ReplyDeleteI have a higher tolerance for unwanted sounds that you.
What do you mean by "Welch"?
I think my pet peeve is channel surfing (when it isn't me with the remote.)
I have many more, but I am hesitant to post them all in fear that I will annoy someone else.
ReplyDeleteIn this case I believe discretion is the better course.
