Sorry, this is off topic... But I saw a lady the other day that had to have been 70 driving while talking on a cell phone. That is annoying and slightly funny.

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 wonder if anyone makes a armored safety vest

Re: That's annoying.

I know this is an old thread, but something really annoyed me.

I was doing a math problem and I was on problem 17. I was having trouble on part B so I was going to check the back of the book to see if the answer gave me an idea. You see, odd numbers are always in the back but not the even. B wasn't there. There was A and C but no B. I noticed all of the problems were like that. They have A C E but not B D F. The book seems to think that B is an even letter. So on to my pet peeve.

THERE ARE NOT EVEN LETTERS. Odd and even only applies to numbers. Not letters.

Re: That's annoying.

People not reading the game manual and then posting questions with "obvious" answers found in the rules. That annoys me to no end... Especially when it's the nth thread on the topic.

Re: That's annoying.

People who cut me off when im on a bike and yell "get on the sidewalk jerk!" even though im going 25mph on a 25mph road.

When people make fun of me for riding a bike everywhere (i dont have a license yet and a bike is much cheaper than a car. expecially with gas!) and its a nice bike too. a jamis ventura sport.

Re: 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.

Don

Re: That's annoying.

People who yell things out of cars at me while I'm riding my bike (more so if I know them, if they're strangers it's somewhat excusable).

People who cut me off on my bike. I mean really; I was going 30 in a 25, and I almost ran into the guy who cut me off because he couldn't wait five seconds to turn. I had to lock up my rear wheel to stop.

People who drive "sports utility" vehicles yet clearly don't do any sports. The people don't have much utility, either.

Re: That's annoying.

When I am walking around in a suburb and some random person yells " Learn to drive!!!" Its also happened when I've walked in crosswalks when the light has changed and its my turn to go. I've also gotten people yelling "Get a life!"

Do people have nothing better to do than to yell at pedestrians? How about they focus on driving themselves around rather than why a pedestrian (that's minding his own business) is not driving.

>Ticking clocks.
>Heizenberg's uncertainy principle.

>Petroleum fuels (they're just too darn energy dense and hard to replace!)

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

Re: That's annoying.

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.

Re: That's annoying.

People who call it a GPS System....
People who call their computers their "cpu" when they actually mean "pc"

generally, uninformed people who assume too many things.
