I have many pet peeves and to decide which one is worse than the other is a hard thing to do. For the sake of a statement I could say I absolutely detest when a person drinks a glass of milk and does not rinse the glass out.
The ring that the milk leaves in bottom is impossible to wash out. If the milk sits for the night it gets thick and hard. The ring at the bottom is hard to reach and therefore is almost impossible to clean. You could let the glass sit with some water in it but then again you still have a dirty glass.
A dirty glass......to put the wash cloth in there and turn it is a bit of an effort. And depending on the size of glass, well, that could even make it a lot more fun. By the time you get to soaking the glass, turning the wash cloth, and going through all the motions of washing it is the next day.
The next day......to think if person who drank milk just took the two seconds to rinse the glass out I would not have to take two days to wash the milk out of the glass. What a concept, rinsing the glass out. Two seconds for two days. This is a definite pet peeve.
I hate doing dishes to begin with and then to take two days to wash one glass. It just infuriates me to think that a process so simple can be so hard and time consuming. There is the dishwasher for convenience but again how well does the dishwashere wash the dishes when they are not rinsed out. I mean, come on, we all have seen the commercials. The ones were the kids loaded the dishwasher and did not rinse the dishes. Food caked on and impossible to get off. Well milk is much worse.
I don't know if I developed this peeve at an early age when my cousin brought it up. It seems since then I do notice this little thing and it does irritate me enough that I will go and rinse the glass myself. Rinse the glass out myself....almost compulsive isn't it? I know I am not compulsive but leave a empty glass of milk on the counter and don't rinse it out. The ring of milk just sits there almost saying to me ....." I fgot this glass".
Maybe if the person would take that time to rinse the glass, they did take the time to pour the milk I could pull myself out of the urge to do it myself. That would be rinsing the glass for them. Or maybe that person should do my dishes. That would be a good thing, nailing all the people in my house that drink milk and make them do my dishes.
You know I think I just solved my nproblem and pet peeve......I could put a sign up letting all milk drinkers in my home know that they do dishes if they don't take that two seconds to RINSE THE GLASS. I could not buy milk, but I like milk, and I do rinse my glass. Then again I do the dishes too and I don't have a dishwasher. So I can say that this pey peeve of mine will probably be with me till the day I die. I will take this to my grave with many thoughts of " If only that person could have rinsed the glass".

The Education System For Immigrants
Even though education is an inseparable part of our life; furthermore, education makes a man perfect, and we can progress in our life through this system. It becomes hard to adjust to new world when you have to do many things, which you have done already. My concern is the education system in Canada for immigrants. This system makes me furious and has become one of my pet peeves.
I have done a M.A.(Physical Education) and a teaching degree in India. I was excited when I got my immigration for Canada. I want to continue my teaching profession here, too. In B.C. to get a teaching certificate is not an easy job for immigrants. The institute which issue teaching certificate is known as the BC College Of Teachers.
When I contacted them,they told me about their evaluation fee i.e, $300. Apart from this , I have to do many courses. For example, 6 credits ( English ), 6 credits ( Canadian Studies ), 3 credits ( Science ), 3 credits ( Math ), and a full time course from SFU which is for all immigrants teachers. Moreover, each 3 credits costs $ 600 and 1 year course costs approximately $ 6000. I am doing a part time job, and whatever I am earning, I am spending on my fee. I am disagree with this process.
Next, it is also a waste of time and money. BCCT wants all my transcripts from my institute ( India ), and it takes a long time. Even for those transcripts I have paid lots of money ( fee ) to my institute in India. I have original mark-sheets with me, but BCCT wanted verification from India.
In addition, in my teaching degree I have already done Math, Science, English for Elementary Level. Again I have to repeat all these courses for their requirement.
To conclude, I would like to say that this system has given me too much strain and stress. I want that those who come as permanent immigrants ( well qualified teachers ) their degrees should be recognised.
