And they're too damn lazy to clear off their headlights and taillights.  You don't know when they're braking!  Not good. 

Well at least they HAVE taillights; here in Houston I swear it must be the non working taillight capital of the world.

And idiots here who tow car with a rope; where are the friggin cops to stop them???

grrrrrrr :censored:

That commercial for some big energy company.  On the left screen is a guy labeled "Engineer."  On the right side is a lady labeled "Teacher."  She's demanding, petulant and whiney...."WHERE ARE THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES????  WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING????  WELL, WHERE ARE THEY????   WE NEED THEM NOWWWWWW!!!!!"

I just want to bitchslap her for being such a DUmmie.  Haven't seen the commercial in a few days, maybe they pulled it.

Oh, I saw that and my teeth started grinding without any intervention by my cerebrum--it was all autonomic nervous system. I kept thinking--THERE'S NO REASON FOR THIS, NONE! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

People who damage library books.  At least four times in the last year I've taken out a cookbook from my local library, only to find that someone tore out some pages.  One book's entire chicken recipe section was gone, just ripped out.  Photocopies aren't that expensive, you asshat!  Other people might like to read those books, too.   :argh:

I checked out one particular book that I was looking forward to, and the entire section I was interested in was torn out! :mad:

Getting into a great book, taking it with you on the train to work (if you commute that way--I drive a short distance to the subway station, park, then take the M train...ANYway), and then forgetting it at work! Especially over the weekend! Ohhhhh, I HATE that.

First thing I do anymore when book shopping...check the copywrite date.

I got really tired of buying "repeats".... :argh:

Oooooohhh....losing a book that way is a bit worse than a Peeve (what's above a Peeve?). But it's similar, especially if you're going somewhere you KNOW you're not going to be able to buy it and finish it. And if you were planning on having it for beach reading...

I have learned to only take current paperbacks that I can easily pick up at a grocery or Walgreen's. I take one with me, on the plane in my totebag, and pack the rest.

Tip jars at any food place without table service, and then the concomitant dirty looks you get when you don't tip. Let me get this straight--you (the ones with the tip jars) think I'm going to tip you for just 3 minutes of work--ringing me up on the register and passing the order along to the kitchen? After which I pick up my bag of food and leave, and you do nothing more? Not happening.

This phrase:

"WHERE YOU AT?"

I mean, couldn't the speaker at least add an identifier at the end such as "Where you at, Bob?" for our listening pleasure?  Sheesh!!

Hearing someone chew their damn food!

Ugh!

Close your mouth when you chew, neanderthal!

Oh, and don't call me while you are eating.  Ever.

So damn disgusting...

Heh. You can often tell by the echo effect if that's the case...but when I hear flushing, it's all over.

Walking into a bathroom that smells of fresh shit and cigarette smoke.
