My biggest peeves are reserved for the requests for help which go something along the lines of, "I just started up my car and now it's doing weird things. What's wrong with it. Thanks." No information about the car which might actually help in a diagnosis is given. Then, naturally, they are pissed because no one posts to help them out.

Oh, and "I like pie".

Not on the survey but one of my forum (any forum) peeves are those who do not try using the search funtion first before posting a question... we really do not need any more posts about the smoke that comes out the tail pipe.

^ that's true.
But some people take the "do a search" to any extreme. Not really on this forum but more so others I've seen.
The thing is how can new information be added to the databank if an old question doesn't come up?
