Winning the President's Trophy for the most points in the NHL regular season seemingly every stinkin' year and then losing in the first (or second) round of the playoffs.

1.) Jack-holes at the movies who refuse to slide into the middle of the row when the theatre is filling up. Or those who leave one spot open between them and the next person, forcing you and your date/wife/etc. to split up. 2.) The idiotic cashiers at some stores that just take their sweet-ass time when there are 10 people waiting in line to check out. Just get on the speaker and call in for some backup moron. Or when you get in a line and wait for a few minutes and the cashier decides to close her line because she needs a break from her exhausting job. 3.) The guy sitting beside or near you at the game who talks the entire time about how much he thinks he knows about said team or sport, if he only knew how clueless he really is. 4.) When I stop at a gas station and first they don't take Credit Card at the pump so you know you have to make a trip inside, then there is no stop-hinge on the gas pump, so you have to stand there and hold down the handle for 10 minutes to fill up, then you go inside to pay and you have to wait in a line for ten more minutes as everyone in line in front of you is spending their families grocery money and living money on Lottery tickets when all you want to do is pay for your f-ing gas and go. 5.) When you have been waiting patiently for a few minutes for a parking spot (with your blinker on to signal your intent to pull in that spot) that is about to open in a crowded parking lot and at the last second some jerk-off coming the other way pulls in while your waiting for the car pulling out to move.

Why can't more people in this world be polite, well mannered, and more respectful of others?

I am surprised no mentioned cell phones. I actually wish cell phones were still as expensive as they were 15 years ago, this way - only people who need them for business purposes would have them, or only use them in important situations.
The other day, I saw three people yapping about nothing during my trip through the supermarket. They were just blabbing away, pushing their carts, clogging up the aisles, not paying attention. Then, out for dinner, a rude teenager kept getting calls on his cell (which had a 50 Cent ringtone!) and disturbing a fairly quiet restaurant. What the heck is so important?
<< <i>People who throw stuff in my dumpster. DAY AFTER DAY >>
I agree. What bothers me even more is guys who left a bar(there are several within 2 blocks of me as I am in a big city) and find the need to piss behind my dumpster which goes through the fence on my lawn.
<< <i>I hate people that don't know how to handle 4-way stops. Make me wanna get outta my car and start mowing people down. >>
Me too! I just go if the person wit the right of way hesitates for one second. Conversly, if some guy tries to go when it is not his turn, I will try to have him hit me. Which leads me to...

Excellent.
I check my mirrors then ease over and dog him by partially blocking the lane. >>
I don't drive an Escalade and there are times you have to merge, not in costruction areas but getting on the highway, and people won't let you in. That bothers me. I again, just go and they usually stop. Same with construction zones, sometimes its people like you that cause the guy trying to get over to go all the way to the construction arrow. I hate the guy who creeps up to the guys bumper in front of him to nt let you in. That's why I just go and unless you are prepared for an accident or are armed with more than a squirt gun, I'll be allright.
Bad drivers on a whole bother me. I am not an "offensive driver" but I hate clueless drivers.
1) People that stop at a red in the left turn lane 10 feet before the intersection so they aren't on the sensor and you don't get the arrow. 2) People who won't let you merge when enetering the expressway 3) People who are the 3rd, 4th, 5th car that turn left after the light turns red 4) People who see me stopped with my signal and reverse lights on that see I am about to parallel park and still pull up right behind me.
Shopping:
1) People who take 20+ items through the 10 item express lane as I usually only have 2-3 2) A cashier that looks and smile at you to tell you they are closed when you have waited for 20 minutes to get to the front. 3) A bum shopping cart wheel 4) Broken eggs
eBay:
1) A buyer that takes 2 weeks to pay you via Paypal and expects their item in 2 days 2) People who low ball you to end the auction early 3) The tape thing mentioned before. Jimminy Christmas!
The issue is that if the speed limit is 65 and I am in the passing lane doing 65, in theory no one should be attempting to pass me. Therefore when I get in that lane and am doing the maximun posted speed limit, I move for no one. I especially love it when I'm in a marked unit and traffic backs up.
I hate it when that happens, then trafic backs up because someone throws a wrench in the works. You have a woman who is late for a meeting, a guy who is running late for a doctor's appointment, someone who is late for work, and a soccer mom who is late picking her kid up from ballet. They are all on a road where traffic normally moves at 75 mph, but someone in a marked cruiser is holding up the normal flow of traffic. The part I really hate is when I am on the stand the next week testifying, and the person who got held up by mr. don't-pass-me-at-66 is sitting in the jury box. They figure that 5.5 grams of crack isn't much more than 4.9 grams of crack, so why should think particular defendant (with two prior felonies, one of which was an assault) go to federal prison for 30 years. What is the big deal? If it had been less than five grams of crack, the guy would be in a county courthouse making a plea deal for county jail time. Too bad mr. bigshot cop has to nitpick everything, split hairs and throw the book at everyone. No wonder the prisons are so crowded.
I'd say one of those little things that bugs me is losing part of a three-year investigation because someone on the jury has a wild hair in his backside from a cop that treated him like a criminal because it was a fun to see traffic back up behind him.

I'm standing in line, waiting to pay, and the person in front of me is digging out that 97 cents in pennies! JUST FREAKING GIVE THEM A DOLLAR BILL! Oh no, they got to pay in exact change, small change first. Twenty three pennies, 4 nickles, oh wait, I just found another penny in the bottom here, how much did I have there....Oh let me recount that. AAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Or they are digging out all that change and they fall like 15 cents short, and insist on holding the whole line up while digging around for another dime or quarter. I've often stepped up and just paid whats left for them, just so I could get going myself.
Someone mentioned about people parking in handicapped spots when they are not handicapped. My Mom was handicapped so I get pi$$ed when people do that. God gave you two good legs, use them! Don't take the spot away from someone who really needs it.

Those who pull out of a parking lot without any regard to the fact, I am riding up their rear going 55. 8. The French! 9. Those who claim that gambling is a disease, but it is not considered the same in the case of Mr. Pete Rose. 10. Those who think that the president is the reason 9/11 happened. 11. The French! 12. If I go to visit another country, I have to go through custom's, if I want to become a citizen of that country, I would have to follow the procedures set forth in that country's laws, do you get my point? 13. Those who compare my glorious Red Wings to the Yankees, that is like comparing Mike Illitch to George Steinbrenner--YIKES!! 14. Those who presume someone guilty until proven innocent--I.E. Duke Lacrosse 15. and you guessed it, THE FRENCH!!!!!!

While we're talking about driving, how about people who turn left on a two lane road when there's a double yellow line between your lane and the oncoming lane? That's usually good for a Pepsi-spilling brake slam.
"4. Those who do not take pride in their country's military."
Well, let's all be honest. The American military isn't what it used to be. No doubt there aren't some fine young men and women serving today, but it's not like we've got regiments full of Alvin Yorks sweeping through the streets of Iraq. I remember earlier in the campaign when that hillbilly gal from West Virginia got 'captured', and the nation was abuzz with pride over her courage and poise, and all I could think was 'how in the hell does a Bradley get 'off track' in a convoy?' For God's sake, just follow the vehicle in front of you.
You can only hear so many stories about APC's falling into the Euphrates, or Jeeps running into each other, before you start to wonder if the 'stoner to soldier' ratio in the Armed Forces isn't just a little askew.

<< <i>I'm standing in line, waiting to pay, and the person in front of me is digging out that 97 cents in pennies! JUST FREAKING GIVE THEM A DOLLAR BILL! Oh no, they got to pay in exact change, small change first. Twenty three pennies, 4 nickles, oh wait, I just found another penny in the bottom here, how much did I have there....Oh let me recount that. AAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
What is even worse to me, are those those who use a credit card at a 7/11 to purchase a pack of gum, and those who wait to fill out a check after everything is rang up!!!
Well, let's all be honest. The American military isn't what it used to be. No doubt there aren't some fine young men and women serving today, but it's not like we've got regiments full of Alvin Yorks sweeping through the streets of Iraq. I remember earlier in the campaign when that hillbilly gal from West Virginia got 'captured', and the nation was abuzz with pride over her courage and poise, and all I could think was 'how in the hell does a Bradley get 'off track' in a convoy?' For God's sake, just follow the vehicle in front of you.
You can only hear so many stories about APC's falling into the Euphrates, or Jeeps running into each other, before you start to wonder if the 'stoner to soldier' ratio in the Armed Forces isn't just a little askew.
