People who don't like the 1st 3 Die Hard movies or any John Rambo movie. Just move to Cuba already if you hate America that much.

The fact that The Weather Channel has taken it upon themselves to name winter storms now. It's a freaking cold front with snow, people, not a hurricane.

Wait. The Weather Channel has a name for the 12 inches of new snow on my roof, yard, and driveway? Why? Heavy March snows are a "tradition" in Minnesota. The storms are usually referred to simply as "The Boys High School Hockey Tournament Storm." This one just hit a little early. To most of us it's just "Sonnaofbitch! My Back Hurts."

When people get mad at you for holding a door open for them. Seriously you're mad that I am being nice?

Okay, I finally came up with one. (Really it makes me laugh my as$es off; but I do also find it puzzling.) You know how someone inevitably steps up to the checkout counter and presents a card, and the clerk looks at it? This is for the one's who wrote see ID? And then when the clerk asks for the ID the person gets all upset? I have seen this a half-dozen times and I am just as amazed every time. I am always the one who says, "Have a wonderful day," if the clerk doesn't!

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.

Vegans who go to steakhouses.

I just came here to complain about vegans... lol

Now i am a part time vegan myself... six days a week and on the seventh we eat what we want.

With that said the following gets to me:

Vegans who act better than.

Vegans who openly express their disgust, or make gagging sounds when someone else eats meat... You are not eating it b1tch so shut hell up about it and let others enjoy it!

Vegans that are OBVIOUSLY into the diet only because it's trendy and they want to be 'cool'... usually these people are the very ones also doing the first two issues.

Gluten-free is the new "I'm special" dietary trend. I feel for the 1% of people who really are gluten intolerant, but way too many are doing it to get attention and cool points. Funny story, I dropped an entree off at the restaurant where I work, and the guy says to me "now you're sure this is a gluten-free meal, because I'm totally gluten free." Meanwhile, he's drinking a beer, which is basically liquid gluten. Firggin' people, I tell ya.

Slow goers. I don't really understand why anyone would ever want to go slow in the first place, but if you must go slow please do not do it in my way. If we're driving, stay in the freaking right lane. If we're walking down a street, stay out of the middle of the sidewalk. And if we are about to get off the subway during the morning rush and you aren't in a hurry to get to the stairs first, please do not position yourself to be the first person off the train you selfish sumbitch.

Okay now I really have one. Guess how many door dings I have in my car? It is a Forester that I have had for a few years. Not meant to be pretty, just functional.

Seventeen. Guess how many I had before I put my ND stickers on last year? One.

I bring this all up because I was walking out to my car today and I saw it rock; I heard the bang too. It was a guy in a RAM kind-of pickup with a block M everywhere. He opened the door with as much force as he could, aiming for the Leprechaun on the gas cover. AND THEN HE GOT OUT TO LOOK AT HIS HANDIWORK!!! (Another pet peeve, gas caps on the right hand side). Anyway, smiling, I asked him what he was doing, and he told me how he was a Michigan fan, and how he hated ND. I laughed, and without missing a beat I jumped up as I walked toward him. All four inches as NDDomer can attest; just high enough to get my forearm accidentally hooked on his drivers side mirror. Well, when I came down, so did his mirror, naturally.

Didn't break off all the way; he probably had one of those heater dojobies, or turn indicator wires or an inside adjuster, or such. When I brushed myself of, I told him, that I was a Notre Dame fan, and I didn't naturally hate anyone except pussy's that intentionally ding up your car when they think nobody was looking. I then wished him a nice day, walked back around my hood, unlocked my car and opened my glove box before I started the car and pulled out of my space. To the best of my recollection, he was still standing there as I left. I don't expect to hear from him, but if I do, it should be fun!

To echo what Rhode said, I absolutely cannot stand people that sit in the left lane. It literally might be the most frustrating experience of all time

Guys that don't take off their hats during the playing of the National Anthem.

Yes!

I went to the Coyotes/Ducks game a couple nights ago and I was in line for a beer as the national anthem started playing. The entire staff, from the guys working the fryers to the ushers, stopped working and walked to the tv monitors and took their hats off and sang the anthem. It was really awesome.

Young people that walk slower than I do.

People that don't pick up their dogs poop after the pooch drops a landmine at the park.

Fat kids who sit in front of their TV all day instead of playing outside.

This whole "bully" epidemic; learn to fight you pussies! Kids have always been picked on but are so coddled these days that it's become some huge issue. Someone's picking on you? Punch 'em in the ****ing mouth!

I guess what it boils down to is that I hate this latest crop of kids/teens. They're lazy and ungrateful pussies.
