What bugs you the most? I hate it when people say 'guesstimate'. It really bugs me.

1. When I forget the lyrics of a Ramones song. :mad:

2. When little old people who are afraid to drive are in front of me in the left lane on the highway and have to turn. :headbang:

3. Slimy touchy feely people with bad breath. :eek:

4. "Win-win" speeches. :(

5. Drivers who can't merge! :headbang:

6. Monday morning meetings. :rolleyes:

7. People who say Madonna "reinvented herself." She started as a talentless sleazebucket and she will end it as a pathetic talentless sleazebucket. She just kept changing the length and color of her hair. Please. ;)

But don't get me started. :D

People who go on an online forum and set out to make some political point and emphasise this point using LOADS of smilies.

e.g. I h8 George Bush, hur hur hur. :sniper: :sniper: :sniper: :mp5:

I have too many...I lost track of many of them long ago. Some of them might've starved if I failed to tend to them, though. :(

Would this count:

George 43 and John Kerry put together don't do a thing for me. They are cloned from the same politician factory. I have no feelings one way or another. Processed cheese gets me worked up more. :p :p :p :p :p :p

You mean something like that?

Psychic blockers.

You know, those people that walk in front of you in the street carrying huge shopping bags and zig-zag along the pavement depending on what side you try and pass them on.

I usually like to smack them between the shoulder blades, break their backs and tell them "You know what that's for!"

1) People who walk slowly for no apparent reason and block you from going around them.

2) People who use apostrophes when pluralizing a word.

3) People who use "seen" as the past tense of "see."

Just a few:
Hypocrites with environmentalist stickers on their automobiles (sic).
Believers who think Jesus advocated murder, wafare and the denial of civil liberties to minorities.
Anyone who wishes my tax dollars to teach children pseudoscience.
NS'ers who don't read previous posts (hell, even an entire post) before hitting the reply link.

the fact that we are not futuristic enough yet. i was talking to one of my friends and she says that soon there will be machines that can make anything - all you will need is the blueprints whih you can download. doesn't that sound amazing. fuck shops - fuck a world trade system. there will just be trade in ideas and plans. only downside is we'll probabll all be working in call centres dedicated to servicing the machine machines. sounds heavy huih? my pet peeve is that the future isn't here yet.

I said well no s--- sherlock...what do you think the S is for?!

Oh, yeah and when people say 'to' instead of 'too' (as in 'as well') in their term papers... and people who say 'lol' in normal conversation.

I hate that. :mad:

the word pet-peeve! :)

no, mine would have to be when people lie to protect other peoples feelings, it always backfires. Honesty is so key. I like it when people can be upfront about things, come straight out and say whay they're thinking - when people try to lie about things to make them seem better, or worse, just avoid situations altogether by skirting them - drives me crazy! :(

Fat left-wing people who never had any life experience who want to tell everyone else how to live their life.

I've had to thrash someone at the airport parking lot because he couldn't keep his fat mouth shut. I bet he's a conservative now.

My biggest pet peeve is Christian missionaries who come to my door every so often and use faulty reasoning and misquotes to try to convince me to convert. Bet you weren't expecting that one?

People sitting on the seat directly in front of me on the bus (I hate having to look at the back of someone's head).
People being near me when I'm having breakfast (can't stand company first thing in the morning for some reason).
That one Harrii Christna (sp?) who always stops me in the street and refers to me as 'Mr Cool'. Always the same guy, every time!
Other people touching my egg - I have a joke rubber egg that seems to be my adult 'comfort blanket'.
