Well im glad pretty much everyone found that funny. I know i did, because i couldnt stop laughing for about half an hour... :grin:
Anyway, i have one more pet peeve, and that is stupid people. I am surronded by them at school (incidentally im a freshman in high school, and freshman are infamous for being stupid). It also makes me mad that people just assume i am stupid because i am a freshman. I know its kind of weird, but oh well...

Regarding stupid people: they used to annoy me a lot but then I learned to appreciate qualities in people other that intelligence, I became more tolerant...

Well, i have to say that MOST of the time, it would be my fellow students. Some of them are just plain dumb. There are a few teachers that i can think of that are definately...ummm...*ponders how to say this in a nice way* ...below the bar line.

I think that we are all using the wrong word. Maybe it's not that I hate stupid people, but rather ignorant people. (that sounds less mean!) And Broccoli, I agree that even stupid people have good qualities.

Another pet peeve of mine is when my sister gets like 30 phone calls in one night, but they are all from the same 5 or 6 people. Cant they all just talk on 3-way or something?! Geez!

By stupid i meant people who act like idiots and fool about. I don't have a problem with people who are unintelligent.

I guess my pet peeve is people who think they are superior to my friends and I just because their parents are filthy rich and can afford to buy them all the designer clothes, and pay for their wrecked cars, and their speeding tickets, and their underage drinking tickets...you know the popular crowd who look down on the rest of us "mortals" because we don't where the "IN" clothes and drink, have s*x, and smoke dope. You know the type of those girls who purposely hurt the feelings of a nice "unpopular" girl just because she made Prom court, which I guess is only for "The Select Few", so they play around with the teachers and the ballot and the nice girl is taken off the Court so another one of the trashy popular girls can take her place...arrrggghhhh

...no offense or anything, but my friends and I wear the crazy, silly, anti-fashion stuff (that annoys some people) from garage sales, basements, and thrift shops because we are sick and tired of living by the standards set by these people so full of themselves that they truly believe that their own fecial matter doesn't stink. We don't wear the crazy clothes for attention, but as a statement that we don't need to where perfect outfits to be awesome people; we can wear a plastic garabage bag for all we care because our clothes don't change what is inside of us...

...I am SURE that no one in this forum is one of those nasty, backstabbing, "popular" kids, but since we were sharing our pet peeves, I thought I'd share mine...

ok...I am done now!!!!! :)

Another, huge pet peeve of mine is people who deny thing about themselves...like fundamentalists and sexuality...It's so absurd. Why should someone hide the fact that they have six copies of each harry potter book in 5 different languages (the british and american versions...you know, both english...I did my math) You should be PROUD of your quirks...and people who fight them...Oooo, makes me wanna...chop garlic really angrily. :grin:
