What are your college pet peeves?

<p>

</p>

<p>…close your door?</p>

<p>And on the car thing, as far as I know drivers must yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk. There’s even a sign. Yet cars will continue to just speed on by.</p>

<p>Oh, how could I forget… My roommates music! Indie/Techno is not what I want to hear at 7:45 in the morning when I am getting ready for class!</p>

<p>

remind your roommate of the beautiful new invention called headphones :)</p>

<p>People who make excuses for not doing something because it’s “awkward.”</p>

<p>-when people drive by fast with there music on full blast and they dont stop to let you cross the street. its a school zone!!!driving fast doesnt make you cool!!!</p>

<p>My pet peeve? People with too many pet peeves. </p>

<p>Its so interesting how people can get riled up with the littlest things-- sometimes things they cant do anything about. LOL</p>

<p>Guys spitting in the damn shower when they’re in the stall next to you and there’s only one drain.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>When you can’t find an available computer in a computer lab (which there are not enough of) because half the people in there are asleep on the keyboard, facebooking, or watching youtube videos.</p></li>
<li><p>People who get everyone on an elevator to jump as it’s reaching a new floor. Sure it’s fun to do, but nothing will ever happen.</p></li>
<li><p>People who get to lecture one minute before it starts and just ** have ** to sit in that one seat in the very middle of the room, and they squeeze through your row making you have to stand up and move your stuff so they can get by.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>People who are juvenile and call you names…they act like they know you. What the F is their problem?</p>

<p>People who wonder why they are doing poorly in a class…BECAUSE YOU DON’T STUDY OR EVEN COME TO CLASS!</p>

<p>People in college in general. Two more semesters and I’m done with this 'ish.</p>

<p>I only read the first few pages, but so what if someone wants to take an elevator from the first to second floor? Are you that impatient? It only takes a few seconds for the elevator to stop, someone to get off, then continue on. An elevator is a privilege that EVERYONE in the building has, so if someone lives on the second floor and wants to take the elevator, deal with it.</p>

<p>Don’t you get it? They’re superheroes. They can’t be slowed down by these plebeians who only need to go up one floor! They have to get to their lairs so if they need to go save lives, they can quickly fly out the window.</p>

<p>Ughh. My roommate yawns like a ****ing hippo or someting. Idk. She insists on opening her mouth as wide as possible and making the loudest yawn/sigh sound I’ve ever heard. Yeah… I hate noisy yawns, especially when people make them during a lecture. It’s so rude.</p>

<p>Re: the elevator issue… I actually find it really annoying when someone goes to the second floor (especially when there are 26 floors in the building), because a) that’s just the laziest thing you can do and b) yes, you are slowing down the elevator. It’s just such an unnecessary waste of time. How out of shape/lazy do you have to be to not be able to walk up ONE flight of stairs? And I’m not talking about people who are on crutches or who can’t physically go up stairs, I’m talking about able-bodied, young people in their early 20s not having enough energy / whatever to go up a few stairs.</p>

<p>It’s not about us being impatient, it’s about the other person wasting everyone’s time and promoting laziness. And yes, it’s a “privilege” that everyone shares, but just because you’re given the ability to do something doesn’t mean you have to / should. I technically have the privilege to blast music when my roommate is doing homework, but does it mean I should? (Two separate issues, I know, but I think it serves its point.)</p>

<p>^ I look 100% in shape. And a size 3, for an idea of how small I am (aka I’m not even close to fat).</p>

<p>You would have no idea that I have days where I am physically incapable of climbing stairs.</p>

<p>So you have no clue who is “able-bodied.”</p>

<p>

<p>Layperson, you should’ve read these before you posted. Unless you are one heck of a stalker, I don’t think you know everyone’s life story inside and out.</p>

<p>On topic: Exams right after break are </3…</p>

<p>^Seriously. I have four papers due the week after thanksgiving break, two of which on Monday. Then I have five due the next week, and another due the week after that +3 exams, and then another exam the week after that. And my last midterm was only like two weeks ago. ■■■.</p>

<p>^ don’t get me started…</p>

<p>GAA!!!</p>

<p>when people try to be “cool” by riding their bike with no hands, and i end up not being able to pass them for fear they will drift into my lane</p>

<p>or when people walk 3-4 next to each other and block entire lanes, causing me to have to go in the other lane and almost get hit and get dirty looks from people</p>

<p>basically a lot of *******y stuff on bikes</p>

<p>I’m not going to read 7 pages of posts. I doubt anyone does.</p>

<p>I’m aware that not everyone who’s physically handicapped doesn’t look so, I just honestly didn’t think about it. You guys are right, I’m sorry. What was in my head when I wrote my reply was people that I’ve seen around doing able-bodied things and who come to the elevators with their friends pushing and shoving each other, then getting off at 2. </p>

<p>Really, though, guys, there’s ways to reply to comment without making it an attack. I’m not an a-hole, so don’t make me out to be one. This is a “pet peeve” thread, there’s bound to be people who don’t think when they vent–that’s pretty much what venting is. You can always calmly reply with reason instead of making me feel like crap.</p>

<p>I appreciate your acknowledgment of the issue, Layperson.</p>

<p>Here’s another pet peeve… coming home for break and realizing your family have become massive bigots while you were gone. I want to go back to school. :(</p>
