You obviously have never been to Idaho.

I hate it when people call an iPod Touch and iTouch. Also because of having to spend some time in speech therapy to learn how to say "R"s correctly the cereal Quisp is pretty cringe inducing.

you just need to learn to gwin and bear it...

a consistent pet peeve of mine is when people, mainly tourists, walk in the middle of the street and move about 6 inches out of the way when a car needs to pass - and then give the driver angry looks for getting so close to them...

AND the folks listening to the tour narrative through headphones who step back off the curb into the street while looking through their camera's viewfinder - never realizing that there's a car coming...

sometimes I try to find the nastiest rap/hip hop music I can find and turn my car radio up as LOUD AS IT WILL GO....

of course, another pet peeve is when you can hear other people's car radio from a mile away, especially the bass...
:wink:

Hans & Franz radio commercials.
The white gangster voice.
People who purposefully get into wrecks during rush hour so they have an excuse for being late to work. I'm convinced this is the cause of 97.6% of all morning freeway wrecks.

When dickbags sit on equipment at the gym and chat up their buddies for a half hour

Toe shoes

Businesses that don't let their employees have facial hair

Anyone under 35 that has a mustache

cell phone batteries that don't want to keep a charge

Pens that don't work or that you have constantly shake and screw around with to get to work...for 10 seconds...before you rinse, lather and repeat.

how about those who purposely LOOK like wrecks so they have an excuse to be late? I worked with someone for 2 years who actually would work pretty hard to achieve a "my alarm didn't go off, I just got out of bed" look about her, mismatched clothes, hair and makeup askew - and then come in and take an extra-long break to get herself fixed up.


when someone pretends not to notice or hear something, but then does or says the exact thing they were pretending not to notice


like, you're next in line at the bakery, and there is one cinnamon twist left, and the person ahead of you selects a bunch of other stuff, and as they're paying you comment to your friend "oh good, there's one cinnamon twist left" and all of the sudden that person ahead of you in line decides they really must have one more item added to their order, and guess what it is....
