<p>Bikers who ride in the road when there’s a perfectly accessible, safe, and empty bike path just 4 feet to the right of them. You look cool but you’re flirting with death!</p>
<p>Blinkers that go too fast. I’ve finally figured out that they bug me because they’re faster than your resting heart rate. They make us all anxious!</p>
<p>People who drive with their arm on the open window. They’re always lackadaisical, which is fine on a lazy country road, but not on a highway or in a city.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please drive safe. Those are my sweet daughters, who live in high cost cities and can’t afford cars and parking and hope they are helping save the planet by riding to work.</p>
<p>Ovens that die when I am not ready to deal with replacement or redoing kitchen ( tho I know my Formica kitchen must get redone at some time, just not ready )’</p>
<p>Patients who call 5x than cancel, and threaten suicide if not seen next day.</p>
<p>Insurance companies and patients unwilling to do their part.</p>
<p>On the other hand, appreciate my s/o who walked in when oven had small flame, used the fire extinguisher, turned off the power, remained calm as everything in kitchen had to be washed, etc. I love my double oven and do not want to face the research and expense of replacing it. I absolutely detest waiting around for service people, who never ever appear in the time slot given.</p>

<p>We have bike lanes. We have sidewalks (and yes, it’s legal to ride on the sidewalks and they’re very empty). Most people ride where they’re supposed to, but there’s always a few idiots that choose to ride in the middle of the road and go WAY under the speed limit.</p>
<p>Those people on the interstate who see the sign indicating traffic needs to merge but instead speed up(blasting past those of us who are doing the right thing) to get to the front of the line where they then expect someone to stop and let them merge ahead of everyone else. Always annoys me.</p>
<p>Somebody explain the skateboarding…click…click…click</p>
<p>Is this the sound of someone skateboarding down the sidewalk? Is it really that loud inside the dorm?</p>
<p>People who think it’s legal(everywhere) to ride your bike on the sidewalk. (it’s not legal where I live!!)
<a href=“Archive blogs”>Archive blogs;
<p>Yes, it is. They would go at high speed up and down the wide sidewalk in front of my dorm. It was loud regardless if the windows were open or closed. The dorm buildings were close together so I guess that would amplify the sound, but still.</p>
<p>Bike riders who cross in the pedestrian only crosswalk, blasting out of nowhere from behind trees, expecting you to see them in time to stop.</p>
<p>Drivers who motion you anywhere where they have the right away. Take you own turn and don’t worry about mine.</p>
<p>People who go out the “in” door or vice versa in a building, esp. when I have my hands full. I just stop and stand there.</p>
<p>People who don’t control their dogs in public, esp. letting them run loose.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>YES. Especially because for the last two years, as an RA I’ve lived near a pretty major walkway, and you can hear them at all hours…chick-chick-chick-chick-chick-chick…</p>
<p>In fact it’s so bad/disruptive that it is against our housing policy to ride skateboards in/near the res halls during quiet hours. Of course, by the time I hear it and get to my door they’re long gone.</p>
<p>The worst is when they ride by at 3AM and wake up everyone in the building. For me it’s more of a respect thing than anything else–think about how what you’re doing is effecting other people.</p>
<p>Also, just thought of another one: people whose children are rude or disruptive, but if you say ANYTHING or even look at them the wrong way, the parents get all offended and give YOU the “death glare.”</p>
<p>ex: a good friend of mine had a child STAND on her foot at Disneyland in order to “see something better.” When she politely asked him to move, the parent reprimanded HER. Ugh.</p>
<p>The child leashes also annoy me…I know I’m not a parent, but no one I know ever had to use them, and I always feel like if you can’t be bothered to watch your children maybe you shouldn’t take them out in public.</p>
<p>Neighbors who have barking dogs, and know they have barking dogs, and let their dogs bark all day every day.</p>
<p>Smelling manure everytime I walk outside in the spring. One week it was so overwhelming I lost it and called the county sheriff out of pure desperation. They had a good laugh at my expense I am sure.</p>
<p>Teenage girls who get pregnant on purpose and want to play family or just attempt to keep their boyfriends.</p>
<p>Some of my daughters friends who hunt and talk about how they love guns and all the turkey they kill and eat. And make Twitter statuses with pictures of guns and hearts. Like I <3 (picture of Gun)</p>
<p>Extreme evangelical christians that have been making FB statuses about how contraception is essentially baby killing. The last one I saw was from a teen mom. ugh</p>
<p>Extreme evangelical christians in my daughters highschool that talk about guns and hunting and how they don’t believe in dinosaurs - I am totally serious. My youngest has been in a year long debate with a straight A student who doesn’t believe there were ever dinosaurs. </p>
<p>Random FB posts of pictures of deformed children and other tragedies and I am supposed to hit like to prove my humanity I guess.</p>
<p>My neighbor who stole all the good rocks in the center of our cul de sac and used them in his landscaping and now he lives in an apartment most of the time so his kids can play basketball in another district.</p>
<p>Neighbors with dog that barks at every blowing leaf, who say, “He just LOVES to be outside! Whenever we bring him in, he barks until we let him out again”.</p>
<p>Neighbors who rescued a neurotic hound dog that howls and bays whenever he can’t see them. Both owners work long hours.</p>
<p>Neighbors with rescue mutt that would disembowel the two poodles on the other side of the fence if only he could get to them.</p>
<p>Neighbors who bought a second tiny yappy dog to keep their first tiny yappy dog company. The two yapping dogs hate each other and have to be kept separated.</p>
<p>Neighbor who walks his dog to the grassy area at the center of the cul de sac to do his business twice a day and has never, ever picked up the poop.</p>
<p>Neighbors who think we are as excited to receive a wet dog nose in the crotch greeting as their dog is to give it.</p>
<p>(I like dogs a lot more than this post would lead you to believe.) :)</p>
<p>The cable tv company. We have Charter, but Comcast is the same. I HATE their plans…just let me pick the five channels I really watch and charge me for those. And stop raising my rate!</p>
<p>Since we are dumping on bikers. People who bike without a helmet and their earphones on! Ugh!</p>
<p>People with size 8 feet who try on the size 6 sample. They only send one size 6, I usually have to buy the sample and so many times it’s all stretched out.</p>
<p>The yapping dogs get me too. I was walking and 3 big dogs ran at me. No leash of course. The owners of course assured me that they were really friendly! Yea that made me feel better.</p>
<p>People who don’t understand that a hotel corridor is not the place for a conversation after 10 PM or before 8 AM.</p>
<p>Local public officials who abuse their positions to promote themselves and screw other people.</p>
<p>My otherwise sweet, wonderful, terrific mother for still resenting her older sister, even though she is also sweet, wonderful, and terrific, and has had a much harder life. (Something I find baffling as well as annoying.)</p>
<p>Drivers who speed up when you put on your signal to change lanes.(talking about you Orlando!!! but really anywhere)</p>
<p>Drivers who cut in front of you then turn instead of waiting 5 seconds behind you to turn.</p>
<p>Drivers who wait till the last minute and cross several lanes of traffic to exit.</p>
<p>Cashiers who give you change by first giving the paper money, then putting the coins on top of the paper money so they can slide off all over the place.</p>
<p>Commercials at the movies (other than previews).</p>
<p>
This reminds me of a joke. A Harvard grad and a Yale grad (pick your own colleges for this) go into the mensroom and use the urinals. When they finish, the Yale grad turns to leave, while the Harvard grad heads for the sink. “At Haaaahvaaad,” he says, “they taught us to wash our hands after using the restroom.” “At Yale,” the other guy says, “they taught us not to p*** on our hands.”</p>
<p>The child leashes are actually part of watching your child.
My youngest has spectrumy stuff especially when young and she wouldn’t hold my hand. The leash allowed me to be in reasonable contact with her, without holding my hand & without her taking off because of anxiety as fast as a blink!</p>
<p>Drycleaning that costs more than the garment did.</p>
