My pet peeve is working with a partner who thinks that watching the "scenery" is one of the perks of the job.

Welcome back, Juulie. Where ya' been, sweetheart? Happy Valentine's Day.

Of course, when you work with Juulie, she is the scenery.

My pet peeve is when my officiating partner is a very attractive female.

You're darn right there are. And if you make a call against their little baby, they transform immediately from hot babe to somebody's irate old lady
What a bummer!

I usually scan the crowd in pre-game so I know right where to look during dead balls.
