Overly dramatic yawners and sneezers.

People who block walkways, sidewalks, etc. and do not move when they see you coming.

People who are thoughtful enough to offer you something (food, beverage, etc.) but will not accept "no thank you" for an answer (are you sure? It's really good...).

People who offer unsolicited advice.

People who ask you a question and then interrupt you 0.4 seconds into your answer because they know what you are going to say and they know it is wrong.

Every other car on the road. It's like George Carlin says, "Everyone driving slower than you is an idiot and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac."

I think this may be a midwest thing...

When people say 'borrow' instead of 'loan' or 'lend'.

For example:
I borrowed that book to my friend so that they could learn to speak correctly.

AARRGGHHH!!!

I hate when people add an R to words that dont have an R at the end.

Such as "idear" for idea

I think that is forgivable. Riding on ones bumper is never acceptable and also a pet peeve of mine. When I look in my rearview mirror and only see the top of your car...you are too close!!!

People (especially co-workers) who need to put you down to feel good about themselves.

People who always know exactly what you are going thru, "I had to do that one time, it was ----------" no matter what it is you are going thru

Having to accept situations I just DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT!!

Really careful drivers (just turn the stupid car already)

Traffic turn signals that barely last long enough for one car to turn

When you're eating a chicken pesto pizza and realize too late that the olive oil has been dripping on your shirt and made a noticeable stain--one that cannot be lifted out with dish soap.

Good one, rainman.

Along the lines of story toppers are people who embellish a story over time so what began as really not much of a story at all has blossomed into the greatest story ever told.

I hate when someone rides your bumper. My husband will brake to try to get the message through to them that they're too close, but I worry about them rear ending us. I go slower, and if they don't get the message, even s-l-o-w-e-r. They will usually back off.
