on pet peeves - it irks me ALOT when people have absolutely no insinuation of what is basic courtesy. and im not even talking the higher-order levels of courtesy (if there is a paradigm as such) like clearing the table after use, or blowing your nose in the washroom (ahem, Royalties call it lavatory).
im talking about "thank you-s". i think its VERY basic, and no matter how abominable a person is, if you borrow something from that person, a thank you should suffice. After all, no feelings are nor should be involved in this undertaking - its pretty much a transaction. Therefore, it is only congruous that since you gained from this transaction, the lender deserves some form of obvious requital.
and it would be presumptuous to assume that because "we are so familiar/close" therefore no need for such pleasantries. sure, to some extent that is true but since its classified as a pleasantry, why not remain steadfast in being "nice" to those closest to you instead of being nice to the many "others" who don't really matter. well, on the other hand, im not advocating one to be a total barbarian to everyone else.
besides, keeping all the words inside and the mouth shut gives you bad breath. HAHAHA
okay fine that is quite mean, but i choose to account that to hormonal imbalance so there. ahhhh feels so cathartic writing it down and flushing it outta my system.
YAYNESS.
