    3. People who did around in their purse or pockets trying to find the exact 47 cents they need to pay.


    Whoops, haha, guilty!!! Sorry not sorry ;)

    People who unquestioningly believe anything on Faux News. Or said by almost any elected Republican.

    For me, most of it relates to driving. Can't figure out why there are SO MANY freakin bad drivers in the world.

    Anyone heard of blinkers? And actually going fast in the fast lane? Yeah.

    women who think we are the same as men and should be treated as such, no I don't think they should be disrespectful to us but in my home my husband is the leader I love staying at home with my children and taking care of our home, I wouldn't have it any other way there are many things that I wouldn't want to have to do that women try to fight the men for

    The fact that it's so commonplace for people to think of men as "leaders" and women as "followers" (or submissive domestic servants). UGH. Women fighting for total autonomy and political/social rights and responsibilities =/= women wanting to be "the same as men".

    T.T

    Well said, responder. Well said.

    gun carrying folks who claim to love their fellow man.

    Careful, this one will start a flame war ;) I am a decent person. I graduated from tech school recently as a medical assistant. I plan to go to nursing school in the fall. All my life, the only thing I've wanted to do is something where I can help people. I am also a regular blood donor. I go out of my way to help perfect strangers when I see they need it.

    I also regularly carry out my second amendment rights. I am not trying to start an argument, but one of MY biggest pet peeves is people that are judgmental and/or lump all people of a group into one stereotype. I'm not saying I'm not judgmental, 'cause I totally can be, but one should completely think through what they're saying before putting pen to paper (or fingers to keys, in this case lol). Just wanted to say my piece. I hope you have a wonderful evening and I do hope that not all gun owners/carriers give you such a horrible impression. :)

    My Top 5:

    1.) Reality TV Shows:
    ex.) Honey Boo Boo Child, Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, Bad Girls, etc.
    [Only reason I know these shows is because my sister watches it. SMH.)

    2.) When people are in urgent help and no one goes to help them or dials 911.

    3.) People that always try to make a scene embarrassing themselves but no one has the balls to tell them to tone it down a notch.

    4.) I hate it how when there's clearly safety rules for driving and no one follows them.
    (ex: Talking on their cell phone, texting. cutting you off in traffic, not signaling when they turn, going too slow when there's a speed limit, etc.)

    5.) I hate it how a lot of people are sheep and blindly follow along with anything that their told without doing the proper research.

    People who take a poo and don't flush until they are done. So anyone who walks in gets a whiff of their horrible stench. Its called a courtesy flush. You are to do it at least once depending on your length of time.. You'd be surprised how many folks don't realize that a courtesy flush will eliminate the stench to a huge degree..

    Hahaha, this! Unless you have a great air freshener, give a first flush!

  • I lost a bit of respect for the human race today. I was taking a walk on my lunch hour in the neighborhood behind my office. A neighbor had 2 dogs, fenced in, who started barking ferociously at my approach and just kept right on going along with me down the fenceline. Now, I was minding my own business. I was in my space. They were in theirs. No harm, no foul, right?

    So explain to me why, for the love of God, did their owner come out of the house yelling at me for 'upsetting' her dogs by WALKING DOWN THE STREET? It's not like I stopped to try to pet them. She irritated me in the first place for yelling at me, but I thought I'd do the polite thing and apologize for disturbing her. Her response was, " I'm not the one who started them barking in the first place!"

    ..... what? Someone offers you up an apology for something that was not even under their control... not even WORTH apologizing for, really... and what? Here, let me apologize to myself and next time I'll tell you to go get effed.

    Blocking a lane of traffic at the grocery store while you "wait" for your friend/spouse/etc. to "run" in for just a second. Seriously, probably 90% of people in the grocery just needed to run in for a sec, park in a spot like everyone else.

    Texting while driving, for that matter drinking and driving... I'm on the road too - and usually have my child in the car, if you want to kill yourself dont take anyone else out with you.

    Not holding the door/elevator for people that are directly behind you.

    Yes! All 3 of these drive me insane!

    2. People getting annoyed at elderly people. We will all be there one day, Lord willing that is, so calm down. If you have aches and pains at 35 how do you think that you will feel at 80? Some elderly people tend to talk alot but alot of elderly people are lonely, let them talk for three minutes, the world isn't going to end.

    This. I take my 85 year old Grandma shopping about once a month so she can get out and feel like she is doing something. She rides the store scooter and people give her dirty looks and are so rude to her because she is slower. It makes me so mad and I usually end up saying something. If anyone deserves to use that store scooter, it is my 85 year old Grandma who has worked hard her whole life and doesn't get around like she used to.

    I love that you take your Grandma out, but so mad that other people are *kitten*! >.<

    In regards to my job.

    Kids with no manners.

    If Im talking to a Jim member and they are going "Renee! Renee! Can I Use the Phone?"

    They also like to walk right up to the counter while Im in the middle of a transaction with a member. This is a private transaction, and its rude to come and stand right next to the member to wait. GRRRR

    You know, the things that people do that ANNOY you so much that they leave you in disbelief. Here are my top three...

    1. People beeping at a school bus, especially at kindergardeners. You aren't going to be there for ten minutes so calm down and relax.

    2. People getting annoyed at elderly people. We will all be there one day, Lord willing that is, so calm down. If you have aches and pains at 35 how do you think that you will feel at 80? Some elderly people tend to talk alot but alot of elderly people are lonely, let them talk for three minutes, the world isn't going to end.

    3. People not flushing the toilet in a public restroom. Dude, you're nasty!

    #2 for sure, I'm 61 and my mom 85. Young people have no patience for her, she uses a walker or cane. When I was growing up adults taught you to have tons of compassion for older people and offer help whenever you could. I don't see that at all today, and I don't see it in government's compassion. It's made me lose respect for sure, what a sad thing for a society that has more food, shelter and lifestyle than any time in history, to lose it's civilization.

    There are so many answers I could give to this, but I'll just limit it to this:
    The Tory Party.
    Screw you, David Cameron.

    - people that are on there phones all the time even on a date or sitting with there family. I once saw a family in a restraunt and all four of them were messing on there phones and no one was talking, even while they were eating they were. What ever happen to sit down with the family and talk family things.
    - people that cut me off when i am turning right in the right hand lane and there turning left from the opposite direction and come all the way over in my lane. Seriously its against the law, you must turn in the correct lane.
    - Facebook LOL.
    - People that dont think responsible gun owners should own guns.
    - Parents that are not involved in there childrens life. TV babysitters.
    - The generation that thinks everything should be given to them and dont want to work hard to achieve things.

    I too have many answers to this question, but I have to say:

    The Labour Party. Screw you Ed Miliband, and all your chronies who completely mismanaged the economy for 10 long years and want to borrow yet more money to pay off the overdraught.

    But let us not drag politics into an otherwise interesting post.....!

    Semi-intelligent people I used to know who have ditched their academic lives and any hope of a career to sit in their basements and preach the teachings of David Icke.
