Just to make sure all my annoyances on this page relate to my inevitable trip to deaf town: songs on my iPod that for some reason are over double the volume of the rest. I have sound check on for a reason Apple.

Even with that it would take ages to become deaf because of the music. Take it from someone that has 1 deaf ear.

People who use "but" incorrectly. For example, "The building was grey but tall." It's such an easy thing to not know but I notice it all the time and it pisses me off so much.

It was still better than last year's.

I'm sure I've complained about this before, but how any youtube video's comments descend into idiotic religious and political arguments. If I wanted to read about how Obama is a socialist muslim nazi, I wouldn't be watching a Team Fortress 2 commentary.

So much this. It's like, "I don't see what your poorly constructed argument against theism has to do with this Batman parody. People want to end internet anonymity solely so that they can punch wannabe trolls like you in the face".

That is assuming that they're all trolls, of course, and not just that one guy.

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2012!

Being graded on my notes. My notes are unorganized, sloppy, and essentially useless to a second party, but they help me ace my tests and I can form webs of ideas with only two or three key words. "Correct note-taking" just isn't for me. I feel like I'm being put through a meat-grinder, like learning cursive again.

What grade are you in where they're grading your notes?

I know that won't make me deaf, but it still hurts my ears to hear something that loud.

College Literature.

Damn, usually I don't take notes at all. I used to be great at memorizing everything, now I lack the sleep to do it, but my memory is still sufficient enough. Luckily this year we haven't gotten any grades for notes yet. And I hope we won't. Second year of high-school here.

when someone doesn't understand sarcasm.

The fact that when I am supposed to do something, I can't really concentrate on it and get distracted. Like now. Have spent 5 hours doing a presentation, most of that time procrastinating and being distracted...

This.

 

It can also make it funny though.

Same here. :cry:

I spent a lot of time being Distracted too :P Though honestly, I'm a chronic procrastinator myself, should really do something about it. Eh, I'll get to it some time.

I actually can focus very well at the beginning of something. As time passes, everything else becomes attractive.

 

I was getting in assignments a day or two after they were set. Now I'm handing them in just before the deadline >_<

Significant Figures. They have to be the most unnecessary thing ever.

There is a point in that if your say building something, or 'doing science', you can't have results that are more accurate than your least precise instrument. But I would agree that it largely just exists to make everyone's lives less fun.

How do you figure they're so unnecessary?

The logic behind having such strict rules is stupid. If I have something that's 11 cm long and I add something that's 11.5 cm to it, I have to round and say it's now 23 cm long.

Well yeah, theres a difference between 11 cm and 11.0 cm.

I only really began to appreciate sig figs in university... in high school and college/cegep they make your life a living hell (unnecessarily, like you said).

Unless you speak almost entirely figurative language. I cannot communicate with half of my family because I speak figuratively rather than literally.

 

When it comes to sarcasm, I find it annoying when someone points out what they said was a sarcastic remark. It ruins the point of using sarcasm in the first place. It doesn't help that most who happen to do that cannot detect it when it comes from others. :wall:
