Perhaps my biggest pet peeve is when people get a flu shot, then a stomach bug, declare the flu shot useless, then refuse to get it the next year and endanger those around them unable to get the shot. That shouldn't happen enough that it's developed into an actual pet peeve, yet here we are.
Even if it cuts your chances of getting sick by 10%, it's odd to not get it. Putting the health of those weaker than you at risk because you don't like needles or don't want to get mild symptoms is completely your right – but it says a lot about you.
