People who don't know how to quote properly.
I end up reading half a paragraph before I realize it's what someone already wrote. The quoted part should be in bold. (In between the "[ b ]" and the "[ /b ]".
Oh, and people who quote an entire post that was excruciatingly long to begin with. rrrrr.

People who start a new topic, instead of spending a moment to find an existing topic on which to post.
If you don't see a topic about your stock on the first page, you can use the "search" feature. Type in your stock symbol, choose to search in "subject only", and you'll find all the topics about that stock. Choose one with the most recent post, or one with the most posts. The goal is to perpetuate one single topic thread with the most relevant information.
OK, I think I'm done. Anyone else? Go ahead - you'll feel better.

Not being able to find soemthing and no one will answer you because you admit the obvious of being new and not try to Bullsh*t and baffle.....
Not having a category just for newbies or books suggested to read and links for us to go to instead of p*ssing off the senior traders or being insulted for asking an obvious answer to someone who has done this for a while.

People who start a topic that has nothing to do with Penny Stocks in the Penny Stock forum. Just kidding Winsom. You lighten the mood in these forums with your posts.

guys that pump up a stock to people about how they love it and yet they obviously dont know their a55 from their a hole in ground even to a new guy. When I can pick one out they better get a new thing to do with their time as I know probably (good bet on this one) the least amount about trading on here.

Maybe you could write a little tutorial for new folks about how to use Allstocks properly?
Rags, I believe you can find helpful info on the Allstocks home page.
Plus, I believe in MOST cases, a legitimate question about a stock, even from a newbie, normally gets addressed by someone. I like that about Allstocks. (Oh sorry, that's not a peeve)

Been lickin' my wounds. Lost too dammm much money in the last month. Got big zits from the stress. Plus, people get real nasty when stocks are tanking. Not as much fun lately. Good to see your name, though.

Ooohhh, I am soooo guilty of a peeve. I searched and A month ago there was an ACSH thread. You can spank me, black leather belt please... but not too hard. Sorry.
Minor irritants: When someone posts DD and I see a person making a NEGATIVE know it all comment to the person, yet never post DD or responds back, or says that stock was posted in a yahoo group (like we wanna read all the groups). Most of the ones doing alot of that have left thank goodness, and most comments are good on the DD sections. MAJOR non stock Irritants: people who do not use blinkers on their cars, or make wide country swings to turn, or doin' 55MPH in the 70MPH left lane.... if I only had a rocket launcher... Does anyone have the RRA (Road Rage Annonymous) hot line number? hahaha Candydish

Rags, the thing that gets me at checkout is not the elderly--some of them process slowly and are on very restricted incomes--it's the people who stand and wait for the total before even asking for a pen. They could have written and recorded everything but the amount while waiting for the total. I guess, debit/credit cards are so fast now that check writing seems slow and irritating. Wow, that made me feel better. This is really .10 and under--as in a penny for your thoughts.
Thank you Suz! I never noticed how rude that was til you pointed it out, I guess I should not have generalized in that nature and should be more particular. Sorry if I offended anyone for that.

Hey RAGS I had a lady write a check for two pounds of bananas right in front of me the other day and seriously took way too long!

I don't think you were being rude, it is very irritating to wait when you're pressed for time. My parents and in-laws and their friends have all slowed down considerably. They sometimes get confused when they have to respond at a quicker pace--very much like a young child. Some also need hearing aids. For some of the elderly, going to the store is like a night out on the town for a 25 year old. Hey, if we are lucky, we will all be there someday.

my biggest pet peeve, is that there are a lot of people at work on cures for alzheimer and others that can't get enough funding, but we have enough money to pay basketplayers 78 million$ (who then go to Greece and lose) ..LOL or when they crashed the Mars lander on Mars a few years ago and everybody starts screaming how they wasted 125 million$... I'm like well, that's the Yankees infeild aintit????LOL if your from Boston you'd rather send the Yankee's infeild ..LOL
