I can't tell if you're talking about gas prices, or if this discussion is entirely unrelated. If its gas prices, you may open the spoiler. If it isn't, then ignore this post.

ö¿ö
Didn't think that post would spark such a conversation. o.o
Another annoying thing: Driving in snow. D:
Snow doesn't really bother me all that much, but people who drive 20 mph on the highway in the snow do annoy me.
ö¿ö
I prefer not to drive in snow, which is why I avoid driving.
@Cyn: the recent spike in gas prices was caused by Libya's 2% of oil output being stopped (irrational fear ftw). Though gas prices are already high, the fact that their that much higher is Lybia's fault. BUT, as an oversight on my part, we should probably be blaming capitalism, for making irrational fears into enormous price shifts.
Wouldn't it be ice on the road that's annoying? I can't drive, so I wouldn't know, but I like icy roads, because it means no school
If snow's thick enough on the road you can slide without ice. I know from experience. >_<
Okay, well like I said, I can't drive, so I wouldn't know. But either way ice = no school, so it's not all bad :P You know what I find annoying? My classmates that won't shut up!
I feel like the worse the weather gets, the worse the drivers are.
You know what's annoying? STUPID PEOPLE
ö¿ö
Stupid people who don't understand the directions given to them but won't ask questions, so they end up making a big mess. Yes, very annoying.
There's some girl on my Facebook who brags about buying a new car every year or so.
I don't want to seem like a jerk so I haven't said anything but I want to ask her how she feels about the world she is creating for her son to grow up in. All the pollution created from the fuel consumption; the environmental refuse from the tires, parts, metal, etc; and the waste of money on the cars, maintenance, gas, taxes for the roads.
I'd probably go on such a rant I'd end up making her cry or something and I'd feel bad.
Yes, but wouldn't you be just as much of a jerk to the planet if you didn't say anything? Kidding. I'd just hate to see the day when Earth runs dry and we move on and suck the life out of Europa (Planet Jupiter's moon).
Which reminds me, when doing current events in 9th grade, my Science teacher kept on taking off points because I said "Planet Earth" instead of just "Earth". That really irritated me. First of all, you'd think that she'd have more constructive things to do than search my paper for tiny things to take off points for. Besides, isn't current events more of a social studies thing? Also, I find it necessary to give respect to the planets. I told her that, and she laughed. Then, I started using only her last name (without Mrs.). That really irritated her. She didn't take off points for that again.
Wow. That sounds like a stupid teacher right there. Speaking of stupid teachers, my music teacher told us that we had to play instruments for a Christmas play for a project. The stupid part is that she didn't give us the sheet music for the FIVE SONGS that we had to play until TWO WEEKS before the play. For those of you who've never played an instrument before, that is not long enough to learn five songs (maybe long enough for one or two). We were terrible, but she still marked us high, fortunately.
I suck at sight reading! Also, they were hard for me, because I only started playing flute 2 months prior to the concert :P
One of my friends is great at the violin but can't read music. He learns everything by ear.
Once you really get going on an instrument it shouldn't take more than an hour's worth of solid practice to learn a simple piece, maybe five or six for an intermediate one. (So if you practice for half an hour a day, it might take you a week and a half, which seems semi reasonable). One trick is to practice in chunks rather than practicing the whole thing from start to finish every time, which wastes a bunch of time.
As for gas prices, fun fact: Did you know that if every American drove a Toyota Prius, America wouldn't need to buy any foreign oil at all? Though that doesn't account for all the gas/materials needed to make them and trash all the existing cars...
What is a mask?
My name is Hector Gold.
My mother always say, "What is a mask?" And I know what this mask is: it is what you wear to hide you. But the people who wear masks don't have a passion. Passion is the heart to believe, to be the best in all of Pokemon. Hector Gold is the best in all of Pokemon.
Now this gives birth to a second question: what is a truth? Truth is the defeat of lying. I hate liars and I will defeat them everywhere. This is because I am a aristocrat. My sangue is royale and pure, which is the reverse of the blood worn by dogs who lie and cheat. Many dogs live here and I will teach them respect.
My mother always say, "To be the truth you need to be true." I am Hector Gold and I am true.
Hector Gold, the truth.
COMING SOON

Hello, Hector Gold the Truth.
Welcome to Topaz.
I should start going by Cyndadile the Awesome.

Welcome Hector Gold! Interesting introduction, hope you find your place here.
My name is Hector Gold.
I would like an intelligence. Many people are stupid because they accept being medium in a world everlasting of potential. They wallow in lying and indolence, thus giving birth to poison why other people become bad Pokemon models. But I am not a bad Pokemon model because I am a aristocrat. I read forever and know how to be the truth--which makes me better than the dogs who lie and cheat. In fact, it is incontrovertible that an dog is here now, because dogs are hate and they hate that which is not. I am not hate because I am honesty and truth. That means I am the greatest because I have an respect by other peoples.
However, other such peoples possess an proclivity to mock those where blood is royal and pure. When these babies experience birth, they have no hope because they are evil. Evil is manifest where parents are, and parents is not immune to the poison created by many Pokemon battlers. There is one Pokemon battler that I despise much; however, I am a respect because I am a good person. Therefore, I willingly say that the one person is many because my mother always say, "one man can not destroy when one man is not the first man."
I will not destroy, I will not hate, but I will be the first man to be the man of the peoples.
Hector Gold, the peoples.
COMING SOON
I like you. You have good ideas. At least, you're more interesting than most people that I know.
I thought that at first, too, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
If he were a spammer, then what would he be spamming about?
I don't see spamming because:
A) They were well thought out messages
B) He would be posting them on our 'work fourms'
So I also give him the benfit of the doubt.
But what do his posts have to do with annoying things in life?
True... but he is new and didn't know everywhere to post things. When Iwas new I couldn't find a place to post a trainer sprite and posted on a backsprite thread.
Yar, but the introduction thread is stickied right at the top of this forum. It's pretty hard to miss. :x
On topic: I am annoyed by my friend's driving.
I have a strange feeling about Hector's posts; I don't know whether to consider him a troll or not, and you might also notice he's never posted anything to assist with the development of Topaz at all.
V That too. And they don't always have inept spelling either.

Helpful tip of the day:
Want to become a great PI? Always remember to zip up your pants.
In my experience, some spammers just like to take up posting space, JUST to annoy you. Not to sell you Viagra, not to link to porn...just to annoy you.
Also, did you notice that he said "Pokemon models" and not just "Pokemon" in his first paragraph of his second post? He does the same with the second paragraph, using the words "Pokemon battlers".
So, I'm sure it's a spambot that's trying to convince you that it's really a human. Take this from the mouth of a former spam-searching-out moderator on the first forum I ever joined.
Don't make me lock this. It's a troll (or a really odd spambot). Nothing to see here. Move along.
Yes sif, bad drivers do indeed suck.
Another thing that bothers me? This (contains strong language for those of virgin eyes). One has to wonder how people can be that stupid. :/
What's that quote from Einstein... "There are two things infinite in this world; stupidity and the universe - and I'm not completely sure about the second one." Or something like that... I'm too lazy to ask the Google.
Anyways, I am not too shocked that some people think that, but nonetheless still repulsed. =/
