When you're stuck in traffic behind someone that you can't pass and they have a bad gasket, seal leak, or other engine problem which is spewing noxious fumes into your vehicle. With windows/vent open, it's a nice, steady stream of poison. Close the windows and vents, and the shit is stuck in your cockpit with you. With every breath you can feel the days coming off of your life. Service your cars, people!

Yeah, me too, big time.

The escalator standers do bother me as well. I hear that in London, everyone is much better about minding the side or whatever, but here in Chicago, no one knows what's going on.

People who wait to take out their wallet or purse until the cashier tells them the total. Couldn't you have a fiver or a ten in your hand while you were being rung up? Especially at coffee shops which naturally have repeat customers making repeat purchases. Nonsense.

People who do not speak loud enough. A girl I work with speaks in a way that makes me wonder if she can even hear herself. To avoid saying, "what?" or "excuse me" fifty times through the course of a conversation, I find myself just walking away midsentence.

Sometimes when I hold the door for someone, they don't 'accept' the door, they just walk out of the open door, expecting me to hold it the whole way for them, as if I am their personal doorman. Annoying.

1. When you are getting your haircut, and they cut it dry so you can hear the scissors running up the hair.

2. Someone uses the last of the toilet paper and doesn't refresh the roll.

3. Any kind of combination word: ridonculous, for example.

4. Rachel Rayesque phrases and words: veggies, EVOO, yummo, etc

5. People talking loudly about shit that no one cares about in line at the grocery store, particularly when they are supposed to be paying.

6. Riding in a car with someone that you don't know very well and they start singing along (LOUDLY) and don't seem to realize that it is uncomfortable.

7. Sticky child hands: jam hands. All children have jam hands.

you are. how did you not know?



also, rain bugs me. when i get rained on, i mean.

big groups of people walking slow on the sidewalk. i mean, i don't expect them to march single file or anything but seriously make a hole, chumps.

pedants.

the long winded.

the politically minded. yes, you've read a million things about so and so, you know the ins and outs and up fucks of the system. changing it yet?

i used to think career waitresses were bad, some chefs...jeez. you cook. you're not god's gift to food. and regardless of how good your food may or may not be, i'm still gonna turn it into shit.

veggies and yummo i get, but what is EVOO?

when i'm on the phone, i do not like to hear the sounds of the other party eating in my ear. it's rude and very annoying.

Extra virgin olive oil.

Most any non-talking noise on the phone is up there as well.

You can now find it in a store or rectum near you:

Rachael Ray needs to be boiled in a vat of her beloved EVOO.

People not using turn signals drives me insane. I guess there are a whole bunch of cars that didn't ship with that "option"

I have discovered tonight that I have a pet peeve after all:

people who drive straight across an intersection FROM THE TURN LANE.

Granted, my home town has some fucked up streets, but they've been the same fucked up streets for about three decades. People must have noticed the big white arrows in the lanes AT SOME POINT.
