Okay, my tail-gating pet peeve just occurred when I was on the interstate a little while ago. 18 wheeler!  :censored:

New one...

Why is it, whenever I go to the ATM, I have to wait behind some yahoo laundering money for the Columbian drug cartel, a tax lawyer doing Enron accounting or some jerk who (and I can only speculate here) is finishing his day job work for the Department of the Treasury.

Farking  :censored: fark folks!

What are you doing at an ATM that takes 15 minutes? Deposit or withdrawal! Heck, you can do both in 5 minutes! AHHHH! Also, on the silly side, don't (do not) call it an ATM Machine! (you are not at an automatic teller machine machine!) LOL

I know that at the Wachovia location I go to, it's empty inside the building, but the ATM lane of the drive-through is simply horrible!  :mental:

Yeah, most banks just LOVE to kiss the ass of illegals.  I've been trying to find a bank that won't do business with them, but it's been a futile effort. *sighs*

I keep my savings account at a credit union, but since there is no service center here, I can't access it.  Maybe that's a good thing. LOL

Now I KNOW LL is my long lost twin! She covered pretty much my entire list.

With age I've determined that my capacity for bullsh*t has decreased. Here's a few more:

1. People who don't bathe. You know it's bad when it's cold outside and you still smell people a mile away. I nearly lost my lunch in a sandwich shop the other day. They were standing in front of us and every time someone would move, it would send a cloud of fumes our way. I kept backing up but there were people behind us too so I was trapped. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled about my food when I got it. Thank goodness they took theirs to go.

Seriously people! It's called soap! I know you walk past it. I've seen you in the grocery store. Another place they make green clouds.

2. People who tailgate you when you are going at least 10 miles over the speed limit, then when you move over, they don't pass you.

3. Parents that ignore thier children. The child is standing there saying..."mommy, mommy, mommy etc etc"  ANSWER THE CHILD...ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHILD IS THERE

4. People who clip thier fingernails in public.....do your hygeine at home, thanks.

5. I can't stand it when people just walk out into the street (or parking lot) without even making eye contact with the drivers zooming by!!! It shocked me when I first moved here because NO ONE in Texas dares walk out in front of a car without first looking both ways, making eye contact with the driver and then scurrying along as fast as they can. I guess people in Texas know you'll hit them.

6. Buffet/all you can eat hogs!!!   


I will add one more...
People that don`t flush.

1. dudes who talk on their cell phone in the crapper or at a urinal

2. dudes who blow up the restroom with toxic stench.   Dammit, wait till you get home to unleash that pollution!

3. Too few bank tellers during the busy lunch hour.   You'd think they would stagger their lunch breaks!

4. Idiot shoppers in the grocery store/department store checkout line who are practically breathing on your neck.   Especially the ones who bump you with their shopping cart!!!

5. Strangers who mistakenly call your cell or home phone several times.    You'd think after 10 times of dialing the wrong number that they would get the drift!!!!!

6. Women who wear black in the workplace ALL THE FRICKING TIME!    Wear blue or brown once in awhile for pete's sake!

7. Ass crack tats

I hate it when you are in a hurry and waiting in a checkout line or a line at the bank and some oldster strikes up a conversation with the cashier/teller telling his/her life story while completely ignoring the people in the line behind them.

I hate people that pull out in front of you and then a short distance later make a left hand turn into heavy oncoming traffic. 

I hate it when truckers pull out to pass another trucker on an interstate and then take FOREVER to pass the truck they are passing all the while going perhaps 60.  Oh and they could have waited five more seconds to let you go by first then pull out to pass. 

I hate it when you park your nice car in a somewhat isolated parking spot and then some asshole in a rusted out POS parks two inches from you.  Back when I was in college my friend had a nice Trans Am.  One night after a baseball game we were in the parking lot of a party store deciding what we needed to quench our thirst when some Mexicans in an old beat up Plymouth Belvidere pulled right up next to us.  A huge woman got out and carelessly slammed her door into my buddy's Trans Am.   Without saying a word he reached into his equipment bag in the back seat, grabbed his steel cleats and laced them up.  He got out of the car and proceeded to kick their car.  I was in the car laughing my ass off.  The fat lady's husband was in the car yelling at my buddy but he was in no mood to duke it out with some pissed off white boy with cleats that was kicking the crap out of his car.

Add HIM to my list of pet peeves.

I will also add that he is probably the very kind of person that is the perpetrator of just about all of the rude, assholish things that people do in public that are on this list, since he is above it all to be bothered by the behaviors.

More importantly, the word "Data" is a plural noun -- the singular is "datum."   The proper use is: "the data say" not "the data says."

I think the pronunciation as "DAH-ta" is acceptable, though.
