Pet Peeves 1

I think every once in a while I'll insert a pet peeve or some question about human behavior in here.
Why do people always say, whatever you want is fine with them, and when you act accordingly, they complain?
For example, when we want to go to a restaurant, my husband tells me, "We'll go where you want." When I suggest a name or two, he says he doesn't feel like going to those places. So, a while back, I started passing the buck back at him by saying, "You choose."
Now he asks, "Why do you always make me choose?" Well, guess why.

Another pet peeve: Why do Paula Zahn and some other hosts talk accusingly to -or rather at- the people they are interviewing? I'd like to see more of interviewers' ethics in play with hosts, probably a la Larry King.
