Pet Peeves-Post Here
« on: September 02, 2010, 08:40:04 pm »
Pretty self explanatory, post any pet peeves that you have here if you want to.

Here are mine
1: Speed of TI-BASIC
2: RAM clears
3: being woken up too early
4: those irritating people who never leave you alone

I am interested to see the replies

Mine-
1: forgetting to predefine functions in c (and other stupid errors like that)
2: not being hungry at breakfast time, and then being starving by 10:30
3: self-righteous/smug people who constantly try to have ethical debates with you (similar to guy's #4)
4: getting points taken off of quizzes/tests for not showing enough work
Naaa... Na Nah Na Nana Na Nah... Hey Jude!

it's also one of my pet peeves, but it does make sense. what if someone didn't study, peeked over at his classmate's answers and just copied them down without work?

I would think eventually they would figure out that some of us do the problem so fast we cant show work, and know who we are.

Well, now, that depends on the class size.  In a small class, that's possible.  But it's a fine line between cheating and not.  I will usually do a few problems with work, to show I understand and know the concept, then do the rest usually without it.

My pet peeves:
1. The showing work thing.
2. When people don't drive the speed limit.
3. When people automatically assume you don't have a clue what you are talking about, and say that you are wrong repeatedly.  The only time this is not a pet peeve, is when it is in math class.  Then, when they are wrong, it is wrong. period.  So, I can just sit back and watch until they figure it out. ;-)
4. When people are really arrogant.  (Honestly, the reason that this is a pet peeve, is because I do it too sometimes, and I don't like to.  So I am trying to stop.)

1. Getting points taken off math quizzes/tests (all subjects, except english, at that) for mispelling things
2. Reading novels (I could read math books, programming stuff, science stuff for hours, but novels...)
3. People who only know how to use 4 functions on a graphing calculator

Figured I would finally answer. Some are repeats.

-Getting marked off for spelling in subjects other than English/writing/etc. (I mean, really?)
-Getting marked off for not showing enough work when I know how to do the problem but doing the work slows me down.
-When I make stupid mistakes when programming.
-When people don't listen to my suggestion or an idea or they just take control or something.
-When people use the word "retarded" for people who are just not smart or as a word to describe something (an adjective, if you will).

I'm sure there are more but that's just off the top of my head.

1. the points taken off for lack of shown work.  really, in like 3rd grade, i would get points taken off for things like 7*13=91   The teachers want me 7*7*7*7... and so on.... come on teach.  its easy math.

2. people who only talk to really dumb people so they get called smart (regardless of how much an idiot he/she is).  Then he/she feels that he/she is really smart and talks to us smart kids acting as if we are dumb for not knowing words he made up...!!!!!

3. People who can't figure this math question out in under 10 sec in their head. ( it took my math teacher over 40 min to figure it out in math class.)
   what is the smallest integer x can be in this equation?   (2^x)/6

4.  trolls.  they are mean and smelly.  (in real life too,  most football players here...)

5.  bomb threats that cause you to miss math class cuz. you are sitting outside for over 2 hours in record high temperatures.  ( no going to get water, restroom, or shade....)

6. people who pass you at 60 mph on 20 mph 2 way roads.  ( really happens to me.)  (on a windy road too.)  (windy as in curvy)

-When you ask a teacher a question and they assume you know nothing about the topic and proceed to lecture for 15 min. on a topic everyone knows.
-When people assume I'm not always right. :P j/k
-Teachers sitting there showing kids how to enter data in lists (in junior year) while you sit with the points already plotted, playing Mario

1- happened yesterday in FST class. i think we all know how to make a stem and leaf plot as sophomores and juniors, am i right?
3- happened two days ago in FST class. except it was Raylin's Gravity instead of Mario.

- when your FST teacher tells you something is impossible on your calculator, and then you accomplish it. happened today in FST class, go figure.
