Pet peeve.

Let’s say you’ve spent some time with someone — perhaps you’ve gone to dinner with another couple, or you’ve had a couple of drinks with them and chatted the evening away.

My beef: When you are parting ways at the end of the evening, you get the usual, “When are we going to get together again?” speech. You haven’t even finished that evening’s festivities, and they’re already pining for the next event? I know my company is invariably scintillating, but I need a little downtime before I start making more plans.

Am I crazy? Don’t answer that.
