At the airport:
Arriving at the luggage belt just to find those dim-witted idiots blocking the entire belt even though there's nothing on it, yet. And the absolute experts take their luggage trollies right UP TO the belt to block even more people who might want to get through to get their stuff.

omg, i am right there w/ you. this one drives me freakin nuts. why cant people stay several steps back from the baggage area and then when you see your bag, step forward and grab it? everything would flow so much smoother.

i dont understand why no airport does not have some sort of tape down five feet away from the baggage area and with words "wait for bags here"

When a gaggle of old people meet up first thing in the morning at Meijer, Wal Mart, the local Mall's food court, etc. and then just proceed to hang out there all morning, sitting and talking. Every day. Without exception. Same [censored] old people. Every [censored] day.

I know they're old, and they're just doing something they enjoy that doesn't hurt anyone, but Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ if I ever get that bored when I'm old I swear to God I'll eat a [censored] bullet.

lol, bob, it was a joke due to the high black populations in the tunica casinos. i know fat people of all nations, colors, and creeds block the aisles there, i go at least once a year.

my own list:

People who type their poker hand with a comma: "i had 6,8 in the big blind". AUGH just type 68 or 6-8. 6,8 looks retarted.

People who back into parking spaces for no reason.

People who rearend other people in rush hour, turning a tedious commute intolerable. I seriously wanna roll down the window and just scream "LEARN HOW TO [censored] DRIVE" at these people. Pull your head out of the brown! IT'S RUSH HOUR. YOU WILL BE STOPPING AND STARTING. ANTICIPATE IT. God damn. I totally lost it on a guy on the Strip last year at the WSOP. I was stopped at a light and he just ran into my back bumper. I got out and berated him in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard like he just runner runnered me for the 5th time. "YOU RAN INTO A PARKED CAR, HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE!" Man, it should be so much harder to get a driver's license.

lol, yeah. my job is providing training for judges. our classes start at 8 AM, with continental breakfast laid out at 7. part of my glory is having to be in the hotel lobby at 630 in a suit. BARF. and the worst thing is when i get down there, there are some of the judges already just chilling down there. GOD DAMN SLEEP IN! It's like they're rubbing it in that I can't sleep in. If I was attending the class, I would roll in about 7:59. [censored], as long as yall are down there, why don't you set up all the junk that I have to do, and I'll go sleep another 50 minutes or so.

There is always a reason to back into a parking space. It's so we don't have to back out. I do it all the time. Gets the tough part of parking out of the way.

[suzzer99]

Generally I find it easier to back into an empty parking lot than a tight parking space.

[DrewDevil]

Old people can't sleep, and they go to bed at 7:30.

Anyway, my minor thing that infuriates me is rubberneckers. Traffic is already bad enough, but when I'm bumper to bumper for 20 minutes, only to arrive at an accident scene that's ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOTHER F-IN HIGHWAY, NOT AFFECTING THE TRAFFIC IN MY LANES AT ALL, I really lose it.

I can see the m-f'ers ahead of me BRAKING so they can slow down and take a goooooood loooooooong look at the pretty broken glass and bent fenders on the other side of the highway. That's when I lean on my horn and start yelling.

That infuriates you?

[turnipmonster]

people who stand on the left side of an escalator or moving walkway.

people on super crowded subways who insist on standing directly by the doors when there are 10 million people trying to get past them. people who don't step all the way into the cars when the train is crowded.

people who sit down on the subway and spread their legs way out so people won't sit next to them and in general take up more room than they need on purpose.

people who walk 3+ abreast taking up the whole sidewalk. it is particularly annoying when I am coming up behind a group like this and there is a lot of traffic. if I am jogging and can't cut over into the street I'll frequently jump over or onto something (stairs, planter) to get around them. I'm sure I have scared the hell out of a few people doing this and that makes me feel great.
