I really dislike junk mail. Especially the disguised crap that is supposed to look like priority delivery. So when I get this crap I black out my address and do a return to sender. They are then charged by the post office for delivery back to them and at a premium rate.
I hate people who think their car is so hot that they take up 2 parking spots. If it is in the back no problem but up close I love to park a few inches away so they can not get in and reaim their passenger side mirror.
People who stand in the middle of door ways or grocery store aisles to talk. I just walk right on past bumping into them or their cart and eliciting a comment usually they apologize and I say no problem I thought I could fit. If they say how rude it is I say no worse than standing in the way blocking the aisle while you talk
I have not thought of a way to get them back but white people who pretend to be black gangstas really just piss me off. Not to mention 85 pound female celebrities
C'mon Scott, you mean you don't watch the "Real Housewives of NJ"? What about "America's Next Top Model" :rolleyes:Quote:

I hate these big women that always seem to be behind me at the grocery store and they are so anxious to check out they keep hitting the back of my foot with the shopping cart.
Cell Phones....I'm at 7-Eleven the other day and there is a little line at the cashier. The guy in front of me is steadily yapping on his cell phone. There is a BIG sign on the counter saying "Please do not use cell phones while checking out". The cashier charges me for my coffee and the guy on the phone gets ticked cause she skipped him. She tells him he is not a customer until he hangs up the phone. What a GREAT moment.
Years ago, before cell phones were quite common, people carried beepers. A woman about as wide as the grocery isle (walking very fast) cut my wife and I off with her grocery cart. She then stopped cold and her beeper went off. I looked at my wife and said "Look out honey she's backing up!"Quote:

Not every movie is a "keeper", so I'm not gonna' buy a Blu-Ray movie at $40 (+/-) each, and permanently add it to my video library without renting it first.Quote:

I've told many people-- "The only thing saving your @ss from me not killing you is capital punishment laws and the fact that I don't want to go to jail-- otherwise you'd already be dead!!!"

2. tail gators....ya, im gonna cough up the $20 for some rear fog lights to go on my roof rack pointed at the drivers seat of the cars behind me...
3. since i work at retail- (and im forced to ask everyone i see if they need help) when people wont even give you enough respect to look at you when they talk...thats definately number one lately...i really am getting ready to go crazy on some rude arsehole... and the best part about this one is our conversation always goes like this ......(me) hey you need any help?...(them) no...so i walk away, and 15 minutes later they come up and ask me questions... i always wanna just look down and ignore them...
The Help Desk.... doesn't!
People who park their 4x4 Dually Super-Duty King-Cab truck in a regular parking spot at the grocery store. Park that monster out in the back row, or better yet, leave it home.
Every "Tree Service" in my area. "My tree is not DEAD. See all those leaves growing in the lower branches? Why would you cut down a living tree?" (I finally put a sign on my front door to this effect.)
People who talk/text on their cell phone while driving, and are absolutely unaware of anything going on around them.
Really LOUD commercials. (I have to turn the sound off. I'm sorry, but I really willl not miss Billy Mays.)
And finally... getting OLD!! I need glasses to read, my back hurts all the time, and I sweat without even working hard. Gimmee a break!
I hate following a car in the left lane and as he passes a car in the right lane he gets just in front of the car and lows to that car's speed. I'm behind one slow car and beside another TRAPPED LIKE A RAT!
I hate people who go pick someone up and they sit out front honking their horn
Can't stand people who answer their phone in a movie theatre or an assembly. They talk as they're walking out. DRIVES ME NUTS.
I hate that gas is priced with a .9 after the price. Why the .9 cent?
I hate that gas prices change sometimes twice in a day yet the gas in the tanks was paid for at one price.
People who are considered something of an authority by others (but especially, those who are self-proclaimed) in any given specialty or on any particular topic who start to think that makes them an authority on EVERYTHING.
People who go out of their way to try to piss other people off or just make things more difficult than they would be otherwise, whether it be out of jealousy, spite, etc.
People who think the world is their trash receptacle.
Tailgaters.
Car Alarms.They are nothing more than a sound to let everyone around know the owner forgot to turn off alarm before opening door. I've never actually seen an alarm go off cuz car was being broke into.
if you always saw people breaking into cars with alarms.....wouldnt that defeat the purpose??Quote:

actually it deters them from stealing everything, they still usually get 1 thing for their effort (but at least with an alarm they dont get: stereo, amps, subs, ipod, wallet, sunglasses)
Things that aggrivate:
People who THINK they know everything are particularly aggrivating to those of us who actually DO!
aggravate
Main Entry:
ag?gra?vate Listen to the pronunciation of aggravate
Pronunciation:
\ˈa-grə-ˌvāt\
Function:
transitive verb
Inflected Form(s):
ag?gra?vat?ed; ag?gra?vat?ing
Etymology:
Latin aggravatus, past participle of aggravare to make heavier, from ad- + gravare to burden, from gravis heavy ? more at grieve
Date:
1530
1obsolete a: to make heavy : burden b: increase2: to make worse, more serious, or more severe : intensify unpleasantly <problems have been aggravated by neglect>3 a: to rouse to displeasure or anger by usually persistent and often petty goading b: to produce inflammation in
usage Although aggravate has been used in sense 3a since the 17th century, it has been the object of disapproval only since about 1870. It is used in expository prose <when his silly conceit?about his not-very-good early work has begun to aggravate us ? William Styron> but seems to be more common in speech and casual writing <a good profession for him, because bus drivers get aggravated ? Jackie Gleason (interview, 1986)> <& now this letter comes to aggravate me a thousand times worse ? Mark Twain (letter, 1864)>. Sense 2 is far more common than sense 3a in published prose. Such is not the case, however, with aggravation and aggravating. Aggravation is used in sense 3 somewhat more than in its earlier senses; aggravating has practically no use other than to express annoyance.

Thanx; Scott, and I was thinking I had one on that SOMEBEACH character. Damn, I've been out-smarted by the creator. Now that really aggravates me!!! LOL!!!Quote:

People who don't realize their little monster, looks just like every other little spawn...Winston Churchill....none of them are cute....none are particularly clever...we don't care a whit about them. I don't want to interact with them at all, before they are 25. Keep em quiet...out of sight....and to yourself.
