I agree with the soles of the feet thing. That is strictly not allowed at any of the classes I teach! Haha!

Another peeve of mine is people who make excuses after excuses, instead of practicing! This is more of a teaching peeve – but sometimes when I teach a student how to do something, and theyon’t get it after the first or second time, they’re like "Omg my hands are so sweaty, I bet I have a medical condition, this is impossible for me", or "no that just totally won’t work for me, my body can’t do that, nope, I have hamstring issues" and just give up straight away! GRRRRR! I want to slap them! Just coz you can’t do it today doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do it tomorrow! These are the hardest people to teach, coz they throw every encouragement you give them back in your face.

I’d be interested to hear more pet peeves.
