    Alright, we've all got 'em... right, wrong, or indifferent. So spill it, what are yours!?!

    I'll go first, these are my top three :D... (I'm sorry if you do any or all of these, we can still be friends)

    1. I HATE it when people get a hamburger and just pull the paper down as the eat or they try to eat with the paper in their face. Freakin take the burger out, set the paper down and eat over the paper!

    2. Using straws. Straws are the biggest retard tool on the planet. If you aren't capable of drinking a beverage from an open top container... you have issues. Hold the glass, cup, dog bowl whatever... be an adult.

    3. The misuse of the phrase "I could care less,"... if you could care less, then that means you actually care.

    I have quite a few, but here is but a taste.

    1. Call me, then sit in absolute silence. Don't freakin call me if you don't wanna talk!

    2. Don't ask me a question you don't actually want an answer to. If you ask, guess what? I'm gonna answer! HA!

    When you spend time with a person and they are always talking on the cell phone.

    Not just, "Hey man, yea, I'll call you back." That would be fine.

    What bothers me is when you are in a social situation with someone and they have legitimate conversations with people who call them that take away from what you are actaully doing with the person you are spending time with.

    1. People that don't push in their chair after they leave the table.

    2. People that impede traffic, pedestrian or vehicular, by stopping to converse with someone else while you wait. It could be in an isle, intersection, roadway or even a doorway.

    How about that guy that has to scratch off his lotto ticket while you wait to pay for your gas!!?? :mad:

    This is going to be fun



    1. People who pass me on the interstate only to slow back down and make me pass them again, and again, and again. Vehicles come with a cruise control for a freaking reason

    2. The side by side 18 wheelers who both run 55 mph on a 70 mph interstate for 10 miles

    3. The guy who leaves a nasty fart in the isle of a grocery store only for me to run into (I call it crop dusting)

    4. When a 2 lane road goes to one (because of construction, ect) and everyone merges except some jackass who goes all the way to the end and the cuts everyone off resulting in a near 100 car pile up

    5. My wife when we are watching what she wants to watch on tv, but she isn't paying attention..........shes on her phone on facebook (I swear I'm taking the internet off it)

    6. People who grab a beer out of my cooler without asking. Just freaking ask, I will say yes!

    Fog lights. Damn things are brighter than high beams, at least some of them.

    Here's my take on straws.I use a straw because you never know what is on the rim of that glass that you put your mouth on. The waitress/waiter might have just wiped thier stinking butt and poked a hole in the toilet paper with thier finger then grabbed your glass from the top. No sir ree buddy, call me a sissy or whatever, but I will and do use a straw when eating out.

    People who drive in the left lane 1 mile an hour faster than the right lane. Move the "F" over and let everyone pass.

    Employee's that ask the same question over and over.

    People in grocery stores that block the isle with there cart then get piss when you move it.

    One of mine is the cigarrete butt out the window and damn near hits your windsheild. Keep the butt in YOUR car.

    When people don't say "Thank-you" when I hold the door open for them leaving or entering a establishment.

    When people don't make thier kids listen or behave in public.

    A question for those of you that don’t like it when people can’t get their kids to behave. Are you annoyed with the kid misbehaving or are you annoyed with the parents that are LETTING their kids misbehave?

    Also, do you give parents the benefit of the doubt that try to get their kids to behave but it is just that their kids are cranky at that time? I am referring to younger children of course.

    Just curious.

    For me it's not crying kids thats part of being a child its the ones that show bad manners and the parents are not even paying attention to them which is why they probably act like that. Young kids are young kids, cry want everything that is completely different for me and normal. The ones that should know better that act rude. I am not saying my view is right it's not my buisness, but it is still a pet pieve of mine. If we acted up or were misbehaving I got into trouble so that's what I come to know.
