Ooo... and, and, and those tech reviews that are split over 12 ad-infested web-pages with 60 words on each page.

smokers i agree with, but not only does the religious right annoy me, but any sort of extremism
people who have food on their face from eating 3 hours ago

hanging buggers
fast food order takers, I can't wait till that is automated and they are gone!

Try driving in York PA. Makes DC seem like a picnic.
My pet peeve is probaby people who litter, or people that drive there SUV when it would be faster to walk.
Also people who say peeps. *me and my peeps*, or people who say "hey, did you get yoru ears lowered" when I get my hair cut.

And when you get to the sixth page, you realized they never even turned the product on or ran it, and yet you just can't bring yourself to stop reading because of sunk cost.
Also people that dress like there going to war in 'nam or something. I mean come on, is there really a reason you have to be dressed in full combat dress.
I also hate those who beat there pets.

1. Soccer moms who can't control their H2 because they're talking on the cell phone with one hand and putting on makeup with the other.
2. Anyone else who drives a gigantic SUV or truck and feels the need to get up on my tail (I drive a tiny coupe) and prove the useless point that their car is bigger than mine and my car would fit in their front seat. I think these people are just trying to compensate for a small wang.
3. White trash. I know they usually can't help their lack of income, especially with dubya in office, but they can easily not be your stereotypical redneck (After living in an upper class part of St. Louis all 18 years of my life then going to college in a tiny hick town has really reinforced my hate for them)
4. People who stay in the fast lane going less than 10 over the speed limit, and won't move when I am flying up towards them (I tend to have a lead foot on the interstate)
5. People who are blinded by patriotism. You know, the people that support their country even when their own government has them bent over with no lube and are so xenophobic. Honestly, if I hear one more hick down here say "France Sucks" or hear anyone say I'm unamerican because I drive an Asian car, I think I'm going to explode.
6. The religious, the right, and the religious right. I have my own liberal beliefs and my own (lack of) religious beliefs and am quite happy, ****.
7. People who do not have good hygene, such as my roommate who showers once in a blue moon.
8. Kids who are in public places crying, screaming, whining, running around, whatever, and the parents dont care. Its even worse when you're like me and work in retail and see kids making a mess that you have to clean up.
9. Wal-Mart. No explination needed.
10. People who bitch when a cop gives them a ticket for something they did wrong. You broke the law and got caught, too bad.
11. ppl on teh intarweb hoo tyep liek dis on purpuse bcuz tehy think itz kewl
12. MAC. Dammit people, its Mac. Get it right or stop posting.

Spoken like a true teacher!

Was on a plane twice: Once there, then back. On the way back, at DINNERTIME, the person in front of me decided to DROP THEIR SEAT BACK, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FREAKIN' EAT. I was NOT happy.
BTW, Was that a Happy Slap??

Sorry, but they put the exit in the fast lane, therefore I'm stuck here unitl my turn.
Pet Peeve: People who don't know how to MERGE! It is not hard!! I think people who don't know how to merge need to go back to drivers education, and learn how to drive.
Only when they smoke indoors in public places, and their smoke drifts in my face, especially when I have allergies.MattG said:
Otherwise, I pray for them and feel sadness for them whenever anyone lights up. It's a completely pointless and unhealthy habit.
Movie stars that get everything handed to them and not have to pay for it even tho they are worth millions.
Lawyers.
Politicians
Idiot drivers that would rather put on makeup or use the cell phone then to watch the road.
Fat people who complain when they cant fit into a seat on a plane.
The Boston Red Sox!!!!!!

Old ladies that can barely see over the wheel driving 15 on the highway.
People who cut an intersection to try to beat the light.
Bratty kids that yell and scream in a movie theatre.
People in the 10 items or less lane with 12 items.
High Gas Prices.
Cover Charges.

Well thats weird. Here, there are never exits in the left lane except when the interstate ends and all lanes eventually take you to a different interstate or another street

Left lane exists aren't terribly common on interstates, they're usually on older stretches of highway. Or, in the cases of carpool lanes, special carpool only exits. At least here in California.
Compulsory web registrations for crappy online news sites. bugmenot.com =
Obnoxious advertising. PithHelmet/Adblock/TV mute button =
Rude/inconsiderate/selfish/shallow people. Miami, FL is great haven for these types of genetic misfits, so I'm stuck with them for now. These same people also make the roads a wonderfully dangerous and deadly place.
Thieves
People giving up their rights in the name of security.
i. more and more useless, feel-good airport "security"
Health nannies, food police, anti-anythings, or anyone else with control issues and a selfish agenda. Stop telling me what I can and can't do in my own home. Stop telling me how to live my life. No, you don't know what's best for me. Stop saying "it's for the children!" Live and let live, mind your own business or **** off and die!

Things that make me simmer:
1. Smokers. Especially young people. Don't they realize what they are doing to their lungs.
2. Drivers who don't use their turn signals
3. People who act smart
4. People who think that Creationism should be taught in schools but do not believe in global warming and links of tobacco use to cancer.
5. People who believe that teenagers will wait until marriage to have sex if they remove any Planed Parenthood, birth control, and sex education from schools.
6. Big monstrous SUV's and Trucks with only one person in it parked at the corner Grocers.
7. Parents buying a new car/truck as a H.S. graduation gift for the child.
8. Those coffee can mufflers or whatever they are called.
9. Pabst beer.
10. Beer advertising everywhere, on clothing, signs, even during the Olympics. If caught with one small packet of weed you are out but everything is all right if you are drinking.
11. People who say "You know?" all the time. Look around during a guest speaker lecture and notice many heads will start nodding along with what the speaker is saying.
Biggest one is when someone makes the comment "The book is better than the movie." A book and a movie are completely different. Each serves a different role/purpose. I try not to answer their statement but sometimes it is hard to resist.
No, wait, even bigger is when I am at a concert and the venue does not allow any kind of photography of the bands by the audience period (people still use their phone cameras). That is really annoying as I know many of the bands I go to see would not give a damn about being photographed by their fans (I asked a venue person why no photos and he said the bands requested it and that the press photographers have dibs). Ok, it is usually a ban on SLR's, known as "professional cameras" on the DO NOT signs. But still
