<p>I’ll start:</p>
<p>Two-year cell phone contracts.</p>
<p>Advertisements preceding on-line videos that are impossible to avoid if you want to see the video.</p>
<p>Plastic-wrapped items from the drug store that require the jaws of life to extricate them.</p>
<p>People not replacing the roll of tolite paper.</p>
<p>People who have no bedtime going out and skateboarding until 4 am… click… click… click… @_@</p>
<p>Certain tv commercials…</p>
<p>Facebook…</p>
<p>I am not and will never be a member…for personal reasons…</p>
<p>Stores, companies etc keep trying to “hook” me so I can “get their deals”…GIVE THEM TO ME WITHOUT FACEBOOK!!!</p>
<p>rant over…</p>
<p>Those darned scratchy tags sewn on the inside of shirts.</p>
<p>Twenty-year-old bank tellers calling me by my first name.</p>
<p>Other drivers at a four-way stop who wave for me to go through first, even though they have the right-of-way.</p>
<p>Spam phone calls on my cell phone (grrrrr).</p>
<p>4 hour delivery windows…where they still show up late!</p>
<p>Telemarketers and the complete failure of the DO NOT Call register.</p>
<p>People who talk on their cell phones loudly in stores, restaurants, etc.</p>
<p>Taking off my shoes at the TSA checkpoint in the airport.</p>
<p>
Sorry, it’s in the male gene (don’t know if it’s true. my scientist wife says so around here) :)</p>
<p>Grade inflation supported by administrators and parents</p>
<p>People who don’t wash their hands after using the restroom.</p>
<p>Rude people.</p>
<p>Parents who allow their children to run around in movie theatres and restaurants.</p>
<p>People who send their children to school with splinters or ticks, etc. for me to remove because their child “cried” when they attempted to remove it. Be a parent for God’s sake!</p>
<p>Telemarketers.</p>
<p>Junk mail.</p>
<p>People who ask questions but really don’t want to hear the answers.</p>
<p>For Skyhook - twenty year old bank tellers who call me by the first name on my checks, a name I don’t use, is borderline between annoying and funny.</p>
<p>People who not only talk loudly on their cell phones when you are trapped near them, but use rude language or offensive comments.</p>
<p>People who leave mounds of clothing in dressing rooms.</p>
<p>People who say “graduated college” instead of “graduated from college”. I know this must be a regional thing but my first thought is always that they must not have graduated from a very good one.</p>
<p>Bad drivers</p>
<p>Store clerks who talk on the phone while I am waiting in line</p>
<p>People who talk on the phone in movie theaters</p>
<p>Parents that smack their kids in public then just let them wail until they smack them again.</p>
<p>Dads that get drunk and yell at football, basketball, baseball games.</p>
<p>People who are rude to waitstaff. It’s a hard job, be polite!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>THIS. It’s especially annoying for those of us who live in a college res hall (happens almost every night) and like to sleep.</p>
<p>People who get really, really specific/demanding about their food or coffee…and then are surprised when it isn’t right. (I understand allergies and such, but outside of that it’s just insane.)</p>
<p>Students who try and argue with a professor in the middle of lecture–usually over one or two points on a test.</p>
<p>People who say “That professor GAVE me an F.” No, you EARNED an F.</p>
<p>Parents who refuse to believe that their children aren’t perfect. Also, parents who let their kids do whatever they want in stores/places of business when they know full well that someone else is responsible for their child’s actions.</p>
<p>People on bikes who insist on riding in the street… and going 20 under the speed limit.</p>
<p>People who talk in the theater. </p>
<p>My roommate who refuses to clean.</p>
<p>My boss who doesn’t send out the schedule until 3 days before the shoot.</p>
<p>Co-workers who want you to work their shifts but don’t return your calls.</p>
<p>Stupid people.</p>
<p>Also everything that HGFM said.</p>
<p>Self rightous RUDE people!</p>
<p>People who talk trash about the college you’re attending in the fall.</p>

<p>people who are rude to counter-help.</p>
<p>automated, no person, phone interactions.</p>
<p>extremists, true believers, of any variety. (more scary than annoying, actually)</p>
<p>People who do not think. I think this is worse, especially in business/customer service, than 10 years ago.</p>
<p>Contractors who arrive quickly to give an estimate and then disappear forever. If you don’t want the work, have the professional courtesy to say so.</p>
<p>Andersen windows that leak air <em>and</em> water. Certainteed 30 year shingles that are DOA at year 5.</p>
<p>Renters.</p>
<p>The pathetic, artificially low interest rate, now that I am old and actually have savings. Why were my home loan 14% and my student loans 9% when I needed money?</p>
<p>Parents who do nothing to control their children and/or threaten them with a “time-out”, but do absolutely nothing.</p>
