Non-religious pet peeves

[fluttershine]

class mates who won't shut up when the teacher is trying to make them listen.

THIS. I hate it when people will not shut up when the teacher is talking.

Freezing cold shaving cream in a nice steamy shower at 6:30 am

Freezing cold water in a nice, steamy shower when some asshole on the same boiler starts washing dishes.

That right there is my biggest pet hate by far. Or house mates eating my food.

I've got a cure for that: when living with a couple girlfriends, we had guy friends next door who would continually come over and, being typical hungry young guys, raid the fridge. It annoyed us to NO end. Finally, whenever we cooked or baked anything decent that we didn't want them looking at, like an awesome pasta dish or triple-chocolate brownies... we'd put tinfoil over the top of it, and put a post-it note on it that read something like 'tofu sesame seed surprise', or 'whole grain vegetarian crunch'.... and our food NEVER got touched.  Oddly, they never figured it out.

GODDAMNYOU STUDENT LOANS 

I feel the need to express my annoyance so strongly that I build this rage comic.

In the UK student loans are given out by the government. You pay them back through your tax over a 25 year period. You don't start paying them back until you're earning over £24,000 PA and then it's like £20/month and taken out of your wage at source. If you never get a good enough job to pay the loan off what is left after 25 years is written off.

Ironically what I can actually classify as a pet peeve (and not a major annoyance on society) is other people's pet peeves.

Like some of the things my sister gets annoyed at. Like she flipped out once over somebody wearing sunglasses inside and went off on a long rant about it, and I'm like "Why does it even matter? Geez!". Or my guy friends who are obsessed with vehicles and when we go places together they always have to make comments about everybody's cars and modifications they've made to them. Perhaps it's just because I couldn't care less about cars, but I also wonder why they feel so compelled to comment on this stuff all of the time as it doesn't even matter!

When my brother talks about cars, I just smile and nod.

Honestly I'm a guy and don't get the whole car thing. or sports. I just have a lack of caring.

Oh, if only Canada was like that. Nope. You have 6 months after you graduate from your program and, come hell or high water, they're after you.
You used to be able to declare bankruptcy if they were completely ruining your life, but you can't now until you've spent at least 10 years paying them off (not that I would anyway, but still)..

Getting them is frustrating and paying them is frustrating.

That's what we need.

Our loans are from the government and we can postpone them no end, but they (almost) never just go away. A small part gets written off for every passed exam.

[The Magic Pudding]

The system here is similar to what Tank described, there is no write off after 25 years, only after death.  I think the debt is supposed to represent 25% of the actual cost of the course.

my one
and biggest
pet peeve is:
they're, their, there

makes my hair stand to see them used incorrectly-and I'm not even english

I am the same way. I only ever correct my own grammar; never anyone else's. At times, people have gotten mad at me for correcting my own grammar. Those people became another pet peeve for me.
