What are things that happen at college that bother you like nothing else?
- People who shave in the bathroom and fail to rinse out the sink
- When you're depending on the bus to get you to class and it ends up being full
- When your roommate locks his key in the room and you have to come to the rescue

(seriously. almost turned around and smacked the girl behind me today)
- When the bus ticker at the bus stop says that a specific bus will be arriving in 2 minutes and then a few seconds later it switches to 12 minutes. What the heck?
- People who talk in lecture hall when you are trying to hear the teacher speaking.
-People who are lazy and lack ambition then wonder why they are failing
-Roomate crying all night long and acting like your crazy when you ask if she is okay
-People who just run by when you are holding the door to be polite
College is not what i expected. There are some disturbed people out there.
-the occasional person who sleeps through their alarm and the whole floor can hear it
-people dumping their leftover soup in the bathroom sink and leaving vegetables in the sink
-people not knocking before coming in my room when my door is shut. specifically one guy who always comes by to talk to my suitemate and always makes some ******y comment, so i closed my door but one day he just opened it and said something then left.
-people not saying thanks when i open the door for the left
-when i say hi to someone i kinda know to not be rude, and then they just keep walking and dont say anything
-people who get to drunk so that public safety has to come help them
Or when a kid is running towards the bus because they are going to be late for class and the bus driver closes it on their face and drives off. Or when a bus never comes!!!! Or after waiting 30 minutes in the bitter cold, the bus comes, goes to one stop, and decides to go "Out of Service" when you are desperately trying to get back to your dorm at 12:30 at night so now you have to wait another 20 minutes for a bus.
Actually, most of the things that peeve me in college is the transportation. The buses suck and they keep getting worse each year
Ahh this annoys me. My chem exams are always on livingston campus until 11:40 pm and at least 3 buses come past and are out of service
Bikers who think that they have right of way and get ****ed whenever someone crosses their path. You're on a BIKE, not in a car, chill out.
People who take forever at the salad bar in the dining hall.
Online homework.
Rude people on busses who see that the bus is clearly filling up yet they place their backpack on the empty seat next to them.
There's a girl in my class who interrupts the professor at least three times a day to "refine" whatever point he is trying to conceptualize. Students like that, I would just love to say: "You know what, since you're such an expert, why don't you teach the class?"
I've never had that happen now that I am at my university. Maybe people are too intimidated. I hope so, they should be.
edit: oh wait i know what you mean now i kinda thought of **** as an actual word... eehehe
anyways,
#1 - people who DON'T WASH THEIR HANDS after peeing holy **** i always have to paper towel open doors because i at least rinse with water after everytime i pee and man what's the point of washing if you're just gonna get ***** fingers again
#2 - people on bikes who don't yield for pedestrians at crosswalks, people on bikes who ride at >15 mph on sidewalks and always shave right past you so many opportunities for hurt there, people on bikes that can't coast
#3 - public/communal bathrooms in general - after ~20 years of practice, you would've thought guys would learn how to aim, huh?
#4 - people who smoke and kill my brain cells because i suffocate having to hold my breath
People who are loud at night in the dorms is probably my biggest pet peeve. Usually they arent, there arent parties in here or anything, but people don't seem to realize when they are walking down the hall at 4am that there is a person sleeping four feet away from them just on the other side of the door, so, you know, it would be the non *******ish thing to do to talk quietly. Or I live next to the lounge with the piano in it and people play the piano late at night.
I wouldn't have mind the piano playing at night if the person didn't play the SAME FREAKIN' SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Jeez Christmas! I wasn't crazy about the song "Don't Stop Believin'", but now I truly hate it -_-
