pet peeve #1 - believe it or not.

Yes. My biggest pet peeve is electric can openers. Why did we think it was necessary to invent an automated contraption to open cans. Did turning the little screw take too much time out of our day? Did anyone not realize how dangerous and complicated they are? The can could easily fall, spilling its precious over-preserved contents all over the floor or your hand could be eaten if it’s not placed dutifully under the can as unclearly directed by the instructions (pictures please!). Maybe it’s just me; maybe I just can’t accept the fact that I really cannot master it. Actually, I know one other person hates them as much as I do, the fact that it’s my brother might be related to the fact that we had the world’s worst electric can opener growing up.
