People who are passive aggressive. I'm a graphic design student and critiques are very important. We have a few students who, once criticized, become immature little shits incapable of listening to others.
Something else I've noticed is these are the same people who are afraid to speak their minds and tell the goddamn truth. People are so afraid to flat out say "that design sucks and just isn't working." They toss around "oh, it's interesting," or "well, i think it's an A," as if that's really going to help them develop their skills. So you decide to point out what's not working, how to improve it, etc etc. But since you're in a class full of these people, YOU come off looking like the jerk.
And one last item: traffic that magically clears up. You're on the freeway, it's slow as hell, something that usually takes you 10 minutes has taken you 30. Then, as if an invisible stoplight changes, everyone just floors it and it's clear. Did I just miss something??
