People who don't wave or raise a hand when you visibly stop to let them into traffic.

People who don't say thanks when you make an evident effort to hold the door for them.

People who let their kids run around undisciplined while I try to eat my 150 dollar meal.

People who tailgate when you're doing 75 in a 65 IN THE MIDDLE LANE and you can't move over.

People who talk ten levels too high when on their cell phones.

this covers many items for me as well. general rudeness or just plain lack of consideration for others. i am not a doorman, nor did i have to let you in front of me to merge into my lane - in both situations, the least you could do is say or wave thanks. it seems as if people just expect you to give way or make things easier for them, though they never do that for others (from what i've observed in watching people who just committed a rude act in front of me).

i was getting coffee this morning, and there was a guy at the front of the line on his cell phone. he was so busy talking and apparently couldn't pause even for a minute that he pantomimed what he wanted to the clerk. needless to say, she got it wrong (twice!), then he finally spoke to her to state his order. then he looked around with this smirky "hey, what can you do?" look on his face and caught my eye. i gave him a dirty look, shook my head, and looked at the cashier in front of him. he shrugged, paid, and then left. jerk.

ugh. why don't people have manners anymore? i was rasied to say please, thank you, sir, ma'am, etc. rudeness got a spanking and/or grounding in my household. i rarely observe parents who seem to even try to teach their kids how to be polite and civil. if only we could require general intelligence and civility tests and minimum levels before people were allowed to have children! :p

hmm, a few more, now that i'm already in an irritated state:

1. people who think that signaling automatically grants them the right to move in the direction they want to go. signaling means intent and a clear path and/or permission from another driver in the way is not included.
2. people who do not know that the left lane on the freeway is for passing. passing, i tell you! if i'm coming up quick behind you, move over and let me by. if i flash my brights behind you, it's not rude, i'm just asking you to move over. dammit.
3. people who are walking in an aisle in a store, airport, etc. who suddenly stop in front of you without even thinking that there could be people behind them. and then continue to stand there, oblivious to the world, as everyone behind detours around them. what planet are you on to not notice what's going on around you?

okay. i must stop now before i get too irritated at society's pathway to hell in a handbasket.

UGH
Tell me about it...people should have to take a shopping-cart etiquette class before they can enter a supermarket.
 
1. Republicans/social conservatives/fascists/the religious "wrong" (only when they express an opinion) :D

2. Thiefs/litter bugs (basically people who have no social conscience)

3. People who don't acknowledge you when you let them cross the street or let them out in traffic

4. Drive through workers who say absolutely nothing when they serve you. (just hand the bag out the window)

5. Wal-Mart

6. People who bash Apple with no credentials do so (i.e. people who have never touched a Mac or the last Apple they touched was the IIe)

7. Faux News (that's Fox News Channel for the uninformed)

8. The bends

1. Emo people. Yeah, the kids usually that dress in tight jeans, wear black sweatshirts that are too tight. They listen to music about how somebody's girlfriend left, and how they are emotionally unstable. I think they should get their ass kicked, and realize nobody cares.

2. PETA people. I saw some old hag driving today with a bumper sticker that says "ABUSE AN ANIMAL - GO TO JAIL". I just wanted to punch her. Her two little poodle dogs are sitting on her lap, licking her face, and obstruction her vision (while driving). I seriously cant stand the animal patrol crap. Why dont they use their money on protecting humans, rather than animals?

3. fools that dont answer their cell phone when they don't want to hang out. just pick up and tell me you don't want to hang out, don't make me wonder.

4. guys that think they are badass. the other day a semi-friend of mine threw something at me during lunch. was an aluminum ball. ok, i let it slide. 10 minutes later he does it again, and out of a pissed off reaction, i throw it at his face, and punch him in the face.

5. people that think they are important. like our fatass women athletic director. she drives around a golfcart all day and tries to get people in trouble. i think the athletic director should be someone that loves sports, and is in shape.

6. people that talk crap jokingly. like the kid that always messes around and says "man shutup i will lay you out" or something like that. i think to myself, stop saying it and do it.

7. rich kids that act like they aren't rich. this applies to the same kid that threw the foil thing at me. he has a job at some resturaunt, and he talks about how he works and blah blah, how he pays for his own gas. yet his parents bought him a subaru wrx-sti, and pay his insurance. i would much rather be in his situation. i bought my car and pay my insurance.

8. flakes. i don't like people that flake out. here is an example. my brothers friend (who is 24) owes me $250. its a long story, but something he had of mine got stolen. his mom is in the hospital. its been 4-5 months and he hasnt paid. i am bigger then him, and he still thinks he can beat my ass. i have let him slide on paying me for quite some time. i finally told my bro about it, and the kid jumped on it to pay me.

9. democrats that hate republicans just for the fact that they are republican. don't you have enough common sense to realize that both sides have something decent to offer? (i am republican, btw)

10. kids that get really involved in crap. like the kid that wants to be in all the clubs, and take all the extra classes. i just want to slap the **** out of them.

11. teachers that think they can control you. my spanish teacher is the devil. she tries to scerw your grade over. most people right the letter Q as q, just like on the computer. she wants it to curl, like the opposite of a g. see how g curls at the end, and q doesnt? she will screw you over if you forget the curl.

12. thats all for now.

You might think about rephrasing that, as I can think of plenty of wackjobs on your side of the fence that do the same thing. :)

Hmmm....

1) When you donate thousands of dollars to a school and you barely get a thank you by the "administrator" while she speaks rudely to you and talks about stuff she/he knows nothing about. (long story)

2) "Gangsters" or what ever you call it, the whole 22" crome wheels with spinners and gems in them.

3) Teenagers who take an old honda civic and put chrome wheels on it, paint it bright yellow, put neon lights under it and race at 100mph on the highway.

4) People who come to the er with a gun shot wound (caused by drugs, gangs, etc) and when the police comes they say that they talked to the person like a week ago not to get involved with gangs and such because they'll get hurt.

5) People who are so headstrong they will not even listen to an opposing point of view when speaking face to face.

6) People who don't hold the door for you when you are right behind them. They'll just let the door shut in your face.

7) People who sue doctors over stupid things or people sueing companies over nothing/lying like that wendys lady. Those people who get treated by doctors and then they come up with something to take to court is very wrong and costing us doctors thousands of dollars for malpractice insurance.

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
Don't forget people who use the flash in a huge sports stadium and expect it to be effective. :rolleyes:

Dude...you're blurring the lines between having pet peaves and an anger management issue.... Be careful! :(

11. ppl on teh intarweb hoo tyep liek dis on purpuse bcuz tehy think itz kewl
Arrghh... stop it!!! :p


People who refused to admit that they have no idea about the current situation and try to act smart and thinks that they know more than any other person.
 
1. People who type "would of" instead of "would have." They sound like complete and total illiterate rednecks.

2. People who pull out right in front of you, then proceed to drive slowly. If they are in SO MUCH of an incredible hurry that they can't wait 2 seconds for you to pass, then the least they can do is drive at a decent speed afterward.

3. People who drive the same speed under all conditions. Um...hello...just because the sign says "55" doesn't mean it's a good idea to do that when the road is covered with glare ice....

4. People who whine and complain about new Mac specs, as if Apple personally owed them a quantum leap in technology every 6 months.

5. People who write annoying lists of complaints on computer forums. Oh, wait....

When your at the checkout and someone says, I think I'll use a check and takes 5 minutes to write the whole check out from scratch.

2. People who fail to signal turns and lane changes when driving. They put the blinky lights on your car for a reason, chimps. (Also, people who drive with their blinkers on for no reason.)

For some reason, a LOT of people here seem to think that you're supposed to indicate 'right' at a roundabout when you're going straight through :confused:

Is that common in the US? Here they often run cheques through a printer, so that the customer just needs to sign.

Same as people who stand in doorways of shops when it starts to rain, you may fear the rain but I still want to get out/in. People with golf umbrellas who wield them like Boadicea trying to gouge out my eyes.

Most of the things others have said and plenty more, but of note;

The Police.(mostly the uniformed service but also the band)

I've had plenty of 'incidents' with the Police and every one has further confirmed that they're just crap in so many ways it's unreal.

And people who confuse is and are.

Like "Where is the staplers" instead of "Where are the staplers"
I have heard it far to many times- amazingly!
----

Also weather men- especially this one on the radio- hes really bad. Today he said despite what other people were saying we would only
1/4"-3/4" of rain not 2"-3". Well so far I've gotten far more than 1.5". Also he talks in Febuary how it is not beach weather yet (being serious)- this is in Connecticut- really do you think its beach weather when theres 12" of snow on the ground?

I don't think I've seen this (the printer) much in the US. To be honest, paying for retail goods in the US with checks has become fairly uncommon. It's bad to say, but you see it more in low SES neighborhoods, because people have less stable credit, and/or don't trust themselves with credit or debit cards. But in terms of technology, the emphasis here has been much more on installing terminals at stores for people using credit/debit so that they can swipe themselves, enter their own PIN number, sign digitally, etc.
