Like, people who, like, overuse the work "like.

People who overuse "know what I'm sayin'?". Know what I'm sayin'?

Cars that drive by the house (with their windows up, even) at two in the morning and still have the boomers blasting so loud it wakes you up. I hope they all go deaf.

What about those who say "what it is?" :D
 
Basketball teams that don't box the F&$% out during the last defensive possession of a game, thereby allowing its opponent four opportunities to score the winning basket and - in the process - taking away one of my Elite Eight teams in the first round.

I'm looking at you Georgia Tech!

People who don't use turn signals. They're free dammit!

People who don't accelerate to the highway's speed limit until they're actually half a mile on the interstate. It's called the entrance ramp, you gimps.

Like the guy I was stuck behind last night who merged onto the freeway going 25 mph. And then immediately got in the left lane. Good times.

Let's be careful out there.
 
People who litter (especially smokers).

Convenience stores that make you go in for a gas receipt because the dispenser is out of paper.

Oil companies that think the .9 cents they charge for a gallon of gas actually is an effective marketing ploy.

Golfers who take too long to hit a shot.

And I thought that .9 cents was due to federal and state taxes on the fuel.

trifecta hit the superfecta.

I hate all those, especially slow golfers. Now, if you are slow and good, OK.

But slow bad golfers! Guys who waggle 10 times and walk behind their ball before slicing it into the trees every other shot drive me crazy.

bad and fast? fine.

slow and good? great.

slow and bad? try minature golf.
 
good one, trifect. for some reason it pisses me off beyond believe when I see a smoker flip their butt out the window, especially when I'm driving behind them and the cigarette richochets off my hood. that's happened a few times.

-- People who don't say "excuse me" after belching or farting
-- Co-workers who fart while looking at the bulletin board that happens to be located right next to your desk and then walk away without saying anything
-- Drivers who insist on tailgating you in the left lane when you're already doing 10-15 over the speed limit
-- Restaurant food that's served lukewarm instead of hot
-- Automatic hand dryers in restrooms

Just curious, what is the proper etiquetter after a dropping a bomb right at someone's desk? If you let a silent one slip, I think it's probably best to just clear the area and hope no one catches on.

I'll admit I feel like I get busted sometimes at work or at the gym, because I'll let one go while no one is around, and them immediately after someone will come sit/work out next to me.
 
People that don't return phone calls or texts or whatever.

Assholes who drive ****ing slow as **** in the middle and left lanes. Because there is almost always someone smart enough to drive slow in the right, so I'm ****ed either way.

I hate hate hate hate hate the sound of someone filing their nails. I can not be around it.
 
People who think that just because they are going 10-15 mph over the speed limit that they don't have to get the hell out of the fast lane. I don't care how freaking fast you are going. If I want to go faster, then get OVER! It's not that hard to do. When I drive, I pass and get back in the right lane. I hate people who think they're fine to drive in the fast lane just because they're going the limit..or they're driving over it.

Come to California, where it's expected that slow drivers will stay where they are and it's up to the faster driver to weave around them -- and all lanes are acceptable for passing, up to and including the HOV lane and the shoulder.

Not that I would know. 8)
