People who never stop playing with their hair. Both sexes are guilty of this. It's one of the reasons I can't watch Jeff Bridges movies. :(

Not an issue here, so many prefect heads and rest have hair.

People who proactively feel it necessary to post immature personal insults with their comments.

People who pick on other people. It's just as easy to say nothing, or even be kind. We need more kindness in the world.

If a person cannot properly spell what they are selling in the classifieds... I might not want it.

Well.... at least I expect to pay significantly less for it, because if they can't even spell it, how much attention have they given to its care?

One more thing: The word is lens, not lense. See the red squiggly line when you are typing? Yeah, that one. It means you're spelling it WRONG.

My pet peeve is when people set their car alarms on the ferry. Seriously, people, no one is going to steal you car! All that's going to happen is the wind will set up your alarms, and the captain will have to read out about 7 plate numbers telling you morons to go down to the car deck, and turn off you alarms. Also, what good is setting your alarm if no one outside of the vehicle deck can hear the thing?
