I have many pet peeves since I have undiagnosed OCD, but since getting knocked up, everything seems to annoy me - more than usual.
One thing that I really can't handle is when kids staple their own papers. You would think high school kids would know the proper way to staple their paper together for maximum usage. I was astounded at the number of kids that would walk up to my desk, throw the stapler into the multiple pages (without lining them up) and then just staple them. It didn't matter if the stapler was in the middle of the page or on one of the edges. It was stapled.
So, now when I give multiple page assignments, I collect them unstapled. The kids think I'm crazy, but I just find it easier to do it myself then to have to go back and restaple all the papers. One day I'll have a course on this and show them exactly how and where they need to put the staple in order to satisfy my ridiculousness.

dude, i feel you. My 3rd graders staple backwards, upside down, on the RIGHT side of the pages, etc. There needs to be a class on proper stapling!
