Pet Peeves

1. Why does my microwave oven beep every 30 seconds after the food is ready, and my conventional oven timer beeps only once?
2. The use of “bring” and “take:” A person “takes” a package to the post office, but “brings” one in the house from the front porch.
3. Grammar in general: Don’t get me started.
4. The page-turns for the organist in choir music: Editors seem to like to punish organists at page turns with registration and key changes, while the choir pauses between verses.
5. Shrink wrap: Need I say more?
