July 01, 2008 - Los Angeles - Everybody has a favorite gripe, but Steve Levin, CEO and co-founder of Pet Peeves LLC, didn’t realize how many until he invited people to post theirs on his web site. In less than six months more than 50,000 folks sent www.mypetpeeves.com 179,000 things that tick them off. These include:
Men who look at other women
When my cat jumps on my dresser and knocks my tv down
Drive-thru order-takers who talk too fast
Bosses that want you to work late on Halloween
Grocery cart wheels that don't turn
When my hair gets tangled up with my chewing gum
Finding my cat trying to use my computer
People who won't tell you when there’s broccoli stuck in your teeth.
Finding egg shells in my potato salad
People who use their cell phones in the bathroom
Dogs that stay up all night
Nose picking drivers
Boys that play with a football instead of me
Finding the office coffee pot empty AGAIN
“We are excited that fans are using the website to voice their opinions on a variety of subjects and get instant feedback,” said Levin. “And there are more fun and community-building features on mypetpeeves.com.”
Over 50,000 user-created blogs and comments have been created on subjects ranging from politics, driving, rude people, to the price of gasoline. “It has been interesting to watch the community of self-named ‘Peevers’ offer helpful advice to many of the complaints that pop up on the website,” said Levin.
The website visitors also have the ability to post their individual annoyances in the “What You Said” section on the website. These posts cover thousands of subjects, and the database can be easily searched for a particular annoyance or issue. Additional features on the website include contests and polls to vote on your Pet Peeves®. Visitors can also watch animated short videos, read the celebrity column and view photos of celebrities with their favorite pets.
