Pencils.

Speaking of the last entry, I have a peeve pertaining specifically to mechanical pencils.

Mechanical pencils are great, don't get me wrong. You don't have to constantly sharpen it and rotate it to avoid writing in unintentionally and annoyingly huge letters like you have to with normal wood pencils.

But I cannot stand when you click the pencil for more lead just to get a tiny, broken piece of lead that just pushes back into the pencil when you go to write into it. You've got to try and pull this tiny piece out and then spend then next hour clicking your pencil to try and get another hopefully longer piece of lead. Or graphite. Whatever. Trying to avoid being that WICKED annoying dude who won't stop clicking his pen in class.

Gah.
