4. People who talk in restrooms.
Someone once sent me a video regarding this, and how it can lead to the end of human civilization. I laughed so hard my ears fell off.
1. People who don’t wash their hands after using the restroom.
I see this sometimes at work and think, "Good God you asswhole! Your a f@$%ing adult and a professional, try and act like it."
2. Teachers using poor grammar
Lol... In Quebec, we have english teachers that don't speak english. How's that for ridiculous?!?

On the subject of talking during movies:
I went to see a movie with some friends on an off-night working at Scout camp. (I think it was The Simpsons Movie- it was about one in the morning, so I was pretty out of it.) There were about five other people in the theater, all young teenagers, all talking VERY LOUDLY.
My buddy Josh leaned back in his seat. "Could you please quiet down?"
The kid kept talking.
"Seriously, dude, could you quiet down, please?"
The kid still kept talking.
A pause.
"SHUT THE F@#+ UP, YOU LITTLE PRICK!
He stopped.
The original list would be perfect, if you just add -
5.5 Drivers who drive very slow in front of you on the Highway, and when you go to pass them, they speed up just so you can't. A subset of this would be the guy who speeds up just enough to drive parralel to another slow driver, and then matches speeds with them, forcing EVERYONE to drive at their speed (we call that a 'moving road-block').
Another driving related one (I don't have my own list) -
Small animals that run 90% across the road ... and then dart back the other way in front of you. They plan that, you know......
*smacks Heath with the irony hammer*
Naah. That's rude.
Let's take that a step further!
*Smacks Heathy with ironing hammer.
I had to learn this factoid...
It doesn't help when Gainesville, Fl gets overrun one night in July 1990 with neo-nazis recruiting EVERYWHERE you go, and you can't say anything because there's 10 bald guys with doc's and god knows what else asking you if you're down with white power, and you have a girl with you.
But, yeah...
Okay, I'm going to need this skinhead thing explained to me. Are you referring to guys who shave their head regularly or the idea that there is more than one type of skinhead? Because as a black man who shaves his head regularly, this interests me greatly.

I was referring to the Skinhead subculture. There's a bunch of different little groups. For example:
- Trads (Trojans)
- Neo-Nazis
- RASHes
- SHARPs
- Oi! Boys
- Suedeheads
There's also a few offshoots and associated groups:
- Straight Edge
- Youth Crew
- Hardliners
- DIY punks
Fascinating, facsinating.

Oh, I was talking about my first impression of skinheads was slanted by a bunch of white power goombahs.
I also was bald for a while; when I went into basic training I found the lack of hair somewhat liberating. It felt really good to not get sweat and the heat of the day caught up in this pelt sitting on my cranium.

Hey now, there will be no smacking anyone around here unless I do it with my whip. Eileen rule #78, section 4, subsection 3c.

Does anybody ever do anything peevesome just because the madding crowd seems so damn rude and aggressive that you just want to do something snotty to let them all know that you don't have pantywaist tattooed on your forehead with a hot needle and ballpoint pen ink, and that stepping on your blue suede shoes is akin to courtin' calamity?
Movie theater etiquette would increase a thousand fold if they'd just open every movie with the Aqua Teen Mastodon intro (NSFW-ish).

10. Getting on the mostly-full bus, and every seat is taken by a single person and their bag, and everyone is suddenly asleep, engrossed in a book, very interested in the sidewalk outside their window, rubbing their eyes--whatever it takes to act like they don't see you so you have to ask someone, usually twice, "pardon me, do you mind if I sit here?"
9. Getting on the bus and the only empty seat is with someone who is too big for one seat.
8. Getting on the bus and the only empty seat is with someone who hasn't bathed in five days.
7. Getting on the bus and the only empty seat is behind someone who decides to suddenly fully recline their seat just after you sit down.
6. Getting on the bus and realizing you somehow forgot the headphones to your iPod.
5. Getting on the bus and realizing you also forgot to bring a book.
4. Accidentally getting on the wrong bus.
3. Getting on the bus and the only seat is beside a guy who desperately wants to tell you his entire life story.
2. Getting on the bus, it's completely full, the windows don't open, the AC is broken, it's +93F with 80% humidity, you have a 35 minute ride, the guy beside you outweighs you by 60 pounds, and he hasn't bathed in 5 days; and the guy in front of you decides to fully recline his seat just after you sit down.
1. Riders who won't voluntarily stand when a pregnant woman, mother with a baby, or elder boards--yes, I will loudly ask for your seat when a woman boards the bus and she's eight months along, the bus is full, and I'm already standing. And if you don't get up, I will make sure everyone on the bus hears me exhort you to be a gentleman, and when you don't comply I will be sure everyone is aware of your selfishness and disobedience of the sign that clearly says you must give up your seat for the elderly, handicapped and pregnant.
Exact change only, please...

Your money is now our money, and we will spend it on drugs!

--TV programs that are available in the UK and include the original music, but are unavailable in the US in their original format due to music licensing (like Dawson's Creek--not that I watch that show or anything...)

back in my reckless days, if they pulled a "moving road block" on me, i'd just pass in the breakdown lane or shoulder...

Oh good...I'm glad I found this, I need to vent.
10) People that come into restaurants JUST to start trouble and get free food.
9) Miley Cirus....anything that came from the loins of the guy who did "Achy Breaky Heart" is the spawn of the devil.
8) Drivers who go slow and when you try to pass them they speed up, they need to lose their driving privileges and their eyes.
7) People who eat their Fillet Mignon's well done...why don't I just throw it in the deep fat fryer and serve it to you...it will taste the same.
6) Mullets...its time has passed...end it.
5) Fanatical 4e haters/lovers...IT'S A #(*&%(*@#^%(*@()*# GAME!!!! Get over it.
4) Dane Cook. Why the gods haven't struck him down with lightning is BEYOND me.
3) Having to work 13 hours in a day to end up with physical pain...my knees hurt...
2) People who are rude to servers. They might have messed up taking your order..but thats no reason to berate and belittle them. That's my job.
1) Friends who backstab you.

i was called a racist on a bus once, buy a LOT of people, for asking a black kid (16 or 17, looked to be in perfect health) to get up for an 80 year old hispanic woman with five grocery bags.

this is why i'll NEVER work in a restaurant again.
oh, and add "people who tell you you were the BEST WAITER THEY'VE EVER HAD", and tip 5%...
1. Drivers who go five or ten under the speed limit, don't use their signals, drift across the lanes, randomly speed up and slow down, brake at every traffic light, whether it's green or not, suddenly brake even when there's no-one behind them, turn on their signal after they parked in the turn lane... all while talking on a cellphone.
As a police officer, we call these people intoxicated and would pull them over for DUI. I smile when I find these people....

Damn, man. For some reason, s$!$ like that happens to me all the time.

So, I just saw the new Batman movie! Rocking-awesome!!
I said, "man, I have to have the soundtrack." So I walked to the PX (military department store), and they had no copies. No problem, I'll head on over to iTunes. I happened to look at Amazon first, where the album is cheaper, the downloads are DRM-free, and 256kbs. Spectacular!
I downloaded the amazon MP3 downloader program, then moved to make my purchase...
We are sorry...
We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
You have got to be kidding.
This is what causes law-abiding citizens to visit Pirate Bay.
I got my music from iTunes, but now I'm waiting for the message from them that says,
"Sorry, but your IP Address is not in the Land of Milk and Honey, so it sucks to be you! No music for you, one year!!"
4. People who omit all capitalization...i have a rare and incurable allergy to the shift key. they're going to have a telethon and everything :)
i also cannot punctuate
i will make a donation at the telethon
"I couldn't care less", "near miss" and all other intent-meaning contradictions. Think about what the hell you're saying before you say it!
People who don't use their turn signals. It takes one tenth of a calorie and it lets other drivers and pedestrians know what you're thinking. Oh I see the problem; you're just not thinking.
Critics. F you and your overdeveloped sense of taste. Sometimes a good movie is just about hott lead actors and sh!t blowing up, and you know what? That's okay.
Walmart and other mega stores that half the country seems to regard as a weekend vacation destination for them and their screaming brats.
Ads, whether on tv or radio. Necessary evil, my @ass. I'm paying for the damn service, so why is one third of my programming being interrupted by this load of BS?
Dumb@ss savings time. It doesn't save anything, it just tricks us ignorant plebeians into getting up an hour early. You want to see more daylight hours? Adjust your sleep schedule, but I don't want to put up with your little compulsions. It's unconstitutional!
The roman calendar. I never learned that little rhyme to remember which months have how many days; in fact everything between February and August is a big blur to me. But you know what? I don't care because the roman calendar is a bunch of arbitrary BS resulting from a bunch of pompous self-important caesars whose empire crumbled hundreds of freaking years ago.
Our little American measurements. Twelve inches to the foot? Thirty thousand nine hundred and four point seven two feet to the mile? What is this, Harry Potter with goblets and galleons? America needs to get its head out of its @ss and join the freakin team. Can't be bothered to learn a complicated new system? Well then I can't be bothered to call you functionally intelligent. Ten millimeters to the centimeter; one hundred centimeters to the meter; a thousand meters to the kilometer; it's not g!&##% rocket science!
That's not ten, but that felt great!

I like our quaint refusal to capitulate to Europe. It's like the UK keeping the pound.
Do you know I couldn't even look at the Wal-Mart MP3 webpage because of my IP Address?!
