List your pet peeves.
-When people walk in my room, then leave, and don't close the door. Or don't close it completely.
-Chewing loudly.
-If I am walking in the hallways and people in front of me suddenly stop to talk to their friends. If this shit continues when I am a senior, I will toss people out of the way.
-Chewing loudly
-Chewing loudly. Seriously people, cut it out.
-"Why are you so quiet?"
-Attention whoring. You wouldn't believe the stuff I see on facebook. This guy today made 5-6 posts rambling about how useless he was, just begging for compliments. No.
-People who are easily offended.
-People misunderstanding my pacifism for being a bitch. I may not hit you but this plateful of food can still make contact with your face.
Your turn!
I have no minor annoyances(or if I do, I deal with it). My annoyances are linked directly to societies in general.
- People
- Chewing Loudly
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- Drivers who don't understand that the far left lane is for passing, and passing only
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- Mr. Pwnage
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- Talking to yourself all the damn time while you work
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- ignorance
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- Sarah Palin
- Women who don't swallow
- People
- Women who don't bring me ham sandwiches and beer on command
- Women who don't swallow
I could go on all day!

Yes, this bothers me endlessly too, my sister does it constantly.
-If I am walking in the hallways and people in front of me suddenly stop to talk to their friends. If this shit continues when I am a senior, I will toss people out of the way.
It will continue while you're a senior and it will even occur in college. I frequently find myself wanting to plow people down. Along with the "gangsters" with their "swagger" who walk slow because their pants are falling down.
-"Why are you so quiet?"
I've been asked this too, even got asked at a funeral....... My general response: "I'm always quiet"
-Attention whoring. You wouldn't believe the stuff I see on facebook. This guy today made 5-6 posts rambling about how useless he was, just begging for compliments. No.
Expanding on this, people who also share waay too much info about their personal life, like if you're having relationship issues, you really don't need to make 5 posts about it within an hour.
Some more pet peeves of mine....
-people who are incredibly close-minded(about gay people, races, religion, etc.)
-when people claim your artwork as their own
-when people repeat things from a movie right after it was just said
-when people take my food or take food off my plate without asking
-when people try to read text messages over my shoulder
-having to write pages to answer a question when it can be answered in a paragraph
-when people joke about suicide(more specifically, joking about wanting to commit suicide)
-when people interrupt you in the middle of saying something
-people who are outright rude or make big deals over little things
-when people ask what I want to do with my life(what I WANT to do and what I'm GOING to do are different things..)
-when people say something they think is really funny then burst out laughing, when it wasn't that funny. Then I feel obligated to give a little laugh.
I have soooo many pet peeves its ridiculous.... But I usually just deal with it and say nothing. Basically it's ignorant, close minded, rude, self-absorbed, nosy people... that sums up most of my pet peeves.

^THIS ALL THE WAY!!! Especially the part about "gangsters".
I'm probably just being close-minded(....), but those people annoy me to no end. Even if they're just standing there. I try to avoid talking to them and anyone acting, walking, talking, or looking like(literally, the way that they are looking at things, their facial expression) them.
I do hate it when people go slowly in the hallways. I will actually jog in place when I'm in a congested intersection and will start running as soon as I can. I really hate having to conform to other people's pace, mostly when I'm trying to get somewhere like a class that I really enjoy. Because of how frustrated this makes me, I try to be very fast in exiting my classes when the bell rings so I can get clear of the hallways and outside before they clog up. I've actually sprinted around the outside of the school twice the distance I might have walked on the inside just to be able run through the air. Ahhh...that sense of freedom...

Let's not get off topic here, militant atheism is also another pet peeve of mine but I did not list it to avoid silly flame wars.
Ignorrant and stupid people.
And since germany is flooded by turkish people who refrain from even trying to integrate themselves (language, manners etc) I dislike them too.
Might sound racist but if you lived here you'd understand what I am trying to say..

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militant_atheismJulian Baggini defines militant atheism as "Atheism which is actively hostile to religion", which "requires more than strong disagreement with religion ? it requires something verging on hatred and is characterised by a desire to wipe out all forms of religious belief. Militant atheists tend to make one or both of two claims that moderate atheists do not. The first is that religion is demonstrably false or nonsense and the second is that it is usually or always harmful."
I'd imagine one would be hard pressed to actually find someone this radical in their beliefs (or lack there of).

...please don't start a flame war in my thread. I'd expect this from ebaumsworld or something, cmon people.
-Being off by one while programing something.
-People who use words without knowing what they mean. Such as the word 'ignorant'.
-People who think people are trying to start a flame war when they're simply having a little fun.
-people who try to convert you to their religion.
(There's a reason I don't ever bring up religion with Jake's sister... lol)

True.. But I avoid it, because I don't need your sister telling me I'll go to hell and have her read me the bible.... again....
I'm a closet atheist :D
Hmmm, more pet peeves.....
-when people leave a bag of chips with just crumbs in it.
-when people brag about anything
-when parents don't tell you family plans and don't tell you about it until a few hours beforehand.
-when people try to embarrass you on purpose
-when people tattle
Is it just me who finds it funny that the woman in here has the most pet peeves?
:P
-Bullying. (Im kinda hypocritical about this as I did bulley kids in severeal years back and Im sorry for this)
-When people don't like someone due to religon/whatnot.
-When my parents over compliment me/ brag about me. (Why is this?)
-When my parents don't want me on the computer and talking to people, by chat, cause they might be strangers and pedophiles and who-knows-what. Im not an idiot I dont tell people my address and stuff.
Just a few off the top of my head.

Whats wrong with disliking someone based on their religion? It often tells a lot about that person, their beliefs, and their morals. I personally don't dislike someone based on religion, but I can definitely see the logic in it.

No, the feds caught on to that personality.
hm lets see
-people that make assumptions without logical basis
-closed minded people
-people that do stupid things over and over without ever learning
-selfish people
-arrogant people
-fake people
-people that talk too much
-holy roller types
-smug people
-people that lie
-manipulators
-greedy people
-maybe i should say people in general :P
I'll add a legitimate pet-peeve, as it is rather close and personal to me (already been questioned today by a couple of people when they read my FB post):
People who act off of curiosity, when their actions may have severe and fatal consequences for others.
What do I mean by this? I mean that if you are in an area where there are climbers (they aren't hard to spot, their the stupid ones dangling from a rock face as you walk by it), do not !@#$ with their stuff. Do not go to the top, see some ropes wrapped around a tree, a rock, in a crevice, anything. DO. NOT. !@#$. WITH. ANY. OF. IT. My buddy Dave lucked out on Sunday when some random Curious George roamed the top rope setups, and screwed with the ropes, dislodging it from its natural resting position. Dave only fell 15-20 feet and shattered his ankles. Had he been 40 feet at the top, it might be a different story. I swear to God, if I see another person !@#$ing with something that strikes their curiosity, knowing full well that it probably has something to do with safety, as though it has signs all over it saying "You need to touch me, pull on me, and move me irregardless of the fact that someone's life might depend on it", I will throw you off the face of the mountain before having someone else die because you're a moron. It's natural selection, Darwin would approve.

Well I think its wrong to have problems with anyone's religon. But some of my Catholic buddies say that atheism is wrong, and I defend Atheism (even though I am Christian) as it is what they think counts. I frown apon my Catholic friends when they hate on this Atheist kid cause of his religion. Its just something that has grown on me.
Oh and I love my parents anyway.

Oh yeah, another pet peeve:

If someones religion teaches values that go against my own morals, why can I not dislike it? That's like me saying that you shouldn't dislike the North American Man/Boy Love Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Man/Boy_Love_Association). If their beliefs are f-ed up, of course I'll dislike it, and possibly even the members who follow it.
And Atheism isn't a religion ;)
Other pet peeves are...
-Lazy co-workers
-People that fulfill their stereotypes
-People who assume I'm fat and stupid because I'm American
-People who start conversations then stop replying after 3 messages.
-People who are passive aggressive
-People getting mad when I don't like their screamo bullshit music
-Professors/teachers who think their class is the only class I have
-People going out of their way to insult Justin Beiber, even when he is totally irrelevant
-"If evolution is real why are there still monkeys"
-When people use :) or (: after an insult they think is ice cold or well thought out.
-"I could care less"
-Hipsters
-People who cut themselves/commit self harm
-People mad when I don't care about the gay kids(or anyone for that matter) who commit suicide due to bullying, something everyone goes through and gets over
-When people keep whining about women dating other men, they usually describe themselves as "nice guys" etc.
-Extremely sunny days
-When having a fun debate, some idiot always thinks we're on the brink of killing each other and goes on and on about getting along and peace
-Attention seeking

Unless you know the mindset of the person who killed themselves, !@#$ off. There are people who go through internal hell, and douche bags like you have no remorse because you think you can possibly even fathom the pain their in. Reality check, YOU CAN'T. Some people simply produce low serotonin in their brain, which is actually a medical issue, and shit like bullying and struggling with one's own sexuality makes it ten times harder to cope. Factor in the narrow minded shits in our society who don't approve of gays and you've got one confused kid who feels like the whole world hates him.
Listen to your own religion and leave the judgments to your all-loving God.

I do not approve of people throwing away their lives. And also,internal hell? Honestly? What do you think people who have terminal diseases yet NO ONE cares for them feel like, when everyone is suddenly whining and moaning about people who had a choice and where too chickenshit to man it up?
Yes I know their mindset. You act like I grew up with rich parents or something, protip: I didn't. I grew up in some poverty ridden place in Africa, before moving to a slightly less poverty ridden place(which I am thankful for). I've seen people with much worse conditions who were happy and worked very hard to improve. I don't care if some idiot doesn't appreciate their life.
Also why do you keep bringing religion into this? Do you have some kind of issue with religious people? Did you go through some traumatic incident or something? If I was atheist, ESPECIALLY if I was atheist, and believed this life was the only shot we had, I'd be totally disgusted by the acts of these kids.
tl;dr they took the coward's way out so I don't care.

You both should know better.
QuoteListen to your own religion and leave the judgments to your Holy, loving God.
Fixed, but otherwise truth. We are called to "follow me"(not me, Jesus). Some Christians take a hating stance against sinners. That is the popular image of Christianity these days and turns many people away because we have gained a reputation as bigots. Nobody has asked anyone to endorse the lifestyle those young people led. 'Not caring' is not a good stance to take. It can easily lead to 'I don't care about you if your views differ from mine', which is wrong.
"They took the coward's way out..."--No comment is necessary on the method of their death. Sadness only that they died unsaved and have an eternity of suffering ahead of them.
Back on track.
A few more of mine:
-Something I am frequently guilty of: Using your intelligence to make fun of people.
-Taking advantage of politeness. This one really ticks me off. As an officer's son, I have a fair amount of politeness/manners ingrained to my behavior and what really ticks me off is when people take that as an invitation to walk all over me. Usually bigger guys too, so I can't go around fighting them or anything to get them to leave me alone. Which leads to my next one.
-Taking the fact that I'm civil enough not to swear at you when you say "Hi" as a signal that I want to be your 'bestest buddy'
-Wandering off or drifting off when I'm trying to have a serious discussion with you. A friend of mine whom I love dearly is most guilty of this. He'll walk off or assume that a pause in my speech to think means I'm done talking with him. When I have to run after him to talk with him, it makes me feel like I'm just somebody who he really doesn't want to talk to, but is too nice to say that. It makes me feel as though I'm guilty of the second point mentioned above.

You're young and naive, so I don't expect you to understand the pain that depression can cause. After all, it's hard for people to care about someone when they see no physical signs of torment. Whether or not you approve of a person throwing away their life is negligible, but as a human being, the fact that you don't even care about their death is just a sign of egotism or ignorance. You can not fathom what they are experiencing, therefore it is absolutely stupid for you to say they are "too chickenshit to man it up". That's equivalent to you getting kicked in the balls, and therefore claiming that you know what it's like to have a baby. You can't even comprehend the pain, so stop trying.

This has nothing to do with being rich or poor. In fact, you're more likely to be depressed if you have more money. When a person commits suicide, their mind is in a different place. They don't see the world like me and you in that moment. All they see and feel is hell. They're not idiots... They have a chemical imbalance in their brain that stops them from feeling good about anything. A coward does not kill himself, a person who's not in the right mind does. these people need our love, understanding, and psychological care. Not to be scorned by assholes that have no idea what they're going through.
QuoteAlso why do you keep bringing stinto this? Do you have some kind of issue with religious people? Did you go through some traumatic incident or something?

I'm not religious, and I'm not atheist. I was a blindfolded Christian almost all my life but years of research and soul searching led me down a different path. If somehow those pearly white gates are real, I wonder who God will have pity on... The man who loved and cared about everyone, or the man who judged everyone when it wasn't his job.
Either way, I'm out. I'll end up ripping my hair out if I continue.
Cactus: I needed to say what I did.
Jackabomb: Any God that creates suicidal kids and then punishes them for their actions by sending them to a place of ever lasting torment is no loving, holy God. I also find it interesting that humans have the ability to show more compassion than the Christian God.

This has nothing to do with being rich or poor. In fact, you're more likely to be depressed if you have more money. When a person commits suicide, their mind is in a different place. They don't see the world like me and you in that moment. All they see and feel is hell. They're not idiots... They have a chemical imbalance in their brain that stops them from feeling good about anything. A coward does not kill himself, a person who's not in the right mind does. these people need our love, understanding, and psychological care. Not to be scorned by assholes that have no idea what they're going through.
QuoteAlso why do you keep bringing stinto this? Do you have some kind of issue with religious people? Did you go through some traumatic incident or something? If I was atheist, ESPECIALLY if I was atheist, and believed this life was the only shot we had, I'd be totally disgusted by the acts of these kids.
tl;dr they took the coward's way out so I don't care.
I'm not religious, and I'm not atheist. I was a blindfolded Christian almost all my life but years of research and soul searching led me down a different path. If somehow those pearly white gates are real, I wonder who God will have pity on... The man who loved and cared about everyone, or the man who judged everyone.
Sigh I'll just PM a response, don't get your panties in a bunch sir.
Now that those two little girls have finished their little bitching fest, my pet peeves are:
- People who chew with their mouth opened.
- People who claim they are in trouble because of their race.
- Groups of people who decide to chat in a main pathway, even when busy.
- People who wait inline to be served and haven't even thought about what they want to order.
- People who talk about you behind your back.
- Preachers.
- Tone-def people.
- Trolls.
If me and Dan get along great, and we have different views of religion and scientific theory and cults, why can't the rest of you? Exercise an open-mind, and become socially aware. Learn, research, ask questions, stop to think for the moment. Stop being extremists to your own religions and beliefs. If you're going to attack someone else's religion, do it with respect. Do not criticize it. We're all old enough to differentiate right from wrong here, and its an honest shame that its me telling this to you guys. (Remember Trollin' DC?)
If you guys can accept others' beliefs without hard feelings, you not only give your religion and belief a good name, but become a better person. And in every religion and belief, being a good person is the right thing. Stop thinking about the differences, and think about how to get along. Forget your egos. Stop being ignorant.
People that think and respond in this post like they way some of you have are my biggest pet peeves.

Sums it up perfectly just one extra thing, I don't like people who force their beliefs onto other people just because they think they are right, people can think an believe what they want and its up to them if they think its right.
-Religious people who think their religion is right (yeah okay, thats fine) then try and make everyone else believe the same thing.
-idiots who have no view of the world around them. My teacher called me a nutjob for being a buddhist, i almost sued his ass.
edit: People who hate others for no logical reason. (i do this myself)
Example: I have a severe hatred of anything GOD RELATED (well, the jesus and god anyway, not like hindu gods)
and americans. Both illogical, i know many awesome americans and christians/catholics/anglicans/other types of godpeople.
yet i still do, mostly playing games aswell.
also @Jake: Queue scotty refering to "gay kids going through inner hell" part with a "Yeah you'd know about that!" joke.
Yeah Jake would know all about putting those gay kids through inner hell alright, all too literally in a graphic sort of way...

Jake gave you enough bullshit for this, but I would just like to point out that disliking suicide and not caring about gay kids are two completely different things. I personally do not approve of suicide since during my 4 years in high school, there were 3 kids who committed suicide and I saw the effect it had on the entire school. But that doesn't mean I think those kids were stupid and that I don't care about them. They went through struggles I couldn't even imagine and while I don't think suicide was the right choice, my heart still goes out to them.

I definitely care about the people who are bullied. I think bullying is a terrible thing. I don't care about people who were bullied and killed themselves.
Also, some more:
-People playing music loudly on buses or trains
-People going "awkwaaaard!" during any moment of silence in a conversation
-Arguing with the teacher and holding up my class time
-Teachers giving too many oral presentation assignments
-When people have to insult some personal thing of mine because they can't think of anything else. Like if they suck at arguing they have to insult me instead of what I'm saying. It's called an ad hominem or something
-"I live for the nights I won't remember with the people I'll never forget" or any variation of this. Please stop trying to make getting piss drunk at a party and !@#$ing every other guy some kind of way of life
-When I see godwin's law apply in real life
-lolcats
1.People who never stop talking.
2.Hipsters/Rednecks/Gangsters/Redneck gangsters.(Seriously I live in Vermont, I could deal with the Rednecks maybe, but the gangsters and redneck gangsters wearing carharts and fitted hats, work boots, and a xx-l gangster t-shirt piss me off)

:O But they're so lol-worthy! I found a book at Barnes & Noble full of just lolcats xD
That drinking thing reminded me of another pet peeve of mine...
-When people try to get me to do weed. (No one has offered me other drugs, but you can bet I'd turn those down too). This bugs me endlessly, because their reasoning to try weed is always flawed.
Them "Why not try it?".
Me "why would I want to?"
Them: "Because it's awesome"
Me: "Jumping off a bridge would also be awesome until you hit the ground"
Them: "It relaxes you and makes you think more clearly about things"
Me: "yoga & music do the same thing for me, why would I pay more money to relax & think more clearly?"
It also makes you lazy and get the munchies, so why would I want to waste a bunch of money on 2 things that I heavily try to avoid?
No it doesn't kill brain cells, no it's not chemically addictive, no one has ever died from weed.
But none of that changes the fact that it's illegal, a waste of money, and hence why I never want to try it, because I don't WANT to like it. Overall, I just really hate peer pressure...
/rant
Surprised I didn't put this one earlier as it's one of my biggest pet peeves.

Wut? I would never put 'because it's illegal' as a reason. Think about who you're talking about.

That is probably because they are moronic to start out with and probably have dabbled in other drugs. And it makes them lazy so they never learn anything, thus making them more moronic.

I know you wouldn't, but it still reminded me of you.
And yeah, I'd agree with Alex. There's people who smoke weed, and then there are stoners. If you let something like weed control your life, you're probably not too smart to start with. As for weed making people lazy, I disagree with that. It makes lazy people lazier, but I know hard workers who smoke every day of their lives and have been for at least 10 years(two of my old bosses).

Well then, if we are going to play the game of facts, why not examine the paperwork at the other side of the table. I'll just quote directly:
Addiction:
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlLong-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which make it difficult to quit. These withdrawal symptoms begin within about 1 day following abstinence, peak at 2?3 days, and subside within 1 or 2 weeks following drug cessation.
Mental Effects:
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlHigh doses of marijuana can produce an acute psychotic reaction; in addition, use of the drug may trigger the onset or relapse of schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals.
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlA number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and schizophrenia. Some of these studies have shown age at first use to be a factor, where early use is a marker of vulnerability to later problems. However, at this time, it is not clear whether marijuana use causes mental problems, exacerbates them, or is used in attempt to self-medicate symptoms already in existence.
Yep, inconclusive results must mean it's not bad for you right?
Effects on the heart:
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlMarijuana increases heart rate by 20?100 percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug.
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlThis risk may be greater in aging populations or those with cardiac vulnerabilities.
Effects on the lungs:
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlNumerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50?70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which further increase the lungs? exposure to carcinogenic smoke. Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer;8 however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract cancers.9 Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time.
Quote from: http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.htmlNonetheless, marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, and a heightened risk of lung infections. A study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers.10 Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.
The facts speak for themselves.
Oh, and throw out that mamsy pamsy argument about how this is off a .gov website. Go ahead. Not like they aren't going to reference their own studies when they determine the legality of it. That would just make sense wouldn't it?

Of course marijuana has withdrawal effects. So does coffee, alcohol, fast food, and cigarettes, all of which are completely legal. In fact, caffeine has been known to cause around 7,000 deaths per year, which is 7,000 more deaths than what's attributed to marijuana. What's important is the severity of the withdrawal, and there are multitudes of studies that show alcohol is a much more addictive substance with a much more severe withdrawal.

Albeit with this one, and others, it is hard to gauge effects since many of the rockers of ganj that they studied also consumed various other substances (ie drugs ie cigarettes, alcohol, etc...).
It's funny, with how strongly the government tries to make marijuana out to be an evil, dangerous, and addictive substance, that they would post inconclusive results on their website. The website http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000228 (http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000228) takes a large amount of studies conducted by different universities, and concludes the following: "The psychological effects of cannabinoids, such as anxiety reduction, sedation, and euphoria, can influence their potential therapeutic value.
Those effects are potentially undesirable in some patients and situations and beneficial in others. In addition, psychological effects can complicate the interpretation of other aspects of the drug's effect."
It's not a black and white issue at all. Some studies on the website suggest that it can trigger mood disorders, while other studies conducted suggest that it can help them. Regardless, this begets the fact that alcohol is also the cause of many mood disorders, with apparently no studies suggesting that it can help any of these disorders.

You know what also increases the heart rate to that extent? Exercise. And just like when exercising, it only has the possibility of triggering heart attacks in people who have problems with their heart. Other culprits of this include alcohol and caffeine. Marijuana is also known to lower blood pressure.

I guess no one has ever heard of a vaporizer. It filters all of the smoke, and allows you to suck up pure THC. Using one completely negates the bad side effects of letting smoke enter your lungs. Either way, marijuana does not contain arsenic, carbon monoxide, ammonia, butane, nicotine, and it doesn't increase your blood pressure or cause lung cancer, all of which cigarettes do. Marijuana users also generally do not chain smoke, and it's not physically addictive like tobacco.

Hahaha, are you talking about the same government that used monkeys to see if weed killed brain cells by putting a gas mask on their face and pumping in massive amounts of marijuana smoke for 30 days? The determined cause of death was... Wait for it... lack of oxygen. Then, as proof that marijuana killed brain cells, they tested the monkeys
after they were dead. That government, right?

The facts speak for themselves. Also, watch The Union (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9077214414651731007#)
I think he was just referring to the fact that Scotty is being delusional.... but I'm not gonna put words in his mouth.
Also, I have watched The Union. Yes, it partially changed my view of weed as a whole, but has not changed my wanting to try it, because I still think it's a waste of money. I'm still waiting for someone to argue on that point.
We have also gone heavily off topic here. Could probably start a separate topic for that discussion xD
To be more on topic:
-My photography teacher giving us 2 days to shoot at least one roll of film(36 pictures) of specific landscapes.
-when my sister constantly borrows things so often that they end up staying in her room and I have to dig through her room to get them back

Yeah I misunderstood Chris :/
No one can convince you to like something you don't want to like. Also realize though that smoking weed and spending money does not go hand in hand. I've smoked weed well over 30 times and never spent a penny on it.
-When a teacher punishes the whole class because a small percentage was acting up.
Less marijuana talk, more pet peeves:
-When people don't move their legs on a crowded bus if I am walking past, then get mad if I bump into their knees
-People arguing with bus drivers(this idiot tried to start a fight on the bus and I wanted to clothesline him into a volcano, he was kicked off though)
-People bothering me to look cool/entertain their friends
-People getting mad over sports when I style on them
-People droning on about how much they'll pray for something/someone, but don't do anything more than that
-Pascal's wager
-'"You only use 10% of your brain" and other incredibly stupid myths
-Stoners not shutting up about how high they got
-Women saying they date nerds, when by nerds they mean attractive hipsters with glasses and a hitler youth cut
-People who hurt themselves for attention, I have a friend with trichotillomania(he is dealing with that shit yo) and I don't see how he can handle it when people go on and on about their cuts
-Star A students going "I so failed this test!"
-People bragging about how little sleep they got last night
-When (usual) cockbags stop acting like a cockbag for 5 minutes so they can try and convince me to let them copy my work
-Napoleon Complex's
-Those tit curtian dresses women wear. It is fine when you're pregnant, but other than that what the hell are you thinking?
-Extremely skinny jeans, and I mean so skinny I can see the outline of your kneecap
Half of these happen to often to be simply pet peeves.

Here's an interesting question... What benefits come from legalizing pot? There's no conclusive studies (... legitimate... so far as I know) where it is scientifically proven to help, so why introduce a new narcotic to the states? You can even throw in references to prop 19 if you need to scrape.

Why is this? Animals are cute and innocent.

As much as I love animals and I am all for not abusing them or not making fur coats out of them, it's difficult for me to care more about animals that people. Of course I love my dog to death and I'll be heartbroken when she dies, but the life span is much shorter than a human beings, and they cannot speak to you(although have some forms of communication). Where as you can share deeps thoughts and feelings with another human and get to know them over most of your lifespan. That, and I still eat animals. So yes, I love animals and we should definitely not take them for granted, but at the same time I would love to tell PETA to just STFU already. Obama swats at a fly and you want him to apologize? Go hang yourselves, you're useless.
more pet peeves :)
-When driving through the parking lot, people don't look when they cross the road, and they walk slower than molasses in January.
-people who can't comprehend the use of a blinker
-When fast food places don't give you all the food you ordered/give the wrong food
