    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.

    NO! The alarm goes off to alert that the car was being broke into. The suspect wouldn't know until it was too late and alarm went off. The alarm can't prvent the break in, it can only alert that it has happened.

    yes, your right...with the majority of alarms it doesnt deter people from breaking in...it only deters them from stealing once they are in...

    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)
