Never been on a military ship, but I did have to use one of the old army latrines once, where all they have is a bench with about 20 holes to sit on, and nothing deviding them. Of all the the things that make soilders flip out and go on a shooting spree, I would think being forced to sit buttcheek to buttcheek would be right at the top of the list.
Yeah, I hate when you go to piss at a public restroom during a sporting event (I'm looking at you Tiger Stadium) and all they have is the wide open troughs. You walk in and seen a billion old dude dicks.
That doesn't make any sense. Dogs can't throw rocks. Stay on topic here.
I hate people parking in the fire lane at grocery stores where there is barely enough room for two cars to pass. Now everyone has to go one at a time just so your lazy *** could drop daddy off at the front and not bother finding a parking stall. I used to pick up the wayward carts and haul them in front of these vehicles, and would sometimes tip them over if they weren't looking so they wouldn't see it when they drive off. It's funny how pissed off these lazy asses would get that they had to move 12 feet to get the cart out their way.
I was leaving a Harmon's one afternoon and was followed out the door by a woman, small and probably in her mid 60s. She had a shopping cart. I did not. I got into my truck and noticed that she was parked right next to me, and was loading her groceries into her trunk. Her shopping cart was blocking me from backing out, so, patient as I am sometimes, I decided to wait it out. She finished loading, then proceeded to move the cart directly behind my truck and leave it there. Then she got into her car and started to back out. I was incredulous, of course, because there is no way she could have missed me getting into the vehicle right next to hers. I honked my horn but she just drove off, either oblivious or completely uncaring.
It probably really only carved an extra 3 minutes out of my life, but I still feel irritated when I relate the story.
I admit to being a jerk once at Walmart and leaving my cart behind the vehicle next to mine when I left. Then, as I was getting ready to leave, someone walking toward the store stopped behind my car and started waving his arms and yelling unintelligibly. He then proceeded to move the cart behind my car and continue on his way. After waiting a couple of minutes, I cautiously got out of my car and moved the cart to where I left it originally. I wasn't going to be intimidated by some random weirdo in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

People who behave as though all other cars on the road should bend to their will.
I really can't think of a less desirable trait in a human being, and we're building a society that is breeding the hell out of these people.
This was already on the way to manifesting itself before cell phones became a part of how people drive. Holy ****, what a double whammy.

It drives me nuts when MsSerp closes her dresser drawers with clothes hanging out just a little bit. Open them, push the clothes all the way in, and then shut the drawer. It looks nicer that way. Freakin' NJ rifff raff.

Since I work with undergraduate students:
Why the **** do you think you deserve anything? You "tried" hard, eh? You put in a lot of hours, eh? Why does your work still hum on camel balls then? Why should I even return your emails that stink of privilege? You are 18-20 years old and all you've ever done (at least if you go to my university) is take from your parents and demand things of people who are so much smarter than you... and you don't even realize it.
