    36) People who speed up when you try to pass them. It's as if they decided they are going the speed that is hand picked by God. (I'm sure one of you has done this to me and therefore, you have seen my longest finger waving above my head by it's lonesome)

    37) People who change into your lanes for no f*ckin' reason.

    38) Waiters who decide to come by and ask you how is everything when your mouth is full of food. This only makes you look like an idiot and tell him everything is fine while trying not to spit food out.

    39) Mini-van drivers who have a complex about them and feel the need to speed about in front of you.

    40) People who refer to their Dad as "Dad" rather than "my dad." Ex. "Yea, so 'dad' told me that I look more like his best friend.."

    You've never waited tables before have you? You could just shake your head yes or no. It works the same as speaking. Give it a try coma.

    No, I've never waited tables. And while I understand that waiters don't have time to sit around to time a perfect visit to a table while there is no food chewing involved, I still find it annoying. As for just nodding, when someone asks me something, I find it rude not to verbally address them.

    Since waiters and driving have both been touched on, I'll add my $0.02.

    41. When you are done eating for 20 minutes before you ever get the check.

    42. When you are on a 2 lane highway, especially in the mountains, and the slow ass drivers who live over in the right lane decide to pass the even slower trucks, but don't speed up at all. Hey moron, when everyone else over here is doing 60, your 45 mph speed is not appreciated.

    I disagree with so many of the comments you guys have made, maybe if I have time later, I'll knock out some more, but I'll just go ahead and start with the first one.

    I think the pointing to the wrist thing is a good way at covering yourself in case the person you are talking to doesn't hear you. Many times I'm walking to class with my headphones on, unable to hear anything, and some dude will look at me and ask for the time while pointing to their wrist. I can't hear them, but I know exactly what they want to know. It's just a secondary communication in case the first transmission doesn't get through.

    43. I hate when people call on the phone and say "what are you doing" well I'm talking on the phone I guess, dumbass.

    44. People that are right there with you and ask "what are you doing". Is it not obvious?

    45. People that eat at buffets that only like one thing and they get all of that one thing and you don't get any.

    46. Police officers who turn their lights and sirens on when there's no "real" emergency and they just want to get where they want.

    47. People that say "can I borrow a piece of paper". Yeah, make sure you give it back after you've scribbled all over it.

    48. Those who enter an elevator before letting the people already inside exit. Idiots.

    OMG, I COMPLETELY F-ING AGREE WITH YOU!!! "I am learning who I am" . . . WTF? In my experience, it's just an excuse for screwing up and doing dumb things. Or for people's lack of commitment, or any number of things that evade responsibility. Total B.S. in my opinion.

    Now, I see where there is room for certain things such as self-discovery. But in my mind, that is completely different than what is described above. For instance, making a pilgrimage or fasting can be an exercise in self-discovery. You could discover a spiritual side of your life that you hadn't opened up to. HOWEVER, I think this is completely different from what you describe above. Whenever I've heard that phrase "I dont' know who I am" or "I am learning who I am" or some such nonsense, it's been an immature phrase meant to dismiss blame or responsibility. And that lies hand in hand with your "Real-World" assertion -- don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching it every once in a while, but usually that show's a bunch of self-absorbed, immature, irresponsible people with emotional problems . . .

    Thank you! I'm glad someone agrees. You're totally right about "dismissing blame." What a cop-out!

    50. After this morning... People who slow down in the EZ Tag lane. You think your tag won't read if your going too fast? Even if it doesn't, all the better. Stop slowing down!

    51. People without EZ Tags that stay in the EZ tag lane until the very last second. What, you didn't see the toll station? Move it over!

    Slow down? The speed limit through the ez tag lane is 45 mph, isn't it? I've seen a lot of wrecks on the news that happen at the toll booths. I bet many of them can be attributed to speeding. I'd much rather slow down for :10 seconds instead of waiting for an hour while the wreck is being moved.

    Maybe the wrecks are being caused by people slowing down to go through the lane and getting hit from behind.

    Speed in and of itself is not a problem (at least at most highway speeds. It would depend on the road, conditions, etc). Speed differentials is. So the guy going slower than the traffic can certainly be the biggest danger.

    Thank you! The Hardy Toll Road is practically a straight shot all the way to The Woodlands. There's no reason to slow down to 45 in the LEFT toll lane especially if you're going against the traffic as I do every morning.

    It's always safer to go with the flow of traffic, even it the flow is speeding.

    52. I hate it when people cannot pronounce the word PICTURE correctly. The word is not pitcher, it's picture.

    That's hilarious

    32. People who think they're better than you. They think they're really cool when they're in fact dumb@sses.
