My pet peeve in business and politics is that we never seem able to learn from the past. No matter how many times a particular scenario has had a single outcome, somehow we manage to convince ourselves that it will be different this time around.
I guess that the almost perverse way in which we constantly delude ourselves about all kinds of things, for example while claiming individuality we desperately seek to conform, is my biggest pet peeve. People fight to achieve mediochrity, even those who might be capable of so much more.
