Um, your salivia is one of the first lines of defense for your immune system. Contains some pretty toxic stuff for bacteria.

Yeah, MY saliva...I don't want to be touching anybody else's saliva...who knows how long ago they washed their hands, where those hands have been. Disgusting.


Saliva or no saliva they are still spreading germs when they touch things with their hands. The saliva makes no difference.

What annoys me the most are shut-ins that are afraid of germs.

I hate it when someone makes that sound in with their throat, as if they are snuffling up a big loogie. YUCK!

People that get stuck in an intersection because their silly ass could not correctly judge traffic.....the have no regard for their fellow drivers, only the mentality of "oh, I must get pass this light even though i know I'll get stuck in the intersection after the light turns red".

:disgust:

People who think it's cool to pull a publicity stunt and show a t!t on TV in front of kids during the Super Bowl, and people who don't think this was annoying.

Coworkers who talk LOUD, when they're one cubicle away, about world problems such as the Middle East or how to cure world hunger/poverty while you're trying to concentrate on work.

People who are on the same broadband connection as yourself and hog it all using Kazaa, Bearshare, and BitTorrent at the same time d/ling God knows what.

People with bad breath who have a bad habit of invading the 2 foot zone of personal space.

People who yell profanities in the middle of a movie and think they're funny.

People who think that weaving in and out of rush hour traffic will get them home any faster.

People who bring 20 items in the Express Lane of the grocery store and act like nothing's wrong.

People who tip less than 15%-20%.

People who sell magazines or warranties and won't take no for an answer.

People who will yack away on a cell phone regardless of their current location. Restaurants....ball games....whatever......they just can't seem to SHUT THE F*CK UP. :|

In related news, some dumb biotch got tossed in the can for a few days for not turning her cell phone off while appearing for jury duty. I've been in the same courtroom (Dekalb County) and there are bigass signs all over the place warning you to turn off your phone. They also tell you several times to turn off your phone. Hers rang, she picked it up and the judge tossed her in the joint for two days. Made my day. :D

I hate it when people don't put shopping carts where they are supposed to go (the cart areas, back in the store) and instead leave them all over the parking lot.

People that don't eat everything that is on their fork or spoon. Its nasty when there is still food on the fork when they take it outta their mouth.

Even better, she's trying to sue saying she wasn't warned about the cell thing. Trust me, there are signs everywhere and the people who give you the "why you're here today" spiel tell you repeatedly as well. I was LMAO when they were interviewing here on the local news the other day. :D

People who talk on cell phone IN CLASS. They put their head down, phone under head, and whisper up a conversation. Not trying to make a conclusion, I have only seen Asian girls do it.
People who leave their shopping carts in middle of a row. Just move it to the side so everyone can get by.
Pwned, teh ... no comment.
People who ask for a ride to their car since they were too cheap to buy a parking pass and rather park a mile away on the street for free.
People who talk and joke constantly when watching movies in theater or at home.
People who ride the wrong way in the bike lane.
People who ride their bikes on the sidewalk

Good move. Although you should have gone and gotten a big bag of cheetos, gone down to help her and leave crumbs and orange "dust" all over her KB and mouse. ;-)

People who don't give an acknowledging wave in traffic when you go out of your way to let them in.
