Pet peeve: people finishing my sentences A short vent. I hate when people complete my sentences for me. Half the time it's incorrect! I was taking with an acquaintance and they finished my sentence with "...income? Yeah, I know that feeling." Um, no, I was going to say "because of 'location'" but whatever. I wish people had more patience when it comes to verbal communication. Talking feels like a race sometimes and I rarely get a word in.
