Adopting a pet is like taking the responsibility of a baby.
One of my biggest pet peeves is well-dressed designers. If you spend that much time thinking about your own clothes, you’re not spending enough time thinking about what you’re designing.
Like most people, I have several pet subjects – that may or may not be interesting to other people. Don’t get me started on happiness, or habits, or children’s literature, or Winston Churchill, unless you really want to talk about it.
Me going out 25 minutes early onto the training ground to practise wasn’t me being teacher’s pet. That is what I have done throughout my career.
If you have time to get your pet rabbit its own Instagram account, you have time to at least tweet about something important.
Being successful is about professionalism, and chewing gum is unprofessional. Its also a huge pet peeve of mine.
All writers have their own pet commandments.
I have a pet goat.
It’s true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy.
Pet me, touch me, love me, that’s what I get when I perform. That’s when I’m really getting what I want.
Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.
Our cat is kind dove shellfish, and thinks the world is hers, She finds a comfy spot and then we pet turtle sheep purrs.
It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don’t know how to set up their own bank accounts, they don’t know what they are spending their money on and they can’t make their own decisions.
I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now, throwing information at you, making everything available to you, and yet I feel it’s leaving us more and more isolated.
Packing is my pet hate.
Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, ‘I want to improve my parenting – let’s see how the chimps do it!’
I’m a fan of the old ‘Creature Features’ like ‘Critters,’ and ‘Gremlins’ and ‘Tremors.’ ‘Jaws’ is classic. It’s funny that I still like those films because I remember my mom would tease me about getting a pet Critter to keep under my bed.
The same regions of the brain light up when someone touches their smartphone as when they touch a family member or a pet.
One of my pet peeves about biblical epics was that the characters’ costumes always looked like they’re just out of the dry cleaners.
Chadron had a water tower, grain elevators, a tanning salon, a video rental store, a small liberal arts college, a Hardee’s, a stoplight, and a curling yellow sign in the pet store window that read, ‘Hamsters and Tarantulas Featured Today.’
One of the joys of writing historical fiction is the chance to read as much as you like on a pet subject – so much that you could easily bore your friends senseless on the topic.
My pet peeve is when people come over to my house, and there are coasters, but they don’t use a coaster.
Just because you have an exotic animal as a pet does not make you a danger or irresponsible.
I love women, but I feel like you can’t trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog’s name. Then I said, ‘Does he bite?’ She said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?’ Liar.
Cats are very independent animals. They’re very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. They’re familiar. They’re obedient. You call a cat, you go, ‘Cat, come here.’ He doesn’t come to you unless you have something in your hand that he thinks might be food. They’re very free animals, and I like that.
