People who walk around talking on blu tooth headsets.
He he yeah, I used to work with a higher end Engineer at Honeywell in Enviromental Testing, we'd be walking around and he'd see other engineers talking on bluetooth and remark "oh look another Borg"

I miss it.

I have a bluetooth ear piece, but it's for receive only. LOL It's connected to my scanner so I can hear the local PD and fire when I'm out and about and no one can give me shit. Tried that once in the airport and attracted all kinds of attention including a pilot and security guard.

People who drive around blasting their car's sub at 1am on a weeknight. Do they not work to get money to afford these toys?

The baby junk they are hauling around outweighs the baby ten fold.

Or worse, the double wide stroller.

To add to the kid thing, pretty much anybody who takes small children to inappropriate places. Movie theaters showing PG-13+ movies, romantic restaurants, etc. Or dragging them anywhere when the kid is clearly tired.

They try to turn an OT thread into a political one.

They never pass up an opportunity to share their opinion, especially when their opinions are uninsightful.

They use the passing lane(s) for something other than passing.

People who get political in an OT thread or have to bring god damn politics into every damn discussion.

People who refer to others as lefties or righties or other stupid labels just to make it "us versus them" because it's so cool to hate on other people.

Oh, guy above beat me to it.

Yeah.

I know those myself I live near and intersection where they pull up at night now and then with Subs that are really crappy to begin with and sit there 5 minutes, it sounds like half the car about shaken loose and rattling.

It's tempting to get a .357 out and just shoot the hell out of the rear end of the car, but that's a no no I guess.

I understand that this irritates people, but I don't understand WHY it irritates people.
because anyone walking around in a circle that looks like they are talking to themselves waving their hands around with no disregard for what they are saying looks a bit psychotic perhaps.

What about when you're not "waving your hands?" It was sure irritating to not have a headset when I received multiple calls while making multiple trips in/out of an access-controlled building to carry groceries to my upstairs apartment.

Got me, usually I see waving of hands involved, maybe they were trying to be "look at me I'm on bluetooth and working" at the time.

About like that most meetings thing being useless I guess.

Lots of show, and little produced.
