Biggest pet peeve with photos?

-Dirty food/drool/snot faces on children (Moms = GUILTY)
-Yellow white balance on long exposure night shots (easy fix, so why not fix it)
-Over baked HDR's!

My personal pet peeve is when Noobs or Newbs (whichever you prefer) ask the same questions without researching previous posts. There is so much information for beginners out there that questions like "What lens to buy?", or "What camera should I get? is not only annoying to seasoned photographers on this forum, but giving beginners a bad rap. As a beginner myself, I've read so many threads on this forum, watched many videos of the foundations of photography, and browsed around the net that I went to a local retailer "felt" the camera in my hands and thought what kind of pictures do I want to invest my time, and what lenses will I need to accomplish that goal. As more people are asking the above questions, it's becoming harder for who have been here a long time to separate the people who want everything to handed to them vs. the people who want to really explore what this hobby, or future profession has to offer.

I have experience with this kind of. I visit the Photography section on Yahoo! Answers in addition to TPF to pick up tips from things people ask and the amount of people who ask "what camera should i buy/what is a good dslr for a beginner photographer" insane. I'm talking often several times a day insane. It makes me wonder why it doesn't occur to them to at least search for previous questions on Y!A before asking.
