And I can see the reflection of their screens on their glasses so I can see it not note taking.
Doubly pisses me off when they come by after class or during office hours to ask me a question that the class spent 30 minutes discussing but they were busy texing with friends.

ta? yeah, it would bother me, too, if i were a ta or professor.
 
People who won't shut up when they know I don't care about what they are talking about.

People who play my video games, have no freaking idea what they are doing, and screw it up. (One of my sister's friends broke my Guitar Hero controller for my PS2. I am SOOOOO pissed right now:mad: )

People who drive SUV's when they have no intentions of using it for what it is built for.
 
People who wear those bluetooth cell-phone thingys' in their ear. I'm sure it's convenient for the poeple who do, but I just feel that most phone calls are just not important enough to have one of these things in your ear all the time. I guess the next step is surgicaly implanted cell phones.

People who carry small animals as fashion accessories, usually some kind of rat-like chiwawa, ala Paris Hilton.

New words like "pre-owned". "Used" is a perfectly good word to describe things that are used, like used cars or used furniture.
 
  1. People That leave the toilet seat up
  2. Common people - I just hate the way they speak
  3. Loud people - Why can't they just talk quietly
  4. When I have tidied my room, my sister throws stuff on my bed from her bedroom thinking I would like that stuff i.e. she just wants to make her room tidy.
 
The person on the freeway throwing their cigarette out the window; and as the sparks fly off it, I'm trying to manoeuvre around it so I don't get my tire burned.
 
Start printing an essay, leaving the room only to return to see that the printer had no paper in it.
Bad breath.
REALLY noisy phones and annoying ringtones.
The people at gigs who hold their old video phones in the air trying to record a really pixelated crummy video, blocking the rest of us from doing the same :p .

We don't allow cell phones at all. Although, I've confiscated several this year.

And, when they ask questions that were answered twenty minutes earlier, I always point out that they were doing something else instead of paying attention. I then tell them they can come by after school for remediation.

Love fighting the apathy... :rolleyes:
 
...very late to this thread

a pet peeve i have is when someone slams the door on the seatbelt

calling my dog (shih tzu) a **** zoo instead of the proper shee zoo, or sheed zoo

anything on tv or the movies regarding or "representing" the law, courtrooms, cases

people who are so-called ufo experts who show up on the history channel
 
"No Trucks" signs placed at a point way too late for me to see before turning onto said restricted road.

People who think they know everything about my job because they drove a rental van once, or tow a boat/car trailer/travel trailer on occasion.

Commercials on the radio announcing the they are in the middle of X songs in a row. If they would just shut up and play the music they wouldn't have to tell you!

iSaint, your school/students are far more enlightened than mine--I could never get away with that!
 
Teachers who talk about something, look at your raised hand, go on to another subject, and when they finally pick on you, they get angry for not staying on topic.

People touching my hair unless I let them.

Long finger nails.

Old Anime.

Thats all that comes to mind......
 
Being late for anything and people who make me late.

In fact it annoys me so much that if I'm less than 10 minutes early I think I'm late :eek:

I beg to differ. It's pronounced "shee tsoo"
 
a. When Blackhawks fly overhead right in the middle of a good movie.
b. When people driving Humvees forget that they aren't in a civilian vehicle anymore and hog the road
c. When people bash PCs and don't even come to the fight prepared and base their "facts" on emotion
d. As it's already been mentioned earlier, but people who use !!!!! or ???? one will suffice

...I'll add more later, to lazy right now.
