Goodbye, Peeve Week
I hope everybody got a chance to vent now that Peeve Week is over. It’s now back to normal business, whatever that may be.

Tuesday - Cellphones

Thanks again to all the contributors. Peeve Week could not have been a success without you all. If I by any chance missed you, please leave a comment.
The Next Peeve Week?
Due to the success and popularity of Peeve Week, I plan on holding one again sometime in the future. Perhaps I’ll make a contest out of it. If you have any suggestions for topics, or how to make Peeve Week an even bigger success next time, please leave a comment.
Once again, thank you to everyone who was involved in Peeve Week.
Comment Contest Update
The people who contributed to Peeve Week racked up a total of sixty entries into the comment contest. The people who commented this week were also entered. Remember, all it takes is for one entry to win, but you have a better chance of winning the more you comment.
As of this post, there are 275 comments on this site. This means there are only 75 to go. Seventy five seems a long way off, but it shouldn’t be looked upon in that light. Just think… there are seventy five more chances for you to win!
How about a peeve category for driving next time? I think that might be the topic that peeves me the most in life. Good for building character.

Driving would be a good one. Can’t think of much else at the moment.

How about religious peeves? Ran into a good one today, in fact.

Well since religion is being thrown in, how about politics. The two things you aren’t ever supposed to talk about in public.
I also came across another one today: restaurants. So that’s four potential topics for next time.

Late reply but here I am. Thank you Ronald for allowing me to participate. I had a good writing session and it helped my writing also.
Regarding the topics, maybe peeves about stereotypes other than race and color, like stereotypes that one sees when interacting with others online, on blogs, the online world, etc.

Stereotypes would be a good one. I’m also thinking of adding in one about the Internet (blogging, MySpace, YouTube). Thanks for the feedback all.
