Kaymyth she/her Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 1 hour ago, bleeder said: UNITE TH- UNITE THEM! Father, no! OK, but serious pet peeve: When people are like "Dude are you gay" and I'm like "nah man my bar door swings both ways" and they're like "wut" and I'm like "I'm bisexual" and after a moment of concentration on their part, they conclude "so... you're gay?" or even worse "no, you're just confused"/"it's just a phase" (The bar door thing is something my best friend came up with, she made me credit her) Since everyone's onto the baseball euphemisms right now, you could try saying, "I'm a switch hitter." It might make the point more clear. But seriously, bi folks get a lot of crap from both sides. It's stupid.

Orlion Blight he/him Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Another pet peeve? The Lol, jk ending a lot of horror movies have. You know, the conflict is resolved, but wait...No it wasn't! That was a bald faced lie, and now Freddy is driving your school bus into a gorge. It's just terrible. 1
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 adults (but are in actual fact children) that make a mess and expect someone else to clean it up. Rawly, and sorely, vexed -.-
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Nonprofit organizations that send out packages—not letters, packages—to residents in faraway states, asking for donations. Case in point: Today I received a package from St. Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota. For those of you outside the US, here's a visualization of just how far that package had to travel: Spoiler The package contained….. stickers a blank birthday card a blank "thinking of you" card address labels a 2017 desk calendar a 2017 pocket calendar a dreamcatcher an unaddressed return envelope two pre-filled donation forms a letter informing me of the dire straits those poor, poor Lakota children will be in if I don't donate So I googled them. Spoiler Hey, guys? You ever think that maybe if you used some of your money to—just spitballing here—actually help the people you claim to help instead of sending condescending letters to strangers, you wouldn't be so strapped for cash? 1

Similarly, when someone asks a teacher a question and they disguise the fact that they don't know the answer by replying with the answer to the question they wished the student had asked instead. It's okay to not know the answer to a question. Pretending you do because you want to preserve your authority is not.

Closely related to politicians, except politicians aren't supposed to be teaching you. closely followed by "I'll look up the answer" and they never get back to you. 1

Stick. she/her Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 My teachers go like 'that's a good question. Go home, research about it, and we'll discuss the answer tomorrow lol'

Zathoth Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 When people skip through songs. Ok, fine, I get it, you need to have a party right outside my window, I dont need to like it, but fine. The latest top 40 hits (are there even 40 songs on the radio these days?) are annoying as they are, but make up your mind which one you want to listen to and dont give me a minute of each! 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Customers who act like you're an idiot because you asked them to clarify the quiet thing they said. Example: "Is there something I can (mumble mumble) the screen, (mumble) can't see it." "What's wrong with the screen?" *leaning in, speaking slowly* "IT'S DIRTY. I WANT TO CLEAN IT." Well excuse me, Princess of Mumbleville. I didn't know I was supposed to have supersonic hearing. 3
