Your Pet in the Room
I don't have a pet, so I never thought about this until I was dogsitting for my friend. I know it's bizarre, but I thought to myself, "Wow, I wonder if she has sex with her pooch in the room?" It totally reminded me of that scene in Best in Show, where that couple takes their dog to a therapist because Beatrice, their Weimaraner, started showing signs of depression after seeing her owners having sex.
Pet Names For Partners: Nice or Nauseating?
Baby talk among adults is a definite no-no in my book, but what about calling your significant other by a name no one else does? The nickname can be as simple as "sweetie" or as creative as "schmooky pie."
It can be conforming and natural to use a name that expresses affection for your significant other, as long as people around you don't find the constant assertion of endearment annoying.

Where Do You Stand? Overusing Pet Names
Run of the mill pet names like babe, honey, or gorgeous are really sweet when they come from the love in your life, but since they are such standard terms of endearment, it's easy to use them with your friends, too.
For example, when a girlfriend of mine was dating her now-ex-boyfriend, he would always refer to her as sweetie, but he referred to her friends as sweetie too! To be honest it creeped me out a bit — if I were her I'd want that nickname to remain sacred between us — but tell me where you stand on the idea of reusing pet names with platonic friends.
