- When a cheerleader has to correct a coach because that coach wants to put a full up (Yes, a 360 allll thhee wayyy around full up) in a level TWO routine and the coach sits there and argues with that cheerleader saying it's legal, then looks it up and looks like a moron.
- Jammy - he/she/it is kind of creepy
 
low baskets
when you wish teams good luck and they mugg you
annoying voice overs/when a teams name is repeated 20+ times in their music
when people dont say "hit or pull" during jump sequences
slow awards!!!
music failure during a routine.
girls who fix their bows 20 times during the routine
 
people who think the judges are somehow giving a certain team the upper hand.
they beat you because they were better than you. thats all.
 
when people throw layouts at worlds!
when you have people fake there tucks in the tripple toe backs!
when flyers dont lift there chin!
and when bases aren't chest to chest!
 
My biggest one has to be when they get down to calling first and second place for awards, and when they announce the team receiving second... the opposing team jump up and down and scream and yell because they know they got first. RUDEE! wait your turn people!
 
Feet/legs that aren't super tight together for shown' go's
BHS that aren't perfected (headsprings)
The "we are proud of you chant" when you're really not proud of them.
Excessive running during the running tumbling.
Slow twists

a million shimmys for all of theese
 
not taking the time to get good uniforms, i went to go watch a cheer comp with my friend last weekend and there was this one team walking around in black tank tops that said their teams name on it and all black skirts, but they were made out of cotton, as if it was like regular clothing. so i was like okay? there probably just cheap warm ups or something and there all gonna change later or something. well an hour later we saw them go up on the mat, still in the cotton clothing! and you could tell it wasn't because they can't afford them, those moms up front had on these fancy cocktail dresses and diamond rings and earrings with their sparkly clutches! they looked like they all just got back from some fancy NYC party! and the worst part was, they didn't own bows!
 
-How the big name teams make it threw to finals, even though they fall!
-When competitions are running hours behind
-When you say good luck to a team and they just look at you
-When people say cheerleading isn't a sport

those are just some of the big ones i can think of
 
People who walk up and down the stands at comps. Even if it's not your team or organization that's competing have respect for the people who still want to watch the routine without missing something.

It drives me crazy when cheerleaders say I'm working on my standing double.... When the mean standing two bhs- no you are not working on a standing double, you are working on a standing 2 or series bhs! Lol

I could go on and on but the last thing I will say is I hate when people from the same organization does not support everyone. They only care about the upper level teams. As a coach and a former program director. It breaks my heart for the kids that work so hard to get no recognition. Win and loose as a program and cheer on and motivate all teams in your program no matter what level or age!
 
i feel like you can tell how legitimate a team is by their uniforms and colors. i hate when teams wear pink and zebra. and of course it's not of all teams, i'm sure there are tons of really amazing teams wearing pink and zebra. but i have to say, i do judge the team before i watch them. its a pleasant surprise when they prove you wrong!
 
the chant" G-O-O-D L-U-C-K GOOD LUCK " team XYZ " THIS IS YOUR DAY !
so annoying and fake! lol
 
-cowboyed out tucks

-level two libs when the flyer sits on the backspot's hand
-when flyers cross their ankles in double downs
