On the topic of pet peeves, I agree with Tom Loeb.  I have another peeve 
probably not shared by
many.  I play bass -- bass sax, that is.  Often the person putting together 
a set will put me on
stage along with another bass instrument -- string bass, electric bass, 
tuba...  and I feel like the
proverbial fifth wheel.   I won't step on the other bass player's toes by 
playing a bass line, I
am not needed as a front-line player, so mostly I sit there and feel dumb 
and useless!

Best regards,
Meg and Big George
