I watched a movie the other night that was made less than 10 years ago. There was a street scene and the in the background there was a gas station. Every price listed was under $2 gallon, except premium, which was $2.05. In Los Angeles. Grrrr.

People who ask dumb questions in class just to hear their own voice

When I'm at a game and the people behind me feel like they need to commentate the whole game as if they worked for ESPN.

When people in class volunteer to read but they read like 10 words a minute.

Girls that don't call themselves a hoe but their facebook pictures belong on a porn site.

When my law professor calls the Golden Dome the "Rusty Dome".

People that pull out right in front of me but decide to go 10 below the speed limit

When people leave their shopping carts in the parking lot without returning them to the cart corral.

Why should everyone else who wants to go grocery shopping have to dodge your shopping cart? You can't take 5 seconds to put the cart away? Your time is really so much more important than everybody else's? My blood boils when I finally see a parking spot in a crowded parking lot, and then, once I start to pull in, find that the spot isn't really empty; there's just no car in it because someone left a cart there. Jerks.

People who bring oversized carry-ons onto an airplane and expect them to fit in the overhead bin - as if the rules don't apply to them.

People who can't control the volume of their voice when talking on a cell phone in a public place.

People who are repeatedly late - you have a ****ing watch, now use it and respect other people's time.

At a stop sign, waiting to make a turn and a vehicle coming from the left waits till the last second to use their turn signal (if use it at all), especially in heavy traffic, when you miss a window to pull out because of it!

People asking me the same damn question over and over. One of my ex's was notorious for doing that, so damn annoying.

People who take an elevator one floor, when there is a perfectly good, easily accessible staircase. You are slowing the rest of us down, man!

Dead silence in restaurant bathrooms. Play some damn music or something. I don't want to hear some guy blasting away in the stalls, then return to my dinner.

Thank you for that, Jake.

I get the heavy breathing fat guy in the stall next to me at work everytime I sit down. I put the toilet on constant flush so I don't have to hear him struggle.

Sorry, all you needed to do is tell me. I will be quieter next time!

People who never say "please" or "thank you".

Any movie with Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Cyclists on the road that act like they have right of way every g****** place they go.

I really wanted to post on this board, so I thought long and hard, and I came up with nada. (SP?) Nothing really grinds me. Situationally I supposed I can get fed up, but overall, when someone is being a smart a$s, it makes me smile. And as long as I don't hit somebody at a high rate of speed, I am okay with eclectic driving habits. Shoot, this is a change, who'd a thunk it?

To piggy back on that... cyclists that wanna be treated with the same respect as motorists but decide that they don't have to obey stop signs.

To piggy back more, the Tour de France. Every year when this starts all of the little biker farts break out the spandex and who could care less that they force the long line of cars behind them to do 15 MPH.

When you're sitting at a stop sign and someone who has the right of way stops, no matter how much traffic is behind them, and waves you on to go in front!! Why do you stop? You have no ****ing reason to! Just follow traffic laws!!!

Spandex alone should get a mention in this thread anyway.

Well, at least dudes wearing spandex.

Dudes down in D.C. wear them year 'round. It's quite disturbing.

How about the show Girls and every media idiot's love for it? It's like a half-witted Sex and the City but uglier.
