Sample transcript¹

 

Robin²: What are some common pet peeves⁴?

Maura: Well, a friend of mine really hates when people chew and eat with their mouth open.

Robin: OK.

Maura: …when they are eating but their mouth is open and you can hear what is going on in there and maybe they are talking at the same time.

Robin: That’s definitely one of my pet peeves too.

Maura: Yeah, so some pet peeves are really common and they bother or annoy a lot of people but pet peeves are kind of individual, like some thing that is my pet peeve³ that really bothers me, maybe is something that doesn’t bother you Robin, right?

Robin: Absolutely, it all depends on the person.
