lol at your #7, whelan (there are ways around that ) i think the discovery channel shows are more of a documentary, instead of reality tv, which is 23487909543 times better than survivor i was gonna add another one in here, but realized that it just falls in the "bad drivers" category

LOL, we had the bedtime argument already. I think we split it 50/50. Problem is she loves having her hair played with, no problem, but when I'm in bed and I do it to her, it's like an aphrodiziac for me and makes me pass out before she does, lol. Of course I can pass out in just about any position, anywhere in a matter of minutes.11) the people who have their spray nozzles tilted so high that when they turn them on and they are in front of you, your whole clean windshield gets destroyed by their spray. And it's never enough to just wipe, nooooo, now you gotta put your sprayer on to clean their spray. jerks.12) Bartenders who cut you off. Dangit! I said one more!13) DNH guys. Round here they are the Downtown New Haven crew. Not a gang perse' but the club guys who dress all black, put on their $300 shoes, $200 shirts, $250 jeans, a bottle of gel in their hair, wear sunglasses at night, and think everyspot they are standing in is their own VIP. Yeah those guys.

I seen, is incorrect. I have seen, is correct. People who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". Your, is possessive. You're, is the contraction for you are. Grammar boy, here!

Slow people in the left lane.
Parents who let their loud sticky kids run amok in public places.
People who merge onto the freeway doing 20km/h less then the freeway speed limit.
The fact that my KLR650 has a better horn then the Vibe. (I really need to do something about that)
People who let a damaged heat shield rattle against the tail pipe. (Need to do something about that, too)
The city traffic department that thinks a left turn signal is the solution to everything.

Companies that use self check out lines instead of hiring humans to do the job. I will not use them. I will walk over to the person assigned to watch them and have them check me out.

This. Been bothering me since 1992.

All these first world problems, :D :
- People who ask for my technical advice, don't use it then complain to me about the crap they bought and say "I should have listened to you."
- People who call me on the phone and say "hold on."
- When people say"umm". Ask a question and they say "ummmm." I love it when Judge Judy says "Umm is not an answer!" :lol:
- People who put on too much cologne, perfume or smell like a cedar closet or mothballs.

... who then get in your car on the very cold winter afternoon, and act like you're the one with the problem when you complain about it. Then they say that they'll pay you for gas but never do when, in fact, if you haven't driven them around they wouldn't have any money to begin with...

-Being that friend with a car

-Not being a casual texter, yet still having that annoying, immature girl flirt with you via text

-People my age (17)

-Society

-that little piece of corn that gets stuck in your teeth and once you finally get it out everyone says how gross it is

-Myself

So many that have already been said. My biggest, I'm not sure if its been mentioned, is being interrupted! I'm talking about when its for like no reason, so someone can go off on a tangent story about their friend's cousin's dog or whatever while you are in the middle of trying to tell them something.

Hey now, if I don't immediately answer my mom with something, she decides I must not be listening and will repeat the question while I'm trying to think!

I can't stand it when:
- Children do their best velociraptor impressions. Argh! That ruins every experience EVER.
- People let their pets roam. I hate seeing roadkilled cats and dogs.
- People that make a big deal out of hearing a girl talk on Ventrilo. Seriously. Apparently some people don't know they're real.

Resurrecting this thread.
Rude people. You know...the ones that cut in line because their geek friend is in line or because their cute kid did it and they tell them to go ahead.
People who don't say "thank you" if you open the door for them or open the door and let them in first.
People who can't get in/out of a parking stall with a ridiculously-overcompensating-for-shortcomings SUV.
People who block aisles with their cart unattended or stand there all day, totally oblivious to the fact that they're not the only ones in the store.
People who change their mind about perishables and don't put them back in the case because they're lazy.

People who begin to harass you because, as you were walking, they almost backed into you, so you slapped their window. And that's the only reason they're harassing you. Because you hit their window. Softly. After I slapped it they began yelling obscenities at me. I'm not okay with that. Then they gave me a drive-by middle-finger salute as I was walking into a building. Geez... You abuse that SUV so much, I hardly think a light slap would make any difference! At most I smudged it!

Bad drivers (I have encountered people who I swear were polluted drunk that turned out to be useless behind the wheel)

People who have ever even thought the words "my taxes pay your salary" (no one says that to a soldier or firefighter)

People who spit (unless of course there are exigent circumstances)

Bad grammar/spelling

People who think pyjama pants are acceptable to wear in public

People who can't take responsibility for themselves or their actions

I could go on but I'm starting to feel negative
