We’ve got bees in our bonnets! This week, we're celebrating the true meaning of Thanksgiving: pointing out every little thing that bothers you about loved ones. The things in gymnastics that drive us absolutely crazy, no matter how small, shallow, or irrational — the nitpickier the better!

• Floor Music Pet Peeves. Yes, we mean you, car-engine sounds. And fake endings, Spotify barf, and so much more
• Peeve or Reprieve: The New Game Show That's Sweeping the Nation!
• Floor Choreography Pet Peeves. What's the choreographic equivalent of a dad joke? We'll tell you
• Pet Peeve Skills. Sell the farm because we are tearing some animal leaps to pieces
• Pet Peeves at the Competition. Wrists, salutes, and meets that look like dog shows
• The Un-Pet Peeves. Special commendation for the skills and styles we just love

YOUR STORIES

• We asked for your craziest meet and training equipment stories, and you delivered, vaulting right out the double doors and into the courtyard!
