I hate that. iPods, cameras, phones (the unnecessary beep they make when you push the button when you can hear the tone that they sent to the phone company to dial the number), PDAs. I always turn it off.
Got a tip for us?

Posting new threads when there was already a more popular thread on the subject.
With the same title and reference to Family Guy, in fact.
I really dislike it when people pick on small, insignificant details.
"It was $4."
"It was only $3.76."
"I know it was, but.......oh, nevermind."
I don't understand why people always round like that. It mildly irritates me. If I wanted to know how you estimated it, I'd ask "How do you estimate it?" If I ask how much it is, I'm asking particularly for the price. Granted, as the dollar amount increases the amount of irritation over a few extra cents diminishes..
But if I ask someone how much something costs, and you told me it was $74.12, I'd think it was a tiny bit weird. I wouldn't go all googley-eyed, but telling me it's $74 is absolutely fine.
Even if you're the type of person who says the exact value in dollars and cents, just let it slide. If someone says it's $74 and not $74.12, there's no need to correct the person, is there? It's $0.12, and not a deal-breaker.

I think that applies to all honda 6 speeds. (my SI does the same)
I have a new thing that grinds my gears, dropping my new iPhone hours after I get it link
I get so annoyed when I go to the iTunes store and I see these reviews that have people saying they are first review and they give the album 1,2,3 stars.
BREAKING NEWS KNUCKLEHEADS....THEY DON'T JUST SHOVE REVIEWS UP WHEN YOU FINISH THEM. THEY PUT THEM UP IN GROUPS OR UPDATES.
idiots, idiots, i swear.

People on forums who feel they are wise and experienced enough to voice an opinion on every subject that arises.
People who are unable to think objectively. Especially when their answer is automatic output of their 'political' stance rather than a result of rational thought. (Could be left or right wing.)

1. When people prop their feet up and then they're in my face.
2. When people don't put their napkin in their lap; I don't want to see what you've been wiping off your face.
3. Drivers who do not know how to use roundabouts or stop sign intersections.
4. When people drive like there is no one else in the car. I know you might think going over that speed bump at 50 mph is fun, but consider that other people don't like being thrown around in the car while you're driving.
5. When people are on their phone but are having a conversation with me. Are you reading something on your phone or are you having a conversation?
6. When people have poor grammar. I don't mind mistakes with more advanced grammar, but please don't refer to me as "u".
7. When people only listen to one genre of music.
8. When people guess ethnicities/races. No, that Indian guy is not "Arabian".

All religions & people who PREECH it to me. Just saying.
People that type like "dude u kno dat shiz was of da chain. I lost my fne wen we went ^ > V"
Showing people something on a website and then let them browse on my mac. They then proceed to call it gay because they dont know where their beloved "Start" menu is. I flip when that happens.

Hmm... people chewing anything with their mouth open (more so family members), people who pull out from a store's parking lot turning into opposing traffic and block all the lanes, my car burning oil, check engine lights, carbon deposits, homophobes, extremist republicans, having difficulty expressing my emotions to the opposite sex, and not being able to think of anything else that grinds my gears.
I hate people that get on the bus and spend hours trying to find the exact change for the journey, or spending hours digging through their bag trying to find their oyster card.... You KNOW you are going to get on the bus, HAVE YOUR CRAP READY...
On a similar note, I hate when you do have to pay for a journey with anything over a £5 note sometime the driver will not have change. they then tell you to get off the bus that you spent 10-15 minutes waiting for and go buy something because they dont have change... Either give me a free ride, or carry more F***ing change next time!
