    On the subject of math whizzes, I hate the ones who are legendary with academics but cant logically think their way out of a paper bag.

    Although this has nothing to do with math whizzes I have recently discovered a new pet peeve:

    Gap Commercials.

    I know it sounds weird but sometimes I fall asleep with my tv on and the worst thing to wake up to is the sound of a crappy Gap commercial with horrible dancing, and even more horrible clothing.

    There is two kinds of geniuses: the one's whose parents force them to read years ahead of their curriculum(i'm here), and those with IQ > 150, group 1 is common in high school if you went to high school near a good uni., and group 2 is randomly and much morse sparsely spread.

    Pet peeves:

    People who walk slowly.

    People who don't want to confront you, but crack jokes about you within hearing distance.(chucking chairs at them works)

    People who complain about being stupid but don't actually work.

    Personally, I never talk, and when I do it's always to provide myself with amusement, I act smart, or I act like a pothead or I act like an asshole. In a way I am exactly what many people said they don't like, but I'm not ignorant of the fact that i'm not making any friends.

    People who renounce everything they once were because of one argument presented to them by someone with basic facts and no real research.

    I'm in the first category Caultron. But that doesn't mean I'm a genius... reading ahead in Math and English and even Science a few years does not make you a genius. Well... maybe. But I'm certainly not.

    What I always thought of as a genius was someone that was incredibly smart with out trying. Anyone can study for hours and hours and get good marks in a test. A genius is the person that doesn't need to study because they either already new everything that was being tested (with out working or studying extra) or they don't need to study or revise at all for it and they still get the best marks.

    Afrojack, I tend to do that. A lot. But I guess it depends how many facts and how convincing they are. I guess it is stupid... but my mind seems to work like that. I can remember several instances where that's probably happend. But I'll work on it. :)

    Your words fall on deaf ears, (I'm looking at you Afrojack).
    Please, people, a little modesty never hurt anyone. I'd rather not read endless pretentious rants.

    There is nothing wrong with taking your time. Too many people are in a hurry. Always frantic.

    Your closet. Please clean it, I can't move.
    People on college campuses who walk on the freaking bike road! I have had many near collisions with these idiots. And no, they are not crossing, they are using it as a sidewalk.

    1. People who are in honors English, but CAN'T SPELL!!!! There's this one kid in particular who can't seem to spell anything right. I swear he's got to be faking just to try to be 'cool' or something. Which brings me to...

    2. People who act dumber than they are to try to be 'cool'

    3. People who have no common sense

    4 Hell, just people in general!

    5. School counselors who want you to join stupid ass clubs because they think you're mildly depressed and need to make more friends and 'broaden your horizens'- Fuck you Mr. Leece! I do NOT want to join the Service Over Self (SOS) club!

    Just have sex, video tape it, and drop it in his faculty mail box.

    Say "check *time you had an orgasm here* on the tape and see just how incredibly happy I am"

    Well, probably a bit too much info for the counselor, but it might make him back off. . .

    I'm not losing my virginity just to piss the school counselor off, Giovanni, but I have to admit it would be hilarious.

    Pretty much, losing your virginity on tape might just make him more persistent, lol. Funny, yes, helpful...Not so much.

    I hate people who don't seem to be aware that there is such a thing as punctuation. You don't need to be a native English-speaker to know that a sentence ends with a fucking period.

    I hate postwhores. With a passion.

    I hate new people who spend their time licking older members' boots. I must have done a bit of asskissing too when I first joined, but at least it was more discreet and short-lived.

    I hate bizuts. Those are people in their first first year of medicine studies, and they all need to be shot.

    ^ that was not what I was referring to. In fact, I haven't even seen Austin Powers, but I am still fully aware of that Joke; which neatly leads me to my next pet peeve:

    People who ruin quality TV shows, films et cetera by constantly quoting them to the point that I loose my sanity.
