    • Not being able to reach a live person when calling customer service.
    • Early termination fees.
    • People who can't drive.
    • Traffic
    • Not being able to find a parking space
    • Forgetting to bring your umbrella when it rains.
    • People who get to the front of the line and still have to think about what they want (i.e. at movie theaters, fast food restaurants etc)
    • Holiday Shopping


    Go ahead and get it off your chest. You'll feel better.

    Not being able to find a parking space is very high on my list. Even worse when you are short on time.

    People driving slow in the left lane on the interstate.

    People that spend a ton of time selecting a movie at one of those kiosk DVD vending machines. Slowly browsing the movies and reading the descriptions while creating a line where one should not be is brutal. Added annoyance for kids b****ing to their parents about what they are renting while you wait.

    People that still use checks at the grocery store.

    3.2 beer.

    Traffic going up I-70 to ski on the weekends. This is obviously a Colorado specific one.

    - When people spell "ridiculous" like "rediculous." Where the hell did the 'e' come from damnit?
    - People who tailgate. I never understood it. Since when has tailgating ever worked in a person's favor? If the guy in front of you slams on his breaks, you end up paying him.
    - Idiots who think it's safe to drive 70mph and weave in and out of traffic during a snow/sleet/ice storm.

    That lady(probably morbidly obese) doing the middle eastern tribal yell every time a Houston Rocket took a free throw last night against the Hornets made me want to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger.

    • Are you kidding? I go out of my way NOT to talk to a live person when I call customer service. Most of the time, they just screw things up. I'd rather deal with the computer voice. She seems to care more about my problem that the live person anyway. And most of the time, she's smarter...
      • People who cut in line in traffic
      • People who turn left from the middle lane
      • People who change lanes every 10 seconds....in bumper-to-bumper traffic

    people who pop their collars. I'm staring at one in class right now and it's driving me to the brink of insanity.

    People in the grocery store line who checkout with a gazillion items....

    ....and then wait until the entire thing is rung up before they pull out their checkbook and start writing a check.....

    ....and then have to ask the cashier how to spell the name of the grocery store.

    H.E.B., ya r****ded blizznitch! Three freaking letters!!!!!

    People that use checks. There is a thing called an ATM card. It works very well and its only been around for about 30 years.

    Sports:

    * Adam (NoHit) Everett - The man plain sux on Offense and granted he has a good glove buy seriously though how many times have I changed channels or used the can because he came up to bat.

    * Brad Ausmus - Same as above , but why is he still here? I thought the only reason he was our catcher was because Andy and the Rocket liked him.

    * David Carr - Well that was fixed'

    * Charles Casserly - Till this day if I ever saw him on the street I would curse the Sh$@ out of him and taunt him like there was no tomorrow.

    * Rockets - This team sux when it comes to attacking the basket .. Its so infuriating some times because they rely on there jumpers so damn much.. 29th in the league in free throw attemps? You call that elite? (By the way we will defeat Utah in 6)

    Life:

    * Drivers - Whats the deal with so many slow As$e$% on the left hand side of the lane.. MOVE you Sob's I can't stand it how so many folks are on the left hand side of the lane who should not be there.. Also when you are entering the freeway don't start speeding up once you get on. You speed up on the ramp damnit :mad:

    * Folks who have less than 10 checkout items that get into the regular Checkout Isle

    * Handicap Parking - Too many and 2nd to many people who use it that are not handicap

    * Obese People who complain about there wait but then buy shi% that they shouldn't ie.. Candy bars, big slupees' , Super Size, etc.. ..

    * Parents who can't discipline there kids , it's almost no wonder why society is f$#@d up sometimes. Some parents shouldn't even be parents.

    * The whole war damnit.. Let me get this straight I was so for it in the beginning I was putting flags all over my car and telling people about WMD's that we had to protect ourselves... Guess what There is 0,zilch,nada WMD's (People that is the reason why we went to Iraq ) Only good thing that came out of it was that Saddam got hanged.. Now we have soldiers dying everyday because we went there with false accusations of WMD's

    * People who say I don't support the war but I support the troops? WTF is that? Just say you support the War damnit..

    * President Bush ( I can't believe I voted for this man )

    * US Education System - Lets be focus on Texas alone.. If you visit the Lottery Website it tells you how much money is paid to the TEXAS education system ( Over 8 Billion Dollars ) Jesus man that is a crap load of money where the hell is it all going? We have schools who are in need of supplies, schools who are releasing teachers because they can't afford to pay them, And schools that are closing down?? Where the hell is the logic? Over 8 billion in the past 10 years?

    * Health Care - Enough Said

    * Taxes - If it was a person I would of pulled the trigger a long time ago.

    * Spam in your E-mails and popups

    * Gas and Electricity - The Sh$% keeps going up year after year after year

    I will continue this later in part 2

    Don't get out much these day, working from home and all, but the ONE THING that drives me absolutely bananas, EVERY SINGLE DAY I get out, is people who don't use blinkers.

    Sometimes I just want to quit using them myself and be just as fricken rude as the non-users as see how they like wondering if I'm making a left or right or running through a yellow.

    And if you are reading this and you don't use your blinkers, I'm calling YOU out right now. You are an IDIOT. An inconsiderate IDIOT!!! And if I had my way, I'd ban all you IDIOTS from the road!

    BTW, this is NOT about the "law" only, it's also about being considerate to fellow drivers and driving safely.

    ....(much time passes)

    Wow...did I ever get upset...

    Still, you're an idiot if you don't use your blinkers.

    BAKA!

    (dang, m_cable, you've got me all heated and pissed...[breath deep rocketraccoon])

    People who have to groan and clear their throats as loud as possible while taking dumps.

    NBA refs who favor superstars, except for Yao and Tracy for some reason.
    NBA refs who blow the whistle before a foul happens in anticipation of one.

    People who park so close to you even though you go out of your way to park as far from the parking line as possible.

    - People who talk on a cell phone and drive 20mph under the speed limit while doing so

    - The fact that BW3's makes you get a minimum of 8 boneless wings per sauce

    - Property taxes going up and raising my mortgage $220/month

    - People who say Windows "Veesta" instead of Vista

    - The fact that no matter which line I choose at the grocery store, it is inevitably the one where some BS happens like the register breaks or the person before me wants to return some items.

    I agree 100% completely.

    This is at the top of the list.

    Even more annoying, are companies who disable the "0" so you can't transfer out of the menu system and get to a live person.

    Makes me so frickin mad! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    *Jerks who ride ATVs in residential neighborhoods. I seriously hope they get hit by a car.

    *Sitcoms. What a complete waste of time.

    *Well, wait - reality TV is worse. Who watches that ****?

    *Carpet. Always filthy.

    *The jerks who wait till the last minute to merge.

    *the jerks who get of to the feeder to avoid some traffic, just to clog the freeway further when they have to get back on.

    *people who drive r****dedly huge trucks for no reason at all.

    Wow. Good luck with all of that...


    • Picking the shortest line at the bank drive-thru only to end up behind some bozo who isn't prepared and is doing all his monthly banking at once and having people in the LONG lines end up getting in and out before you. This NEVER fails.
    • Being behind one person at the Whataburger drive-thru at 3am only to have that 1 person be getting food for 8 different people. :mad:

    When you've been standing in line at the grocery store for several minutes and a new lane opens up, everyone from the back rushes to the lane and checks out before you.

    The sound of eating food - smacking, crunching, slurping. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Especially TV commercial, because it is enhanced.
