PET PEEVES

What are your pet peeves?

Pet peeve
A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to him or her, to a greater degree than others may find it.

I've discovered alot of things that annoy me during the past few days when I've actually read my notes for "EOS"... yes that little pink countdown beside..is for "D-DAY"..

Anyway, I've discovered that I am particularly annoyed with lecturers who:
a) Uses COMIC SANS MS in lecture notes. It's darn annoying. It's cute in a powerpoint presentation for kids party but not in lecture notes. The roundy-ness and fat-ness of that font is intolerable.

b) Wastes too much space. (Our format of presentation is usually in Microsoft Powerpoint format). What I meant by wasting too much space is NOT using extra large fonts.

BUT....

Putting a small patch of "text box" in the middle of the page with a font size of 16 or 20. Like omg. It's like an island surrounded by sea and it's amount to sink!

c)do not give us the powerpoint presentation format to download.
-instead some of them choose to give us the pdf. format which is VERY VERY annoying because we poor students are unable to edit to our own likings and they have FORCED us to print out what was "designed" by them.
For instance, a page with 6 friggin small slides!!! Empty spaces everywhere!! Hello! Please save the trees as well instead of just humans?
And again, slides with "background". Like leaves, sun, apples, templated backgrounds. Yes, it looks nice, but it's an EYE SORE to keep looking at it for the next 40 slides. It's very frustrating to read notes!

d)uses LOW quality image. I don't mind if it was distorted because it was scanned rather "creatively". But please, upload CLEAR images. It defeats the purpose to show that picture. E.G. If i have two person who have the same skin but different features on the face, I would have thought they were the same person.

Next, I am very annoyed with people who SCRIBBLE(conteng) the library books. There's a reason why it's in the library and not YOUR BOOKSHELF. It is meant to BE SHARED, which means you do not have the rights to draw at the property of the library. UNLESS, the book was wrong! Highlighting the book is not as bad as "circling" the answer for the exercise books. There are some people in the world like me who cannot afford every single book. So please, be considerate!

Okie...sorry I think i'm complaining to much. I should be studying. :P
So now, if you are reading this, what are your pet peeves?
Do share and write in the comment below.
Cheers ;)
