Injustice, intolerance. People who are quick to criticize without knowing the situation or offer a solution (I see this everyday). People making judgments without knowledge.

People who constantly fiddle with their mobile phones, either sending text messages or reading them or talking on the phone at inappropriate times or occasions.  Last year I was at a funeral and the person delivering the Eulogy was interrupted by his mobile phone, not once but twice :P ::)

Yes, amen to that one jaytee. I have a mobile phone at work but I switch it off when I'm in meetings with people, out of courtesy to the people I'm seeing. I hate it when people break out in the middle of meetings and say "excuse me while I take this...". They might as well add "...because it might be from someone more important than you!".

And what really makes me angry is when other people call later in the day and say "I tried to reach you but your phone was off!" in an accusatory sort of way, like I was skiving off or something.

Can you say Seinfeld episode?  "Poppy's a little sloppy."

I was out for cross country in high school, and it would totally irk me when spectators would be standing along the course smoking cigarettes.  As if I wasn't already desparate for air!

My other pet peeves are sweatpants, people who get on the bus and ride only to the next stop, people who stop abruptly in the middle of busy sidewalks/hallways and mess up pedestrian traffic flow, and Wal-Mart.  There are probably more I'm just not thinking of right now.

Could I just add to this list of things I really, really hate...the unbelievably irritating and smug b@stards who work at the fecking, blinkered monopoly organisation that is the Inland Revenue? And they have the gall to appoint someone in a position called "Customer Services Manager" who has, by the way, never replied to my letters. It's as if they want us to believe that we have a choice where we take our tax custom. This organisation would not know customer service if it came up and bit them on the @rse. They are a blood sucking bunch of parasitic leeches with all the compassion of a starving wolverine.

I absolutely sympathise, Maddog. I am having problems with The Inland Revenue as well. The girlfriend and myself were entitled to Working Tax Credits for a child, they made a cock-up and so tell us we have to repay what we owe to them even though it was their mistake.

The laugh here (and I say that ironically) is that they are still giving us these Tax Credits but tell us to wait until next year when we have to make the claim again. We can only presume that they will take it from my girlfriend's Child Benefit (which is something else entirely).

It's almost as if The Inland Revenue want us to be in debt to them. Pah!  >:(

That's absolutely rude. Reminds me of the time when I read a "Dear Abby" column that illustrated a story about a wedding guest who showed up late at a wedding, had her phone ring five minutes after sitting down, which she answered then stood up and walked over to the video, talking loudly for the rest of the ceremony!!

I don't think I saw that Seinfeld episode.

Yeah, I hate it when customers block the aisles, but what's even worse is that where I live, drivers will literally stop their cars when they see somebody they know and roll down the windows to start talking, blocking traffic from grocery-store parking lots to major roads to streets already chaotic with construction! (I'm serious) You would think they haven't seen each other in years, and it's not like I live in New York City where the chances of bumping into an acquaintance is only 1%. If they really want to talk to somebody, just pull over to the nearest coffee shop.

Hypocrites...another pet peeve of mine (don't know if I've listed it)

Quoting:
#1 Talking to someone online, having a nice conversation, and then when I tell them that I'm from Manhattan(NYC) they're first question is..."OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THE TWIN TOWERS FALL?!!"

#2 People who flip their hair too close to me in the elevator

#3 Woman who take too long at a bathroom with one sink. They're re-appying ALL of their make-up while I'm patiently waiting to wash my hands.

#4 People who make loud wet sounding burps and fan them around, therefore increasing the chances of the stench reaching my nose

#5 Cap't Crunch-Why is this cereal so hard?

#6 When my mother tries to have serious conversations with me 30 secs after I've woken up
End Quote

#3-Agree with you on
#6-That would infuriate me. I'm afraid I would be giving out a rude response like "go away", if were in your shoes.

Yep, that pisses me off too, but I think everyone is guilty of it to a certain extent, so I try to only let it piss me off if it's really blatant...

Here are a few of mine:

People who act like they know everything

People who act like their music is the best kind of music and can think of a "logical" reason why your favorite band/type of music totally sucks and can shoot down all of your "logical" reasons why they don't suck.

People who "know" they're right even if it's on a topic they know very little about.

Choir directors who won't let me sing the alto part.  (I never said I LIKED hitting the high notes!)

People who state the obvious as if they seriously think you don't see it.

People who tell me I need to "loosen up" or "do something wild" just because I choose not to get drunk or do drugs or have sex with whoever.   There are other ways to have fun, or even to be wild.

(I didn't come up with this one, but I definately agree with it)
People who point to their watches and say "what time is it?"  I don't point to my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is!

Little kids who give a running commentary of everything going on in a movie as if I can't figure it out for myself.  

Stores where they keep insisting that you get their special credit card thing even after you've told them you aren't interested.  (the main reason why I don't shop at Victoria's Secret much anymore.)

Stores that try to sell their clothes by showing pictures of people who are only half wearing them.  I want to know what the clothes will look like all the way on, because that's how I intend to wear them!
