Your Signal Peeves?

It's common practice around here, if you haven't noticed.

All you had to say is "my bad, you're right" and it would have been over. But you and fullor30 are trying to justify why the practice is necessary based on everything but the rule book.

ETA: And you, if you forgot, were the one who questioned my pet peeve. So, why was that so important that you took the time to question something that is fully supported by the rule book?

Cause in many areas of the country, you'd be the only one not blowing his whistle. In that case, it's not a pet peeve, it's a failure to understand what's expected of you.

Fine, I'll go get the manual. Not that I treat it like a bible, but a rulebook is certainly not going to tell officials when to sound whistles and when not to sound whistles.
