People who keep saying, "Today I will lose weight!!" and then they eat over, then "Tomorrow for sure I will start this!!" and repeat. Every. Day0

people who can't use 'their', 'there', 'they're' properly along with 'to', 'too', 'lose' and 'loose'
and all such similar words... drives me insane
My MIL does this all the time! Then she has the balls to complain about people who don't use proper grammar. Ummmm....what? She's as dumb as a box of rocks!0 -

Me too! I had someone once say 36 months. I had to stop for just a moment and then said "so you mean he's 3?" SMH...
Dude..... that's madness.0 -
when they try to fit all the legal jargon in at the end of commercials,speaking super fast....for me, an instant screwdriver to my temples.0 -
Hard to peel hardboiled eggs. This one isn't for me, but a friend. He's had the worst morning due to 3-4 hard to peel eggs. He lost two of them b/c so much white was peeling off with the shell and eventually threw one at the garbage can, which exploded and he had to sweep up. Man, so funny and so irrational.0

When random people I do NOT know just walk into my house. Yes, it happens. Dh is an electrician and is always telling "Joe the light guy" to come over and pick up a tool that's in the basement or garage without letting me know first! Once I was upstairs having just gotten out of the shower and heard the door open and see an unfamiliar truck in the driveway. I quickly locked my bedroom door and called dh and he was like "Oh, that's Frank. I told him to come over and get the blah blah blah tool in the basement!" Well, Frank is lucky I didn't shoot him because next time I might! Makes me SO mad that now the doors are always locked!0

The zipper merge is a great theory, but never really works in practice - every morning on my commute, I go through a section of highway where 2 lanes merge into 1 as you approach downtown Cleveland. Notice is provided by signs about 5 miles out. What happens is: the decent human beings start merging when they can safely do so, the scumbags rush to the very front of the open lane and put on their blinkers and squeeze in at the last minute, because you know, their time is so much more valuable than everyone else's and they just can't be bothered to wait like the rest of us...
And therein lies the problem. "The decent people merge when they can and the and the scumbags rush to the front"
Those "scumbags" are actually doing it properly. It's become such an issue here that there have been commercials and radio spots put out telling people to stop getting over early and merge at the merge point in turns. If everyone were to follow the rule, traffic would move a lot smoother.
If the city wants to implement a zipper merge, then they need to set up signs and instruct drivers appropriately. Otherwise, the merge point is just a clusterf*ck of angry people, with no one understanding what they are supposed to do. Absent instructions, people need to merge when the sign tells them to merge, not race to the front of the line and pull a stunt that slows things down even more.
Isn't it just a general rule already though? I didn't think it changed from city to city. Our state is indeed enforcing it. The signs that warn you are doing just that "merge ahead" not "merge now." The warning signs are to make you aware that people will be soon merging into your lane and you should let them.
We don't have directions for zipper merging here, but we should. What a pain in the *kitten* it is to get onto the freeway. And I'm not going to let 5 cars in when it's wall to wall traffic on a 3 lane highway, sorry man, 1 person merges, then the other person goes, 1 person merges, then the other person goes...it's common sense!

I have a few...
Drivers that haul butt to get around you, just to cut in front of you for whatever reason. My rage increases exponentially when it's a lane closure that's either been announced for miles, or has been there forever (out of state tags get a pass on the latter)
Drivers that make a left turn and cross through the oncoming traffic part of the road they're turning on to. Rage increases when they look at me like I'm the idiot.
Chewing with your mouth open.
Talking with food in your mouth. My wife will purposefully ask me a question right after I've taken a bite just to watch the aneurism in my brain go *pop*
Blu-Ray, DVD, VCR, Games are all seperated by form (disc, tape, cart), system, then alphabetized.
Do NOT touch my tools. That goes for my tool box at home and at work.0 -

I have a large truck and you do this to me, plan on waiting to pull behind me, I will let you run off the road before you merge in front of me. I guarantee you wouldn't jump in line in front of me if we were standing in a line! I Promise!
I digress! vent over.
^^^ jeez brother, road rage much? The last thing they need to let you do is drive a large truck.
Me: people that DON'T use the full merge lane piss me off. It's inefficient. Merge at the merge point, dammit! That's why it's known as the M-E-R-G-E P-O-I-N-T. Then once you're there, quickly, smoothly, and respectfully take turns forming a single line. It's so easy. And painless. It truly works better this way.
Yes, as a matter of fact I road rage daily!!!! However, I agree with you, use the merge lane, as the merge appears, begin the process. Do NOT run up the side of the lane and dart in front of another car. If it is your turn to merge in front of me, welcome! If you are racing up the side of me and all the sudden your lane is gone, your out of lane and out of luck! Everyone that drives, knows exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about taking turns, I'm talking about those who have an entitlement complex!

I bike a ton. Love, love, LOVE it! Over the years, I've gotten fast for a female. But it took a LOT of training. I train with racers and get handed my @ss regularly. But, lord help me, when I'm out by myself, nearly every male cyclist that I come across has this massive issue with being passed or outridden by a female. Some will very nearly kill themselves to stay ahead of me, ride my rear wheel (srsly?!) or just run me down. Maybe I'm commuting. Or I'm tired. Or maybe I'm just not in the mood for this testosterone-fueled cr@p today... But damn if I'm not the conquest EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm not the fox. I'm not the rabbit. I'm not the trophy. We are NOT competing on STRAVA. I can and will humiliate you if you don't back the F off. I understand the impulse, sort of, but not really. I don't mow down other cyclists. To aggressive cycling dude - it's possible a woman might be more skilled at THIS ONE THING than you are. And maybe she doesn't appreciate being harassed. And maybe she doesn't feel like engaging with yet another jerk. Or maybe she's thisclose to humiliating you in front of your brahs - but is opting not to. Deal with it.
Thanks for letting me rant. Aaaaaaaaaahhhh....0 -
People who speed in parking lots or school zones OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!0

Someone flying past you, just to cut you off and slam on their brakes to make the next turn.0

Impeding me in some manner and then not saying "excuse me". Especially after I reflexively say "excuse me" even though I'm entirely in the right and have done nothing rude, and the other person fails to say "excuse me" back. Practicing good manners is a dying art0

My husband was raised with, uh, a very different manners set than I was. I always say "excuse me" when I pass someone, even if I'm in no way inconveniencing them. For the first few years of our marriage, whenever I'd say "excuse me", he would say " did you fart?" and giggle like a mad man. Oh man. There are no words for the rage I felt.

People who breathe really loud for no reason, slow drivers in the fast lane, people who don't use their blinkers, scraping ice off my windshield and someone stepping on my shoes.0

People who chew loudly lol0

I am instantly enraged by the limp appendaged little man who walks his unleashed dog past my house every morning and lets her crap in my yard. I keep a clean yard, I clean up after my own FIVE dogs everyday and this *kitten* wipe lets his mutt merrily leave land mines for me to pick up. I'm eyeing a wrist-rocket at the sporting goods store.0

To be honest, most days it would be quicker to list what doesn't...0

I can't stand when people fart around me. I know it's a natural bodily function, but go find a secluded spot and do that.0

People who open, sniff and test things on store shelves then put them back. Ugh. 1. I don't want someone else's snot on something I might buy and 2. Things are expensive enough to not have the full amount you think you're buying.0
-
People who ask you a question like "what did you do this weekend" and then walk away before you've finished talking. I see red every time that happens and yeah it happens often enough that I don't initiate conversations with that co-worker too often. Although I think that's a pretty rational thing to get pissed at....
Humming... Fing hate it! It's like look at me or something - I don't know but i HATE it!0 -
Anyone talking on a mobile phone on public transport. (a quick 30sec, 1 minute is fine)0

Oh I almost forgot -snot sucking. You know when someone makes that loud sucking through the back of their throat noise and we all know it means their inhaling some snot to swallow down... Its not the action, we've all been sick. Its the loud gross noise. Go blow your nose or something. Eeeeewwwwww!0

One size fits all "You are not a special snowflake" people.
Really? My DNA and epigenome are identical to everyone else's? No, I don't think so.0
