What annoys you?

I'll start:

1.) Coworkers who don't care, don't know how to do their job, or are just too lazy to do it.

2.) Squirrels.

3.) Electrical problems. I have no problem with other issues, but electrical problems suck.

4.) Democrats.

5.) The SPEED network lately. Let's come up with a really cool program called "Setup", find a really cool host (T.K.), and then see if we can bring some idea of what it is actually like to race to the living rooms of Americans. OK, now let's berkeley it up by spending 90% of the time on the air INTERVIEWING the berkeleying drivers and watching them cry. Great program, SPEED. Great program.

6.) Vendors (the folks my company buys E36 M3 from) who don't know how to do their jobs. When I spend 5 hours every week fixing the E36 M3 just ONE of our suppliers messes up, it's a little out of control.

7.) People who butcher the English language. Not foreigners who have trouble speaking it - I mean people who learned English first and are determined to do whatever is necessary to destroy it.

8.) People who complain.

9.) Republicans.

10.) Magazines who think a car is hot E36 M3 because it costs a lot of money, but then rate it poorly because - you guessed it - it costs a lot of money. What do you expect?! Why not rate a car based on how well it executes the functions for which it was designed? Then your 69,000 Z06 starts to look pretty good.

Anyone else annoyed by anything?

Slow internet speed

I'm annoyed by almost everything. Things that don't annoy me:

1. People who aren't stupid
2. Things that work and don't suck
3. Ideas that aren't stupid

That's pretty much it.

Body work.

TSA workers who steal my Altoids. I know you motherberkeleyers have bad breath and nobody is bringing a plane down with minty freshness. Buy your own you berkeleying thieves!

People who think it matters whether its a Republican or Democrat who protect the wishes of the capitalist elite. That is merely the illusion of choice to keep you peasants from burning the berkeleying place to the ground and taking their all schit.

People with neon colored "triple" windshield wipers. Its not the 90s, get a goddamn giant wing like everyone else.

PT Cruisers. I have no idea why... they all need to be crushed.

Adults with plush toys. They should be dipped in smallpox before they fill the crane machine.

Lite beer. Commit to something you berkeleying pogues!

People.

People that say crikey.

Walter, I no longer respond to "Lite Beer". Just call it what it is. Diet.

"Yes. I'll have a Diet Miller for me and a Bud Diet for the girl."

AMERICAN POLITICS. I don't care about it, I'm sick of hearing about it, and I really feel sorry for those of you who actually live in the U.S. and have to put up with ten times as much of this stupid, sensationalist rubbish as I do.

There, I said it. I feel better now.

Yes. Yes, I know what you mean.

People

Really just stupid people but it's hard to distinguish stupid till it's too late so just people.

Chrysler/Dodge vehicles and their over priced parts.

• People who think high fashion is the coolest thing in the world. This girl I've been friends with since middle school, have three courses with her this semester, has become one of these people. She just spent $3000 on a pair of berkeleying shoes! She says "they are high fashion, it's better than being a walking billboard." Yea I can be a non-walking billboard for a lot cheaper. Plane white t-shirt and wal-mart brand gym shorts.

Just be glad you don't live in a swing state. Then you would be getting dinner interrupted by robocalls from both candidates.

You are not even kidding about this. I had no fewer than five calls last night alone. And, we don't have a machine so I just answer the phone with, "I have already voted" and hang up. I did actually have real people for two of those calls.

Maybe they're going after the robot vote.

Oh man I would have SO much fun with a real person on a call like that...hmm I wonder how much it would cost for you to collect-forward those calls to me

An air horn next to the phone gets me off those call lists real fast.

Chrissakes, SC isn't even supposed to be a swing state and I get those aggravating things as well. I quit being nice; that just encourges them. When they start telling me it's a survey or poll I just say 'Nope, sorry' and then hang up. If it's a robocall I just hang up.

Things that annoy me:

Obliviots who try to multitask on their cell or BlackBerry or whatever the latest PSED (Penis Substitute Electronic Device) is while I am trying to find out what their concern is with their car.

Obliviots who wander all over their lane, speed up and slow down, or just sit at a stop while using the PSED mentioned above.

Co workers who are asked to keep an eye on something simple while I am at lunch, then I return to find that the minor thing has been ignored and is now turning into a potboiler.

Rude small children.

Those damn rat dogs (Pomeranians, Yorkies etc). If you are gonna have a dog, get a dog, not a loud toothy dust mop.

Ads which infer that if you don't buy a (insert overpriced car, diamond, toy or whatever) for (Valentines, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Groundhog Day, 4th of July or pick a holiday) you are an evil ne'er do well who does not love your spouse or child.

People who equate wearing/driving pricey labels with having class. Some of the classiest people I have ever known have worn no name blue jeans and plain shirts and drove old nondescript cars while some of the worst scuzzbags have worn high end clothes and driven high end cars.

People who think because you don't necessarily follow all of THEIR enviromental rules you are some kind of nature hating dirtbag who clubs baby seals to use for bait to capture and torture right whales which you then squeeze the oil from to run a HUMMER with the express purpose of jacking global temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius.

• People who think their religious views should be your religious views, and yet don't seem to care what other religions think. (Don't think gays should marry and yet are not wearing burkas)
• People who call themselves Repulicans
• People who call themselves Democrats
• People who think there is any real difference between Democrats and Rebublicans
• A-holes who think riding a bike with no exhaust muffling is somehow cool, and are stupid enough to tell people it is for safety.
• Passing a bond proposition = No New Taxes. So you are going to pay double for this thing, and yet somehow never have to pay for it?
• Any political advertisements.
• People who are stupid, but think they are smart.
• Anything that involves the word Attitude.
• People who think in absolutes (i.e. socialism is always bad, capitalism is always bad)

On a road where two lanes merge, the people who get right on the bumper of the person in front of them (in either lane) so that it is impossible for anyone to merge, and traffic comes to a complete halt. Or the people who see that everyone is/has merged, and speed past everyone and force themselves in. Thus stopping the flow of traffic.

So, pretty much the majority of drivers.

...but...but...but... how can we talk about rudders, corner entry, or smart looking sunglasses without it!

confuZion3 said:What annoys you?

People that ask what annoys me! Minding my own business doing nothing but getting things done, wife gives me a blank look "You OK?"

Hey Blomee, what prompted that?

Serious, people that get target fixation on the highway; i.e. you step it up 2 mph to ease past, they step up also, you go up two more, they ante. You know it's not on purpose, they just catch something in their periphery and their foot responds because their brain isn't into it yet.

Numbsayin? Blah, blah, bla..Numbsayin?

I started answering 'no". Blank look. Finally the guy asks [axes] Whu? "No, I don't know what you are saying?"

OK, I'm done, I just don't have patience today, I used them all up on a coworker that never cleans up the equipment when he's done. I come along next and start off behind because I have to reset and clean. Management knows but doesn't want a confrontation.

Oh look, it's beer o'clock!

C'ya, Dan

I'm pretty sure some of them mean it. One time I was trying to pass a taxi on the highway (a BMW M3...tax loophole), I was going under 100kph when I started to pass, and I noticed I'd been pressing down the gas pedal quite a bit in my attempt to pass this guy. I looked down and noticed we were doing over 160kph. Well at least I knew nothing was wrong with the car.

Besides everything in general...

"Extreme".

I have a mountain bike. I had quite the collection of BMX bikes. I wasn't EXTREEEEEM, I was some kid riding trails.

At some point, "extreme" meant any activity more dangerous than sitting on the couch. That may change, we may soon have EXTREME TV WATCHING CHALLENGE !!!!

automatic transmissions

People who annoy me?

Naggers.
