If I was a cop, I would ticket those worthless garbage.

religous nuts who try and convert you (different than debating religion)...and want you to respect their religion if you argue back

people who suck at driving in general

people who say they will do something and then don't

coworkers who do nothing and you can't get anything done because you have to work as a team

I would agree, but I also think we're ALL rubberneckers. Don't tell me you ALWAYS look straight ahead when you're at the scene of an accident. You glance, even if it's for not a long time.
I glance to see what the fvck they're looking at but that doesn't mean I hit the brakes at ANY point. I make it a point not to hit the brakes because it'll cause a chain reaction of people who do the same. There's nothing that pisses me off more than that, I swear. I just want to honk the sh!t out of them when they're going through there braking but there's always cops around too...

LMAO....does she pick it up?

No she doesn't. She sees me through the window mouthing curses at her, but she just walks off. She lives alone and looks like a LPGA champion.

Video tape or take a picture of that shiznit, man.

Seconded.

I *HATE* it when people constantly talk during a movie. My gf does it a bit here and there and I usually get pissy, heh, but I just hate it.

A related pet peeve would be asking what someone onscreen just said and thus making me miss what was said after that. Argh.

Also infants in theaters.

Well, in that case, I hate people who brake for NO reason. That happens quite often on some of the streets I drive on. :frown:

My wife does this sometimes. She'll ask what is happening, and I always tell her "I don't know, you're supposed to watch it to find out!"

Actually, growing a pair and going outside to yell at her would be the best course of action.

That, or "accidentally" turning on the sprinkler system the next time she's in the yard. :evil:

These people are also the ones with the slowest reflexes... when someone finally lets them go, they take their sweet @$$ time making sure it's ok. W T F !?

Generally, you have to. Call the police department on their casual number and ask (or you could call 911 and ask them about the law around your area... :D)

May'be I will. May'be today I'll stop being so passive, walk right out there and tell her "Hey Lady! Dog let your damn dog poop in my yyayaaaarRDD!! AAGHHHH!!" If you are wondering what that last part was, it was her German Shepard ripping my throat out. It's a big dog.

The only thing worse than that, is when Evangelists try to convert you when you're already a Christain!!!

And almost as bad as that is when you have proclaimed Christians being total hypocrites and have no clue how you're really supposed to live your life as a Christian. There is one denomination in particular that is the worst at this but I won't go there...

People who get mad because I've lost 70 pounds in 5 months doing the low-carb thing ;)

Actually, I'm surprised to see the vast animosity towards heavy set folk. Many posters here will be in the same boat when middle age crops up.

I have no problem with the way people look. I have a problem with inconsiderate people. So my main beef is the lack of politeness running rampant in our society.

I don't really have many pet peeves. But I hate getting stuck behind slow cars on the highway. Like, I don't mind passing people, but when all the cars in all the lanes are going the exact same speed it sucks.
