Dreams! I hate reading about a character's dream in a book. Just use another symbol or metaphor, but to hide it in a dream is going to confuse me. I can't think of any times that a dream helped me or enhanced a story for me.
Also, I don't like hearing real people tell me about their dreams either. Too much information about your psych. Am I the only one who doesn't like to read about dreams? Do you have a different pet peeve?
Bonnie's pet peeve today is also a good one.
