For the most part, it is pointless to be sad in life.
Because sad spelt backwards is das
And das not good

Re: Pet peeves
My mom and I used to have bedrooms next to each other. She has 40% hearing in one ear, and about 80% in the other because of damage from a fun wrestling match with her brother when they were kids (still doesn't prevent her having the most amazing pitch and musical ear). So sometimes I would shout from my bed "what's for dinner" and I'd get "yes you can feed the cats." so I'd repeat "what's for dinner" and she'd say "they're almost out of soft food, so maybe tear up some chicken." so eventually I'd sms her because its funny and say "WHAT IS FOR DINNER" and then she'd say "why are you shouting?"

When I'm studying I wear headphones so I can't the disturbed...

Re: Pet peeves
When I was working at Korbitec, my boss once had to tap me on the shoulder because my focus combined with the fact that I was wearing headphones meant that I had no situational awareness.
I was a bit sheepish after that.

My pet peeve is when other people won't give you privacy. When people are always looking over your shoulder to see what you are doing. it is really annoying.

Another pet peeve with Kspore
Is when some people are so behind on tevhnology, that they can't use a modern calculator (Casio).

Re: Pet peeves
I wouldn't call that being behind. You don't know how to use things you've never been taught to use. You wouldn't call a teenager ignorant for not knowing how to drive.
My dad still uses an old HP calculator that uses reverse polish notation (postfix notation, or stack calculation).

Re: Pet peeves
That not the peeve, they refuse to get a calculator that they know how to operate. They insist on using mine for some reason, and end up doing all the calculations.
And I did teach them to use it, they just seem to never remember.

My pet peeve is when people procrastinate.
But I will tell you about that later.
I also hate it when people try to be ironic!

People who start lane-hopping in traffic. You're not going to get there any sooner than the rest of us and you're more likely to cause an accident than anything else, so chill out.
Also people who can't park between the lines: did you parents not give you colouring in books when you were little or what?
