Re: Pet Peeves
1. The sound styrofoam makes when it rubs against stuff. It has the same effect on me that nails on a chalkboard has on most people. Shudder.
2. Internet speak. I mean, is it really that hard to spell stuff? A sentence like this irritates me: "LOL. But srsly, brb I gtg cause my bff is on the phone ROFL." Ugh.
3. Dived. Dived is not a word. It is "DOVE" like "I dove into the pool." But every single book i read its "Then he DIVED out of the way." And then I dont want to read it anymore.

1) Toy poodles (I mean come on! They're not really dogs! All they do is yap.)
2) People who tell you that they know everything
3) Someone calling a rock a mineral or vice versa

I'm sorry! I don't want my spelling to be bad...it just is. Texting-speak does bug me though. I mean, how hard is it to add on another letter?theoneandonly wrote:1. Incoherent posts on forums and message boards due to poor grammar and spelling.
Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

Re: Pet Peeves
1)People who use "lol" excessivley and randomly. (I swear to it, I saw someone type a sentence with it in there at least 4 times.)
2)Posters with faces on them. (I think the eyes follow me.)
3)Pop culture garbage, such as the Jonas Brothers or anyone else that got their singing career from Disney Channel.

Re: Pet Peeves
1. Stupid people. They're so annoying.
2. People asking me to say something in Danish as soon as I've told them I'm part Danish. Or making a bad pun about Danishes, and they all think they're being original when they do it.

Re: Pet Peeves
1. When a person gets a better score than you on a test and they act like it's a big deal because they're "dumber". Seriously, one test better than me and you start bragging? What if I bragged every time I got a better score?
2. The dived/dove thing gniessisnice was talking about.
3. People that think they're good at something but they really suck.
