Example
 Blog “Pet peeves”

Title:

Example: One of my pet peeves are drivers who don't use a turn signal. It really makes me
angry. I usually ride my bike around the city and I have to deal with reckless people daily.
Yesterday, for example, on my way home, this very impatient taxi driver nearly ran over
me. He made a quick turn without using a turn signal and totally ignored the bike path.

When I yelled at him, he didn’t do anything. didn’t even look ashamed. I almost kicked
his car, but I decided against it. It is better to avoid this kind of problems. I have a family
that cares for me.

Your Turn
 Blog “Misofonia”

Title:

One of my hobbies is that I hate the sounds with my mouth when they are
chewing food or chewing gum or when they drink excessively. This is a disease
called Misofonia and it consists of a selective sensitivity to the sound that causes
a very great feeling of displeasure. who suffers? It can happen with any sound,
but it's more frequent with the almost imperceptible everyday sounds that most
people overlook, I've had several problems for that, once I unconsciously yell at a
co-worker who chewed well, (I was chewing a chewing gum with an open mouth)
and for me that is horrible, I know that suddenly sounds exaggerated but I really
tried to leave that mania but I could not.
