People who cut in line ahead of me because I'm short.

Waiting in line at the airport and listening to someone on a cell phone behind me in a conversation I'd rather NOT hear. Some things need to be private.

Driving on I-10 with nutzos weaving in and out of traffic causing everyone to hit their breaks.

Mexican nationals who purchase a van load of items at local discount store, then tear off the wrapping paper and toss it in the parking lot to avoid taxes at the border.

Snooty waiters at 5 star restaurants who think they are doing you a favor of waiting on you. (Look.. if you don't have to work....)

My hubby talking to me in a particular monotonous tone of voice.(use my ipod alot,.. "say what?")

The reason you are finding it buddy, is because it's there. And you don't need it. You don't want women that have something wrong with them.

Flakiness, please don't tell me one thing and do another. Its irritating.

Parents who think their kid should be starting when they lack two key ingredients: Heart and Work Ethic. You want to know why your kids not playing. Come to practice.

Teachers who do their jobs by simply going through the motions and then blame the kids and home environment for sucky ass grades and test scores. You can't control a students home and socioeconomic status, however you can control what and how you teach a kid and remember to teach not just holistically but also tailor certain lessons to cater several different learning styles.

People who are rude to fast-food workers/floor staff/cashiers/waiters/gas station attendants.

People who bitch to said low-level employees about things that can't possibly be the responsibility or fault of the employee. If you have a problem with the business, you politely ask to speak to the manager. It's what civilized people do.

People who don't tip because they've apparently convinced themselves that a few dollars an hour is a reasonable wage and that anyone working for that much can afford to or is able to just quit to find a higher-paying job.

People who feed themselves or their pets crap then wonder why Fluffy is a lardbutt and they've got chest pains.

Tabloid rags. I don't know or care what Brad and Angelina are doing, thank you.

Those combo names celebrity power couples get. Brangelina, TomKat, Bennifer. That is not cute, people. That is fucking stupid. see also: the combo names designer puppies are given. Schnoodle is just as stupid as TomKat, you flakey, bubbleheaded bitches.

The fact that all the magazines that require some amount of actual thought: music, news, science, politics, etc. are in the Men's Interest section of most bookstores, whereas all the Women's Interest section contains is flufy mindless crap about makeup and diets.

How at work, we only get our schedules a week ahead of time. mad

spatsy, spatsy, spatsy....you need to adjust to solitude. Take up meditation, (that's meditation, not medication) Feng Shui, be creative with your unmet energy needs. Go deep (or shallow) within yourself. You, perfect human being you are., need nothing. Sign up for a monastery. Rise above the difficulties of not getting "sack time." I have confidence and hope.

There's a gigantic list, but I'll list one right now:

I can't stand it when people are on their cell phone while in the car. Either (a) the person is alone and thus is a safety hazard behind the wheel, or (b) is in the company of others and is forcing them to be quiet and listen to half of a conversation.

lol, I didn't know that! The b part of it anyway...

Oops! Guilty of part (b) !! redface
Well, I don't force anyone to be quiet, but yeah, you can't help it if the phone rings and you're not driving, why not pick up?! I don't have long conversations in the car, but as a passenger I don't think it matters too much.. boxed

- People who don't know correct song titles so label them what they think it is on compilations/iPods.

- People who don't use capitalisation or paragraphs when chatting on internet forums.

- People waiting in line at checkouts or cash machines and not having their money/cards ready.

- People who start bagging their items after they've all been run through the checkout and been paid for, so the person in front of them has to wait before they can be served.

- Oh, just people in general in public who have no concern for anyone else around them - ESPECIALLY folks that hold hands down busy high streets. If the person is not a child who could get lost or abducted, you don't need to hold their fucking hand and block everyone else wanting to get past.

probably my biggest pet peeve ever: random people telling me that i'm tall. especially the ones who get pissy when i respond sarcastically. rolleyes

I wear glasses. If I go from a cold environment to a warm one, my glasses steam up.(eg, smoking a fag on a cold night outside the pub, then going back in)

When this happens, people say "your glasses are steamed up!" like I haven't realised this! My eyes are literally an inch from the steam and I can't see a fucking thing!

"Oh thank god for that, I thought I'd just instantly developed cataracts!"

You are right. If a guy is expecting to go out into the world and not find a woman who doesn't have something wrong with them then they might as well stay home.

* Witnessing anothers' digestive process. neutral I can deal with seeing you take a bite, but if I eat with you, I don't want to see or hear the chewing inside your mouth, the saliva sloshing around, the sound of your esophagus sucking down material, your stomach churning... or much less gas escaping from either end of you.

* People who leave crumbs and sauces around their mouths as they eat. NOT SEXY! no no no! Simply place one napkin in your lap, as etiquette dictates, and roll a second up in your hand, dabbing the corners of your mouth after every 2 or 3 bites. It ain't difficult.

Doesn't the English press also give nicknames to all celebrities, not just couples?

I had this explained to me. If Conan O Brian had lunch with Madonna, it would be "Consey & Madge"

And didn't they coin the name Jacko?
