    Pet peeve on these forums...people using the same stupid jokes over and over that were barely funny the first time.

    I hate the snooze button.
    Really, what’s the point? If you set your alarm for 6:00 and hit snooze 3 times before getting up, why not set your alarm for 6:30 instead?
    It's a time-taking process for me to wake up, and the snooze button is one of the greatest inventions ever in my experience. I cannot hit the alarm and spring out of bed in one go.  Most mornings I don't even realize that I hit the snooze the first time, it's just a subconscious reaction. The second time the alarm goes off is usually when my awareness starts to kick in but I'm not awake so I'll snooze a 2nd time. Then when the alarm goes off the third time I get up & start getting ready for work. For me, setting the alarm a half hour later would just start that process a half hour later.
    Ditto. I NEED the snooze. Alarm goes off the first time, it's the "Oh fuck, noooooooooooooooooooooooo" stage of waking up. Snooze for real - I go half back to sleep. On the second round, I am able to face reality better, and really start pulling out of sleep mode. Snooze but not really - I am awake enough to start thinking about the shit I need to do that day. By the next time the alarm sounds, I'm more anxious about what I need to get up and do than I am tired, and that gets me out of bed. :lol:

    snooze. 
    alarm goes off. 
    snooze, possibly check twitter and instagram, if I don't get up, proceed to:
    alarm goes off
    get up

    I am guilty of having said, "Forthcoming."  My apologies. 

    It is HFD's fault that I think of him now every time I leave time on the microwave.  It's like someone waving the no-no finger at me.  :lol:

    I'm the opposite, thats why I hate it. Alarm goes off, if I hit snooze all I can think about is how I only have 7 more minutes. I never get back to half sleep or anything.

    People who dress inappropriately for the weather, it’s 38 degrees and you’re  wearing shorts you’re an idiot.  I am convinced these same people will only wear shorts when it’s over 75 and under 45 degrees.

    I don't necessarily snooze, but I set at least three alarms, because ZMAs ruined me.

    Just thouht of one.

    Go to a concert and see people wearing brand new denim jackets with all the band patches on them.  The only time this jacket sees any wear is going to the one or two shows a year that they attend.

    Rock on!

    Another show observation/pet peeve:
    Beer farts. I am short. At shows, all I see are shoulders, backs and asses. Standing in the green ass fog is terrible. Please, let the short people breathe!

    All I can think about reading this is that if you didn't happen to be this way, you would think it was totally irrational and dumb and it would be a pet peeve to you lol

    and if it's 38 degrees your legs are cold. don't even try to tell me they are not.  it's absurd to wear shorts in cold weather.

    I used to wear shorts year round.  As long as my upper body was warm, I was fine.  These days, I'm too old & way too cold for that shit!  I hate everything under 80 degrees now.  I do refuse to wear pants from April 1 - October 31 though.
