<p>Waitstaff that drops off the bill and then disappear.</p>
<p>People staying in a hotel with one of those little swinging metal arm security locks that open the door and then swing out the metal arm so that the door won’t close and lock. Their children run in and out of the room and the door goes BAM, bam, bambama, bam every time, resounding throughout the hotel structure. Really great when I am a 10:00 a.m. skiier and the people across the hall are 6:00 a.m. snowmobilers.</p>
<p>People who talk very loudly on the express bus. Particularly at 6 am.</p>
<p>People who assume that if the dishwasher is half full the dishes in it must be dirty.</p>
<p>Four lane roads when you are trying to turn left and the person in the closest oncoming lane stops and motions you across, which means that you are a sitting duck and will get hit if the other oncoming lane doesn’t also stop for you which you can’t really see. Don’t interrupt the traffic flow. Just go … I will make my turn when the traffic naturally breaks, and if I don’t, that’s my problem, not yours.</p>
<p>The city version of the faux-polite people who stop to motion you across oncoming traffic: people who insist that you get on the elevator first, standing with simper and upturned palm. Passive aggression disguised as chivalry. Just get on the damn elevator so we can all get to where we need to go!</p>
<p>People who get annoyed by friendly, well-meaning gestures.</p>
<p>You beat me to it Hunt.</p>
<p>Although I agree about the person who motions you to cross two lanes of traffic–that can get you killed.</p>
<p>Aisle blockers. These are impulse displays and/or shopping carts that block the two-way traffic in a grocery aisle. </p>
<p>Also, vanity sizing.</p>
<p>People who behave passive aggressively, and try to skate on the excuse that " they meant well".</p>
<p>I get really annoyed when people tease someone for using the elevator for one floor, or worse complain about them after they’ve gotten off. I have a medical condition which makes more than one flight of stairs very difficult and on some days impossible, and if it’s inconvenient for me for whatever reason to be limping and huffing and puffing at length when I am done on the stairs, or one of those days where it’s bad enough that I could fall, I take the elevator. This is something I witness CONSTANTLY and there are so many people with invisible disabilities who can’t help it, the urge to lecture is overwhelming… when they are actually complaining and not just teasing in a misguided-but-well-meaning sort of way, I frequently do say something. </p>
<p>I am sure unsolicited lectures could make this list, too. :)</p>
<p>Loud leaf-blower machines, especially on Sunday mornings. Mr. OCD neighbor, the wind is going to blow them back anyways…Please, let.us.sleep.</p>
<p>LOUD talkers, especially those on cell phones. I don’t want to know your business</p>
<p>People who drive and talk on the phone (No, you cannot do both things well, that’s why you almost had an accident.)</p>
<p>Blindingly white, perfect fake-looking teeth 
on 60 year-olds.</p>
<p>Nearly pornographic commercials on TV to sell everything from soap to beer.</p>
<p>People who do not say thank you when you… let them go ahead of you …hold the door …let them know they have called the wrong number</p>
<p>Emahee I had that experience on an airplane.
I don’t fly often so I am not familiar with exiting etiquette. On trains you deboard when you are ready and don’t hold up anyone else.On the plane apparently, all the front rows leave first, even if they are struggling with getting their things together, and you are in the back with a small handbag because you checked your luggage.</p>
<p>I was having a panic attack, with tears streaming down my face as we were landing, and it was all I could do to wait until the aisle was clear to get off the plane. I didn’t push in front of anyone or hold anyone up.
Leaving before it was “my turn” however, prompted several loud comments about “people who think the rules don’t apply to them”.
I didn’t care, I HAD to get off that plane, but it didn’t make me feel any better.
Next time, I guess I will just stay in my seat, even if I start screaming uncontrollably.
;)</p>
<p>Wait until somebody complains, THEN scream uncontrollably.</p>
<p>The last few posts remind me that sometimes annoying behavior is due to a problem I can’t see, or ignorance of local customs, or perhaps some other good reason.</p>
<p>All that being said, the other day I saw a blind person walking along with a white cane who was also listening to headphones. I try to be charitable, but…</p>
<p>I just stopped at McDonalds for lunch and was going through the drive through. The lady in front of me ordered quite a bit of stuff and then started deleting things that she had ordered. Then she added one back on that she had just taken off! The lady inside clarified that she wanted that particular item and the lady went off on her! She started screaming at her and then hastily pulled forward.</p>
<p>I almost yelled at the lady myself…</p>
<p>The rapid increase in the price of food. Sale price only if you buy five.</p>
<p>ek, I’ve flown at least once a year for the last 14 or so years, and I don’t think any of my planes have deboarded that way! Everybody gets off when they’re darn good and ready. Of course, you do have to stand in the aisle and wait for the occasional person who is blocking the aisle to remove luggage from the overhead compartment-- out of necessity as they’re blocking the walkway–but if someone is in the row of seats and not blocking the aisle, nobody waits for them-- and the people who can do fly up the aisle to the front before everybody gets up and blocks the way. Maybe I fly on the airline for rude people! haha</p>
<p>liberals? lol, not really</p>
<p>kids with bad grades thinking they’ll get into Harvard
Windows computers
bike riders not using helmets
dirty floors</p>
<p>People who ride escalators and then stop at the bottom or top to look around, WITHOUT moving to the side. Where do you think all the people in back of you are supposed to go?!!! This is especially annoying on the subways during rush hour, but is also annoying in department stores. If you bump into them because they are blocking the way, they of course get annoyed with you. </p>
<p>People who don’t move to the right on subway escalators when they are standing still. </p>
<p>Ditto the people who get into subway cars during rush hours and stand right in front of the door–so you can’t get in or out. </p>
<p>People who talk on cell phones in small spaces like elevators and in the public library. </p>
<p>People who use the Lord’s name in vain. Hey, I don’t care what you believe, but I really don’t see why His name is your favorite curse word. And why are three year olds saying “Oh, my G-d!” all the time? </p>
<p>Tourists who walk 4 abreast on the sidewalk, looking around. This is especially annoying when it’s a group listening to a tour guide or a teacher and they make it impossible to get around them!!! Ditto for people waiting in movie lines who also block the entire sidewalk, forcing people trying to walk by out into the street.</p>
<p>

<p>Remember that show laugh-in from when we were kids?</p>
<p>This is a laugh in skit. :D</p>
