PET PEEVES ....POLL

What are some of your biggest pet peeves?
Me, I can't stand it when while driving someone has to get into the right lane at a red light before me and is going straight. I have to sit for 2 minutes just to turn right because the jerkoff in front of me doesn't want to be in the left lane (Which is usually empty) Sometimes I could choke these friggen idiots!
I also love it while talking to someone they say "Can I axe you a question?" or "What's your date of birf?" What the hell happened to the English language?
Seeya,
Jimbo

I get pissed by people who can't figure out what the center left turn lane is for. They come almost to a complete stop in the left lane to turn left and then finally make the turn after everyone behind them has locked up their brakes.
And how about people on the highway who stay in the left lane and then at the last secon decide that they need to turn off? They then proceed to cut across 3 lanes of traffic and see how many cars and trucks they can get to turn sideways.
People who talk on their cell phone when they are driving should be euthanized unless they can learn how to PAY ATTENTION!!!!
How about lazy bastards who have handicapped license plates because they are old or have arthritis. They get the prime parking spots and then get out and casually walk into the store. My Mother in law is a paraplegic and refused to use handicapped parking spots because she would have to fight the lazy slobs to get to them.
I am also irritated by people who butcher the English language when they try to speak it. I'm pretty sure that ALL telemarketers and bill collecters now use the same person to make all of the phone calls for them. I usually tell her that she will have to speak English if she wan't s any answers out of me. The reply is usually something like 'I iys speakin eynlish"
Another peeve ...
Rappers who call themselves musicians. I don't think I've seen or heard one rapper yet that can actually play an instrument. The extent of their talent is finding a good old classic song to take a sample of so they can talk shit to it as fast as they can for 5 minutes while flashing as many gang signs as possible and showing off how much they can spend on stupid looking jewelry.
Can ya tell I had a bad one last night and I'm not in a very good mood???
I could keep going all day but I need to get to work.

Ebonics pisses me off to no end. I refuse to speak to a telemarketer if they talk that fucking garbage.
People yacking on cellphones and weaving down the freeway at 75mph, not bothering to use turn signals or even be halfway observant.
Inconsiderate people.
Weak people who refuse to accept responsibility for themselves and their actions, expect a handout, and expect the government to babysit them, raise their kids, and award them wealth in frivolous lawsuits.
People who whine and complain in airports.
People who don't control their loinfruit in restaurants or other places like theaters.
Telemarketers
People who allow their pets to become their neighbors' problem.

I have a demon sister-in-law who pisses me off. 
I also don't like whiners or people who blame everyone and everything for their problems but themselves. 
Oh yeah, and idiots who pass you, when you're already going 5 miles over the speed limit, just to make a turn that's a 1/4 mile down the road. STUPID!!!!!!

I forgot to mention the way that Microsoft make all of their products as insecure as they possibly can. I am responsible for security on over 250 public computer systems for the County Library and Microsoft products are my biggest head ache. Congratulations to Microsoft. You are now listed just under CHs as the biggest head ache that can be had.
Don't get me wrong. If it weren't for how much Microsoft sucks, I wouldn't have much to do here besides write custom software and fix hardware problems. I also would have no side work at all except for the few custom computer systems I build.
Did I mention that life sucks today? 1 big one last night and almost constant phantoms for the last 2 weeks. Just shoot me now.
If I think of anything else that pisses me off, I'll be back.
BTW... I'm one of the whiners today. Please forgive me.

Just to name a few......
Tailgaters. 
The more they ride my bumper,
the slower I go.
Idiot cell phone using drivers.
(Hang up & drive!)
"Hold on, hold on, hold on"
[Actually, it's usually "hode on, hode on, hode on"]
(I ALWAYS immediately ask to speak
to whoever is in charge when I am
met with this statement as a customer)
"Can I axe you a question?" or "What's your date of birf?"
.......... these drive me up the wall too!
Add to that "That uh be $2 dalla & 45 cent"
(How can more than 1 cent NOT be plural?)
Oh, one more...... VOICEMAIL!
Specifically, when you are trying to
conduct business & all you get is
automated responses or voicemail.

HUGE pet peeve of mine.
The lack of common courtesy today.
This urks me to no end!
The simple, everyday courtesy.
A lost thing in our times, sadly it seems.
Edit:
NON-yeilding idiots!
This sign DOES NOT mean everybody
stops their driving so your inconsiderate
ass can proceed!

Every driver on the road with me...except me 
But let me "axe" you somethin? Doesn't it piss you of when drivers don't follow the "every other car" rule, when a lane is shut down or yeilding in traffic. You always got that idiot that has to NOT let anyone get in front of them. Yeah dude (or dudess) that extra 20 feet is really gonna shave some serous time off of your commute.

Ok I will confide my Anal side to you guys in no particular order.
1. Dont squeeze the Toothpaste in the middle after I have already neatly rolled it up from the bottom.
2. Sorry only healthcare people will probably get this one. NURSES dont call ME to SUCTION a TRACH Patient!!
3. Dont put the ice cube tray back with only ONE ice cube left.
4. Dont leave the MILK, JUICE, COOL AID in the fridge with TWO DROPS LEFT IN IT!!
5. Turning on a bedside light w/o warning, thus ensuring a victim's pupils are FULLY dialated.
6. Weedling a promise out of someone while they're trying to be left alone to sleep.
7. That back windows of SUVs are curved to always reflect sun right into my eyes..

Peckerheads that hang in the left lane doing the speed limit.
Bone heads that pass you, then slow down, so you have to pass them, and then they pass you again, and then slow down AGAIN! AS$HOLES!
Telmarketers that have the nerve to call you back when you tell them no, and hang up on them!
People who are ALWAYS whinning.
People who have no sense of humor.
People who think they are better than me. (We all know I am better than any of you are!)
Women who think that the more makeup they put on, the better they look.
Prejudiced people.
Just to name a few!

People who use automatic dialers to call my phone number. You say Hello, Hello, Hello, HHEEELLOOO!!!!
Then finally someone comes on speaking ebonics a hundred miles an hour either asking you to buy some crap that you'd never in a million years even think of buying - or - the same person speaking in the same un-language is calling to try to talk you into making a payment on a past due bill. Come on people!!! If I had the money to make a payment, it wouldn't be late!!!
How about...
People who see a sign that says "Left/Right Lane Closed Ahead" and then drive all the way to the front and expect people to let them in just because they are ignorant, lazy, self centered bastards that think they are above waiting in line like everybody else?
YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't believe I got started on this!!!
I'm going to have to get drunk when I get home now.
Oh.. Wait a minute... Drunks kind of piss me off too.

I'm working on my 3rd attack of the day and it's only 14:00. O2 ain't cutting it. I just popped a Zomig NS about 2 hours ago, so I hate to do another one so soon. So it hasn't been a real peachy F'n day for me either. Sheesh, you asked for it.
1. People that pay no attention to construction warning signs and can't manage to get over before the lane actually closes: I was driving to Louisiana on I20 around Tyler, TX there were signs Left Lane Closed 13 Miles ahead and warnings every so often after that. With 13 miles of warning there were jerkoffs who waited until the last minute to try to get over. Took 3 hours to get through that construction zone because of pricks trying to get that extra 20 feet (sorry Jimmi_B) ahead of everyone else. If you see a sign saying the lane is closed ahead - GET THE F#@K OVER
2. People that just have to come from behind me and pass me to stop in front of me and make a turn.
3. Parents that don't discipline their kids
4. Healthy strong people capable of work on welfare.
5. Baby factory welfare mothers
6. Tailgaters - the louder they honk, the slower I go. In a rush? Leave earlier next time a$Shole.
7. People who won't turn right on red, even when there is no other f'n tracffic on the road.
8. Yes, people who either stop at the end of an on-ramp before merging or people who just drive out into traffic without trying to merge and they just expect you to get over or stop for them.
9. People listening to their music 10 decibels over the pain threshold in their cars so loud you can't hear your music in your car. HEY AS$HOLE! If I wanted to listen to your music, I would have bought the F'n CD!
10. People who don't put anti-virus on their systems and then open every attachment they receive, then expecting you to be able to make it all work without reformatting and reloading and without losing any data.
11. People with IMPORTANT data on their systems who don't back it up and then expect you to recover data from a drive that won't even spin up. I had an accountant who lost 11 years worth of data because he never backed it up. Ba$tard then threatened to sue me because I couldn't recover it. I told him to go pi$$ up a rope. Even the hard drive manufacturers will not guarantee your data. They explicitly tell you to BACK UP YOUR DATA. He ended up sending the drive off to one of those data recovery services. He learned a VERY expensive lesson.
Sorry, I'll stop now before I write ANOTHER novel.

Oh. OH. One more and I'll leave you alone.
People who spent about 50 cents to buy their system and then try to upgrade them, complaining to me that a particular card wasn't compatible with their cheap a$s computer.
People who never had a computer in their life, know nothing about it and can barely navigate a point and click environment calling for tech support to install the most expensive, resource intensive, resource picky sound card we made.
Some people I wanted to tell them to box up their computers and take it back to where they bought it, they were too stupid to own a computer.
Okay that's two and a comment. Sorry.

In truth, I despise about 75% of all children, 90% of all dogs, 95% of all people between the ages of 16 and 65, 95% of motorcycle riders, 95% of all the tripe that Disney puts out, and 100% of anything to do with Walmart, and people who buy the biggest SUV with monster 4x4 capabilities just because it sits higher, and who will NEVER EVER take them off-road and don't know how to drive them worth a shit. That pretty much covers it. I hate ricers, rednecks, people with no self-control or discipline, and people who think that the world revolves around them. I hate the new crop of "musicians" like Britney Spears, Justin Timbercrank, Eminem, and the horrendous shit that passes for music now. I hate spammers, virus creators, politicians, conspiracy theorists, and those a$$holes in Nigeria who keep asking me to be their partner to get some dead a$$hole's money out of some frozen account. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck 'em all!!!
