Slow walkers (unless they're old or crippled,) people who stand in inconvenient places such as at the top of stairs and get in the way of everyone else, arrogant/stupid/rude customers, poor drivers, smokers who drop their butts on the ground (all of them,) people who listen to music without headphones in public, people who wear their caps on any angle except straight forward, people who pop up their collars, people who sit in the aisle seat on the bus when others are standing, teenage boys, teenage girls, facebook, and myspace. Plenty more I can't think of right now.:
:Omg, despise facebook and myspace. Just had to say that again...
I've actually got friends who dont pick up the phone anymore due to those lecherous websites. Needless to say, they won't be friends for much longer, lol.

I worked with someone like that once - wasn't going to complain though given she was a 6ft tall blonde polish lass. Then again, getting any words out was an issue at the time...

high pitch squeaky sounds... esp rubbing balloons or rubber gloves together...
smoking - don't you know you are killing yourselves and me when you stand next to me? How would you like it if I came up to you and farted in your face?
Rabid right wing posters on ASF - surprised most of them have not been killed by their own pit bull terrier given how angry they appear to be with the world.
That's about it
Hang on, more funny than driving me nuts, all those people on share sites that post about buying at 10 cents and selling at $1 and who never seem to make a loss. Funny they never tell you at the time they bought and at the time they sold. Why is that?

I hate when this happens. They start out driving 80 in a 100 zone, and then you end up doing 130 to overtake them. What’s worse is they always seem to end up in front of you again.

When people, especially politicians, use fancy words to try and say something simple, I think half the time THEY don't even know what they are talking about, putting in every "educated" word they can, to seem "smart" I guess.
Ohh, and when you buy things, whether it be food or something else, and its wrapped and sealed up that tight with no possible hope of opening it, that you die of starvation before its open if its food.
And cyclists.
+1 for the overtaking, one day I will get an old bomb of a car, put a bull bar all the way around it and push them off into the ditch.

I so agree about this. Too many layers of packaging in pretty much everything. And then those 'child safety' lids that you need a crowbar to undo.
Plus the shrinkwrap around the delivered newspaper. Ah, and that's another thing: I long for the day they manage to deliver it flat, not rolled up so tightly that it's a struggle to read.

LMAO Gooner. I am sure the toxic stench coming from your posterior would do far greater damage than any packet of Winnie Blues would do in a lifetime.
That's the good thing about being Right Wing. They have a mind set of preserving traditional or cultural values, customs and maintaining some form of social hierarchy. *whistle* ... "Come here Spike" *woof woof* "Aaaarghhhh , down Spike ... not me bloody arm !!"
Tanked for 3k on TTY who are currently sorting funding and have been suspended since. Bought in late May for 20 cents and stopped at 22.5 cents mid June
The trolls have got them now.

Germophobes - I keep seeing ads on TV suggesting that if I don't wipe down every visible surface in my house with a disinfectant, there's be hell to pay.
And as a segue - really bad TV ads. The one with the woman wiping down kitchen benches with a piece of chicken is at the top of my list. I will never buy another Pine -O- Cleen product as long as I live.
Business jargon - the phrase 'going forward' can raise my blood pressure.
Mozzies - @!#@% bastards!

Yeh - slow drivers in the right lane are certainly annoying.
But so are fast drivers who think the right lane is their exclusive domain.
I fairly frequently drive on the Warrego Highway west of Brisbane. The left lane is so rough and chopped up in places that I avoid those sections by sticking in the right lane for as long as necessary, which is usually only a few minutes. I set the cruise control and always drive exactly at the speed limit. Yet invariably I get idiots screaming up behind me at 20 or 30 km over the speed limit, flashing their lights and sitting right on my bumper and giving me the finger if I don't move over.
Their attitude is clearly that if they want to break the law and endanger lives by speeding, they should have sole use of the right lane and everyone else should get out of their way.
If I move over and let them through, they race up behind the next car in front and give him the same treatment, even though that car is also sitting on the speed limit.
And food cartons with those quick-opening tabs on them, but when you pull the tab the bloody thing breaks off in your hand and you just about have to be a damn safe cracker to break into the thing.
Like today....I go to the fridge and get a carton of rice milk to put on my muesli. I pull the ring-style tap to open the carton, and the stupid thing immediately snaps off.
I had to get a knife and use it like a chisel by banging it with my closed fist the get it to puncture the carton.
It took so long to break into that silly carton that I was almost too weak to eat by the time I finally got some milk on my cereal.
This happens frequently will those particular cartons.
Surely it's not too much to ask that food manufacturers make sure something works properly before they release in into the market.
Yeah, i like this one.

LOL
I cleaned the house from top to bottom on Saturday, including the windows.
Got up early on Sunday and made my best banana cake, and the buggers didn't show cos one of them had the flu.
Arrrghhhhh!!
At least I still have a clean house...except for a little pile of banana cake crumbs on the floor at my trading desk.
