<p>overbearing mothers. not mine, thank goodness, but other people’s.</p>
<p>Other mothers who are concerned about my grades…I made the severe mistake of putting a copy of my transcript in my Chinese textbook; my Chinese teacher opened up and commented for a long time on it. It was not fun.</p>
<p>Teachers who are way too lenient and let their students walk on them. </p>
<p>Guys that suddenly got “hot”, are unfortunately aware of all the attention the hoes are giving them, and become obnoxiously cocky and condescending.</p>
<p>Oohh… in response to kman’s comment: I don’t like it when other mothers (well, parents in general) compare their children to others in terms of grades. It gets kind of irksome when you hear other parents say, “Why can’t you try hard in school like that kid over there?” You feel bad for the kid being criticized.</p>
<p>Girls that are so shy they run away from any nonwhite male who approaches, only to fall head over heels with the first white guy that talks to them. (This is in reference to a very specific Asian in one of my local bands.)</p>

<p>PETA is a prophet of peace? Someone doesn’t read the news.</p>
<p>hehehehehe… true</p>
<p>They have blown up how many CA inhabited edifices again? 30?</p>
<p>kman,</p>
<p>Beats me. They just ain’t “peace prophets.”</p>
<p>You know what ticks me off? People who can’t use a computer. Not old people (different category of annoying), but 20 somethings who can’t figure out how to turn on a computer. </p>
<p>Oh, and people in offices who hum and/or sing at work. SHUT THE F UP!</p>
<p>I can’t stand when people whine about filling up their vehicle and paying $25 for gas, yet have no problem spending $45 at a restaurant.</p>
<pre><code>People who buy brand new vehicles when they could buy a similar used vehicle for practically half the price at a used car lot.
</code></pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or better yet, people who don’t realize that I’m paying over $40 to fill my 11 gallon sedan. Yay Japan.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, this can make sense. Consider that many used cars offer AWFUL warranties, and all of a sudden spending a little extra on a new mid-sized sedan sounds good if/when the bloody thing needs work.</p>
<p>Also add on the fact that financing/leasing is usually much easier and cheaper on new cars, and it does make sense at times. Particularly with higher priced sedans and SUVs.</p>
<p>-When people would ask me back in Nov or Dec where I was going to college. Goodness, can I apply first. And if they wanted to know where I <i>wanted<i> to go or where I was applying then they should’ve just asked. </i></i></p><i><i>
<p>-When ppl type a series of exclamation points and accidentally have ones in between.
Ex: “yes!!!11!!” I know it’s stupid but it still annoys me.</p>
<p>-When ppl misspell definitely as definately.</p>

<p>pgedufailedme,</p>
<p>Oh man, I can’t agree with you more on the “definately” people. Gah.</p>
<p>but “defiantly” as a misspelling is, at least, amusing.</p>
<p>UCLA, a vehicle has such a dramatic depreciation rate immediately after driving it off the lot. One may as well purchase the used vehivle because it is much cheaper.</p>
<p>“Or better yet, people who don’t realize that I’m paying over $40 to fill my 11 gallon sedan. Yay Japan”</p>
<pre><code> Come back to the good ol’ US of A then. I can assure it is not as expensive here.
</code></pre>
<p>Justinian,</p>
<p>I realize the depreciation. However, nobody purchases a car as an investment…EVER. You have to therefore minimize loss and frustration. I think it was JD Power who once said, “Purchasing a used car is purchasing someone else’s problems.” This is particularly evident in higher cost sedans, where even though warranties are fairly generous, may not cover the large range of problems that arise.</p>
<p>Leasing, however, is still probably the best decision if you look at it from a pure cost-benefit analysis.</p>
<p>Oh, and as far as coming back goes, I plan on it. But don’t speak too soon. Gas is already consistently over $3 a gallon in LA and SD.</p>
<p>And Japan, unlike CA, actually has a mass transport system that enables one to be able to get around inside most cities without much use of personal cars. Outside of them, however, I don’t know too much about how the system works.</p>
<p>The point of the matter is that I become angered when people complain about money, yet have no problem spending $40 at a restaurant.
And as Kman said, there most assuredly are transit systems in Japan; in addition, I imagine that the traffic in this country is horrific so using the metro would indeed be easier.</p>

<li>Cheerleading regulations that won’t allow squads to do stunts</li>
<li>People who say cheerleading is strictly for girls; you need the men to hold everyone else up in order to execute the stunt, especially in pyramid formations…</li>
</ol>
<p>Men are definitely needed, kman1456. Is your school’s cheerleading team only for girls?</p>
