The interviewer wants to know more about your personality and what makes you tick. When you respond with your pet peeve, it gives the interviewer insight into what kind of employee you will be and how you handle situations that annoy you. Describe your pet peeve and what you do to resolve the issue.

"My pet peeve is when coworkers do not replace medical records where they should be, and I have to search for them. When this happens, I politely ask the coworker to please file the records when they are finished with them so I don't have to spend time tracking them down. Usually, they don't realize it's a problem until I talk to them about it. When something irritates or annoys me, I like to address and resolve the issue so that it doesn't become a bigger problem down the road."
