In no particular order...

1) the plastic wrapping/packaging that most modern electronic stuff comes in, I just bought a battery charger and an SD card today and I've nearly stabbed myself several times trying to get the things open!!

2) When I'm cycling, a car overtakes me only to either a) turn into a junction or a driveway when I intend to go straight ahead! or B) slow down totally after closing off the amount of space I have between the side of their car and the sidewalk. which nearly results in going through their rear windscreen.

3) Aberdeen (where I live)

4) Biologically "ticking" women, women over here are giving into their "clocks" far too early over here (late teens/early 20's) . They hardly ever want to broaden horizons, gain skills, travel, or anything like that. It's a case of finish school/uni -> find bloke -> set up home -> fire out sproglet

5) People Getting married/getting devorced and saying it costs too much. DON'T GET MARRIED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

6) The financial state of the country I live in, this pisses me off in so many ways I could start my own college course in Economics from it! there are too many subsequent things to mention because of this.

I'm probably going to add more to this in due course, but that's what gets my goat just now

come over to the states :P

we have plenty of terrible drivers where i live. which leads to my next peeve.

when you have two cars side by side in the passing lane and right lane which leaves me stuck and usually late for work >:(

people in my small town particularly annoy me just because since there is nothing to do here, people decide to make rumors up about other people which gets VERY OLD.

1. People who use the cell phone while peeing in the bathroom. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I try to make as much noise as possible when people do this and see if I can get the attention of the person on the other end.

2. The economic, political, and social policies of the state of New York. There is a reason I decided to leave. NY has taken a nose dive in the past 20 years, business are fleeing for their lives, the state government is screwing everyone they can for money, and then pissing it down the drain on some of the most mismanaged social programs in the country. Let's just say I have issues with their competence.

3. Our governments inability to comprehend the effects of their own foreign policies.

4. Things that don't work the way they are supposed to.

5. People who talk the theater. There's a special place in Hell for those people.

1) Sheep.

For instance: Theres a double door, yet only one of them is open. A huge group of people comes along and they all squeeze through this one door. None of them even try to open the other door which would make things a lot faster. Its fun to watch, but very annoying.

2) Sheep.

For instance: You have a law that SHOULD be passed to make things easier...just for example say...the European Union. Theres a group of people who oppose this law so they spread false propaganda about it, saying that the new law will force them to have microchips implanted into their babies and other nonesense, so the people vote against the law solely based on what they heard and not on the facts.

3) Sheep.

People who sit on their behinds accepting the status quo thinking things can't be better.

People who need to initiate forum replies with a condescending "um..." annoy me.

continued:

>people who recognize you at parties, but don't bother to remember your name.. instead they replace it with "buddy", "pal", "dude", or "bro" when they talk to you.

>anyone who says "bro" more than once in a conversation.

I had this happen to me last night - going to the cinemas and having a young child kick the seat of your chair throughout the whole movie.

People who talk (or yell "I need to go to the toilet") throughout a whole movie should be banished back to black and white television.
