Things That Annoy Me:
-Cars that overheat when you really need to be at work, and then the mechanic has no idea what the problem is, but will probably charge a lot for it anyway.
-Students who think that "I have no idea what's going on here," with an implied "and I don't feel like looking it up," is a reasonable way to leave off a written argument.
-Students who appear to be convinced that "I have no idea what's going on here" implies "nobody knows what's going on here."
-Students who, in a psychology paper, write that "there is no book that tells us how the mind works." Admittedly it doesn't have the complete answers, but there is one listed on the syllabus.
-Windows Vista
Bonus Thing That Does Not Annoy Me:
-One student actually made an allusion to Frankenstein, accurately describing what happens in the book.
