    I guess this means I'm hosting pet peeves again... time to necro the hell out of this.

    I hate teachers who do nothing but give you busy work, especially English teachers who make you define narrative vocabulary as if I don't know what "plot, metaphor, simile, character, and etc" means. Totally don't know what all the words are, totally didn't know them since the fourth grade... makes me want to smash some ceramic vases...

    Bread. Why does it have to go moldy so quickly?

    A pet peeve of mine is how you can order balance (So Translate gives me) for your personal public transportation pass, but you'd still have to go to a physical machine to get it put onto your pass.

    An extreme pet peeve of mine is when the person writing my schedule keeps putting me down OUTSIDE of my available time, I keep getting scheduled way too early and I can't make it to work.

    Edit:
    I realize now that I really hate it the whole "breakfast for dinner" thing, I mean someplace like IHOP is easily an exception because everything you order comes with pancakes. Going to McDonald's for breakfast at 8 pm? That's just annoying, it wastes everyone's time and we can't spend five minutes every time someone wants an egg (because McDonald's doesn't understand that an egg shouldn't take five minutes to cook).

    Moths. I open my window in the evening for five seconds (it's too hot during the day to air my place) and thirty-six billion of those winged menaces invade my place like it's D-Day all over again. The autonomous republic of Surenustan will no longer tolerate such gross violations of our national borders!

    Blatant anachronisms in TV. The 13th Warrior is a good example of that (still like the movie tho) - 17th century plate armor in an 11th century movie? Read a goddamn book before you make a movie, damnit. (Pure fantasy settings such as Lord of the Rings get a pass here)

    The public's general lack of common sense.

    Mouse pads. I break these all the time and I don't even know how.

    *mouse pad catches on fire*
    The lack of research is a problem, such as the false belief that greatswords are too heavy for "normal" people to wield. You've seen me, I'm pretty small and skinny, not a lot of muscle, yet I've held a greatsword before and know for a fact that they weigh like maybe around 10 pounds (definitely less than this, but fairly close), it's quite easy to handle.

    I hate how most dubstep artists basically became Skrillex and no longer make "good" music, just a bunch of noise and random clips of people screaming something nonsensical. I miss the old dubsteps and metalsteps.

    Shitty people. It's almost as if they're incapable of comprehending right and wrong, it boggles my mind.

    Welcome to the club, people are awful these days, more concerned with their phones, their cars, and their money than other people. They'd rather pay someone to feed them, rather than make their own food.

    I'm not concerned with all this crap, if I had the money I'd like to fund a get together, it seems a shame for us all to limited to a forum right?

    Surely folk could adapt to the reality of posters rather than the imagined, yes?

    You'd think people could work along side reality, instead of killing other people by texting and driving. I swear one day I'll vanish and there will be no way you'd be able to tell what happened (I died by dumbass in imaginary land with a car).

    You know what really grinds my gears? Poor or confusing architecture. Y'know, when people think that the exterior of their building should look like the physical embodiment of a headache. Here's an example of a building that's supposed to look like crumpled paper. Granted, it does, but it kinda does my head in.

    After being back in school for three weeks, I've remembered how much I despise people who disrupt class for the sake of disrupting class. There's also the (very much minor) hatred for those who are turning a blind eye to the progression of technology. I've gotten into a few arguments with someone who is still stuck in the past.

    That has to be the ugliest building I've ever seen. Destroy it... NOW!
    I've been complaining about annoying people forever now, they'll never grow up, just a warning.
    I'd be the one getting run over.

    I hate it when my job gets a new manager in charge of the store and they can't do anything and nothing ends up getting done, so we have to bring in our old manager to fix everything and get things ready every week or two. Then to add more to it, this new manager thinks she is the "shit" and starts threatening all the other employees, now everyone's angry and they all want to quit.

    I'm literally going to complain about uni students again. They're so loud and annoying.

    at the same time I shall keep moaning on about public transport and my school's administration, because the ride never ends.

    So the past few weeks about 10-15 employees quit at work, no one likes our current GM and they all want to leave... I literally have the store on their knees because I'm the last like 5 grill people and I've stopped working weekends so they have no one and keep begging me to work for them.

    Pan you're being silly :)

    Did I mention I'm slightly aggravated because I don't have a singing voice? It'd be a good time to have one...
