One of my pet peeves in life is when you’re talking to a person, whether it be a friend, co-worker or family member, you give them 100% of your attention but when it’s their turn to reciprocate, they give you half of their attention.  They either acknowledge an oncoming person beyond your sight line or carry on a tangent conversation with someone else and rejoin hearing you speak when they’re through.  Have the decency to give respect to the person who sat there listening to every word you said and do the same.  It just kills me when I have to repeat what was already said; at that point I feel that the line of communication is completely and utterly destroyed.  I don’t even want to continue to speak let alone look at the person.  Don’t even get me started on those people that interrupt a conversation just to say something trivial; that’s another pet peeve for a future post.
