I found a list + questions

So I was looking through these old files on my computer and I found all my old lists.
But one in particular was odd. It's basically a list of things that annoyed me from when I beta-ed other peoples stories a couple of years ago.

Some of them are things like;
3 .The stereotyping, i.e. emo must be this, jock must be this, why is there no grey area?
5. Twins and triplets who are identical in every way imaginable. So identical in fact, that they may as well be one person.
8. Original characters that are so transparent and obvious that it’s not even worth reading the story to see how they change.
9. Original characters are in fact an idealised version of the author
13. The inability to use a comma, or just proper punctuation in general.
14. Improper spelling.
25. Badly written vampire stories.

And, no, I'm not criticising people for writing, because that is most definately a good thing, These are some of the things that annoyed me back in the day.

So, questions;
1. Does anything annoy you when you read stories?
2. Have you ever managed to solve a Rubik's cube?
3. What is currently your favourite story on here?
