The people asking for donations for charities outside of grocery stores, when the store doesn't even want them there. (Not Girl Scouts selling cookies, that's different.) Our local Trader Joes has a sign posted out front stating "Please feel free to ignore the people in front of our store begging for money. Please pass by their cheap folding table and do not feel obliged to donate anything."

When you call a business and the automated voice asked you to input your 14 digit account number which you laboriously do and then when you finally get a person on the line, the first thing they ask is "what is you account number?" :evil:

definitely littering, once I guy threw a whole bag of McDonalds crap out the window at an intersection, I got out of my car, picked it up, knocked on his window and shoved it back into his car and told him that my neighborhood was not his personal garbage can!

Good thing it was a very busy intersection, or I coulda gotten myself into some real trouble...

"Internet" abbreviations instead of complete words. :roll:

Poor grammar and punctuation.

People who don't "reply all" on emails when it's OBVIOUS all people need to read their replies.

People who work in one of the adjoining offices who send me a friggin' E-MAIL to get my input on something, or to pass on info from the previous shift.
HEY, MORONS!
I'm in the next G.D. office!
Get off your fat arses and WALK over and TELL me what's going on. :evil:

People who abuse their spouses and/or children because they don't "tow the line."

People who abuse animals.

Anyone who comes up to me at a concert or tailgate, compliments me on the beads I'm wearing, and think that obligates me to give them my beads, and get upset and insulted when I don't.
I find that to be TOTALLY puzzling.

Messages left on my answering machine where they leave the call back number, but rattle it off so fast you can't understand them let alone have time to write it down and have to listen to it several times just to get the number. Slow down, people!

people who as soon as the elevator doors open, stampede right in while ignoring you standing in front of the doors trying to get out.... :evil: :evil: :evil:

people who stand exactly in the middle of the grocery store aisle with a cart strategically positioned so that no one can get around them from either direction. then when you say "excuse me" they get this incredulous look on their face that they can't believe you just interrupted them from their thoughts to move around them :roll:

people who create "rolling roadblocks" by getting in the left lane and driving the same speed as the person in the right lane for miles.....then they just can't understand why in the world there's road rage :roll: :roll:

ok,that's enough for now, I have to go lower my blood pressure :lol: thanks for letting me vent :D

People who talk really really loudly either on the phone or in a group.

People who allow their kids to run, jump, climb, scream, dance, etc. in church or other public places.

People with loud car stereo systems and/or loud exhaust that drive by my house all hours of the night.

I so agree with this one, its kinda like people don't want to be behind other cars. If your doing the same speed as the guy in the next lane then drag your a$$ over there and get in front of or behind him, don't block another whole lane. I have encountered this where they have take out all three lanes of the parkway. No cars out front and a traffic jam behind them.
