The thing that vexes me the most is liars. I feel that honesty and trust are the two most important things in life; aside from love. People who lie must always be second guessed in what they say and do. Without trust, realtionships cannot flourish. On top of that, the consequences are terrible. As a child, you are either grounded or have things taken away from you for a while until your punishment is over; as an adult, you may get into trouble with the state or even the government. It is never worth telling a lie to cover up a mistake. It is always better to tell the truth, come clean and accept your initial punishment, which will surely be much less severe and grave than if you are caught in a lie. Trust can be lost within seconds, but it takes a lifetime to rebuild; even then, it is impossible to regain full and absolute trust within a person once it has been lost.
The reason why I feel that lying is my biggest and worst pet peeve and definitely my worst aggravation, is because no one likes to be around liars. It affects your reputation as well, even if you are not the one doing the lying. When you need something or ask something, you expect the truth the first time and not to have to go and make sure that what the person told you is true or a lie. This is often very time consuming and a waste of energy. these types of people, are also not very true or good friends. They are hard to trust with even the little things, and they are hard to be around for very long without getting frustrated or involved in their bundle of lies.
