Pet Peeves

[pcharles93]

Here's my list:

1. People who think all Asians have mystical powers like in all those early martial arts movies.
2. People who blame my good grades on my being Asian. As if that affects anything at all, I just pay attention in class.
3. When people score higher on one quiz and they yell out "Yes!! I beat an Asian!! I am the smartest one in the class." I simply pwn them in the next few tests and they never utter those words again.
4. How people think that knowing my number entitles them to 24/7 access to my knowledge base.
5. When people walk up to me with various pieces of technology and ask me to fix them. Usually they do something stupid like change the language or drop it in the water. It never requires dismantaling. I want to dismantle an iPod so much.

People being amazed is okay. But OMG HOLY **** HOW DID YOU DO THAT OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! makes me want to hurt people.

That's quite true. It can be quite annoying, but the first one, you can sometimes use to your advantage. I don't mind 4 and 5, but 2+3 are quite annoying.

-people who are amazed when I solve a cube

Why? Why shouldn't they be amazed? I know I was before I learned to solve one.

Okay I'll change it to overamazed like "omfg that was so insane omg omgomgomgomgomg!!!! "

 

[DavidWoner]

1. People who stereotype
2. People who judge others before they get to know them.
3. When people touch/take my cubes without asking.
4. People who think they know what they are talking about when they are really clueless.
5. barbeque that is not from Kansas City.
6. People who think that Kansas City is in Kansas. I know its an easy mistake to make, but come on... KCKS population=146866, KCMO population(plus people in suburbs who say they are from KCMO, like me)= a little over 2000000
7. Yuppies. i went to a private school that was half yuppies, so i am perfectly entitled to hate them.
8. people who intentionally use bad spelling and grammar in their written speech, e.g. "OOOO SNAPP! DAT WUZ KRAAAZYYY!!!!

a lot lot lot lot lot lot more, but i am too lazy to post right now.

Edit:
9. People who Give lessons for ACT/SAT other standardized tests. these people are scum, they serve no purpose and do no help to anyone. a $30 practice book will do you infinitely more good than one of these jerks.
10. Guinness book of World Records. dont get cubers started about GWR...
11. Youtube flamers.

 

[Escher]

1. racists, homophobes and disablists are at the top of any list of people i hate.
2. David Cameron (UK conservative leader)
3. inflated ego's. anyone who has brains knows it never pays off to blow your own trumpet too much.
4. people who are ignorant
5. stubborn people. how on earth do EVER know that you are completely right?
6. generally right wing people. i can see the economic argument but the social side that often comes with it is infuriating.
7. people that will refuse to talk to you on the grounds that you aren't cool enough to talk to them. kinda links to 3.
8. people who hate the cube.
9. drivers that dont indicate.
10. people that dont thank you when you give them right of way
11. people that think that the music they listen to is the only good music around.
12. people that confuse facts and opinion (expansion of 11)
13. people who think that being a 'boff' (or nerd) means that you cannot possibly have a social life.
14. anyone who doesnt like radiohead.

lol i dont really mean the last one... thats a comprehensive list of things that annoy me... i know that i do them sometimes and i really kick myself. and i think i have to agree with a lot of stuff that ive seen here. i just dont want to spend hours doing this

 

[brunson]

People that harbor pet peeves. GTFOI.

11. people that think that the music they listen to is the only good music around.

[Odin]

I hate stereotypes too when i do good in school or speed solve i hate how every one is like "OMFG OMFG you must be asian to solve that cube so fast"
or when they "dis" my race "wow (my name here) i thought the best thing mexicans can do is make a taco"

heres 2 more (non-cube related)

There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.

nah the dutch is ok its just a awsome quote from austin powers

 

[fanwuq]

Type D cubes.

A few more:
People who think that they are all that and a bag of chips.
TV shows that think they are funny, but they are just really annoying.
Random people who walk up to me and ask questions.
People who like the Cincinnati Bengals
Rap music from later than the 90s
People who think that soccer is for [insert insult here]
The US
Stupid people
People who make a lot more money than they should (football players, baseball players, rappers, etc.)

I know I had another, but I forget it.

This thread is so old but...

Cubing: People who demonstrate corner cutting of cubes on youtube and do reverse corner cutting the wrong way. (Say, do U 40 degrees and corner cut with R turn then they do U' 40 degrees and cut with R' and think that's called "reverse corner cutting".)
Non-cubing: Slow drivers in the left lane who force me to pass them on the right.
