Post any and all of your pet peeves.

Here are my top 3 pet peeves.

1. Losing marks in school for interpreting a poem wrong... the questions explicitly tells you to do so "In your opinion". I should be able to write whatever I want that relates to the question. Why should I lose marks for having a differing opinion??

2. When all my favorite Indie bands wind up on MTV

3. Teachers making you read out loud when you specifically tell them you have a sore throat and are really sick


and another for good measure...

Crutches... It's bad enough that people stare forever because of these things but I can't seem to have a conversation without my crutches coming into the conversation.

When people ask me how much my bike is worth and the usual response goes something like "You spent how much, on a bicycle?!?! You must be either rich or stupid, a bike is just a bike." One time some little puke walks into my garage, when I was rawing one of my frames, points to my DH rig and asks me how much it is worth and he gives that same answer as everyone. I proceed to explain what DHing is, to this puke, and his response is "That's not a sport, and doesn't take any skill, it all gravity!" When he said that my blood boiled, I really wanted to pour the paint stripper I was using to raw my Fixie frame all over his pimply face. One of my biggest Pet Peeves

Ya lots of people don't understand how biking can be fun... Heres an actual conversation I had with some guy

Him: Hey, what are you doing today??
Me: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go biking.
Him: What?? Why?? don't you have a car?
Me: Yes... I do have a car.
Him: Well then why do you need a bike?
Me: Cause its fun to rip through trails and hit jumps
Him: Thats what everyone did when they were ten... set up the plywood on the driveway.
Me: *Gives a "your a dumbass" look and leaves*

People think bikes are for kids or if you need to get somewhere and can't get driven... I have just given up explaining to people why its fun

1. People who use the rest of the toilet paper and don't replace the roll.
2. Someone who leaves a little bit of whatever and then puts it back in the fridge.
3. People who eat/chew like morons and you can hear them from the other room.
4. The sound of someone other than myself clipping their nails (nasty and gives me goose bumps).
5. People who say that they will do something and drop the ball (I hate incompetent and stupid people).
6. Getting a speeding ticket even though I have a Valentine 1 radar detector but they pull me over anyways because I drive a nice car.
7. Line ups at the bank or anywhere in general for that matter.
8. Old people that can't drive or just take forever to do something.
9. People who can't make up their mind as to which way they are going to go when you are on the same path. You always have to stop or do that "stutter step".
10. People who don't cleanup after themselves.

All 10 of these are tied and in no specific order. I hate them all.
