That's annoying.

For cycling... Vehicles that, with plenty of room to go around, don't. In fact, the #1 best way to irritate me/make me nervous is to go my speed when you have room, especially if I'm making an effort to let you go by.

(Had a car once that did that. When I absolutely had to take more room in the road due to a parked car, they honked and sped by. I think they were laughing. I figure anyone who tries that to me again, I can remember a license plate number.)

Back when the thread was first created, this wasn't offered in the USA. Prescience perhaps?

Little things that annoy me:

People who don't do their job, forcing you to bug them constantly
People who are not competent to do their job and don't even know it
People who drive poorly - especially following me too closely.

There's more, I'm sure... but these bug me on a relatively high duty cycle.

I know we avoid politics here, so I won't go into detail...But definitely the bailout.

People who get all their answers from someone else and then brag about their grade.

People who go out of their way to meet a celebrity.

People that speak foreign languages to communicate in front of you without you understanding them. Yes, I have a couple of Mexican friends that like to leave me out of many conversations.

To add on:
People who use big words to appear intelligent(most of them are not really as smart as they let on.)
People who take good statistics and use them to mislead someone.
People who can't go two minutes without cussing.

I agree.

Also --
People who say robotics is just something someone does, and it doesn't take effort.
People who say horseback riding isn't a sport.
People who contradict my essays for class when they are correct.
People who say "I concur" all the time.
The law.
GEORGE W. BUSH <-- MAJOR
my list goes on forever about things that annoy me.

[Burmeister #279]

People who think they aren't smart enough to even try robotics.
People who are to arrogant and think robotics is a waste of their time.
[edit] People who completely avoid robotics team members because they think that they will become nerdy by association.
People who are told two or three times to do something and don't.
Testing the robot for the fist time somewhere around midnight the night before ship.

People who think being nerdy is a bad thing (why is our society anti-intellectual, anyway?)
People who are told two or three times to not do something and do.

People that drive with brights on
People that don't use blinkers
People that come up on stop signs fast
People that tailgate (always happens to me even though I drive 5+ of the speed limit)
Louisiana drivers (hopefully no one from Louisiana is offended)

Stupid people
Microsoft Windows

People who are late

Excuse me, but how is that grammatically incorrect?

People who call them blinkers. Honestly, I think we might as well call them thingamajigs or dohickeys. Let's use proper terminology. They are turn signals.

As many have put before: Please take no offense. Just a personal annoyance.
