It's about time for us to feed off of each other’s anger again against the stupid people in life. What are your pet peeves?

I realized one of my biggest pet peeves yesterday:
People who drive around a parking lot for 20 minutes trying to get a spot so they don't have to walk too far to the door, then spend 2 hours walking through the mall/store/etc...

people who send in the tube then beep in and try to talk to you, then get frustrated if you tell them that you can't hear them, or just wait until the tube stops running, there is a sign on the equipment that says that we can NOT hear you while the machine is running, and it's even funnier when they actually send in the deposit and they do it again

You don't drive in Joisey, and, until you do that for about 10 years, I will always beat you in the traffic...

All of the ones from DQ that are in bold and........

When my sister calls me and then isn't in the mood to talk

People who speak to me as if I were a slow child

People who refuse to drive at least the speed limit

Students who ask me the same question after each assignment

Senior Managers who give lip service to communication and compliance, but then launch a new product without even talking to me about it.

Sheets that get those little "nubby" things on them.

Polictical messages left on my answering machine.

I'm sure there are more.

When a person calls on the phone for someone that is already talking on the phone, and you tell them that they are on another call, and they (the caller) ask how long they will be! I want to say something smart like "I'm not sure, let me get my crystal ball....." That drives me nuts!

people who drive slowly. speed limits are there for a reason, if you choose not to follow the laws you are telling other drivers that they should wait for you because you are so much more important.
