I discovered a new one. Ermahgerd. I think it's worse than LOLCats.
Actually, anything said in a stupid voice with the intent of making it funny usually just annoys the crap out of me. Silly voices do not make a joke better.

People not washing their hands after leaving the bathroom. Seriously, I live with people who do this all the time (college), and I'm kinda skeptical about hand-shaking now. Seriously, is it that hard to take an extra 20-30 seconds and clean your hands? :15:

I was reminded of one myself recently: People who stick gum on the bottom of tables, chairs, you name it. Go to any public place, and you're bound to find a piece of gum stuck where it's not supposed to be. It's no wonder people are starting to outrule it (mainly teachers), but it makes good-willed gum-chewers like me look bad. « Reply #18 on Sept 10, 2012, 7:36pm »
#doublereply #bump #whatever I meant to actually post this earlier than now, but didn't get around to it till now. Tonight I had to drive with one of those trucks with obnoxiously tinted blue lights behind me. For half an hour. It's the second time that it's happened to me, and it's undoubtedly one of my pet peeves now. It's no wonder that there's been talk of getting them outlawed*. :01: It makes me wonder why they're necessary and begs for the question: "What's wrong with the regular White/Yellow lights?". It's just... No. If anybody else has had to drive at night with those kinds of headlights behind them, they'd know exactly what I'm talking about. It's horrid. *Unless I imagined that. I could've sworn it came up on the news at one point.

Is it odd that I actually dislike it when two people are arguing and some guy comes along and tells the two "guys, stop arguing?" I mean, one of them might've been right, but we'll never know because apparently some people stupidly think debating is wrong. Since when is arguing always a bad thing, anyway (My mom seems to think this and abuses it every time I start debating with someone)? Of course, unless it's over something stupid like personal preference (speaking of which, soundtrack wars, like over which soundtrack is better between two, are the dumbest kind of internet war I've ever stumbled over. Ugh, Sonic CD and 3D Blast, good god...).

I mean, one of them might've been right, but we'll never know because apparently some people stupidly think debating is wrong. Ah, but there's the funny thing, Chao! There can be a major difference between a fair debate and petty argument. It's probably Internet 101, too. Unless you're talking about two people arguing in public. In which case, I believe that it's preferable if somebody at least tries to mediate the situation.
Anyways. My newest pet peeve was discovered in the mall earlier today. Y'know when there's a large group of people walking in front of you, but they're too spread out for you to be able to maneuver around them? Now, try to imagine them walking at a snail's pace. It's absolutely miserable! By the time they would've reached the exit, I'd have easily been on the other side of town. You can't ask them to move aside without looking like an impatient prick, either. Doesn't matter how nice you make your request sound. It's still going to get you the infamous Look of Disapproval.

Well, I didn't mean on the internet. I mean in person, and not in public. And even then...personally, I think even "petty arguments" should have a winner or at least some conclusion unless it's downright stupid. But, that's just me.
And about your pet peeve, I agree SO VERY MUCH. Luckily I'm not out much so I don't usually have to deal with the situation myself. =p

The mighty Human Glacier of "Popular" Teens strikes again! Now imagine it on an ice skating rink. And imagine being one of those eight-year-old hockey boys who can only seem to go forward at a very high speed until they collide with something. It's BOWLING FOR TEENS!

That mighty Human Glacier of "popular" teens has now been bumped up to a "Danger to Society". For those of you wondering, it was originally a "Burden on Society". Why, you might ask? They've now discovered how to use stairways. It's a great example of evolution, but they ruin it by stopping at the very tip of the staircase, and causing the poor shmuck behind them to lose his/her balance! Seriously! As if being stuck behind them was bad enough; now they seem to be deliberately trying to break my neck.

You must mean cars that have LED bulbs instead of traditional florescent-type bulbs. These are probably used in cars for the same reason LED lights are used otherwise: they're brighter, more energy efficient, and are better for the environment. I must admit though, the blueness/brightness of the bulbs can be alarming sometimes. When someone has 'em on at night they might as well have their highbeams on for all the vision impairment it sometimes causes.

People that say they'll do one thing then not do it. It's very annoying to count on people only for them to let you down. I've been having that happen a bit lately, and it's never any fun.

People always asking to play your handheld games. I mean, sure, my cousins don't have a 3DS, but they constantly ask to play it whenever their eyes behold it (well...mostly just my cousin's little sister who gets bored when doing anything that doesn't involve video games). And that's a lot. At least my older cousin tries to convince her mom to buy her one for herself so she doesn't have to play mine. How considerate. But her little sister would rather just play mine all the time. And between her sister and me, she's infamous for erasing saves and save states, so naturally I'd be uneasy. And she's not very good at anything either.
Actually, my cousin's sister is awfully annoying in general. Boy, I really wish they had their own 3DS's for more reasons than one...

I'm okay with them being used in households and such, and even actually find it to be quite an improvement due to the brightness, but as far as vehicles go? No. What were they thinking? Even when I drive by LED lit headlights, it causes a headache. Not to mention I can barely see what's past them till they've gone by. Those things weren't made to be looked at directly, more to light up a room. They're good news for the driver, sure! But beyond bad news for other victims drivers.

These words: Irregardless, conversate, mines (is it plural or possessive!!??), and ect. I think I'd probably jump into a volcano if I had to hear those words every day.
Antagonistic humour and racial/gender/religious/sexual-orientation/etc jokes. Stop. Just stop. It's not entertaining or even remotely creative. I don't care what the cool kids say or what you heard late at night on Comedy Central.
When people pronounce Japanese wrong. I know, I know, I shouldn't care because they're obviously still learning (although, I'm still learning and I know pronunciation). But still, it gets under my skin. It's especially worse when they try to correct the proper pronunciation...
When tigers ride motorcycles in public. God, it's so annoying. At least take it somewhere else.
Disclaimer: I can ignore all of these pretty easily and they never ruin my day. I also never get hostile with people when they do these things, cause I'm not a douche and everyone wants to have a good day.

One thing that bugs me is games with music that ends in a fadeout, then starts at the intro again. Is it really that hard to cut out the loop point? It takes me 10 minutes at most to do that in Audacity...
