Did you read the "exceptions"? What it basically came down to is "the rule should only be very casually followed". As is everything else with our messy language, but nevermind that.

It's our dialect, and we naturally notice when people speak a different dialect, unless, for example, you don't speak hillbilly but you live in hillbilly land so you're used to it.

My pet peeve is when you have an amazing solve but the timer doesn't stop. Right now I'm using a stopwatch (because I don't have a stackmat) and sometimes it doesn't work properly.

I hate when people ask me "Can you actually solve that?"
Especially my 7x7.. You'd have to be insane to scramble a 7x7 if you can't solve it

I do my cubes while I commute on the bus.. I get some pretty retarded reactions
I've had everything from clapping to "That's so trippy dude!!!" *Stare at the cube for the whole solve*

Some people at school just came up to me once because I had my 7x7 out, and they said, and I quote "SOLVE THAT 12X12 WIVVOUT LOOKIN AT EET IN UNDER 5 SECONDS!!!!!!" It is the most annoying thing in the world...
And when I have a conversation with someone that goes something like this
"Get the 4 one out!"
"The 4x4?"
"No the one with 4 stickers on each side."
"It has tiles and it is a 2x2."
"Whats a 2x2?"
"The so called 4 one"
"I dont get you. And whats a tile?"
"GRR!!! <walks off>"
<The other person just mixed up my 3x3>
"There solve that. See you cant do it, its mixed up too much."
<I start inspection>
<Within a second,>
"HURRY UP!!!"
<Someone really annoys me so I say to them>
"Mix this up please? <Holding a 1x1x1>"
"No."
"<I throw it at them> Thanks!"
"I got 5 sides once but the other 3 sides were mixed up."

My pet peeve is when really amazingly stupid people think they are better than you. Plus people who drive alot slower than the speed limit.

This is weird, whilst doing a 4x4x4 avg, I was thinking about how bad this thread is (before it was bumped) because it's one of those threads which involve hatred and will probably end in a flame war... I only created to let out some of my anger...

In a way this thread is the thread for you to let out some frustration.

I've never ever seen that. I usually drive 10 to -5 mph lower than speed limit. Most people I see drive 0 to 15 mph over speed limit. Some really crazy people drive over 20 miles over speed limit and follow less than 10 ft away from the car in front of them while going at 80 mph. I dislike these situations; they are quite scary. I don't know if it is considered a pet peeve, it's more of a seriously dangerous situation.

Is this supposed to be cube related? Mine is when people say literally when it isn't needed - an example is something like, he literally shot the bird from on a train. This often happens on TV primarily channels 59 and 60 and it sounds like ****. It's obvious that the narration is speaking literally and by tacking literally on at the end they've just proving their inability to write because the the entire show is scripted. It just makes me want to call in and ask what moron wrote the script, then ***** him out.
Also when people open glass doors by pressing on the window with their greasy hands. That black bar running across the door is there for a reason.

Non-Cubing:
School assignments/homework!
People who show off a lot.
People who lie a lot.
Cubing:
When you're just about to get a new PB and your cube pops.
People who call you a "freak, nerd, etc.." just cause they're jealous.
Seriously, my friend saw me solve the cube and he called me a freak, then later on, he's like begging me to teach him how to solve it. :fp
